We wish we had more time! We thought 10 days would be enough but we had many days when we just wanted to enjoy the house and its beach. The island has so much more to explore!
Our family of 5 (parents plus 22 yr old, 19 yr old and 15 yr old kids) had an incredible time. Point O'Vue has everything you need and more! The house itself, the beach, the games, the kitchen, the large bedrooms, all gave us time to just be together and enjoy each others' company. The few power outages and wifi interruptions gave us time to play many games. Loved having the kayaks and SUPs. Definitely check out the entire bay and past the point on the south either by walking or on the water. First few days not a soul was seen on any part of the bay, then towards our last few days we met some other families renting neighboring houses. All were repeat vacationers to Winding Bay! Tessa was an incredible part of our stay as she came frequently to clean and we enjoyed having her presence around us. She was available to answer any questions and make suggestions for anything you'd need if she can't provide it. She put me in touch with Davette, a local Tarpum Bay baker, who made us the most delicious pineapple upside down cake. Mel's Snack Shack in James Cistern sold us their last coconut cream pie at the end of the day
We went out to dinner half the time, loved Tippy's ambience and food, Frigates was cool (good food!) with that outdoor space but when we were there on a random weekday night after a day of rain only two other indoor tables were taken. Fishbone in Savannah Sound was a funky place to eat. Friday Night Fish Fry by Cupid Cay was a great experience. We arrived around 6pm, swam in the water there while food was being cooked and grabbed a picnic table. The crowd kept growing so we were glad we had gotten a table across the street right away. Every night and everywhere we went there were flies swarming the food so either eat inside in June or deal with it. We drove to Queen's Bath (definitely go and wear sturdy water shoes) and Glass Window Bridge (climbed to the top of the cliff but stayed away from the edge!), stopping at Daddy Joe's for lunch. Across the street is Gaulding Cay Beach which was beautiful and like most beaches, empty. Definitely visit the Island Made Gift Shop for souvenirs. We picked up produce at Island Farms which had a small but adequate selection of everything you'd need to make a good meal. Halls market in Rock Sound is the place to shop! It was Sunday and we knew we had to get to a market early before they closed. Halls is advertised as being open on Sundays till 10am, but it wasn't. Mr. Hall himself was out back and opened up the store for us, even gave us some homemade pineapple upside down cake and blueberry muffins. If you see him, tell him his Sunday customers from New Jersey send their best. Mr. Henry Allen, proprietor of Kinky's gas station, is a treasure, a trusting, hard-working gentleman. We loved meeting him. Our last dinner was at 1648, at the French Leave Resort, a stunningly beautiful setting. One night we ate at Neeks in Tarpum Bay and were the only people there. Food was good, kids say the best wings they had on the island and a really delicious milkshake. We chartered a boat and left from Gene's Bay Dock up in North Eleuthera. Swimming with and feeding the sea turtles was incredible! We saw a pod of small dolphins up close and they entertained us with their flips and spins. We visited with some incredible, orange starfish! Our captain took us wherever we wanted to go, so we went to a huge sandbar and the swings out in the middle of the Atlantic. The skies opened with rain and a stingray circled us so it was more exciting than expected! Our captain also called ahead and made reservations for us at Sand Bar on Russell Island/Spanish Wells. This was probably my favorite place because we hopped off the boat and through the water to reach it, had really good drinks and food.
