My wife and I stayed in Spanish Wells again this year, (Russel Island, to be exact). We stayed on the North Beach last year., at Amberjack House. Mermaid Cove was an excellent villa to stay at, with your own private beach, porch , gazebo, and hammocks to relax in. Some interesting snorkeling in front of the neighbor's property and we even had a dolphin stop by. We didn't use the kayaks, but there's always next year. We love the fact that everything is a 10 minute golf cart ride away. Candida picked us up and dropped us off at the dock and all in all, I highly recommend Mermaid Cove and Spanish Wells, in general, for a relaxing vacation.
