About this property

This lovely spacious cedar cottage is located on a small, friendly island surrounded by one of the world's most beautiful pink sand beaches and turquoise waters. We built this cottage for our family, and love to share it with friends and beach-lovers. That's why we've made it one of the best lodging deals on Harbour Island.

The beach, only a short walk over the dunes and past a row of gorgeous plantation-style estates, is nearly three miles long. A five minute walk to the calm protected waters on the bay side leads to licensed water sports providers, fishing guides, and gorgeous sunsets to be seen nightly from gourmet restaurants and bars with a water and sky-view. It's also a great place to check out the incredible yachts that pull into the harbor.

Most locals get around in golf carts, and rentals are readily available for your stay.

While the restaurants are top-notch, the cottage has a full kitchen and a new propane grill for those who like to cook. Shop for fresh-caught fish or conch at the daily market. Relax and enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon tea on our deck shaded by century-old banyan trees or in the comfort of our spacious living room with fresh-baked goodies from the local bakery.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and attached bath (renovated as of March 2022). A bedroom (with queen bed) and a room with two twins share a bath (also renovated March 2022). A pull-out convertible sofa provides an additional queen bed.

We have a large, fenced yard for kids to play outdoors. The house is nestled between four large banyan trees that provide shade and keep all the rooms cool. There is a powerful AC unit in the living/dining area and a second one in the master bedroom. Ceiling fans are located in all of the bedrooms and the living room.

Please note: This is a NO SMOKING property.

If you like shopping, there are wonderful boutiques in town as well as excellent local shops that carry Bahamian-made goods. No foreign currency worries – the Bahamian dollar is on a par with the U.S. dollar. The local bank has a conveniently located ATM, and credit cards are accepted almost everywhere.

Harbour Island is the best of the Caribbean – small, friendly, laid back, comfortable, warm, and fun. As former supermodel and world traveler Helena Christensen told the Wall Street Journal, Harbour Island is 'a wonderful little island with beautiful beaches, a great restaurant culture and friendly, welcoming atmosphere..'

Wonderful stay in all respects.

This cabin felt very private with the huge banyon trees that provided shade for the house and deck. We enjoyed coming back to the house after the beach and other outings. It met our expectations in all respects. There were some recent updates to the bathrooms. A couple issues remaining from the renovations were addressed quickly and efficiently by the property manager. We would definitely go back! Thank you for a great visit!

Great island-vibe home for family trip

This home worked perfectly for our family trip to Harbour Island. The house is situated conveniently near beaches and stores- very easy walk or golf-cart ride to both. In a great way the house feels like part of the island-vibe--it doesn't feel touristy and fancy, just totally comfortable and relaxing. It's a great base to come home to after a day out in the sun or out to restaurants. We didn't cook at the house so can't comment on the kitchen supplies. We traveled with 2 other families to H.I. and they stayed in other rental. properties. In comparison--our house was bigger and more private: one family's house had fancier decor but was a much smaller space; the other family's house had a bigger outdoor group area where we could all hang out and gather, but they also had an attached unit with other renter/shared space to their house which they didn't know about before renting. We were really happy with Back Banyans. Communications with the owner were really easy and the house manager on the island Alexis was great and responded quickly to any questions. Thanks for the great stay!
