“We had the most amazing stay at Java House and Cottage. The space was perfect for our huge group of 16 – 3 families, 2 babysitters, and 8 kids ranging from 3 to 11. The caretaker was so nice and attentive and the entire daily staff was so kind and helpful. We had a magical time and can’t wait to do it again!”

Things you need to know
Traveling to Harbour Island is a breeze with multiple options. Most visitors fly into North Eleuthera Airport (ELH), just a 10-minute ferry ride from the island. Direct flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Nassau make it easy for US travelers. From the airport, take a taxi to the dock, where water taxis are ready to take you across to Harbour Island.
Golf carts are the top choice to navigate the island’s narrow streets easily. Bike rentals are also an active alternative. For short trips, taxis are an option, especially for carrying luggage or reaching specific destinations.
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is the local currency, often pegged on a 1-to-1 basis to the U.S. dollar, which is also widely accepted. ATMs are available in Dunmore Town for easy cash access. Most restaurants, shops, and rental services accept major credit cards, though it’s helpful to carry some cash on hand for smaller vendors and tips.
Pack light clothing, swimwear, and comfortable footwear for exploring the island, and don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to stay protected from the tropical sun.
December and April are ideal if you want warm and dry weather with island events. This is the peak season, which offers ideal beach conditions. If you want a quieter experience, consider visiting in the off-season from May to November, when rates are often lower.
Not far at all! Most of our vacation rentals are just a short walk or a quick golf cart ride from the famous Pink Sands Beach. We even offer beachfront properties for those who want to stay right on the sand. With any of our vacation rentals, you’ll have easy access to one of the most iconic beaches in The Bahamas.
