About this property

Paradiso Oasis - Beautiful Beachfront Oasis on Secluded Island in the Bahamas!

Welcome to the out islands of the Bahamas. Nestled between the palms on a 2 mile strech of dusted white and pink sand beach. Paradiso Oasis is a getaway unlike any other. Water sports haven, fishing above and below the warm waves, and local flair to boot. Just around the corner lies adventure or a empty beach, what are you waiting for?

Paradiso Oasis is conveniently located on a secluded street, surrounded by palm trees and sea lettuce. This paradise can sleep up to 14 guests, with three main bedrooms on the first and second floors, and an open third floor sleeping 8 with single beds and a couple of sofas. Each room has personal A/C units. The three main bedrooms have full baths, with two half baths on the first and third floors. Paradiso is the only three story house on Spanish Wells, with wrap-around porches on all three levels. The house has a full state-of-the-art kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a laundry room, an outdoor shower, and a flat-screen TV perfect for family movie nights. There is wifi, as well as a magic jack phone and a local phone, located in the office on the second floor. Electricity is metered upon arrival and departure; usage that exceeds $100 (metered) is deducted from deposit.

Paradiso Oasis is nestled on the beach, the perfect place to spend a day wading in the crystal clear blue waters and pink sands. There are paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes available. Because the island is 2 miles long and a quarter-mile wide, golf carts are the main means of transportation on the island. They can be rented from Harbourside rentals and Sacha Hadland, caretaker will meet you and show you where that is and accompany your party to the house. Snorkel gear can be purchased on the island, but bringing your own is encouraged. Arrangements can be made for deep sea fishing trips and excursions to nearby islands. Car rental is available on the main island, for exploring the other settlements and the blue hole swimming area. Tippys restaurant by Governors Harbor is a lovely place for lunch.

North Eleuthera is an archipelago unlike any in the Bahamas, situated on the Dutch Bar, deep sea fishing is world famous! Find untouched beaches on uninhabited islands that fulfill your shelling and sun bathing needs. Or take the fast ferry 25 mins to Harbour Island and discover the candy colored colonial homes and famed pink sand beaches.

The best beach and location!

The house is in an amazing location! Spanish Wells is the best beach ever. The house was great! We had a very laid-back, fun vacation. Check-in was easy. I loved having all the beach gear and the bikes. The kitchen was stocked ok. We cooked a lot while there. Communication with Sacha was very limited and I was a little disappointed. We had a golf cart issue and didn't know until the end. We had to deal with it ourselves and it wasn't our fault. All fine in the end, but we cut it close to missing our ferry out due to this. Having the water was amazing but we ran out by the 5th day of all inside and extras, and it wasn't refilled. It was great to have so many beds but I would love them more comfy. Having air conditioning was great, but half of the units didn't work. The washer and dryer didn't work great. If you hang clothes to dry, be prepared to get prickly things in your shoes and your clothes if they hit the ground. Even with some issues, we did have an amazing trip! I would visit again.

Another excellent stay

This was a 2nd stay for me at the Paradiso. I enjoy everything about this house; very clean and the most accommodations. Things like bottled water… it is provided and connected to the ice maker. Hand soap, shower supplies, and tissues. The beach is fabulous and the back porch is nice. Sacha is responsive to any needs. I highly recommend this house if you need this much space. The island is so laid back and friendly.

Paradiso Oasis is a dream!

This house and its location are amazing! The house was as listed, with a great beach backyard, and steps away from the beach itself. It was almost like we had a private beach because there was barely anyone there! The house is well stocked inside and out, with lots of options for things like beach chairs, paddle boards etc. The views from the verandas are great and everyone was jealous of our stay here. Lots of windows so we never needed the air conditioning. Chairs on every veranda. Very peaceful for the most part. The water is calm, with great sandbars. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot! Spanish Wells is great and our property manager, Sacha, was very responsive. She arranged a buggy for us, met us at the dock, recommended restaurants and such. I’d say we snagged the best spot on Spanish Wells! We would definitely recommend.

Wonderful, wonderful Spanish Wells

Paradiso is located in the prime beach area in SW. The house was large enough for our family of six adults and three children from living space to bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own bath which is a plus….as well as two smaller baths. Everything you need for the beach is available from beach chairs, loungers, paddle boards and kayaks. The property manager was always gracious and helpful with any needs we had….Sacha is terrific! We are already planning our visit for next year…..just a warm welcoming island with friendly folks and a tremendous feeling of safety!

Perfect house right on the beach!!! We have been to a lot of islands and this is definitely one that we will be returning to. The house was a perfect place to stay with our group of friends. We had 8 people and the setup was perfect. Tons of space and it had everything we needed. Location was perfect as well. We are looking forward to returning with our family.

Laid back and relaxing

Fantastic stay at this property! Sacha, the property manager, communicated through he process and responded to questions I had the whole time. Met us at the dock coming off the water taxi and was in contact with me the whole trip. The house is great and beautiful views all week. Short walk to the beach(30 yards) and not crowded ever. Kitchen is well appointed(only complaint is change the knife set out!), and we cooked every night. I would(and will) come back to this house again in the future. One of the best trips you could ever take!!

Wonderful Family Vacation on Island Time

This home was beyond perfect for our three families to share for a week. Three master suites for the couples and a huge loft with a bathroom for our adult children. As soon as we arrived, it was evident that we made the perfect choice for our stay on Spanish Wells. The views from the porch and the two upper decks were breathtaking. Our deepest heartfelt thank you to Sacha for her patience with our group during the planning stages. She answered our countless questions and offered suggestions for months prior to our arrival. She was a phone call away during our stay and took care of everything we needed. Her genuine willingness to help us in any way, was much appreciated. Her goal is to make sure guests fall in love with Spanish Wells and want to return-and we definitely did. We will be back!!

Paradise in Paradise!

We’ve been coming to Spanish Wells and staying here for 5 years, and we couldn’t recommend it more! It has truly become our vacation home, having everything we could need or want. The property manager always makes sure the home is perfect for our stay. With the most fabulous view of the ocean, and being just a few feet from it, there is no other place I’d rather stay! Thank you for the wonderful memories we’ve made staying there!

A fantastic vacation

There were eight of us , including a 7 month old, on this family vacation and this house was perfect! Sacha is an outstanding manager. She met us at the dock and we got into our golf cart and followed her to the house. The house is just gorgeous. It sits on a shallow cove of warm Bahamian blue water. Each couple in the family had their own room with a bath. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is a water dispenser for chilled and hot water and Sacha kept us supplied with water. Days were spent at the beach. Spanish Wells can have a wonderful tradewind that keeps it cool and comfortable. We never needed the air conditioning. One of our favorite places to go at night was the deck around the third floor where we could stargaze. Dinners were fish that we bought on the island and cooked ( delicious grouper), gathering at Budda’s , or putting together a meal with the food that we had brought in a cooler. The grocery store is extremely well stocked and we made frequent trips for Johnny Cakes. This house was perfect in every way and we would return over and over again. This was my fourth visit to Spanish Wells ( first time with this large a group). This is definitely the nicest home we have rented. Thank you Sacha for making this a special stay at Paradiso Oasis!

Hit the jackpot

I accidentally found this rental, while searching for 3 houses for 3 families. We realized we could all stay here comfortably, so we decided to go for it. Wow…just wow. First of all, the location could not be better. It was perfect. We could watch our kids swim 100 yards out (still in knee deep water), while drinking coffee on the back porch. The house came with everything we needed. They had beach towels, sunscreen, toys, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and more. They even had a fire pit for s’mores. There were 12 of us (6 kids). The 3rd floor is perfect for kids. It has 9 twin beds on the top floor. And Sacha (the manager) was wonderful. She lined up our taxi, answered my multiple questions and even met us at the dock to help us transport our luggage. Sacha also does photography, so we were able to hire her for a family photo shoot during our trip. I can’t say enough good things about our experience, and we can’t wait to return.

A fantastic choice

We’ve rented several vacation homes in SW. This one has it all. Beautiful beach view and great access to beach. Spacious and comfortable house. Very well appointed. Little things, like boxes of kleenex and water provided. Bog things, like the icemaker and dishwasher. Nice gas grill. Things were all in working order. Ceiling fans in every room, including bathrooms. Large clean showers. Extra pillows and blankets. Soap and shampoo. So thoughtfully done. Sasha was a fantastic caretaker. Thanks so much.

Incredible Vacation!

I can't say enough about Paradise Oasis. Beginning with booking the property, to the communication with the property manager (Sacha) leading up to arriving, and finally enjoying our vacation, the experience was fantastic. Sacha was in communication leading up to our arrival, offering helpful information as well as the ability to coordinate excursions. She met us at the dock when we arrived, and we were able to follow her to the house in our rented golf carts. Sacha took time to go through information about the house, and was only a phone call away the entire time. She also checked in on us, and we were able to meet her lovely daughters! The home is fantastic and has amazing views. After walking the beach each morning, we believe it is situated on the best part of the island. There are numerous windows and doors in the home which offer fantastic breezes. We had two other couples with us which was perfect as each bedroom has it's own private bathroom. The beds are incredibly comfortable and even the towels are higher end. One of the couples are both chefs, and they were surprised at how well equipped the kitchen is. It had everything needed and more. There is also a Weber gas grill on the porch that was fantastic to cook burgers and steak. We did not use the third floor which has an additional bathroom and nine twin beds, but this would be perfect for families with children to stay together on vacation. One suggestion would be to add a queen bed to this space. For an adults only vacation, we could have brought another couple to enjoy the week with us!! We will definitely be back, and are so appreciative of Sacha!

Great House for a Group

The house worked out very well for our family. It was nice to have separate bathrooms and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The included kayaks, bikes and the hammock got a lot of use. Sacha was a great host and very helpful when we missed our connecting flight due to the FAA shutdown. We had a problem with the washing machine while there and she had someone there within 10 minutes of calling her and had the washing machine replaced with a new one the next day. We would recommend this home to anyone with a group of people. We plan on coming back and staying here again when we bring family.

This was our second year visiting this property so obviously we love it. The house is spacious with room for our whole family. It has all the modern conveniences we needed. The location is perfect, on the beach, by the sandbars where we explored seeing turtles, stingrays, starfish, conches, fish and more! We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Sacha Hadland-Knowles

This beautiful Villa was finished in October 2015. My family came to visit in the year 1990 and ended up staying on boats in the Harbour and cruising all the islands. My mother in law Granny Goose sailed single handed until she was in her mid 80's. When she slowed down other family members started buying homes on this very special island. I arrived in 2000 and bought a small home at the beginning of the island in the Shipyard area. It is over a 100 years old and I lived there for many years watching the boats move in and out. A few years later my husband and I bought a larger home at the west end of the island. We just love the peacefulness and serenity of this family island with the healing waters so clear and inviting to swim every day and eat some wonderful fresh fish. Fish can be purchased from Ronald's Seafood near the Service Center or from Bernard at his dock near the bridge crossing to Russell Island. As long as you don't eat too many fried conch fritters this is as healthy a living as it gets. Paradise !!!

Why they chose this property

I loved the location of this property because of its quietness and seclusion. Located at the end of the street and near the church it couldn't be more private. It is within walking distance to the grocery store and gym, the bank and doctors offices. Doctors come once a week from Nassau, however there is a clinic with an experienced nurse and doctor practitioner across the street. There is a basketball court on the church grounds where pickup games are available, and a tennis court on adjourning Russell Island.
