BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT HOME WITH SUNSET DECK AND PRIVATE GARDENS

My family and I have been to Harbour Island several times and have stayed at Still Point twice. I am originally from the Bahamas and know how important it is to visit the family out islands. The Bahamas has so many great places to visit and the flavour of the small family islands is where you feel the heart and soul of the islands. Harbour Island is really one of favourite places on earth. And Still Point is a great place to visit. It's more than a place to plant your bags. The beds are comfy (we've stayed in 2 different rooms); the kitchen is updated and has everything you need; and the air conditioning works great in the heart of the summer! We have been there in November and July and both are equally incredible. In July of last year, my husband and I took our 2 boys, along with my sister and her husband and 2 children, and we had more than enough space. Still Point is super convenient to the local grocery store, bakery or the Landing where you can eat a fabulous brunch or dinner. The days are filled with a very short walk or golf cart ride to the beach or to the local snorkeling or boating marinas. There's incredible diving and fishing all near Harbour Island and Eleuthera. The evenings are pretty incredible: cocktails on the porch or on the sun deck with a view of the sunset that is unmatched. You won't hesitate to come back!

Our foursome spent 5 bucolic days at Still Point. This home is perfectly situated, beautifully and lovingly decorated, and has much more space than photos suggest. There is main house with downstairs master and bath, upstairs twin bedroom with bath, fully equipped kitchen. There is a beautiful garden with shaded terrace, dining table, couch and chairs, reading lights as well as landscape lighting of palm trees that lends magical flare at night. The guest cottage is actually almost as large as the main house, with large bedroom/sitting area with vaulted ceiling, walkin closet, large bathroom. There is a gorgeous and spacious rooftop deck with views out over the ocean--did I mention that the house is about ten feet from the water, looking out over the bay and with its own dock where you can tie up a boat for the week? The owner was incredibly helpful with restaurant advice, golf cart and boat rentals--and lots of small details that made our first trip to HI a wonderful vacation--it made a tremendous difference to have such an interested and interactive homeowner to correspond with. We rented golf cart for the five minute trip to the beautiful sand beach (house has oodles of towels, chairs, umbrellas)--and easy access to the whole island--walkable to town dock, Arthur's bakery, Piggly Wiggly grocery and fishing docks/shops in town. Loved sitting on front porch and watching pedestrians stroll by in the morning--everyone is so friendly--and sitting on rooftop deck for sunsets and star-gazing! the house feels quite spacious because of all the outdoor living space--front porch, large terrace, rooftop deck, guest house has its own proch as well. We will return, and have aleady recommended to two friends.

This wasn't our first trip to Harbour Island and won't be our last. But Still Point will be our destination.
The pictures on the website were so lovely, we wondered if it would meet our expectations when we finally arrived. MET AND SURPASSED! The location was perfect; the view from our front porch was spectacular; the house was charming and so well appointed. There was nothing the owners overlooked. Their library was so eclectic and had something for everyone. I read two of their books and put my own aside. Relaxation is imminent. There is no choice but to join the islanders in their lifestyle.
Thank you to the owners who made us feel so at home. Actually Jody called and e-mailed while we were there to check in. She was wonderful.
