About this property

Secluded, Spacious Beachfront Villa w/ Stunning Views throughout, Kayaks & SUP

Sunnyside Beach Villa is a lovely, spacious, light, and airy beachfront rental villa directly on a beautiful stretch of sandy beach in Spanish Wells Eleuthera Bahamas. This area is safe, clean, and pristine. The rental offers free use of a stainless-steel gas grill, (2) tandem ocean kayaks, SUP board, and hammock.
The villa rental offers three master suites - each offering its own bedroom, full bathroom, and a 9' expanse of French doors leading onto a spacious covered verandah with excellent views of the beach, sea, and surrounding islands. Likewise, the large, airy, open, great room with high ceilings offers an outstanding ocean view from a 16' expanse of sliding glass doors, which also lead unto the large covered verandah overlooking the ocean. All renters agree, this villa offers the best ocean views on the entire island from every room! They call it 'a million dollar view.' This villa is bright, cheerful, and comfortable.

This villa rental offers all amenities including a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, open kitchen, central A/C, ceiling fans throughout. This spacious beach villa rental offers more than 120 feet across private beach front, which makes it quite private. (Other homes on the beach offer as little as 36 feet of beach frontage with neighboring home overhangs actually touching, some are connected to other apartments, and others are not really on the beach at all. ) Sunnyside's is a BEACHFRONT property offering 120' of private beach -- more than any other rental in Spanish Wells. Sunnyside is NOT near the beach, close to the beach, a short walk from the beach, a lot behind the beachfront lots; it is a BEACHFRONT property.

Renters here have delighted in catching many bonefish directly in front of Sunnyside Beach Villa. There is also terrific snorkeling, fishing, and diving available in Spanish Wells. Sunnyside Beach Villa includes free use of (2) 2-man ocean kayaks and paddleboard which are great ways to explore the area. (Otherwise, kayaks and paddleboards are very expensive to rent separately if you can find one for rent.) Golf cart rentals are plentiful in Spanish Wells and can easily be rented starting at $225/wk. = $32/day.

Sunnyside Beach Villa is located in a secluded area, but just a few minutes from the conveniences of Spanish Wells including well-stocked grocery stores, restaurants, bars, home bakeries, liquor stores, variety stores, marinas, and more.

Sunnyside Beach Villa is located on an idyllic beach with powder soft pinkish sand. The beach is calm, tranquil, and warm with no rocks, rough surf, or riptides, and the ocean is so clear you can see your shadow on the bottom!

This beach villa rental is a great choice for one couple looking for a romantic getaway, two - four couples traveling together, or a group of up to eight adults and three small children.

Beds:
Bedroom 1: 1 king bed
Bedroom 2: 1 king bed and a triple bunk beds
Bedroom 3: 1 king bed & 1 queen bed.

Sunnyside sleeps up to 8 adults and three small children.
Sunnyside offers a base rental rate for 1 - 6 guests. There is a charge of US$50/night for each additional guest. Please be sure to enter the correct number of guests in your VRBO form so that your rental rate quote from VRBO is correct.

SWIMMING PIGS, TAME SEA TURLES, STINGRAYS, DOLPHINS.... OH MY!!
We can help you with reserving fishing charters, snorkeling trips, boat and golf cart rentals, and booking a now famous " SEAVENTURE". Its best to reserve these at the same time that you reserve the villa. Capt. Smiley, the property manager of Sunnyside Beach Villa, along with his brother Capt. Scuba are licensed captains that enjoy taking our visitors on fishing, snorkeling, boating, and land excursions. Many of our guests say that their excursion with Capt. Smiley or Capt. Scuba is one of the very best parts of their vacation. The captains also rent boats and golf carts at the best prices in town. Call us at Spanish Wells SeaVentures or Spanish Wells Realty, Ltd. to reserve your boat, golf cart, and / or excursion.

SeaVenture reviews:
"Can't say enough good things about Capt. Smiley and our snorkeling trip with him. He got a big cooler filled with ice & drinks, we brought along some lunch and snacks, and so began one of the best days ever. We went swimming with the pigs (amazing fun). We went to Egg Island and saw beautiful colorful marine life in really shallow water that the kids could really enjoy. We boated to other islands and beaches, had a beach picnic, found some conch, sand dollars, and amazing shells, snorkeled in beautiful sea gardens, and a couple of us were brave enough to jump off a cliff! I could go on and on, but shan't. We will definitely hook up with Captain Smiley again when we return to Spanish Wells." Michael Goodroe, CA, USA.

“We loved our day away with Captains Ron & Smiley! They took us to deserted beaches, amazingly beautiful reefs, and we even caught a bunch of nice snappers for dinner! They hooked fish for the youngsters and let them reel them in. They were very patient and accommodating. We saw beautiful starfish, a huge ray, many beautiful fish, and as we were going back to the dock at the end of a great day, we saw a group of dolphins - with mamas and babies. Wow what a day! I highly recommend a day away with Spanish Wells SeaVentures. It was the highlight of our trip!" Lorna Palowski, NC, USA.

“We had a great time exploring North Eleuthera with Capt. Scuba. Historic Preacher’s Cave, other hidden caves, a magnificent blue hole, the truly amazing Glass Window Bridge, Queen’s Bath, and he took us to pick fresh mangoes from his farms – delicious! He’s very knowledgeable about the area having grown up “in the bush”! On a different day Capt. Scuba took us spear fishing. (He’s a local commercial lobster diver when he’s not doing tours and fishing trips for folks like us.) We caught groupers, snappers, lobsters, and other fish on which all 5 of us feasted for days. All in all we had two great days with Capt. Scuba.” Mary Monnaco, FL, USA

Spanish Wells is the fishing capital of the Bahamas, so there are all kinds of fresh seafood available. There are eight restaurants/bars or take aways, 3 full liquor stores, 3 grocery stores, and five variety stores that sell local goods, souvenirs, and more within 1 mile of Sunnyside. There are also home bakeries for fresh baked goods each day, coffee and pastry cafes, and even homemade fresh ice cream available nearby.

Spanish Wells is reminiscent of an idyllic Cape Cod fishing village with swaying coconut palm trees and bright bougainvillea as background. Winding little roads lead a visitor around brightly painted cottages sporting gables and wooden shutters. One can walk around the island, wade for sand dollars on the north beach, purchase the fresh catch of the day from local fishermen, and browse the centuries-old village. Spanish Wells offers one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas and is considered the fishing capital of The Bahamas. The waters surrounding Spanish Wells offer excellent snorkeling, diving, bone fishing, reef fishing, and deep-sea fishing. Spanish Wells is a boater's and fisherman's paradise. Spanish Wells is considered by many to be the most prosperous, clean, pristine, and safe community in The Bahamas.

I recently rented this home well situated on the best beachfront in Spanish Wells. The home is well outfitted for a large group and everything works..which can be a challenge sometimes in the Bahamas. Lorraine was easy to deal with and the house is as advertised.

Wonderful home met our needs perfectly. Our group of 5 with three separate parties had plenty of room and privacy. Great hot tub. Lorraine was great to work with from the start and Brent helped us with everything wonderfully during our stay. Take a day trip to Harbour Island by way of water taxi....very fun. Get a massage from Lucia at Bodyworks...amazing. Quiet, beautiful beach was perfect for relaxing and looking for shells.

Sunny Side Villa

The house is in a beautiful location. The beach just off the porch is gorgeous. It is easy to forget the town sits on the other side of the house. The grocery store is just around the corner. Norma's take-away is a few streets over. The view is amazing. Perfect place to simply unwind, relax, and have a totally peaceful vacation. Not a place for the person who can't entertain themselves.

Wonderful property in a perfect setting!

First trip to Spanish Wells - and can't wait to go back! Lorraine and Kalina could not have been more helpful or attentive to our travel needs - arranging our transport from airport by taxi to the Ferry, and picked us up upon arrival and took us to this wonderful property. We had seven in our party - and the layout of the house was perfect - very comfortable, open floorplan, large covered deck, and steps to one of the most beautiful, peaceful beaches in the Bahamas. Kayaks, Paddleboards, and floaties all included. We rented two golf carts as well for our trip (which were arranged and waiting for us upon arrival) - which allowed us to freely explore the island - a place filled with friendly people, fantastic food, and plenty of adventures in the ocean. Thank you for your hospitality - and we look forward to returning to visit the island and this property again in the future!

Super Beach Holiday

My family including 6 adults and one 5 year old loved our stay. 3 couples each had our own bathroom with comfortable beds. The house was a terrific beach house with everything we needed. We loved just walking out the back door to the beach. We rented an extra golf cart to give us the ability to so our own thing when needed. Spanish Well is terrific, safe. Lorraine, Kalina and Brent Beauregard were wonderful even bring us vegetables from the farm. We had a great day of fishing and a 1/2 of sea adventures with Captain Smiley. We highly recommend. The Beauragard’s really make everything so easy from arranging taxi and transportation to and from the airport and making sure that we were happy with everything.

Vacation review from Cindy

This is the second time I have brought my family to Spanish Wells and Sunnyside. We keep coming back and will keep coming back. The house is fabulous and is right on the beach. The water and the beach is incredible. The pictures don't do it justice. The is close to the market so shopping is a breeze. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal. Trust me.....I cooked 21 meals for 7 people during the week I was there. It feels like home when we stay there. Lorraine is terrific. She insures that everything is in great order and assists with any of our on island needs from getting lobster and stone crab claws, to arranging transportation and the list goes on and on.

Spectacular Views

The views from this home are spectacular!. The beach is great and the home is in a nice location w/ easy access to grocery store/restaurants & Russell island. Unfortunately though the furnishings need updating. Towels literally were raveled at the edges, bedding was thin and out dated. Furnace is over 20 years old (which is probably why in the contract they state they will charge you extra for excess usage and recommend only turning air on periodically as furnace/ blower is ancient/inefficient) (so beware if booking during hot summer months) Outdoor steps off of patio need something on them to prevent slipping as well. Very Very slippery when wet (if you rinse your feet off when you come in from the beach). Again though the view is great, location is great and the home with a few inexpensive upgrades (towels / bedding) would be terrific as well.

Great location and friendly people

This was our second visit to Spanish Wells. We selected Sunnyside Beach Villa for more room, proximity to the beach, and location closer to town. This property was exactly what we were looking for. The location really cannot be beat for privacy, beach access, and proximity to everything you want in Spanish Wells. All the rooms were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for meal preparation. We also appreciated the abundance of large tables indoor and out for our larger party. We cooked most meals and always found what we needed. The grocery store is just around the corner so picking up an extra item or two was a cinch. The house includes beach toys and a few kayaks for exploring the water. Bring your snorkel gear and you won’t want to leave the house but just incase you do, the property manager arranged multiple outstanding excursions for our group. From sea turtle and stingray encounters to beach hopping, snorkeling and deep sea fishing, they can handle it all. Ask for Captain Smiley and you’ll be all smiles as well. As much as we enjoyed the property, it’s the people who made our visit so wonderful. The property managers were so kind, helpful, and accommodating and it really made our experience second to none!

Spanish Wells - Sunnyside Beach Villa - Fantastic!

Stayed here with my family in Feb. I can't say enough good things about this place. Spanish wells is very different from other islands I have been to in the Bahamas. The people are friendly, safety is never an issue, and for a tiny island they have a real grocery store. We brought food with us, don't think we would bother next time, the store has everything you could need. and it is less that a 1/4 mile from the house. There is a liquor store on the island now too, so you don't have to bring that with you either! Lorraine is fantastic, from arranging our transportation to stopping in to check on that everything was ok on our first evening and she even brought us fresh bread and tomatoes! The home is fantastic, amazing views, great deck, hot tub. The beach is great, hardly saw any other people the whole week. The photos do not come close to showing you how nice it is. The kitchen has everything you need, outdoor grill was great. We ate in most nights, there are good places to eat on the island, but it was hard to leave the house. We did rent the boat, was a blast exploring the islands and finding deserted islands and great little beaches. I look forward to going back here soon, would rent this place again without any hesitation.

Beautiful beach and house + friendly people = GREAT VACATION!!

This is our third trip to Spanish Wells. We love this place! We stayed at Sunnyside the first time, and just loved it. We tried to book Sunnyside for our second trip, but it was already booked. We were very sad, but we did get our beloved Sunnyside again for our third trip to Spanish Wells. Sunnyside is very spacious, has a great layout, and the most beautiful views. My favorite spot is the beach side porch where I could just curl up and read a book. The kids all used the jacuzzi, the bicycles, and ocean kayaks daily. They had a blast! Our friendly property manager, Brent (also known as Capt. Smiley) took us out for a great day of fishing. We had enough fish for several delicious meals! His brother, Capt. Scuba, took us on an Eleuthera excursion where we saw many different caves, blue holes, fruit farms, and other area landmarks. It was a fun day, and I would highly recommend Capt. Scuba's tour. (We rented a car on Eleuthera for a day, but didn't find any of these special places on our own.) We rented a boat from Brent / Capt. Smiley and had a great time exploring the area, finding new beaches, and snorkeling in beautiful clear waters. Lorraine had our rental golf carts ready for us at the house when we arrived. Spanish Wells is a beautiful little island, has all amenities, friendly locals, and is a place where safety isn't an issue. We look forward to making Spanish Wells a yearly family vacation.

Not too touristy, but just enough amenities. Not to miss: ice cream at Eagle's Landing, fresh fish and lobster from Bernard, incredible lightening storms over the water.

Love Spanish Wells

We’ve been to SW several times. This time, we needed a one-level home and beachfront. We wanted the best beach experience for family member with limited mobility. This house disappointed us on that. There is no “beach” view from the house or the lovely back porch. There is a view of the water, but not the beach. The path to the beach was not possible for her either. I regret I didn’t clarify that. Kitchen needs lighting and could use a few knives. Utensils and pans were greasy feeling, so we washed before use. Living area furniture is uncomfortable. Bathroom mirror needs replaced and some lighting would help. Lorraine took good care of us. We will return to SW. The people were kind and helpful everywhere we went.

Mid-winter getaway

We had a great two weeks in Sunnyside Beach Villa. The location was very convenient to shopping and dining, and the view from all three bedrooms was excellent. Sitting and relaxing on the porch while watching the blue water was great. We enjoyed several nights with a short ride to Papa Scoop's for ice cream as well. We also relaxed in the hot tub on several occasions. Our property manager was attentive to our needs, which weren't many, and Captain Smiley took us out shelling on one of our many beautiful days. On another day, we took a quick ferry ride to Harbour Island, which was a nice visit. The weather was great overall, and we really enjoyed our first time visiting Spanish Wells.

Trip of a Lifetime

This was a trip of a lifetime. I had been trying to talk my wife into going for several years and finally got her to do it for our 15th Anniversary..... We also decided we couldn't experience this beautiful island without our the 3 kids ( 7 yr old twin girls, 5 yr old son). We all 5 had one of our best experiences ever, from the time we landed in Northern Eleuthera via Pineapple Air to the time Mr. Underwood picked us up at 5:45 AM to take us back across the water to start our return trip. Sunnyside was perfect for a family and was well equiped. The kids and wife loved the kayak and paddle boards. The view from the kitchen/den and back porch were amazing and relaxing. The beach has a short path over the dune from the back of the house to the almost private beach. We might have seen 5 other people at any one time on the whole beach. The kids played almost all day, every day out in the water and in the beautiful soft sand. We ventured out to the sandbar and found shells. We walked out into the less than waist deep water(at low tide) until we couldn't walk anymore. One day we went out with Captain Smiley and Captain Ron for a snorkeling and fishing trip, which was amazing. They took us all around Egg Island and the kids worked their way out from the beach to swimming around the reef offshore. They even let them run around and the girls do cart wheels on a flat in the middle of the sea. This was their favorite part of the trip. Then we got back on the boat and Capt Smiley helped all 3 kids each catch plenty of fish. These guys made sure we had a great time. Capt Ron even gave us some mahi mahi to take home to cook. The food on the island is ok. Lots of the same frozen type generic foods at almost every place. Breakfast was good at the restaurant next to the grocery and bank. Shipwrecks near the harbor was very good. We had dinner at the yacht club that was pretty good as well. We cooked a couple of nights and picked up crawfish tails at the fish market by the harbor, which were excellent. We made several trips to the grocery for breakfast and lunch goods and it had everything you could want. It was a little high priced but for just a week and on this great island, it's worth the price. Overall, we will definitely go back, not sure when but hopefully sooner than later. Lorraine and Anna-Claire took great care of every detail. Thanks again!

Why they chose this property

What can we say? Love at first sight! This property is the widest beach property available in Spanish Wells, so, there is that much more private beach for us and our renters to enjoy. This property is the center of the 2+ mile long pinkish sandy beach. The home was constructed in such a way that all rooms have a fabulous beach and ocean view, and the entire house opens up for the breezes to just blow through. Ahhh .... Paradise!

What makes this property unique

Sunnyside Beach Villa is very unique in that all the living areas and all the bedrooms offer terrific views. It is also located in the center of this magnificent beach. Sunnyside also offers more beachfront than any other beach rental in the area. It offers 120' of beach front compared to as little as 36 feet across the beach for other nearby rentals. Sunnyside offers 2 ocean kayaks, bicycles, a stainless barbecue grill, a hammock with a fantastic ocean view and more.
