Bahamas Historic House on Murray Street at the Dunmore Town Waterfront on Harbour Island, Eleuthera   (3)

Our group of four adults and two tweens were a perfect fit for this lovely home. The bay side location is a block from the water taxis and all the restaurants and shops in Dunmore Town. While folks have their preferences for one side or the other, I like the bay side as it is less blustery at night on the verandas etc. We used golf carts to zip around (mostly to the grocery and out at evenings to resorts and restaurants and the ocean side) but much of the island is walkable. Each morning we walked to the opposite side of the island (5 minutes--a minute by golf cart) and did 4 mile beach walks -- heaven! We runned speed boats most days too. So much to do and the water is always beckoning. Andrew's home offers many areas for enjoyment indoor and out. Nice views, comfortable nooks, private and lush. The kids were in the pool everyday. The adults enjoyed cocktails on the mid-level and topside perches. Nice breezes made for perfect nights. We cooked in for breakfast and several dinners which is a money saver as the restaurants are pricey. The kitchen has much of what you need--not gourmet but better than most rentals for sure and a water cooler. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedroom AC units made for a good night's rest. Daily light cleaning service and on-island house manager were appreciated. Truly a great experience and beautiful home and a big contributor to how much we loved Harbour Island. We will rent this same place when we return (which I hope is soon!)

We have visited Harbour Island for many years and have stayed on boats, in houses, and at resorts.... The house trumps them all. The grocery selection on the island is vastly improved and the amenities at the house are outstanding - no reason to go out to dinner every night like you must when staying at a resort. And at Harbour island prices, that will save you a lot. We enjoyed the state of the art washer and dryer (it allowed us to pack half as many clothes - no overweight bags!). It's not necessary to stay on the water on this island. Half the fun is renting a golf cart for your stay and riding (or walking) to the beach and cruising around the island searching for its hidden gems. Harbour Island needs to be experienced - it's not the kind of place where you park yourself at a resort and never leave the property. We also rented a boat a few times from Duke at the Government dock (about 100 paces from the house) and ran to Man Island for lunch and hit all the snorkeling spots around the island - Duke will tell you where to go. The pool was nice too - that is a must if renting a house on this island. I give this House my highest recommendation. Andy Gulf Breeze, Florida

My wife and I spent a gorgeous week in Harbour Island at this delightful property, it has been restored elegantly with modern touch to it. The pool in the back is perfect for cooling down after a long walk along the pink sand beach. The bedrooms are all spacious and the fact two have baths is a major plus point. The open plan living area on the 2nd floor provides amazing views across the bay to Eleuthera. Open air dining on the veranda is also an amazing experience. All in all a perfect and amazing house.
