Fish Fever is Fantastic!
Not enough good things to say about the trip and the host! Chrissy had everything set up for us. Getting there was a breeze! Lovely island with the nicest people. The kids loved the golf cart, the beaches, driving around looking at Christmas lights. Would highly recommend!

Very Comfortable and decorated beautifully
Great communication, easy to find, the golf cart was a great to have as part of the rental. Beautiful view and cozy and nicely outfitted-convenient to get to restaurants
The house was beautifully decorated. It was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The washer and dryer was a huge plus. You can walk to the water in the backyard and go paddle boarding or kayaking which was great. The island is small so everything is close by. A golf cart was included which was also perfect. Overall great stay!

Ten days at Fish Fever
We were met at the dock by Christy & Shane. Shane rode with us in our golf cart and gave us a tour of the island, on our way to Fish Fever. They made sure we were settled in and left us alone. During our stay, we had trouble with our golf cart and they took care of it immediately. Fish Fever was everything they advertised. We loved the porch and spent many afternoons painting, taking pictures, and cocktails. Thank you Christy & Shane

Perfect!
My husband and I absolutely love Fish Fever. The cottage has everything you need and furnishings are top drawer. Shane and Christy have done a marvelous job designing the cottages and using creative landscaping around each one creating a little tropical paradise. You couldn’t ask for nicer hosts as they were gracious in greeting us and answering all our questions. We will definitely be back.

Will be back….
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property and will be back again at some point. It was a relatively quiet time of year and not a very touristy area, which was exactly what we were looking for on this vacation. Enjoyed getting around the island on the golf cart provided, which allowed for access to several great restaurants and the stores on the islands. The hosts were very responsive from the start and graciously set up transportation to/from the airport as well as met us at the ferry to show us to the house when we arrived. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Bahamian Haven
What an amazing stay! We have been coming to the Bahamas for years and this was our first big trip as a family of four. Christy the host was very accommodating. The house had beautiful ocean views while not an actual beach it is ocean front and they have a sand area with cabana and beach chairs, we loved taking the boys out on the kayaks (they provide) in the morning and saw lots of starfish, fish and some turtles! Our four year old was even able to join in on some snorkeling with the calm ocean! Absolute heaven! My only complaint which is not a deal breaker is there wasn't a lot of storage space and being there over a week, it would have been nice to have. We can't wait for our next adventure at Fish Fever

Pictures are spot on and is a really nice place to stay
We went to relax and get in the boat and snorkel & fish. First of all Christy and Shane met us at the ferry dock and took us to the house as it went really smooth. Spanish Wells & Russell Island are laid back low key islands. If you want low key & no frills this is for you. We loved the Island as soon as we got there. The house has everything you need and is decorated for the islands perfectly. The beach is really nice and has anything you need. April is a great time to come as it is not too hot and before the no see-ums come out in force. Fishing Fever met our needs and work out for us really well. After trying all the restaurants, Wreckers was by far the best. Snapper, Wahoo & of course lobster. There chef is the best as far as cooking the fish right. We will be back to SW/RI in the future as it was truly a great vacation.

Spanish Wells/Russel Island Adventures/Private/Relaxing
Our family generally takes adventure vacations mixed with traveling a little off the beaten path. Although there were plenty of friendly locals with whom to interact, we also experienced a private backyard paradise complete with paddle boards, kayaks, and great snorkeling. Please bring water shoes for the non-sand beach areas as the coral can be sharp. If you prefer sandy-bottom beaches, there is plenty of access to beaches where walking out in white sand in knee-high waters for 600 meters is standard. Besides offering transportation with use of the owner’s golf cart, there are many water charters available with a day or two scheduling advance. The house was clean and very comfortable, and Christy and Shane were very accommodating. Taxis to the Spanish Wells port from the N. Eleuthera airport are plentiful. Even though we usually don’t make repeat trips, we may have to break our “rule” for this one, but will definitely encourage our friends to try it out. In fact, there are three cottages on the property that would make a great 3 or 2 family vacation very comfortable.

Unforgettable - In the best way!
Our trip to Spanish Wells was truly unforgettable. Christy and Shane's charming house has ample space and amenities. A stone's throw away from the beach and incredible views from the deck - perfect for carefree, morning swims! The accessible golf cart provided easy access around the island whenever we wanted to explore. Overall, a win in every category. Christy and Shane were extremely responsive and provided great information and recommendations. The excursion they coordinated with Dwayne/Seagillian Life was one of the best (if not the best) boating trips we have ever taken!
Would not hesitate to recommend this little oasis and cannot wait to be back to Spanish Wells - it is an incredible place with some of the nicest people! When you come, be sure to have bug spray for the pesky mosquitos if sitting on the deck at night! :)
Thank you again, Christy and Shane!

Relaxing stay with a fantastic host
Our family of 4 just got back from Fish Fever for Spring Break and despite a few days of bad weather we had a blast. The location is great for relaxing and enjoying Spanish Wells. Christy was phenomenal as a host and made sure to answer our questions and help out any way she could. She is the reason we would book the place again. She setup taxi cabs from the airport to and from the ferry dock which made the transfer seamless and picked us up from the dock and gave us a tour of the island and pointed out the essential restaurants, stores, and beaches. The location is great and the availability of golf cart and kayaks, paddle boards are a bonus. Sandbar restaurant is right down the street and the rest of Spanish Wells is about a 10-15 ride away. Our kids loved hanging out in the back along the water, we saw turtles, starfish, blowfish, and sting rays. We’ll be planning our next trip soon.

Lovely stay and helpful host in Spanish Wells
Immaculate, cozy cottage that was a great home base for our stay in Spanish Wells. Christy helped us with our luggage upon our arrival and was kind enough to allow us to use the golf cart after check out but before our ferry departure. Cottage is within a 10 min drive on the golf cart to pretty much everything, but it was nice to also paddleboard right from the back yard. Highly recommend the "hidden" beach just down the road.

Perfect!!!⭐️
This was the perfect cottage for our 35th Anniversary! This beautiful house had everything we needed, it was very clean, and steps away from the gorgeous water! Under the beach chairs and umbrella was a perfect place to have morning coffee or for relaxing in the shade. We loved quiet Russell Island and being only a 1/2 mile from the Sandbar Restaurant. Having a golf cart to take us everywhere we wanted to go was a plus!!! We loved Fish Fever and will definitely come back!!!! The host was VERY prompt in answering any questions we had and made sure our stay was incredible!!

Week in Paradise
My family and I just got back from Fishing Fever after spending an incredible week in heaven. The property and house are immaculate and furnished with everything you need. We loved having the golf cart to zip around town and felt safe while doing anything on the island. Christy was attentive to all the stupid questions I had and helped me with planning. If you go:
-Do the Seagillian charter, otherwise you miss out on so much
-If you are an experienced boater, rent a boat for a few days and explore
-If you see their friend Teddy partying at one of the beaches over the weekend, go hang out with him
Overall, amazing week, beautiful beaches, relaxing and we loved the people and culture on the island. We will be back!

Loved being on Russel Island. This specific location has thought of everything. I paddled everyday and saw all sizes starfish and so many fish and turtles. Perfect way to start a morning. Golf carts were well kept which we found out was very important!
Thanks for a great trip.
Everything was excellent. Great property, beautiful views and golf cart included. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while on SW. Owners are great!
