About this property

Harbour Island Private Home Just up from the Beach and next to local Marina

Three Little Birds”. An Exceptional spot just a block off the beach and next to Romora Bay Resort and Marina for dining, dancing, and fabulous sunsets. The 1/2 acre setting is private and secluded yet close to all you need. Three Little Birds consists of the spacious one bedroom main house plus two semi-attached studio suites creating a variety of options for guests. This configuration can work individuals, families and groups of friends or couples each getting their own private spaces. Enjoy the large covered porch with outdoor kitchen, and all the included amenities and extra's that are included. We have beach towels, toys, chairs and umbrella's and snorkel gear, plus paddle ball & tennis racquets here for your use. Or grab one of the complementary bikes, kayaks or paddle boards and head out on a small adventure.

Please note: The house is over 50 years old so expect some wear and tear on the finishes and surfaces. We do our best to keep it clean and in working order, but with the islands limited resources, if something breaks during your stay it may not be immediately repaired. Also, please keep in mind that this is a small tropical island. Power outages happen, city water pressure can be low and the weather may be unpredictable. Being in the tropics there are palmetto bugs (like roaches), tiny lizards, Insects, spiders, pests free roaming roosters, etc. Occasionally these may be seen around the house.

Our Disclaimer:
We aim to manage guest expectations by being transparent—this home may not be for everyone. This is one of the most affordable rental homes on one of the Bahamas most expensive islands. If you're looking for something ritzy or meticulously white-glove polished, this may not be the right fit. Our home has charm and character, but it’s not a luxury hotel—it’s a lived-in, relaxed comfortable space meant to be enjoyed. We kindly ask that you review past guest comments, ask any questions you may have, and thoughtfully consider whether this home is the right fit before booking. While we strive to be transparent, we do not automatically offer refunds to guests who feel the experience didn’t align with their expectations.

This house had everything and then some! Great location and very comfortable for the 3 couples in our party. The outdoor area is a wonderful place to unwind in the evening.

Secluded island cottage

Perfect size for a family or three couples. Property is as described. Kitchen is well appointed. Both housekeeper and gardener were very nice. The grounds are well maintained. Owner very responsive! The boutique across the way has monogrammed straw bags which you will want to do at the beginning of your trip as they can take a few days.

No water and owner cut off communication

We stayed here for 3 nights and had no water to shower with for all of them. I made this known to the property manager who said it was an island issue when in fact our two neighbors who were our friends all had normal water flow. We reached out asking for compensation due to the fact we were not able to shower in our own house and they stopped answering our messages. I do not recommend staying at the Three Little Birds Villa.

The guest initially requested a refund two days before arrival, citing a cancelled flight. When the request was denied, the guest was able to proceed with travel and arrived as scheduled. On the second day of their two-night stay, the guest again demanded a refund, claiming that the water pressure was so low that the bathrooms were not functional. Our caretaker responded promptly, visited the property, and provided video documentation showing that all faucets and bathrooms were working as intended. We once again declined the refund request. Our rental listing clearly states that the property is located on a small island, where occasional power outages and fluctuations in water pressure are to be expected. Despite this, the guest continued to demand a refund for several days after their checkout. This was a short two-night rental, with six guests, at the most affordable property on the island. We do not believe the complaints warrant a refund given the circumstances and documentation provided. We will not rent to this guest again.

Nice with all the toys

This property is great if you want to use the games and stuff. The house has a strange layout, bathrooms clean, kitchen could be cleaner, old home could use updating. TV's don't work, coffee makers dirty and don't work. AC works great and the property manager was communicative. The house is tucked away off the road very hard to find no signs and the road to the house is a dirt road with lots of boulders and dangerous & tricky to use. Other than that it is a great place to hang your hat and access the island.

Thank you Tracy, We do have floor plan drawing included with the listing to review so guests can see the unique layout. We stayed at the home the week after your visit and found all the items were working fine, but agree that the coffee maker on/off switch on the side of the unit is not in an user friendly spot. Kendrick the caretaker is just a phone call away and always available to assist in little things like operating appliances. Unfortunately the road into the home is not our property and we are not permitted to make improvements.

Three Little Birds

Our family of 5 stayed at this home for a week. This home is not on the water but the beautiful beach access is just down the street and easy to get to. The kitchen was stocked well and we did daily breakfast at home. We also used the outdoor grill to cookout one evening as well. There was filtered water in the home which was important so we did not have to buy a bunch of bottled water. The house is not one of the luxury homes on the island but the advertisement does give that disclaimer however we felt it was perfect for us. We left most every day on a boat for excursions or on our golf cart to explore so we were really just there for short periods and to rest our heads. The beds were all very comfortable and we slept very well. When we arrived the air was not on so we were concerned about the temperature but once the air was turned on, the house would get very cool. The electricity on the island goes off frequently and the generator did not work for us, but it did not really bother us, we just were not home enough to be bothered by it. It may have been annoying had we been there during the heat. All in all, we had a wonderful stay here at this home. If you need fancy or need to be on the water this is not the home for you. But for us it was perfect and I would definitely go back and stay at Three Little Birds. I forgot to mention we used the surf boards, ping pong table, boogie boards!

Life is an adventure and coming to Harbour Island is very adventurous! The Bahamas for nearly 5 decades, has been a big part of our lives where we spend a lot of time adventuring. With all the pirate history down there I decided to bring a piece of it to Minnesota in the form of a pirate ship. I have 3 awesome kids. I'm a certified instructor in Outdoor Education and enjoy treasure hunting. I kayaked the Mississippi from the head waters in Minnesota to the Bahamas, sailed boats around the world for Jimmy Buffet, biked from North to South America, and traveled to about 100 countries. Cambodia is a regular destination working with orphanages and exploring. I live on the ship quite often and enjoy sharing it with others. Arrrrrr

Why they chose this property

We have owned homes on all ends of the island over the the years and watched many changes evolve. What we find appealing in this location is the less disturbed with privacy and still very close to the beach, Romora Bay Marina and the new Briland Club Marina for dining, entertainment and fabulous sunsets & cocktails.

What makes this property unique

Why Choose Three Little Birds? The secluded location on the Island is what draws many return visitors back to us. The reclusive tropical setting that’s just up from the beach and pleasantly so far away from your daily grind. Enjoy this island lifestyle where tranquil Tropical Breezes coming up from the Ocean wash away your woes and bring in warmth and welcomed moments and memories. Overall this is a more quiet area on the island and you often have the no crowds on the beach while your are there.
