Loved the island, loved the house. The location is perfect as it is right in the village on the bay, has it's own dock, walk to shopping, 3 minute golf cart ride to the beautiful pink sand beach (THAT BEACH! What a beach!) and they've arranged for umbrellas and lounge chairs to be available at the beach. They employee a cook for evening meals and she was not only a great cook but fun to talk to. She is flexible and can make just about anything: grouper, conch stew, crab and rice, chicken, pork chops. All was delicious and our kids are still commenting on how much better Princess cooks than their mother or their father. The daily helper that cleaned was patient when we were in her way and left lovely flowers from the garden everywhere. I’m a garden dabbler so loved the fresh flowers and wandering your garden throughout the day. We enjoyed hanging out in the front and watching the traffic go by in the evenings and tossing the football in the backyard in the mornings. And seriously, this really is a friendly island - everyone had a wave for us and all were kind and helpful. We reserved the main house which includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is air conditioned. And you can expand your party and stay in the upstairs or in a separate side suite. Very flexible. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much to everyone for allowing us to share the Blue Dolphin for our wedding! The landscaping is such a beautiful back drop!! This is such a wonderful and convenient house to have the ceremony. The girls got ready in the beautiful room upstairs and we used the stairs outside as our walkway. The terrace is so pretty with vines and flowers wrapping it as a gift. This will definately be our anniversary location!!! Highly recommended house on the island for all occasions! Thanks again!!

Fabulous Time at the Blue Dolphin
Submitted: February 26, 2012

I wanted to send you a note to thank you for sharing your wonderful home, the Blue Dolphin, with us. We had an absolutely perfect stay. The house was wonderfully appointed and carefully thought out to make our stay comfortable and easy. The layout gave each family the luxury of some autonomy while sharing a house - something that's difficult to find. I didn't realize what a luxury having the dock would be but it ended up being a highlight with the kids waking around 7 each morning and taking their poles and heading out to fish. My husband even managed to land a bonefish on a Spongebob kid pole - something that became common knowledge among the fishing folks on the island by sunset :) Princess was wonderful and I will be craving her conch chowder until we return. All in all - a fabulous visit to Briland. We will be back to the Blue Dolphin next year, let the countdown begin!

I just wanted you to know our stay at the Blue Dolphin was fantastic!!! Your home is so comfortable and we enjoyed everything about it! Herman took the boys out fishing one day, so they were thrilled with their day and catching some fish. My step son (who is 10 years old) was so excited and it made his week.
I have to say that I was impressed with the help of Eva and Betsy! They were a joy to be around and couldn't have been more polite and helpful. We've stayed in a lot of places down there and don't always get such a pleasant person working in the house. They were delightful to have around every day!
The house is in such a great location, we became the "wedding" central for everyone. Each person who popped in loved the house and was especially drawn to the lovely porch and yard out back. What a dream it is to sit back there! And in the morning, we sat out front eating breakfast. Which then prompted everyone to stop by as they drove by! It was great and couldn't have been more perfect!
We are already talking about going down next year! By the way, one of my friends took that photo of your house and thought you'd enjoy it. It turned out quite lovely!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us, we are so appreciative and blessed.
Hoping to get back next year!

Blue Dolphin suited our family's needs perfectly. We were three generations (12 people) and we enjoyed the accommodations, beautiful enclosed garden, meals together on the terrace, the social membership at Coral Sands where we ate lunches, swam in the pool and went to the beach. We have stayed at different locations on Harbour Island but enjoy the bayside location with it's colorful houses and culture and beautiful sunsets.

Blue Dolphin House Survives Family of 13

Stayed: January 2010
We just returned from an idyllic week at your home in Briland. The Blue Dolphin house suited us perfectly; everyone had their own space and so appreciated the privacy allotted with each room. The patio, yard, and gardens were a wonderful additional "room" for our 1 and 3 year olds to run off steam.
Besides loving being in your house together, our favorite activities were the Beach Club at Coral Sands and boating. My brother in law rented a perfect boat from Devon at Lil Shan's. It could accommodate all of us, and was used multiple times daily by various smaller groups for snorkeling trips to Devil's Backbone, and shell diving on a sandbar in the harbour. Some of us also rented bikes and explored the island that way. Our niece's wedding was spectacularly beautiful at Pink Sands. Everyone we encountered was delightfully friendly and helpful, Eva and Betsy (the cook & maid) have been great. Pigly Wigly and the Arthur’s Bakery were early morning destinations daily.
So,thank you for allowing our gangly group to stay at Blue Dolphin. If we can ever pull off another family trip, we will certainly be in touch to rent from you again. My husband and I would love to return and hope to do so in the next year or so. I hope this will be a good season for you. We will certainly spread the word to friends about Harbour Island and Blue Dolphin house.

We had such a great time at the Blue Dolphin. Your place is beautiful, the upstairs is exceptional, and I can't thank you enough for giving us the opportunity to be there. Betsy and Eva were a blessing. Made lots of new friends on the island and good times were had by all!

I spent the second of two idyllic weeks - in February this year - at the Blue Dolphin on Harbour Island, Bahamas, and I've already signed up for a third in 2009! For those looking for a low key tropical beach vacation with a sense of community, this is definitely the spot; if you're expecting Miami Beach, look elsewhere! There are a few small, elegant hotels but no high-rise condos. Instead, there are beautiful, colorful, manicured homes, facing the bay or the ocean, and the Blue Dolphin - on the bay, 5 minutes by golf cart to the pink beach - is among the loveliest. The 5-bedroom, 5-bath house is well-appointed and staffed - a cook and a housekeeper - and is immaculate, roomy and charming. And what a joy it is to sit at sunset with a cocktail on one of the four porches, two down, two up - taking in the awesome view! Or in the flowering garden in the morning with a cup of coffee.
One of the unique aspects of this island is that visitors and locals co-exist in divine harmony; I've rarely met such a friendly, welcoming - "Morning, Morning" - local population. En route to the expansive but never-crowded beach, one passes a cafe, a liquor store, a grocery store, a bakery, an ice-cream parlor, several small clothing shops, an art gallery, a church and a cemetery, not to mention the occasional rooster, keeping close watch on a hen and chicks in the backyard of one of the year-round residents! In other words, you are a participant in the life of a real village. There's a yacht basin, several fine restaurants and a night club or two, Gusty's being the most famous. Some friends reported seeing Cameron Diaz and Uma Thurman there in December! A social membership in the Coral Sands Resort - with free use of the beach amenitites, pool and tennis courts - comes with the house. All in all, I simply cannot imagine a more perfect spot for a stress-free, relaxing
getaway. It's paradise!

"We all had a really good time while we were there and thought that the improvements to the house were great. I loved all of the extra balconies and (while I haven’t seen tons of other homes) really think the back yard must be special. I doubt there are many locations that offer as much in terms of the overall package - gorgeous beaches; low key, friendly people; ease of getting around and the access to an occasional lovely meal out. And with kids having the beach right next to a pool while still being able to get to your own house with enclosed outdoor space (fully fenced yard), nothing beats it. It is a special place." Best, JBH

"We had so much fun in Harbour Island and really enjoyed staying at the Blue Dolphin. I love the floor plan of the house with the addition, and it worked perfectly for my family and friends. You are so lucky to have such a great house on a fun and beautiful island. Betsy (maid) was wonderful, and we ended up going to her church on Easter Sunday, what a treat! . . . We have such good memories of Harbour Island and always come home planning our next trip back."
