Boo's Bungalow - Family and Dog Friendly Waterfront, NOT BEACHFRONT, Cottage


A spacious family home with enough space for your whole group! Fully equipped to handle large groups with a bunk room, family room, two master bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, play area, and great room with a dining room table to fit everyone.

Enjoy the views that come with a waterfront property with water access. Just a short walk from the best bar on the island and a short golf cart ride away from a the public beach on Spanish Wells and more!

Our home is kid friendly, adult friendly and dog friendly. There is a great room with a living room area, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen has been stocked with all the equipment and tools you will need to cook a gourmet dinner and mix cocktails of your choice. We also supply basic spices, coffee, tea bags, flour, sugar, rice, olive oil, vegetable oil and a Berkey water filter to make 2.5 gallons of healthy drinking water at a time. Please note there is NO DISHWASHER in this property as they tend to break down quickly due to the salt air and minerals in the water.

All our bathrooms are stocked with towels, shower wash, shampoos, conditioner, hand soap, shaving cream, and emergency supplies of toothpaste and toothbrushes. We also have a baby bath, baby shampoo and bath wash, thermometer, first aid kits, after sun lotion, body lotion, and more. There is a bathroom next to the family bedroom with a tub, which is shared by all. The downstairs master bath has a huge two-person shower. Upstairs, the master and wardroom share a shower room, but each has its own sink/toilet room.

Our outdoor space includes a nice big deck, lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table, grill, cooler and outdoor shower. Off the deck, you will find a laundry room for your use. We also have a sand terrace, beach chairs, snorkelling equipment, some basic water shoes in various sizes, floats and 4 Inflatable paddle boards and 2 Crystal Clear Kayaks for rent.

***A $285 cleaning fee will be collected in CASH upon arrival. You will not be allowed on the property until our property manager has received the fee.

Please, contact the owner if you would like to bring a pet. Additional charges may apply.

The easiest way to travel around the island is via golf cart. We can help you make reservations with a local vendor. When renting through us we make sure your cart is waiting and the dock ready for you when you arrive.

Another great stay at Boo’s Bungalow! The space was great, the house is well equipped and having the Sand Bar basically across the street is the icing on the cake! Tracy took care of setting up the cart rentals and airport transfers, great overall experience.

Boo's beautiful bungalow!

Our trip was great. There was 9 of us and we spent our evenings grilling, eating dinner at the house and finishing the night off with some serious games of Uno. There are snorkeling spots along the shore behind the house and a couple beaches you can paddle to that aren't too far. The island is great place full of great people! Tracey had all the snall travel details lined out and took all the stress out of getting to and from the airport. Amazing vacation!

Amazing!

We had a fabulous stay at Boo’s place. The home is lovely, even better than it appears online, and truly has everything you could need. Check in was seamless. Tracy and Holly (house manager) were very attentive and helpful. We really enjoyed the kayaks and SUPs and we felt that the best deep water swimming on the island is right off the backyard. We saw starfish, rays and turtles while kayaking meters from the property. Also highly recommend Aquabliss for a boat trip. Thanks Tracy and Holly for a great vacation!

We felt nothing but at home during our stay. Communication with the owner was great and fast, plus the house manager, Mitchell, was fantastic! He was so helpful. We love the island and the seclusion. It’s a very low key place that’s quiet. Can’t wait to go back!

What a lovely house. The owners have done a wonderful job stocking it with all you could need, which is helpful on an island where supplies aren't at your fingertips. The property manger was available as soon as we needed him as well. Perfect spot for our trip with the girls.

Spanish Wells Christmas!

This house is exactly as advertised. It was clean, spacious (9 adults/older teens) and VERY well equipped. It was even decked out for Christmas! The location is great (especially proximity to the Sandbar!) and the house manager (Mitchell) was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. This was our first trip to Spanish Wells, and we found the residents to be kind and helpful, and the beaches to be stunning!

Great first experience to Russell Island

The house was very well appointed and well thought out design on a beautiful oceanside with excellent snorkeling right out front. The check-in process could not have been better. We were met at the airport, brought to the ferry, picked up right away by the property manager with golf cart waiting and brought to the home with no delay. Checkout was just as smooth. The islands of Russell and Spanish wells were stunning and we cannot wait to come back!

Heck yeah!

Although my family group changed from 8 adults and a child to three adults, everything else was perfect and quite frankly would have been for the larger group. In years of staying in VRBO, I have never been in a better equipped place. Everything needed was there both inside and outside. And yes there was room for three families. The setting was wonderful and the view spectacular. I spent many days reading in the shade on the deck looking out at the sea and cruise ships on the horizon. The Sandbar restaurant was across the street if you wanted to be served while eating or drinking on its beach. A short ride in a golf cart took you to other restaurants, shops and a well equipped, large grocery store. Couldn't get better!

We'll be back!

This was our first trip to Spanish Wells and we had a wonderful time. Our stay at Boo's Bungalow was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We had four adults and one infant and we were all comfortable. We have been traveling to the Bahamas for 20+ years and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. This was by far the best equipped and one of the nicest, if not the nicest, we have ever stayed at. We traveled with our toddler (17 month old) daughter for the first time and loved that we did not need to bring a portable crib, car seat (not needed on island) or high chair. We like to travel light and staying at Boo's Bungalow allowed us to do that. We loved the location and everything else about the house. Will definitely be back!

Perfect Christmas vacation!

From the beginning of rental approval throughout our whole stay - Boo’s Bungalow was quick to respond to my questions and would proactively provide amazing suggestions on where to eat, activities, etc. Boo’s Bungalow organized all transportation to and from the airport and the golf carts for our stay. Boo’s Bungalow was the most well equipped home our family has ever stayed in and you could feel the love and pride the family puts into this home. Beyond being well equipped with anything and everything (every kitchen utensil, spice, staple, they also had amazing vegan shampoo, conditioner and soap in the bathrooms). We stayed over Christmas break and arrived to the home with a lovely Christmas tree decorated and other decorations. My kids - 8, 10, and 12 loved throwing the football around the grassy backyard, snorkeling right off the shoreline and the bedroom upstairs with a TV. Being close to the Sandbar was nice too - we would just walk over and enjoy happy hour, drinks, and food. We are forever grateful to Boo’s Bungalow for providing great memories for our family! The description online is 100% accurate for what they offer and location. Thank you Boo’s Bungalow and the Spanish Wells community!!! We fell in love with this island and hope to return.

Amazing!

The house is amazing! Fully stocked, everything taken care of. We didn't have to go to the grocery store till the next day which was a blessing after traveling all day. If the tide is high one can snorkel right off the steps leading into the ocean. Location is great, only two minute walk from the Sandbar Restaurant and Bar. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained! Highly recommend!??!

Great second stay!

We returned a second time to stay at this magical place!! Enough room for 10 guests to sleep. The house is very well stocked with anything you need. It is peaceful but well located to water view and a restaurant. We had tried to use stand up paddle boards and kayaks - but neither worked (likely need repairs), but otherwise, we were so grateful for towels, life jackets, water shoes, basic foods, extra sunscreens, and so much more. If you want a unique and GORGEOUS view (you may even spot a sea turtle while snorkeling in the ocean right off the property like we did), you will love it.

Boo's is a gem!

Boo’s Bungalow is an excellent place to stay on Russell Island. The space is very well done and can accommodate large groups of people with lots of bathrooms and private space for everyone. Much larger than previous homes we have stayed at on the island. The property was clean and very well stocked with everything you might need. The host was extremely communicative and kind. The view was absolutely STUNNING! The listing is correct when it says it isn't on the beach but it is waterfront and gorgeous. We rented the boats but unfortunately the ocean was extremely choppy while we were there in February, and we were never able to go out in them. If the weather had been better, it would have been great to have access to the boats. Especially the crystal kayak! Looks like it would have been the perfect launch spot. We would stay here again and would recommend to others.
