We stayed here with our young children and our au pair in late January/early February and everything was perfect. The home is beautifully decorated and appointed with four large bedrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms. The third floor guest suite has a view of the ocean. We rented a golf cart, although you can also walk or ride a bike. The villa is a 5 minute walk to the pink sand beaches, maybe 10 minute walk to the town and it is around the corner from the Harbour Island Marina on the bay. We took an “eco excursion” boat charter with Jeff Fox (Fox Diving) and saw starfish, turtles, sea cucumbers and other marine life with our little ones. The owner provisioned the villa with groceries before our arrival, which was very convenient (especially since we arrived late Saturday and stores are closed on Sundays). They also arranged for a crib and high chair for our baby. We ate many meals in the villa but also dined at various restaurants in the area (we recommend Ramora’s for families – they have live music on Sundays). The pool is just steps from the unit, but behind a gate, which we preferred since two of our kids do not swim. The pool area is gorgeous and includes a shower and bathrooms. The pool was a huge hit with the kids. Although the pool is shared with the three other units, we had the pool area to ourselves each day. There is also a backyard space that is private to the unit and is equipped with a gas grill. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, and beach towels for our use. There are multiple balconies for enjoying morning coffee or a glass of wine. Everything in the unit was new and pristine and gorgeous. We have stayed at many Home Away rentals in various locations and have high standards -- this villa met our expectations and more. We definitely recommend.
In case you are wondering, you can visit Harbour Island with babies and toddlers. You bring a baby bjorn or similar carrier device and strap the littlest ones to you and commute by golf cart. You can fit an adult and two smaller children in one row in the golf cart. Our kids were 15 months, 3 and 6. We did not bring car seats. We held our kids for the very short taxi cab ride from the North Eleuthera airport to the dock and held our kids on the short boat ride to Harbour Island.
