About this house rental
Located in the heart of historic Dunmore Town and restored in 2013, Jewelbox is one of Harbour Island’s original homes. The original structure now looks much as it did when built in the 1700’s and embodies all the old world charm one hopes for in an island home.
Jewelbox is a three bedroom, three bath home with a dining porch, lounging porch, pool and small garden. Two queen bedrooms (with en suite bathrooms) and a twin bedroom (also with en suite bathroom). Guests can enjoy luxury amenities like down pillows, fine linens, dining area for eight, wireless internet, cable, free long distance, AC throughout and a whole home stereo system. The home is also equipped with a generator.
Open, airy and extremely comfortable Jewelbox is a delightful home away from home. A perfectly sized 8' x 9' pool was installed in the Fall of 2017. Great for relaxing in after a day at the beach.
There is a state of the art home theater system with professional sound bar. Other amenities include a fully equipped home office space that features multifunctional wireless printer, scanner and copier and all essential office supplies.
Daily housekeeping is provided except for Sundays and holidays. For the convenience of guests, golf cart parking is located securely on property.

The pros: This vintage house had nooks and crannies galore. Walls clad in shiplap and floors are hardwood and vintage tile. The interiors are well appointed with Bahamian antiques. Location is convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. Really you can get almost anywhere on the island in a golf cart in less than 10 mins. Our favorite dinner restaurants were The Dunmore, The Landing, and Rockhouse. Make reservations ahead. We didn’t make any before our trip and had to work hard to get tables. The Blue Bar (at Pink Sands Resort) is right next to public beach chair/umbrella rentals and made for a convenient lunch spot and place to order drinks and it has amazing views. Caretaker Juanita was lovely as was Rosina the housekeeper.
The cons: this house is due for a DEEP clean. Also the salty air has corroded the some of the metal in the house like the shower curtain rod in back house and bathroom faucets. Back house tub doesn’t drain well. Kitchen faucet functions but is aesthetically broken. The backyard is screaming for landscaping. The house backs up to Daddy Ds night club — Bring ear plugs.
OVERALL: this house is charming and a good value on a very expensive island.

We loved our stay at Jewelbox! The house is very well-located, well-appointed and beautifully decorated. We always felt safe and comfortable. Juanita, the housekeeper is very accommodating and attentive. The host, Nalini, communicated very well with us. The both of them helped us tremendously by letting us stay an extra night past our reservation when our flight was cancelled.

Cute house with a chill vibe. Great location and very comfortable!

We really enjoyed this property! It fit our family of five perfectly. The reviews that say to bring earplugs due to the roosters and daddy D’s are correct. But it was not a big deal to us. Located right next to the grocery store and Arthur’s bakery. Juanita, the housekeeper, is alone reason to sign up for this property. She helped us get a last-minute golf cart, last-minute reservations, and had knowledge on where to get miscellaneous items that we might need. She definitely took good care of us.

We spent our holidays in this stunning classical home full of creature comforts. The location was excellent and truly ideal for all our needs - coffee shop, bakery, shopping and restaurants. We loved the hidden private courtyard with a soaking pool and private elegant island dining next to it. Very pleasant and professional staff who provided housekeeping as well as same day laundry service. Fantastic full kitchen and outdoor grill and lovely cozy living room with state of art large TV.
An absolute Jewel and we look forward to staying here on our next trip to Harbour Island.

What a beautiful island with beautiful people. Our stay at the Jewelbox was a dream! Equipped with everything one might need on a beach vacation. The highlight of our trip was our lovely house cleaner, Juanita “Nita”, whom we awoke to a lovely text message from every morning. She took care of us every single step of the way ❤️ Her services went above & beyond…….she even did our laundry daily. A complete DELIGHT. Book the trip at The Jewelbox, you won’t regret it. We will be back!!!

We had the best time at the Jewelbox. Nita welcomed us and was so wonderful the entire trip. The home is next door to the grocery and liquor store (and a super cute boutique) which makes it so convenient. Plus it was a short golf cart ride to the ferry dock and some of our favorite dinner spots. It's only a few minutes golf cart to the lovely beaches. Thank you!!

The Jewelbox was the perfect spot for our weeklong vacation. Close to stores and restaurants and a quick golf cart ride to the beach. Juanita was very helpful and so sweet! Only request would be to add a generator because the power went out every day we were there.

Worst rental experience ever....!
The first night we arrived on 5/5/2023 someone broke into the home while we were sleeping and stole all of my cash out of my wallet. Over Two Thousand. Later that day after the cleaning people left my sisters' purse and jewelry were gone. I called the cleaning lady and notified her right away of the stolen cash. Her response was if I went to the police it would be “the worst two days of your life and they may keep you on the island.” The nightmare got worse...
I immediately reached out to the host Nalini Mohan in an emergency state asking for help. I tried to call her, she would only work through email. I explained to her that the home was broken into and my cash was stolen. I let her know about the purse and jewelry as well. Nalini offered zero compassion and her response was to reach out to authorities. Which I did, I filed a police report with the Harbor Island Police who were very kind and helpful. But Nalini was zero help. Since her cleaning people had keys to the house I was extremely concerned for the safety of myself and my family. I reached out to her again asking her to call me. Her response again was to contact authorities...
We ended up getting a hotel room on the island for the remainder of our vacation. I honestly cannot believe that we were treated this way. Nalini the host finally responded and in so many words suggested that my daughter could have stolen the money.
This was one of the worst vacation renta

This house is amazing! Right beside the Pigly Wigly and literally in the best location! The interiors are beautiful and the beds are all so comfortable! This is one of the best houses on Harbour Island!

Me and my family stayed here while in town for my son’s wedding and it was absolutely perfect! The location was perfect as we could walk to the grocery store, liquor store, shops, restaurants and government dock. We did rent a golf cart which was fun to drive to the beach and explore the island!! We had 5 adults in our group with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which was nice. There was an awesome private outdoor space which is where we enjoyed breakfast and cocktails. The kitchen was well stocked and Juanita was very helpful at acquiring anything we needed!! Other family members stayed in the house across the street called the Chatterbox and their house was so charming as well!! I would definitely rent one of these two houses again!!

We were looking forward to our first stay on Harbour Island and thought we had found the perfect property.
We were granted an early check-in, which was nice, but the property was absolutely not ready. Workman were cleaning the porch ceiling in the backyard and there were maintenance issues that were being tended to all day.
We quickly discovered the air conditioners were not working in the main living area of the house or in the outside bedroom. To summarize a long story, we had no AC for three days. The homeowner will say it was our fault for not allowing them to install them starting at 5:00pm on the second day however, they did not even have the correct parts to install them on the second day.
Moving on from that issue, the home is VERY dark. Light bulbs are burnt out everywhere and although some were replaced, they blew out within a day so clearly the house has electrical issues.
There is super limited seating in the living area. One sofa and two chairs. Everything looks tired. The beach towel have holes in them and they are incredibly worn. There are no beach chairs to use since the ones on property are rusted and not usable. There were TWO mismatched stemmed wine glasses to use in the whole house. Note: There is no dishwasher either.
There is no direct access to the washer or dryer. The lovely and attentive housekeeper, will do laundry but you can't wash anything on your own which is frustrating.
The grill is falling apart and you would never trust cooking on it. The pool light, which will heat the pool, is broken and does not work. The TV did not work and we had to watch football on our computers.
Finally, while the property is in the center of town this also means it is VERY noisy and not relaxing at all. Roosters will wake you up starting at 3:30 am and go almost till 9:00 am. The hardware/lumber yard is across the street and they start their forklift at 7:30 am. Oh, and the one nightclub, Daddy's D's , is behind the house and has music till 2:00 am.
If visiting HI, I suggest not staying in town and also consider one of the several resorts where you will likely have better amenities.

Jewelbox is perfectly located in Dunmore Town, just a couple of minutes walk from a grocery store, bakery, deli, boutiques, and restaurants. The house is well-maintained and communication with the the host was terrific!

The Jewel Box was a gem with a perfect location right next to the grocery store and central to everything else we needed on the island. It is beautifully decorated with an island vibe and the space fit our party of 5 perfectly. The kitchen was appointed with everything we needed as well. We definitely recommend this property!

Great property and location!
The house is decorated as seen in the photos and such a cute place. Very conveniently located next to the Piggly Wiggly and Bristol Liquor store so you don’t have to go far to stock up for your stay. Housekeeping did a great job and comes once a day. Pool was maintained and clean. Overall a great rental!

Jewelbox | Spring ‘22
Jewelbox was a charming and a great property for my family on our recent trip to Harbour Island! We loved the home, the amenities and the location. Truly felt immersed to the bohemian vibe. The home is a “jewel” as it served as a great destination in between our adventures around the island ~ beach, harbor, etc.
The property was well maintained, clean and taken care of with TLC. The property manager, Nalini, was extremely attentive and made sure all our questions were answered about the property.
Bottom-line: Jewelbox is an AMAZING place to stay on Harbour Island as it has a great combination of a charming home and a property manager that make being on vacation, especially with family, truly relaxing. My family loved our stay and the Jewelbox played a key role in making this a memorable trip!

Jewel Box is a Gem!
Jewel Box could not be more well located! It is steps from the Pigly Wigly, a bakery, sandwich shop, shopping and everything else you will want and need while you are enjoying the Island. It is also minutes from the beach. Nalini, Neka and Clint are the BEST! You must have Neka and Clint cook for you while you are staying at Jewel Box. They catered a party for us for 22 people. It was beyond professional and delicious; one of the best meals we had on the island. Thank you Nalini, Neka and Clint! Hope to see you soon!

Gorgeous Well-Decorated Home in a Great Location
We absolutely loved our stay at the Jewel Box! We had the master bedroom on the second floor and our two children were on the main floor in a room with twin beds. My mom stayed in the adjoining part of the house. We loved that everyone had their own bathroom and that there was lots of outdoor space to hang out - we dined outside for every meal and it was heavenly. The decor is perfect and the house has lots of useful appliances and accessories - espresso machine, blender, state-of-the-art TV and sound system, sunscreen, towels, great glassware, toiletries... the list goes on! The location is wonderful - it was literally two minutes in the golf cart to the beach and the harbor. Nothing is more than five minutes away and the house is surrounded by wonderful shops. We felt so relaxed in the house and wish we were still there! The property manager is extremely responsive, kind and helpful, as are the housekeepers. We loved having that as a vacation bonus - light pickup every day. Overall 10/10!

This is the most beautiful home in the most convenient spot on the island. We truly enjoyed our stay. The housekeepers were helpful and available to help with any questions. (They made dinner for us 3 times and delivered it to our home. It was so easy and wonderful!)
The home is exactly as pictured, and the pool was a great way to cool down!

Neka and Clint were great! The communication was quick and easy and they cooked fkr is one night which was wonderful! The house was as shown on line, everything worked well. The only thing I would suggest is that the outside Needs freshening up with new pillows, candles and new/more beach towels! 6 isn’t enough for 6 people really, unless washed frequently. Could use another chair in the LR, not enough seating for 6 people. Other than that we absolutely adored everything and had a ball. Would rent it again for sure!
