Located on a hidden jewel of a Bahamas island, and overlooking a beach often referred to as one of the world’s finest, Harbour Island Estate 21009 is an extraordinarily fine rental property for families or groups of up to 26.
Made up of a Main Villa, a Guest Cottage, a private Beach Cottage, and a Beach Tent Villa.

The Main Villa is a sprawling, five-bedroom masterpiece. Outside living, on wide verandahs both upstairs and downstairs, is the choice for most guests. And several features of the house make it perfect for families with children.
There is a large recreation and billiards room with pool table and every type of board game. and just next to this room is the two-bedroom children’s wing, each with two full-length twin beds, and equipped with drum set and guitar.
Verandahs, on both floors, run the entire length of the house and are furnished with comfortable, casual lounge furniture in several conversational groupings. At one end of the upstairs verandah, with views of the ocean, is a large dining table where most meals will be taken.
Four-poster beds are found in the Grand Master Bedroom Suite and the two other Master Bedrooms. For those who want the option of their own entertainment center, each of these three rooms has a state-of-the-art system on which any of the 3,000 movies in the property’s collection can be watched.

The tents have wide decks facing the water and are open-air. You are definitely one with nature at Bayside. But being in these tents is by no means roughing it; this is casual LUXURY.
A short footpath leads from the Beach Cottage to Pink Sand Beach. More often than not, guests here will be the only beachcombers.

Bahamas breezes, views and mild temperatures make it perfect for outside dining. Whether at the Beach Tent Villa, at the Beach Cottage or at the Main Villa, guests seem to prefer to eat most meals in the open air. All meals and beverages are included as part of the rental package.

Harbour Island is an environment and way of life that is truly other worldly. Only five miles long and less than one mile wide, there are no traffic lights and virtually no cars. The preferred mode of transportation, on its narrow roads and friendly unpaved paths, is the golf cart.
The charming streets of Dunmore Town feel like colonial New England, and there’s rich history to see in the island’s old churches and centuries-old homes. A tiny hideaway with centuries of colonial history, as colorful as the cottages that surround its charming harbor.
The island is a quirky, off-the-beaten path little hideaway. It became known to an interestingly international set just a few years ago and now enjoys the kind of cachet that can come only from quiet word-of-mouth recommendation.
Along the bay side of this tiny island are cute shops, cozy restaurants and colorful shacks. The highlight of the bay side of the island is its only town, Dunmore, less than 10 minutes by golf cart from the ocean side. Fishing and sailboats dock here alongside the water taxis that shuttle locals and visitors to and from Eleuthera.
The estate is situated on Pink Sand Beach, which runs the entire length of the island and is virtually a football-field wide. Often, on a long morning walk, one will have this magnificent stretch of beach all to oneself.
About 225 miles southeast of Miami, Harbour Island is just two miles east of the island of Eleuthera, into which there are daily flights from Ft. Lauderdale as well as Miami.
Flights can also be booked to Nassau, with a connection to (North) Eleuthera.
This hideway island is less than five miles long and one-half mile wide.
