About this property

Touchstone's Cottage on Beachside - Tropical 1 Acre Property

Touchstone's Cottage lies on a 1-acre tropical and expansive property adjacent to the world-famous Pink Sand Beach. TS's Cottage is east of Romora Bay Marina, tucked in just behind the dune and about 100 steps from the beach. You can hear the ocean from the front patio. Incredible upgrades were recently completed at TS's Cottage, such as expanding and resurfacing the front patio with coral stone tiles, creating designated golf cart parking and a landing, an outdoor shower, and a hand-made native Bahamian stone outdoor grilling area, plus more. As for the interiors, the kitchen has been renovated with a large hardwood island with an under-mount basin sink, creating adequate space perfect for family and friend gatherings and meals, a new fridge and a new electric range have also been installed. The living room has new furniture and furnishings, and both bedrooms and bathrooms have been renovated from top to bottom with fresh paint and furnishings. TS's Cottage shares the lush and vast property with the much-admired Touchstone's House (VRBO listing 948739) - the homes are far enough away for total privacy to rent separately yet close enough together to rent as a duo, perfect for large families or groups of friends. Daily housekeeping is included. We recommend purchasing travel insurance. Please reach out for any questions you might have. It would be our pleasure to help you plan an unforgettable trip to this amazing island.

Perfect Mother’s Getaway!
I have stayed at Touchstone’s Cottage with my family for spring break in the past but decided this year to getaway with fellow friends to take some time for myself and refill my emotional bucket! And needless to say - this was the perfect trip! The cottage is well appointed and decorated to ensure a relaxing peaceful retreat. Karina is a fantastic host and the cottage is well stocked with anything you may need to ensure the best stay. All you need is a bathing suit and a good book! I highly recommend Touchstone for a family getaway with the littles / teenagers or couples too. But this time around for me the solo respite to promote a little self-care hit the spot! Nobody does it better than Touchstone! And you can’t miss out on the pink sand, warm sunshine and clear blue ocean! All sent me back feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Thank you Karina! 🔆🐚🌸🌴⛱

Really Great
This sweet cottage was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Harbour Island. As other reviewers have noted, it is so well maintained and clean; and just authentically cozy. We loved the little details - dimmer switches on the kitchen lights, the little "pay if forward" bar, the straw hat library (I hope that's what it was meant for!), the lovely beach towels, and actually great beds. All of this (and more) made it very easy to settle into for a week. Karina and Neka were a pleasure to work with, so kind and responsive! Overall, the property is gorgeous and private, and those lounge chairs are nap-inducing! It is steps to the most beautiful beach I've ever seen - which we essentially had to ourselves. Staying at Touchstone's Cottage was special, we had the most relaxing vacation in recent memory. Thank you Karina! We hope to return soon :)

Lovely stay at the Touchstone Cottage
We could not be happier with our stay at the cottage! The house was clean and tastefully decorated. It was the perfect size and layout for me, my husband and 3 yr. old. The yard was beautifully cared for and the location was fantastic. It’s a quiet area of the island, yet 5 minutes to everything. I can’t imagine a more beautiful beach to have access to. Karina was an excellent host in covering anything we would need to know for the trip. Before we left, we had already started planning when we could come back to this magical island and property.

Good stay, but not perfect.
Pros: Proximity to beach, 2 min walk was great. Beds super comfy. Great outdoor area for kids to run around, loved the outdoor shower and beach toys/chairs were a nice bonus! Kitchen well stocked. We had a few rainy colder days so staying in and watching Netflix on the plush couches was nice. Neka was responsive, Karina checked in on us upon arrival which was courteous. Their recommendation for Tyman Charters was on point. Things to note: on our last day (one of the few days that was beach weather) we wanted to go back to the beach in the afternoon and realized all our beach towels except one had been taken during housekeeping that morning. Not sure why they were removed as they were much needed towels, maybe it was a mistake, but would have been nice to have them. Also, there are luxury villas behind the property with outdoor speakers on the units and a few afternoons when we were hoping to hang out in the peaceful yard, we were met with party music for the afternoon, and into the evening/bedtime one night we could hear the base of the music in our bedrooms (until 11pm). Not exactly tranquil vibes. Also, the landscaper mowing the lawn one of the days just sat in our yard scrolling and watching videos on his phone at full volume for almost 45mins, it was kind of odd, then he got up and left. Overall, I’d recommend this property though, but the villa music for us (although not the property’s fault of course) was a deal breaker for us.

Wonderful bungalow cottage that had everything we needed
The cottage was perfect for our family, it has a comfortable layout and spacious kitchen. We had everything we needed for cooking meals, relaxing in the living room or on the breezy veranda. The outdoor shower is great. The well maintained grounds are lush and beautiful, and our young kids loved running around when we weren’t at the beach. The beach is just a minute walk away and very easy to get to. The cottage feels very private and quiet. We had a great stay!
