Lovely island

We enjoyed our first trip to Harbour Island, and the location of the Blue Dolphin was great! We could easily access all the restaurants, shops and beach. The chairs at TeeJay's were great and we loved eating/drinking there on our beach days. Sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking! The kids also loved playing in the spacious back yard with lovely landscaping.

Blue Dolphin visit

The Blue Dolphin was an amazing house to stay in. Beautiful views and great back yard. The Island itself was a fun place to stay as well. The one complaint was the electricity on the island went out daily and since we were there on one of the hottest weeks of the year, at times it was uncomfortable in the house.

About the host

Hosted by Professor Jamie & Family

I have been visiting Harbour island since 1961 and my wife, Kathy, and I purchased the Blue Dolphin 30 years later when it was a tiny two-bedroom home surrounded entirely by a 6-foot, cinder block wall. Five major projects later our vision became a true home not only for us, but also for our three grown boys and their families as well as a spectacular vacation destination for a wonderful variety of people, many of whom return year after year.

Why they chose this property

We jumped at the chance to buy the Blue Dolphin; located on historic Bay Street with spectacular west-facing views across the bay; its own dock; part of the local action, walkable to groceries, restaurants, shops, and a sprinkling of drop-by, friendly folks in the midst of the island vibe, and those who know Harbour Island know what I mean.

What makes this property unique

Best sunset views on the island from 4 (count 'em) 4 separate porches!

Able to comfortably handle large families or groups of friends who seek both large common areas for mingling as well as private places to recharge!

One of the most enchanting, spacious tropical gardens on the island, complete with orchids, hibiscus, bougainvillea, ixora, aloe, croton, jasmine, peas and rice, crown of thorns, desert rose, ferns, banana plants, papaya, alamanda vines and shrubs, and every species of palm you can think of ... and this gorgeous display is completely surrounded by a stunning, coral-faced privacy wall. Grill tuna on the rustic barbeque pit nestled in this jungle, catch a few z's in the hammock if you can find it, or tip toe around barefoot in the soft and moist grave yard grass pathways. Be careful to avoid the colorful corals and conch shells nestled among the flora; all together, a uniquely Bahamian feel!

Oh, did I mention the Blue Dolphin has its own dock, or that it has its own reverse osmosis system that produces quality water exceeding what you buy in plastic bottles, or a whole-house generator that protects guests from the inconvenience of island power outages? Few homes can make all of these claims!
