Harborfront in Dunmore Town: The Doll House, Pool, Sunsets

The Doll House is a two-hundred-year-old Bahamian colonial cottage standing directly on the bay in Dunmore Town, Harbour Island. Pink and white, shuttered, shaded by palms, it is one of the most photographed houses on the island. Four en-suite bedrooms sleep eight (to ten). Behind the house there is a walled private pool, a cabana, a covered breezeway and three patios, and at the front a porch that looks west across the water.

Please note: this property is currently listed for sale. We intend to honour every confirmed booking and are accepting reservations on that basis. If the property is sold and the new owner does not take over your booking, we will cancel and refund everything you have paid, in full. We recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation by the owner.

The house

Four air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The primary bedroom opens toward the pool; there is a second queen bedroom downstairs, and a queen and a 2-twin room upstairs. There are beds for up to ten, but the listing is set at eight overnight guests, so please enquire before booking if your party is larger. Full kitchen with dishwasher, separate dining room, living room, washer and dryer, wifi throughout, and a generator that carries the house through a power cut.

Outside

A private walled pool, a cabana, a built-in gas barbecue, a dining courtyard, a covered breezeway between the buildings, three patios and a tropical garden. The front porch and lawn face west over the harbour, which is where most guests end up at six o'clock.

The island

Dunmore Town starts at the end of the front lawn. Fisherman's Dock is a four-minute walk, and Pink Sands Beach, three miles of pale rose sand on the Atlantic side, is eleven minutes on foot or two by golf cart. Restaurants, the straw market, groceries and the ferry dock are all within a few minutes. North Eleuthera airport is a short ferry crossing plus a twenty-minute drive.

Service

Daily maid service is included, and there is no cleaning fee and no mandatory housekeeping charge. A gratuity of 50 dollars per room per week for the housekeeper is customary and entirely at your discretion. Our house manager Tavar is always nearby on the island to help with anything you need during your stay.

Rates and charges

Rates and charges

The price Vrbo shows you already includes every mandatory fee. There is no
cleaning fee and no housekeeping fee, and we have not added one. Two things
sit outside that price. Bahamian VAT is charged at the prevailing rate in
addition to the rent. And pool heating, if you want it, is 400 dollars per
rental week — the pool is unheated unless you ask for it. Nothing else is
added at any point.
