About this property
Touchstone's Cottage on Beachside - Tropical 1 Acre Property
Touchstone's Cottage lies on a 1-acre tropical and expansive property adjacent to the world-famous Pink Sand Beach. TS's Cottage is east of Romora Bay Marina, tucked in just behind the dune and about 100 steps from the beach. You can hear the ocean from the front patio. Incredible upgrades were recently completed at TS's Cottage, such as expanding and resurfacing the front patio with coral stone tiles, creating designated golf cart parking and a landing, an outdoor shower, and a hand-made native Bahamian stone outdoor grilling area, plus more. As for the interiors, the kitchen has been renovated with a large hardwood island with an under-mount basin sink, creating adequate space perfect for family and friend gatherings and meals, a new fridge and a new electric range have also been installed. The living room has new furniture and furnishings, and both bedrooms and bathrooms have been renovated from top to bottom with fresh paint and furnishings. TS's Cottage shares the lush and vast property with the much-admired Touchstone's House (VRBO listing 948739) - the homes are far enough away for total privacy to rent separately yet close enough together to rent as a duo, perfect for large families or groups of friends. Children and baby supplies can be rented through the housekeeper, please inquire. Daily housekeeping is included. We recommend purchasing travel insurance. Please reach out for any questions you might have. It would be our pleasure to help you plan an unforgettable trip to this amazing island.

Thank you, Karina! The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, clean and so cute! We loved every minute. The housekeeper and gardener were so great to have during our week there. And such a great location -- steps to the beach and a quick cart ride into town and anyplace else! We could not have asked for more. We had a wonderful week and wlll definitely be back!
We absolutely loved our stay at Touchstone Cottage. It was the perfect spot for our family of three and felt comfortable, easy, and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The house has great privacy and a beautiful yard where we spent a lot of time hanging out together. Inside, the kitchen and living room were warm and inviting and very well stocked, which made it easy to cook meals and relax in the evenings after long beach days. Everything felt thoughtfully set up and just right. The beds were very comfortable, and both we and our child slept great the entire stay.Karina and David are wonderful hosts: friendly, responsive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they really want their guests to have a great experience.We’ve been coming to Harbour Island every year and this is the first house we’ve stayed in where everything felt perfect, especially given how close it is to the beach (you can hear the waves from the outdoor shower). We’re already looking forward to coming back and staying at Touchstone Cottage again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful guests. We so look forward to your return next year.
Touchstone Cottage was the perfect place for our family to spend Thanksgiving! The cottage had everything we needed and was just steps from the beach. The owner, Karina, was extremely responsive to texts/questions; and the housekeepers were able to fulfill all requests - from stocking the refrigerator prior to arrival to securing a golf cart for the week. It was the perfect vacation for us and we are planning to rebook for next year!
Just got home from our second time staying at Karina and David’s special property and already cannot wait to book our next stay. It’s such a special place and we truly feel at home - while away from home. Couldn’t be a more beautiful or convenient beach access for our family with three young kids. Plus Neka and Clint coming in every day to help tidy up feels like an extra special treat for the parents. Thank you David and Karina for sharing your special spot with us!
We had a five star stay at Touchstone cottage. The property was perfect for us and the location was wonderful. The staff do an outstanding job and are so hospitable. We will be back for sure!
We had a wonderful stay at Touchstone Cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is beautifully maintained—cozy, clean, and full of charm. It worked out great with our 2 and 4 year olds. The hosts were kind, responsive, and clearly take pride in offering a special experience.
We throughly enjoyed Touchstone Cottage. The location to the beach is perfect as are the grounds. You feel like you’re secluded in a jungle. The cottage is eclectic and beachy. We will be back for sure!!
We had a wonderful stay at the lovely cottage!! Everything was very clean, comfortable & cozy. The proximity to the beach access is very close and leads to a very quiet & serene section of beautiful pink sands beach. Karina was an exceptional host… she went above & beyond to offer many helpful tips & suggestions before & during our stay. We would absolutely recommend the cottage or house to anyone looking to stay on harbour island.
We had the best week at the touchstone cottage. The location is superb, the cottage has everything you need, is beautifully decorated and so clean. Karina was so helpful. This was the best family vacation for our little family of 4! We already miss the touchstone cottage and Harbour Island. We will absolutely be back!!
Perfect Beach Getaway — Cozy, Clean, and Steps from the Ocean!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and so cozy — it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved how close it was to the beach; you could hear the waves at night, and our early morning walks were the perfect way to start the day. The beds were super comfortable, and the beach gear made it easy and fun for the kids. The outdoor shower was a huge plus after sandy beach days. Communication with the owner was excellent — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Thank you for your review Ruthie, so happy to hear you enjoyed the cottage and the island. You all were great guests, we hope we have the pleasure of hosting you again.

Wonderful stay
This cottage was exactly as described and we had a fabulous time during our stay. It is very private and you can't beat the access to the beach. We hope to be back again!

Thank you very much for your lovely review. It was our pleasure hosting you. We hope you return again in the near future!
This was our first time to Harbour Island and Karina helped make the trip a success. The cottage is cozy and the outdoor space quite magical. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor shower, played games on the porch and felt quite at home. The house was welcoming and well appointed. The beach was perfect and so close we found ourselves going multiple times a day. I highly recommend the cottage and would trust the owners with any suggestions or other rentals. Thanks so much for a truly amazing stay.
Karina's home makes our stay every time. It's such a great tropical location right on the beach path. It's the best of both worlds and we will certainly return
Touchstone Cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect location for our stay with our 5, 3 and 1 year old. Karina provides everything you need and gives excellent suggestions for restaurants, things to do, places to shop, etc.
Everything about this island is beautiful, including this adorable cottage and property. This home has everything needed for a beach vacation. Can't wait to come back and stay longer!
We loved our second visit to the oasis of Touchstone Cottage and are looking forward to planning our third. The team is wonderful to work with and makes you feel like family.

Thank you Heather for your lovely review. We love having you and we are so happy to hear you had a great time staying at the cottage along with staying in the house. Please come back and visit us again soon.
We had an amazing week on Harbor Island staying at Touchstone's Cottage. The cottage was so charming and the grounds were beautiful. Karina and David are two of the nicest people and are wonderful hosts. They have really thought of everything to make their guests feel right at home. We're already looking forward to next year!
Loved our stay at the cottage! As other reviewers note, everything is as described and the proximity to the beach is amazing. Many days we were the only ones on the beach!The cottage setup was perfect for our family of four with two kids under five. We rented a crib and high chair from the housekeeper (who was also easy to communicate with.) We cooked a number of meals in the kitchen, and the beach tings shed has all of the sand toys and beach accessories you’ll need. Seriously, don’t pack sand toys, beach towels, umbrella, etc! We enjoyed coconuts from the trees in the yard, and encountered a cute orange cat on the property :)Karina, the owner, provided many details and recommendations after booking - taxi, restaurant, boat charters, shopping, and so on. She’s a gem!We would absolutely stay here again and hope to return one day.

Thank you Ann for your lovely review. You all were a treat to host. Please come back and visit us again soon.
We loved our stay at Touchstone cottage. The rental had everything we could need for our stay, well appointed kitchen, beach toys, towels and toiletries. Only thing I would add is an outdoor shower. Hope to come back again!
Touchstone cottage was a great home base for our family in our first visit to Harbour Island. We loved the layout of the house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms - perfect for our family of four - and the open kitchen/family room. Really my only issue was that the laundry line was located in the shade, so the beach towels did not ever really dry off. It would have been wonderful to have more towels on site to take to the beach / use in bathroom or have them replaced at some point during our stay. Otherwise was truly a wonderful stay!
We absolutely loved the location of the cottage - everything about it was perfect. Close to everything, but just enough tucked away. And the close proximity to the beach is amazing! The owner gives wonderful recommendations and instructions for getting around the island, restaurants, excursions, etc. We will be back!

Thank you, Lauren, for your wonderful review. You all were fabulous guests. We look forward to your return.
This property lived up to every expectation and more. Karina and team were fantastic! The property was beautiful, the house was clean and had the best beach bungalow vibe. It was steps from the beach and perfect for a young family. Can’t wait to come back soon:)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The porch is perfect for meals and relaxing in the evenings with a nice breeze. A beautiful beach is just a few steps away. The only minor issue we experienced was a clogged kitchen sink and the property manager had someone there and the problem resolved before lunch. We can’t wait to plan another trip here.
