Yellowbird, a Charming Property w/ Main House, Guest Cottage, Pool, In Town

Yellowbird is a beautiful mix of old and new. A listed, historic main house dating from the 1800s with a fully remodeled kitchen and amenities, and a more recently built two-story guest cottage with a refreshing plunge pool tucked between the houses. With beautiful indoor and outdoor living spaces, there are lots of cozy places to enjoy a cocktail, or read a book and relax. We enjoy sitting on the front porch swing to survey the local charm of the island.

Yellowbird is totally enclosed for privacy and security. The main house has two bedrooms - one with a queen bed, the other with two twin beds - and two bathrooms. Both bedrooms are tucked up under the eaves and have direct access to the rear verandah. The cottage includes three separate bedrooms each with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms. The two lower bedrooms in the guest cottage adjoin making a family-friendly suite. The upper bedroom has a harbour view. The property layout is ideal for two families traveling together or one big family.

Yellowbird was Fantastic!

We had a wonderful stay at Yellowbird! Great location right in Dunmore Town where everything was a short golf cart ride or walk away. The house and cottage was very comfortable and we spent a ton of time in the pool and poolside cabana which was amazing. We were visiting to celebrate our son’s high school graduation and the house slept all of our party very comfortably. Our host was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and make sure we had everything we needed. Just a great experience - we’d definitely do it again!

Great location in center of town

Family gathering in Dunmore. We enjoyed staying in town, close to great restaurants and a quick golf cart ride to the beach. Beach is stunning and plenty of beach chairs available to rent. Our favorite part of the house was the outdoor pool area/bar. Beautiful place to hang out after a fun day exploring the island. Also, loved the bakery across the street, breakfast was fantastic. Overall perfect stay for our trip to HI.

great group vacation!

We loved staying at Yellowbird! This was our 7th year renting a home on the island but first time at Yellowbird and it was a success. The house is great for large groups that also like having their own spaces and the outdoor space is beautiful - great place to hang rain or shine! Not having any beach chairs was the only disappointment as we have have been provided them at other rental homes there in the past, but all the staff and owner were communicative and kind so we'd definitely recommend overall.

A perfect getaway

Yellowbird was an absolutely amazing home to stay during our stay in Harbour Island. It was even bigger and more beautiful than we expected, perfect location and both Abigail and Kava were incredibly communicative throughout our stay. I could not recommend this home more and hope that we will be able to return! Thank you!

Beautiful cottage compound. Wonderful location.

We really loved how Yellowbird felt like a family’s real vacation home. It was a wonderful spot to vacation in Harbour Island. Yellowbird is steps from the best restaurants (the Landings, Rockhouse, smoothies at the Sweet Spot, etc) and across the way from a really great bakery. You can easily walk/golf cart to the pink sands beach which is absolutely the prettiest beach imaginable. The outdoor areas of the cottage are very special - there’s a super cute covered sitting area and pool and a large covered outdoor dining table. We loved having drinks outside every afternoon. The cottages are truly separate so this would be perfect for two families. Our boat was delayed by the bad weather and the extra bedrooms were really helpful. Abigail was very responsive to questions and left a lot of info + plentiful beach towels. Kitchen is really well provisioned and you are easily walkable to two grocery stores though we barely cooked. Highly recommend this sweet spot. It’s really perfect if you have part of your group moored at Valentines.

Spring Break at Yellowbird

Overall pretty good experience at Yellowbird. The property is clean, spacious and the pool is a huge asset. This was our first trip to Harbor Island but next time we wouldn't stay in town as the location wasn't as relaxing as we hoped. Pros: House is centrally located in town; well-stocked kitchen; house is spacious and clean; pool area is beautiful; Kava takes care of issues with the home when you're visiting (AC broke and she had it fixed immediately without us even asking) Cons: Being in town on a cut-through street, it's really noisy (people, cars/golf carts, roosters, dogs, cats - all day and night) especially in the main house bedrooms. You can't drink the water and the house only provides 2 large jugs for the week; given the cost of the house and amount of people using it, water jugs should just be replenished for free (9 people went through the "free" water in 2.5 days and never were able to get more so we had to buy gallons from the grocery store to refill the jugs on our own); despite locking the gates from the inside (per Kava), people taking care of the house/garden/pool/trash were able to access the property so we didn't feel very safe; keys did not work to the back house so it could only be locked from the inside while inside, also why we didn't feel super safe (and yes, we told Kava this and asked multiple times for new keys); pool has sharp edges inside so we got a few nasty cuts
