Would never recommended

Do not stay here! The housekeeper never showed up, we did not have laundry services all week, the property was dirty, bedding looks like it is from the 1900s. The main shower broken with 3 days left in our trip. The hot water was shut off for 3 days yet the cold water dripped consistently for 3 days and no one fixed it. The only night club on the island is directly behind the house so it sounds like you are at a rave every night at bed. The locks to the house were loose. The pictures are clearly from a long time ago, this house is worn and has not been updated and we were told by locals the owners never come to the island to check on the property so it is known to be not maintained. If you are looking for a house, I would stay on Bay Street, not here. It is far from being a "jewel'.

Jewelbox lives up to its name!

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.

Perfect spot!

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.

Great trip to Harbour Island!

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!

An Absolute Jewel

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.

Magical Stay

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!

Lovely Stay

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!!

Jewel Box

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.

Lovely Hidden Gem

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!!!

Absolutely Adorable

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!!

Unique historical cottage with authentic Bahamian decor

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.

This is no Jewel

Where do I start? First of all, this place looks NOTHING like it does in the outdated listing photos. The house is tired, run down and dirty. This is no fault of the housekeeper. She’s got junk to work with. The floor mats are gross and you have to walk down a dirt path along the side of the house to get in and out. It’s impossible not to bring dirt with you. As for the other issues, the only way to be secure in the house is to lock all of the many deadbolts from the inside. Major safety hazard!! The only way you can get out of the back of the house after you’ve locked yourself in is if you have a key. If you’re sleeping in the back bedroom, you need two keys to get out of the room and out of the backyard. The four keys to get in and out are not labeled and on two separate keychains. Again, huge safety hazards! Additionally, the AC went out and we had two people displaced one night. The upstairs bath was useless after day one when it leaked onto the bed below. The part to fix it… due after we left. The power goes out daily, all over the island, but they have a generator… it also didn’t work. The part to fix that… also due after we left. The wood tables and outdoor chairs are gross. You can’t use the washer/dryer yourself. I wouldn’t dare put food on the old gas grill, fences are falling apart, outdoor shower is barely a trickle, the pool is freezing. There’s nightclub behind the house, music until 2am. Slow response by host!! Wish I could post pictures.

Worst Rental Ever...

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

Fell Short of Expectations

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.
