Guests have full access and use of the property. We are always available to answer any questions and can help arrange anything you need while staying on the island.

Power and water can be major issues on Harbour Island. Power currently comes from 'temporary' diesel generators and the service has regular interruptions. Fresh water comes from Eleuthera via underwater pipeline and the aging of the pipe has caused the water to have an extremely high salt content. For these reasons, The Blue Ruin provides backup power via it's own diesel generator and a reverse-osmosis water system to filter and treat the water supply.

The property is approximately 10 to 12 minutes walking distance to the beach and most of the island is very walkable. Renting a golf cart for a day or for your whole stay is a great way to have access to the whole island and is a fun way to get around and sightsee.
