Our CONCIERGE is available to help you with just about anything (extra maid or cooking, golf carts, dinner reservations, catering, boat trips, etc.)

Tiled OUTDOOR SHOWER with hot and cold water!

FULL HOUSE GENERATOR - never worry about power outages again!

REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM - provides fresh drinking-quality water to the entire house.

AMAZING HARBOUR VIEWS from 3 of the 5 Bedrooms, living room, kitchen and the upstairs sitting room, bedroom, master balcony and sundecks! No need to climb to a precariously perched sundeck to enjoy the amazing view!

The 5 Bedrooms have beds that can be configured in a number of different ways, and can comfortably SLEEP UP TO 16.

BEACH MEMBERSHIP - Free to Blue Dolphin guests, our membership provides 6 chairs and 3 umbrellas all set up and waiting for you in a manicured and convenient spot right between two of the most popular resorts on the island (additional chairs and umbrellas may be rented for a nominal daily fee).

The Blue Dolphin is CONVENIENTLY LOCATED only steps away from shops, restaurants and a short walk or even shorter golf cart ride (preferred mode of island travel) to the famous three mile PINK SAND BEACH.

Our family had the best time at the Blue Dolphin! The location is unbeatable — beautiful sunsets, plenty of great spots to hang out outside, and six beach chairs with umbrellas set up for you each day right between Coral Sands and Pink Sands. Everyone on the island knows the Blue Dolphin, which made booking charters and activities super easy.The owner and Blaire, the property manager, were both so helpful and quick to respond. Between the prime location, the beautiful outdoor areas, the beach setup, and the great communication, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Family getaway

The views from this house are amazing! Looking out over the water and morning coffee on the 2nd floor balcony was amazing! Blair was very helpful to work with and responded quickly when we had a small issue that was a quick fix. We did not eat at the house much at all but nearby restaurants were top notch. My favorite part about the booking is the reserved beach chairs and umbrellas on the pink sand beach! The backyard was also a peaceful retreat.

Lovely island

We enjoyed our first trip to Harbour Island, and the location of the Blue Dolphin was great! We could easily access all the restaurants, shops and beach. The chairs at TeeJay's were great and we loved eating/drinking there on our beach days. Sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking! The kids also loved playing in the spacious back yard with lovely landscaping.

About the host

Hosted by Professor Jamie & Family

Host profile image
I have been visiting Harbour island since 1961 and my wife, Kathy, and I purchased the Blue Dolphin 30 years later when it was a tiny two-bedroom home surrounded entirely by a 6-foot, cinder block wall. Five major projects later our vision became a true home not only for us, but also for our three grown boys and their families as well as a spectacular vacation destination for a wonderful variety of people, many of whom return year after year.

Why they chose this property

We jumped at the chance to buy the Blue Dolphin; located on historic Bay Street with spectacular west-facing views across the bay; its own dock; part of the local action, walkable to groceries, restaurants, shops, and a sprinkling of drop-by, friendly folks in the midst of the island vibe, and those who know Harbour Island know what I mean.



What makes this property unique

Best sunset views on the island from 4 (count 'em) 4 separate porches!

Able to comfortably handle large families or groups of friends who seek both large common areas for mingling as well as private places to recharge!

One of the most enchanting, spacious tropical gardens on the island, complete with orchids, hibiscus, bougainvillea, ixora, aloe, croton, jasmine, peas and rice, crown of thorns, desert rose, ferns, banana plants, papaya, alamanda vines and shrubs, and every species of palm you can think of ... and this gorgeous display is completely surrounded by a stunning, coral-faced privacy wall. Grill tuna on the rustic barbeque pit nestled in this jungle, catch a few z's in the hammock if you can find it, or tip toe around barefoot in the soft and moist grave yard grass pathways. Be careful to avoid the colorful corals and conch shells nestled among the flora; all together, a uniquely Bahamian feel!

Oh, did I mention the Blue Dolphin has its own dock, or that it has its own reverse osmosis system that produces quality water exceeding what you buy in plastic bottles, or a whole-house generator that protects guests from the inconvenience of island power outages? Few homes can make all of these claims!
