Om overnatningsstedet

Chatterbox. An Island Home in the Heart of Harbour Island.

Chatterbox is located in the heart of Dunmore Town. Built in the late 1800's by the island's first contractor, it was fully renovated in 2012, making it a historic house with modern amenities. It is a three bedroom (two bedrooms with queen size beds, one bedroom with two double beds), two bath home with wood floors, comfortable furniture, a cook's kitchen and lots of charm. A second floor patio and widow's walk offer stunning sunset views. A covered terrace on the first floor for entertaining or just relaxing as well as a porch swing on the front patio to enjoy the island breeze.

Literally steps away from the grocery store, bakery and deli, nothing is out of reach. The pink sand beach is a short walk away and golf carts are available for hire for exploring the island. Bone fishing, deep sea fishing, SCUBA diving and snorkeling are all easily accessible services!

Guests can enjoy the home’s many amenities including luxury bedding and linens, Wi-fi, cable tv, and safe. The home is equipped with a generator. There is a state of the art home theater system with professional sound bar.

Just spent an amazing week at Chatterbox with our family of four. The house is darling and was the perfect size for us. We loved to watch to comings and goings of Pigly Wigly from the front porch and the walkability to the bay. The house is situated in the heart of everything. The trip to the beach is walkable but quick in a golf cart. Two days were very windy at the beach so we grabbed some sandwiches from across the street at Dunmore Deli and hung out on the balcony and widow’s walk. Great view from up there! Thank you to our hosts Nalini and Kim!

First visit to Harbour Island

The ultimate beach house! Beautifully decorated, yet comfortable (think sandy feet). Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children, and conveniently located right next to the grocery store, liquor store, a restaurant, and golf cart rentals. Our family fell in love with the island on this trip and cannot wait to visit again! Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Great Location

For those looking to be just steps from stores and a short walk to the best bar and restaurant on the island, this house is a great choice! We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the upper deck - and there was enough room for us all to spread out. Pink Sands is a very short ride away. The property manager was very helpful and responsive and we really appreciated her!

We arrived at the property and at first everything seemed fine. Unfortunately, we quickly noticed several important issues.First, the cleanliness was not acceptable. There were insects in the drawers when we opened them and also insects in the sink. The drawers were completely messy and disorganized. The oven was extremely dirty, with fries and leftover food from previous guests still inside. The refrigerator was also dirty.There was also rust on the shower poles. We have stayed in many rent villa over the years, but this was by far the dirtiest and most disorganized one we have experienced.In addition, when we arrived the water was barely working. I asked the person in charge about it and was told that it was normal. About 15 minutes later, there was no water at all. This situation lasted for more than 24 hours.We had no access to water for the toilets, showers, or even to wash our hands. Under these conditions it was impossible for us to stay, and we had to move out.

We loved the location - directly across the street from the grocery store, an easy golf cart ride to the beach, and a block away from Daddy D's :)

Such a cute house!

My family and I absolutely loved this property! The house is clean and well-kept, and the property owners and property managers have thought of everything. The house included everything we needed for the beach (e.g., beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, sunscreen, beach bags, beach hats). It also has surround sound (even in the outdoor areas). Daily housekeeping and super accessible property managers made this the perfect stay.

Exceptionally charming and elegant home

It was a pleasure to stay in this exceptionally charming and elegant home to celebrate and create special memories. We loved having drinks and snacks on the stunning balconies and large widow’s walk with spectacular views. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern and professional appliances. Extremely friendly daily room service and the on call local staff does all laundry, shopping and anything we needed nearly instantly. Steps away from shopping, cafés and restaurants. We had an absolutely fantastic time and are definitely coming back.

Heaven on Briland

We just returned from our week on Harbour Island and Chatterbox was the perfect place for our family vacation! The decor is perfect and the location was ideal for our family - in the center of everything, yet a 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach. We have three young children and the ability to walk across the street to the Pigly Wigly to pick up whatever we needed or down the street for a bottle of wine was wonderful. This is definitely a destination for people who like to be "in the mix," not secluded (always our preference when we stay anywhere). We are already planning our next trip. Thank you for having us!

Could use a good cleaning

I rented Chatterbox because of the on line photos. While Trish Becker did a wonderful job with remodel and decor, the property is in need of TLC both inside and out. This property is under new ownership and could possibly have something to do with up keep. Daily house keeping is included and only came one time the entire week. If I return to Harbour Island there are other properties I would consider.

Hi Shannon, We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. I've confirmed with the staff that they cleaned every day that was not a holiday or Sunday. As noted in the property information on VRBO and in the pre-arrival message, housekeeping is provided everyday except for Sundays and holidays. Friday 3rd June and Monday 6th June were Bahamian national holidays, this is why they did not come on these days. The information about holidays is shared both in the property description as well as the information provided for guests prior to arrival. We are also sorry that it was raining for much of your trip, though of course, the weather is out of our control. As you would know, there were some storms in the area - the reminants of Tropical Cyclone Agatha which then became Alex and although we weren't directly impacted, it did cause some weather disburstances in the area. The home has been under new management for over a year and all of the 5 stars reviews we've had prior to yours was under this current managerment. We hope that you were able to enjoy some of your time on Harbour Island despite this. Thank you.

Disappointment is an understatement!

Everything from deferred maintenance (too much to mention) to dirty areas (front patio, floor & floor coverings, upholstery, linens, etc) and devoid of basic necessities (flashlights, candles, dinner knives, napkins, proper cooking utensils, full sets of pots & pans, etc.) this property needs serious improvement! While the property has old world cottage charm, this feature alone does not make up for the overall deficiencies and lack of owner accountability. Chattterbox was a huge disappointment to say the least!

Hello Melinda, We hope you are well. We are disappointed that you did not share your concerns with us during your stay so that we could have addressed any concerns you had. The last message that we received from you was that everything was lovely. We've just done a review of the inventory amenities in the kitchen which include cutlery (large and small spoons, knives, forks, block set of cutting knives and steak knives), cooking utensils (i.e. spatulas, serving spoons, soup serving spoon, potato masher, can opener, serving forks, grater, fork tongs etc.), several cutting boards, baking dishes, colanders, several pots and pans of varying sizes, muffin/cupcake tins, cookie sheet, dinner plates and salad plates, saucers, bowls, mugs, as well as small appliances including but not limited to multiple coffee makers (breville and nespresso), toaster, kettle, toaster oven, and blender. We had also sent you photographs of all these items listed above asking you to confirm that they were indeed in the home at the time of your stay but have not received a response. Candles are not kept in the home due to fire hazard but there should have been flashlights and we have since purchased back up flashlights. We also recently purchased new linens and bedding for the home (which we do periodically to account for damage and loss). We have asked that you provide further details on what items were not to your standards but have not yet received a response. The outdoor areas are cleaned periodically. We understand that it did rain a few times during your 3 day stay and apologise if the outside did not stay clean enough during these periods of rain when the water would have stirred up some dirt and mud. Thank you for staying with us.

probably very cute once

We rented this vintage cottage going by the photos, description and previous reviews. I'm sure the cottage was really cute when it was first renovated but it needs a LOT of TLC. Linens were dingy upholstery was stained and there was an overall grime and smell to the place. We had a tremendous roof and window leak during one of the rain showers. We checked out a day early and contacted the house manager and owner who assured me they would remedy the situation immediately and I trust they have. I would get assurance that these things have been taken care of before renting this house. The location is directly in front of the Pigly Wiggly which can be busy during the day so if you are looking for a quiet location this is not the spot.

House in Disrepair - Worn and Dirty

In 2021, my family had an incredible stay at this property. The house was incredibly well kept. When we returned in June 2023, we were disappointed to find that the house was under new ownership and had not been maintained. The house was covered in mildew, and all of the furniture was stained (even the bedding). There was a crib and trash from the previous renters on the front porch, not to mention a broken fridge in the backyard. We were told the upstairs porch could not be used due to ants. The wifi nor music system was working. There were no complete sets of drinkware (e.g., coffee mugs, wine glasses). Some of the outside furniture was broken. Our visit came to an end after just 24 hours. During our first night in the house, there was a storm. There were leaks everywhere - both bedrooms upstairs, the hallway upstairs, and the living room downstairs. And there was mold / mildew and separating wood that suggested these were not new leaks. We used nearly every clean towel and beach towel in the house to mop up water. The worst was the upstairs bedroom with double beds. The water was rushing through the windows displaying two of our family that night. We reported this incident and checked out the next day. Lastly, the host was totally unresponsive. I initiated contact the day prior to our check-in. The day of our check-in, I messaged her two or three times and did not get a response. During the storm, I called and messaged - no answer. Even VRBO could not get in contact.

Hello Gamble, we hope you are well. To briefly address your review in an objective manner: 1) We are the same managers and owners as in 2021. I remember your stay with us and how much you enjoyed the surround sound system. 2) As noted, there was a severe storm that night. The storm warning was issued at 7:15 p.m. , a few hours after your check in. The high winds and rain, we disovered the next morning, damaged a few shingles. They were repaired that same day, however you'd already left that morning. 3) The had been severe rains the day leading up to your stay, as the home is predominantly wooden on the patio, midlew builds up quickly in about 24 hours. We have it cleaned weekly - by the next day, it was cleaned. 3) The storm had everyone bogged down, no one could leave their homes and the housekeeper damaged her hand. Cell phone reception was patchy. Your message regarding the leak was sent at 8:40 p.m. in the midst of the storm, no one could physically get to the home and no workers could be reach. Only one room was affected, the other two bedrooms were fine. By 10 am the next morning, repairs were underway. Two seperate guests have stayed since without issue. 4) The housekeeprs comments about the ants was only out of care. She's a grandmother and only wanted to help. She was merely suggesting that you be careful, rather then telling you not to go on the baclony. Guests are welcome to use all of the outdoor spaces as they wish. 5) We offered our other home, Jewelbox, which was available as an alternative but you did not respond.
