About this cottage rental
THE COTTAGE
‘Elizabeth on Crown’ is a colonial gem and is quintessential-vintage Harbour Island, sitting in the very heart of Dunmore Town. The original ‘Abaco pine’ wooden frame still wraps its outer walls-a tribute to its loyalist architecture. The cottage has been restored with modern luxuries and outfitted with an eclectic mix of dis' and dat', old and new, local art works, re-purposed furniture and handcrafted beds.
YOUR HOME AND SPACE
The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, with cooking tools and dining ware. Here you’ll find a full washer and dryer set for getting the sand and salt out and a simple pantry for stashing the goods. The dinner table and dry bar are just over.
The living space is designed for lazy days. Sit and read one of our library chosen books, or binge watch your favorite Netflix shows on our smart TV or explore the complete Apple Music store on the smart speaker, it’s up to you.
THE ROOMS
There are two bedrooms downstairs, sharing a jack and jill bathroom. The master suite is upstairs just past the kids room (to access the master bedroom, you’ll pass through the kids room).
OUTSIDE PATIO
Evening salutes and candle lit dinners under the stars, gather with family, old friends, new friends and fire up the grill.
THE ISLAND
Harbour Island is only 3 miles long, yet offers some of the best vacation memories. You can spend hours on our pink sands beach lounging in the sun…when you’ve had just about enough sun you can take, grab a drink from one of the hotel bars just up the dune or carry your own thirst quenchers from the local wines and spirits outlets or the Pigly wigly food market. Once you’ve re-hydrated, ride the beach trotting horses with Marty. Their names are Star Boy, Tex, Briland and Princeton.
Boutique shopping stores, fun quirky pubs and chicken shacks dot the island. Fine dining here has no limit, so create your list and get it done. Visit the ‘Lone Tree’ at Girls Bank and try some conch salad while you’re at it. Join our vendors at the farmers market on Wednesdays and be sure to visit the library, it’s an historical sight…The ‘Sir George W. K Roberts Public Library’ is the second oldest library in The Bahamas.
Down at the harbour, you can hire a small boat to take in the bay’s crisp salty air, jet ski, paddle board, snorkel, bonefish or fish for snappers and groupers on a charter.
BREAKFAST
Enjoy complimentary breakfast at our favorite coffee shop and smoothie bar ‘COCOA Coffee House’. Italian espressos, coffees, fresh juices, power smoothies, acai and pitaya bowls, avocado toast and more…. Welcome to our little Harbour Island.

Such a sweet little cottage. Thank you Gem

I tried to write a detailed description but apparently they limit the characters so I’ll have to Cliff’s note this one. In short…
The house looks great in pictures and it is old and cute. BUT…upon arrival I noticed the entire foundation is sagging and not level. To the point that we were joking about it. There was even one part that literally felt like you could jump right through the floor. I thought it was just because it was old but we found out on the 3rd night of our 4 night stay that it was in fact infested with termites.
After a big rain we came back from dinner and the entire second floor was flooded with thousands of termites flying and crawling on everything. We had to have our upstairs guests sleep on the couch downstairs, and even there they were coming through the ceiling light fixtures and baseboards. Gem, the property manager, gave a lackluster excuse that it’s the islands and there are bugs after rain but this wasn’t a random mosquito or two. The house is literally falling apart.
We could only use 2 out of 3 bedrooms and when I asked Gem for a partial refund she ignored my request. I contacted VRBO and they reached out and she ignored that as well. This house is literally falling apart and is infested with termites. It’s disgusting and not safe. Stay away at all costs and understand that if you do choose to stay here and there is a problem, the owner will completely ignore you and do nothing about it. SCAM!!!!!

The house is very darling and located near everything. We did hear the music from Daddy Ds but came prepared with earplugs. They had a lovely welcome basket and cold beers in the frig which was really nice. As far as the 2nd floor bathroom I was fine with it as I am not tall but my husband did bump his head throughout the week. All in all I loved how we could walk everywhere on the island and in town to yummy dinners.

Great Week in Harbour Island
Fantastic stay at Elizabeth on Crown. Very quaint cottage. Location is perfect close to grocery, liquor and shops. Few minute ride by golf cart to the beautiful beaches. Great place to rent chairs and umbrellas by the Dunmore think it’s called Ms V’s. Overall the property was as advertised. Beds were super comfortable, tons of towels for the beach and Gem welcomed us with some great starters (snacks) which we were not expecting. The bakery, Arthur’s, is right next door. We loved it. Would go back.

Family Friendly
Stayed for 5 days with my husband and 3 kids ages 3, 5, and 7. Overall a very cozy house for our family. Master bathroom situation a bit odd but I was prepared for that from reviews. Only complaints would be very low water pressure and the nightly concert that can be easily heard from Daddy Ds (especially on New Years Eve). Kids also woke up with the roosters every morning but I anticipated that! Lovely house and rental-extra bonus was the abundance of towels and well equipped kitchen/bar. Welcome note and some food items were a treat as well. Hope to return soon!

We just returned from our first trip to Harbour Island. We loved it! The house is cute, clean, and charming. The location is convenient to the Pigly Wigly for groceries. And a quick golf cart ride to the bay or the beach. The ONLY way to improve this house would be in the master bathroom. We didn’t love the lack of privacy (not having a bathroom door) or the inability to stand up straight at the sink due to the sloped roof. But both of those things were easy enough to over look when the rest of the house is clean and comfortable and the island is so wonderful.

Wonderful harbour island cottage with solid amenities. The cottage is well located in town, close to shopping and an easy 10 minute walk to the pink sand beach. The wifi worked great (my husband, who had to do some work while on the island, was appreciative of this!) as did the air conditioning (our whole family was appreciative of this!).
Gem was super responsive, easy to work with and a very caring host. The welcome basket, complete with gifts for our children, was a great surprise and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend Elizabeth on Crown for anyone looking to stay on Harbour Island!

We loved staying in this adorable house. It had so much personality and charm, and we especially enjoyed hanging out on the back patio. Gem was a wonderful host, even providing us with some pantry items upon arrival. The location was perfect - very central. And breakfast at Cocoa’s every morning was a delicious routine. Highly recommend!

Gem was a fantastic communicator and very helpful before and during our stay. The house is beautifully done and had everything that you would need for your trip. It is in a fantastic location - easily walkable to town and the harbor. One downfall to the house is that it is across the street from the nightclub, which is open from 10 pm - 1 am every night. The music is quite loud and you can feel the beat. Also, the roosters start making their noise around 4;30 am so if you are a light sleeper this could be a problem. Ear plugs were provided but didn't work for all. The upstairs bathroom has a vaulted ceiling so men cannot stand while using the toilet and there is no mirror in the bathroom. These are minor issues but you should be aware. The house is lovely and we spent a lot of time on the back deck for drinks. The flies were crazy during dinner time even with citronella so we weren't able to eat outside on the nights we grilled at home. We loved our $11 per person allowance at Cocoa for breakast, which is a short walk from the house. A great bonus! Again, Gem will help with anything!

Beautiful cottage with perfect location!
For my group of four friends, we would not have found a cuter cottage right in the heart of town. Gem responded to questions so quickly. We will come again to this property!

Perfect for a friends getaway
Gem's is lovely and made our stay on Harbour Island an absolute delight. Right in town, it's convenient to anywhere on the island--walking distance to groceries, shops, and restaurants on the harbour side. It's also a very quick drive to any of the hotels on the beach.
The home itself is nicely decorated beautifully, and the backyard was perfect for having friends over for drinks after dinner, or reading a book in the afternoon post-beach.
I'll definitely be coming again!
