About this house rental
Newly renovated Crown Affair is on the prettiest street in the heart of historic Dunmore Town. This architect-designed 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat is arranged around a large private garden with its own heated pool, expansive outdoor living spaces and an upper entertaining level that has wide harbor views. All living and bedrooms are on the same level and the house has air conditioning and its own generator. Rates quoted here are for a 3 bedroom stay. Please contact us for 4 bedroom rates.
Crown Street is one of the most photographed and quiet lanes on Harbour Island: it is beautiful, charming and home to this special property. The architect-owner took a modern approach to the traditional Bahamian aesthetic: creating a world apart. The name of the house and its design are inspired by the street name and one of the owner’s favorite films, The Thomas Crown Affair. You’ll find fun references to this classic movie throughout the home, in addition to a collection of local contemporary art and many other unique touches.
Crown Affair comprises three main structures. The largest of the three includes a spacious entry hall, large living room with coffered ceiling, three tasteful bedrooms (1-king and 2-queens) and three modern bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have adjoining private porches. The adjacent garden building contains a new, fully-equipped kitchen, interior dining room with over-scaled rope chandelier and an additional dramatic primary king suite with tub, shower and its own dedicated sitting area and outdoor porch. All interior spaces are climate-controlled and provided with wireless internet and Sonos sound systems. These two structures open onto an enclosed tropical garden with multiple seating options and an outdoor grilling area. The third garden structure encompases a covered outdoor dining room that seats 10, and a covered outdoor living room with comfortable furniture and custom art work. In between these spaces is a wet bar and nearby cabana bathroom and enclosed outdoor shower. By ascending a stair that encircles an old mango tree, the guest arrives at a second level porch and a dedicated air-conditioned gym with bench, weights and bands. All of these spaces overlook a heated plunge pool and sun lounging area. A second exterior stair leads to an additional covered sitting area with bar and outdoor dining, providing wide views of the surrounding village, marinas and harbor.
Crown Affair provides a quiet and secluded experience with the convenience of being in the heart of the historic village. Within an easy stroll of the property are boutique shops, multiple restaurant choices, and of course the world-famous beach. When not eating out, you can opt to hire a local chef or prepare meals in the well-appointed kitchen and on the outdoor charcoal grill. The house offers choices to sit at a large family dining table inside or to enjoy a candle-lit evening outdoors in the covered dining pavillion. At the house there are many places to relax: head to the upper level sundeck, outdoor dining and covered lounge for ocean breezes, relax in your own spacious garden around the pool, while away time on the shaded porches and outdoor living area.
Other amenities include daily housekeeping and garden maintenance, off-road parking for your golf cart, a gym, an outdoor shower, footbath, beach chairs and beach towels. Kayaks are also an option.
For a great in-home dining experience, we recommend Portia's Kitchen - they can deliver amazing dishes that you can serve up yourself, or a meal can be preparded at the home. She can be reached by phone or What's App at 242 470 0810

Crown Affair is a beautiful property on a quiet little alley on the harbour side of Harbour Island. The views from the second level are amazing! The house has a terrific designer style and the check-in process, housekeeping, etc were fantastic. Highly recommend Crown Affair!
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed the house. The location was perfect. Centrally located in town and walking distance to everything yet tucked away on a quiet street. House was fully modern and updated and very well cared for. It’s obvious the owners have put a lot of care and effort into the property. The rooftop decks are fantastic and provide an expansive view of the Harbour and the sunset over Eleuthera. It’s a great spot to have cocktails, watch the boats going back and forth or to simply take a nap. The heated pool was perfect for an evening dip before heading out for dinner. Rosena, the housekeeper, is beyond amazing. She was hilarious, fun to chat with and extremely helpful with everything relating to the house and also with arranging babysitting etc.
We can’ wait to get back! Reid we can’t thank you enough for all the hospitality. TM
5.0 / 5.0
This property is amazingly cozy, and well situated on the island. Indeed each room has details that give you an elegant look without forgetting that you are on the beach.
We hope we can enjoy it next year with our family again.
5.0 / 5.0
We had an amazing time staying at Crown Affair in Harbour Island. Needless to say, the beaches in the Bahamas are the best and we immensely enjoyed our time there. Staying at Crown Affair made it that much better! Beautiful house with a great design. You can tell everything was very thought out in the design process. The bedrooms are so pretty and spacious! The kitchen has everything you need. Lovely windows and doors everywhere. You can't beat the rooftop for breakfast, work, work out, cocktails, nap, sunset. Communicating with the owner was simple and he was available to answer any questions at all times. The house is in the center of Dunmore Town but in a nice quiet street where you feel totally at peace and secluded. We would definitely come back and stay here!! It was truly a wonderful place!
P.S. We are also big fans of the film! That's what first caught my eye!
