We had the most amazing time! The house is so beautiful and spacious!
10.0 / 10.0
Property has plenty of room and beds. 3 of the rooms are not accessible from main house, you will have to walk outdoors to access which is actually nice if you go with a big group. The house had comfortable beds and linens and a/c!!
Close to local bakery and walking distance to food store for supplies. 5 min golf cart ride to best pink sand beaches. Will stay again

The best part about the house is the location. Very affordable waterfront home. Also a bonus to always have chairs and umbrella on the beach just for us. The house does need some tlc. I wish there were more towels supplied (and weren’t falling apart). The tile outside is very slippery. Our bedroom upstairs was very hot at night. On the last day the back door would not open.

The house is located in a very convenient spot near ferry dock and Valentines Marina. Older house with older furnishings but well appointed. Everything you need including full house generator if the island power goes out. The chairs and umbrellas on pink sand beach amazing extra.

We enjoyed our first trip to Harbour Island, and the location of the Blue Dolphin was great! We could easily access all the restaurants, shops and beach. The chairs at TeeJay's were great and we loved eating/drinking there on our beach days. Sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking! The kids also loved playing in the spacious back yard with lovely landscaping.

The Blue Dolphin was an amazing house to stay in. Beautiful views and great back yard. The Island itself was a fun place to stay as well. The one complaint was the electricity on the island went out daily and since we were there on one of the hottest weeks of the year, at times it was uncomfortable in the house.

We had a great time at the Blue Dolphin. The house was island chic, and in a great in town waterfront location. The beach club at Teejays made our beach time easy and enjoyable. The bar at Teejays was great, with drinks complete with enough Rum to easily encourage an afternoon nap. Huge shout out to Blaire, whose always on via WhatsApp concierge service meant that no request was more than 10 minutes away from being addressed.
10.0 / 10.0
Overall, we couldn't have hoped for more. Water issues were resolved promptly, sadly had no internet our last day, and ran out of toilet paper. But we loved being in a home with a yard, hammock, kitchen, and plenty of rooms/beds for all, in a GREAT location. LOVED the sunset view, and access to so much.
8.0 / 10.0
Easy renting and great communication with owner. Location highly desirable in historic village with bay view. Easy walking to many great restaurants. Easy walking to beach on ocean (or rent a golf cart and really see the island). Dunmore is fun to explore on foot or golf cart. People friendly and welcoming. Valentine resort easy access and great bar. Queen Conch very close local restaraunt.

Blue Dolphin was as described and was a great casual place to getaway on Harbour Island. Blaire our concierge was wonderful picking me up at the ferry dock, getting me situated with a golf cart and being a wealth of knowledge. The house is traditional and nothing fancy but clean, spacious and fun with plenty of room, awesome view, and a great backyard. Proximity to resorts and beach are good but we enjoyed being close to the locals market, coffee stand and bars and found everyone welcoming. I would definitely come back to this beautiful island and would be happy to stay at Blue Dolphin again.

We loved our stay at the Blue Dolphin! We were 3 families that rented 2 suites and 2 rooms. We enjoyed having family meals out on the patio and cocktails on the upstairs deck. The house suited our needs perfectly. The upstairs master is stunning!!

Fabulous location in the heart of the island. Great eating at either high-end or mom and pop. Very walkable to everything. And it you want to explore, rent a golf cart and have a ball. Very walkable to the beautiful beaches. Also explore the resorts and bars. Very welcoming even if you are not a guest at that location. Hosts were easy to reach and communicate. Hope others enjoy it as much as we did.

We stayed at the Blue Dolphin to attend a family wedding in Harbour Island. Our property manager, Blaire, was outstanding. She greeted us upon arrival, helped us with our golf cart rental, promptly responded to questions, helped us to arrange dining reservations, accommodated our early check in/late check out requests, and so much more. Our home was cleaned once during our stay as prearranged as well. The location was incredible, just 3 blocks from the main dock. We enjoyed coffee on the front patio each morning, the backyard gardens in the afternoon, and sunsets each evening. Highly recommend!

Our past week in Harbor Island staying at The Blue Dolphin will go down as one of our families most memorable vacations. The house itself is great - nothing fancy, but has everything you need. From an early morning cup of coffee on the private back patio that looks over the beautiful backyard garden listening to the AMAZING birdsong, to sipping cocktails on the upper porch looking out over the bay at spectacular sunsets, it is truly a little bit of paradise in this crazy world. The beach is about a ten-minute walk, or even shorter golf cart ride, and having the chairs and umbrellas reserved for us was a huge plus. We found the location of the house to be really great, too...right in town within easy walking distance of stores and restaurants, and of course right on the bay. But the absolute best thing about renting the Blue Dolphin is its owners. From the second we made the reservation Kathy was in touch with her detailed 'Tips' sheet and willingness to answer any and all questions we had for her. She always responded quickly, too, which we really appreciated. During our stay we had a bit of a personal issue we needed help with, and Kathy and Jamie could not have been more helpful and understanding. It is clear they love their home, and they want the people who rent it to love it, too. Well, our family definitely does and we will be back, next time with grandchildren in tow! Many thanks for everything! ~ Peggy O.
P.S. The reverse osmosis system throughout the house is an enormous plus, too- so great not to have to buy drinking water and deal with all the plastic! Wifi also worked really well - even with nine of us.

Our family had a great stay at the Blue Dolphin in July 2021. The air conditioning was great as was the property manager, Wesley. Kathy was very good at communicating with our group and made the planning easy. The upstairs Master Suite is wonderful and very comfortable. The only issue we had (not with the Blue Dolphin) was loud music from nearby bars on the Bayfront side. However, we used a sound machine which helped. Additionally, during our stay, The Bahamas instituted a COVID curfew which made all music stop at 10:00 pm so we slept fantastic on those nights.
We had 8 people and stayed in the main house, queen side bedroom and upstairs master. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful visit to Harbour Island and the Blue Dolphin House! The house was very traditional for the island and as a long time visitor, the location is perfect! We could walk to everything but very close to a convenience store and takeaway restaurants. The views across the bay were amazing. I love the upstairs sun deck. We had 7 total people and the house is great as you can configure the different areas of the house to what you want and need. Everyone who cared for the home was so accommodating. Any issues - they are right there. The house manager was incredibly responsive and helped with whatever was needed. I grew up visiting this island since I was 4 years old and got to see Herman who cares for the yard...I remember him from when I was a little girl. Such a treat! Blue Dolphin is such a gem and did not break the bank like many of the locations on the Island these days. We had fishing trips that came right to our dock to pick us up and plenty of space throughout the house. It is a very special place. Many thanks to the owners for their advice and help as well. We had a great visit!

We arrived at the dock by water taxi, on the morn of July 16, to find it was only a short walk to the Blue Dolphin. We could've taken a taxi or a golf cart to our weekend hideout, but we decided to taste the local flavor by hoofing it 3 very short blocks. Don't ya love bags w/wheels? We came off the dock, turned left, (north), and in 5mins we were home. VERY COOL. The staff had the A/C dialed in, and the Dolphin was spacious. We flopped down on the bed, w/smiles on our faces. After a min or so, we unpacked, & got to the business of getting to know "da eye-land". That's always the fun part. Rented a golf cart & cruised around for cpl of hrs. You CANNOT get lost on Harbour Island. "Wax on, Wax off". The bay is west, the ocean east. I cannot say enough about Blue Dolphin sunsets. INCREDULOUS!!! Island food a blk or two away. Ck out Brian's, for some GREAT home cooked food, in a "locals" atmosphere. We had one major glitch in the Blue Dolphin Matrix. NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!😎. Ck it out. If u like local flavor, you'll love it. If u like snooty and presumptuous, go to a resort that separates u from da eye-land cultcha. For a good groove, the Blue Dolphin fits very well. Peace
