Spanish Wells has a fascinating story that adds to its unique charm. The island traces its roots back to the 1600s, when shipwrecked British settlers — survivors of the Eleutheran Adventurers — made this small cay their home. Its name is believed to come from the freshwater wells used by Spanish ships that stopped here centuries ago. Over time, the island evolved into a close-knit fishing community, renowned for its expertise in lobster fishing — a trade that continues to sustain the local economy today. This blend of history, tradition, and self-sufficiency gives Spanish Wells its distinctive, timeless appeal.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Island Vibe By The Sea is the fourth turn to the right, over the bridge from Spanish Wells and situated on Russell Island.
This spacious, quiet location is on a cul-de-sac with very little traffic and has lovely neighbors. You are woken by rustling palm trees, crowing roosters and at sunset, soothed by a myriad of bird and ocean sounds.
The beach is close by – just a short walk to the next block and you are on the gorgeous soft sand and a few feet away from the azure waters.
