Swept Away, a stunning 4 bedroom Bahamian beach house located on a hill with panoramic views of Harbour Island and its famous 3-mile pink sand beach. The house was built in the traditional plantation–style with wrap around verandas on two levels.
Enjoy dinner while watching the sunset or escape to one of the many outdoor seating areas with a good book. The upper level boasts a casual yet elegant great room with 17-ft vaulted ceilings and cupola. The living and dining areas are open concept, with five French doors leading to multiple outdoor seating and dining areas with breathtaking views.
The kitchen off the great room has stainless steel appliances and a fully stocked pantry so cooking is a breeze. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the main level, in addition to a media room/library.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a variety of local tropical plants and there is an outdoor shower on the beach path for rinsing off after a day frolicking in the sea, sun and sand.

Dear Tom & Carolyn Thank you for sharing your “slice of heaven” with the Raymond family.

Dear Thomas & Carolyn, Congratulations on creating such a special place! We can’t thank you enough for sharing your beautiful home with us. We were married on Harbour Island in 2004 and came back to celebrate our 5 year anniversary with our friends. We all could not be more pleased with our choice in swept Away. From your layout of the house to the DVD collection & the candles to the pantry list and everything in between you really have thought of it all. We didn’t feel like we were renting a home we felt like we were coming home!!! You are very lucky to have Janeen – she is helpful and made us a delicious meal. We will treasure all of our memories made here. Looking forward to the next time! Thanks again. (Kevin & Angeline & friends, Washington D.C. July 2009)
