Gumelemi Bluff, Harbour Island Bahamas

We couldn't have had a more perfect mix of beauty, privacy and access. The owners were very thoughtful concerning travelers needs and were available to answer any questions concerning the use of the house and navigating the island. It was so special to have the housekeeper who was wonderful and took care of any of our needs. The spacious comfort and nice accommodations of this home were a real luxury. Having the fun activities available - bocce, ping pong, a pool, relaxing poolside loungers, kayaks and paddle boards were a real bonus! All four couples were so greatful to have had such a wonderful place to stay and want to definitely return to Gumelemi Bluff!

I would not hesitate a second to book this house again. The house is extremely well thought out...there are four generous sized bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) - making it feel more like a mini bed and breakfast than a house. The House is equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay- Kayaks, hammock, pool table, bocce court, indoor/outdoor sound system, and a BBQ. The pool overlooks the bay with the most beautiful sunset on the island. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the expansive patio that (again) overlooks the gorgeous bay and sunsets. We spent many nights laughing and talking on the outdoor patio furniture. We loved the location of the home...located in the "narrows" and only a short golf cart ride to Dunmore town dining...But still tucked away enough to have privacy. We had four couples in our party...but the house is also perfect for families. We would love to bring our kids back - as there are loads of "fun toys" for them to keep busy all day.

Harbor Island is incomparable with regards to the perfect island getaway. Tranquil turquoise waters surround this laid back paradise of pastel colored houses, friendly locals, wonderful dining spots, and most of all, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This 3 mile stretch of soft pink sand, with its gentle surf and warm trade winds, will beckon you to just come and relax the day away, and when done, you get to go back to Gulememi Bluff!

The Bluff is welcoming, is tastefully decorated, with 4 beautiful bedroom suites, a large indoor kitchen and living room area, but even better is the outdoor area. The pool deck is huge, with lots of relaxing lounge chairs that flows easily from one area to the next, with an amazing westerly water view where we watched the most amazing sunsets with our friends. Add the bbq for the locally caught lobster and bacci ball court, or take out the kayaks for a run on the crystal clear waters.

The location of the house is really convenient but "tucked away" enough to make it very private. The home owners and housekeeper were so helpful with anything regarding the house or local information and hot spots.

We cant wait to come again.

We loved the house and the island. Working with the owner was a dream and we felt like we were visiting friends instead of renting a house. The house is truly well located, beautifully furnished and very easy to share for a few couples or for a family. All of the key items you might want on vacation are right there for you to use - and the housekeeper is very helpful with any questions!

I have been to Harbor Island over ten times in the last 15 years. For major life events- birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, family holidays and romantic getaways Gumelemi Bluff has been where I want to spend time with loved ones. It is a treasure and a place I cherish. A beautiful home, decorated with ever DETAIL in mind for guests and luxury. The view over the ocean is dream like. The pool is perfect for kids or a private swim. The home has a bocci court which is a fan favorite for friends after cocktails or a good home cooked meal. Location of the house is tucked away as though you have the island to yourself but also is right next to the beach and all of the best restaurants. The home owners were gracious and had everything we needed, with all information about the island provided. My husband and I put aside money every holiday for our "Harbor Island" fund- always wanting to get back to that island for a Rum Punch and Lobster Quesadilla at Sip Sip! Can't wait to go back!
