The kitchen is fully equipped with white quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures and Bosch appliances - plus various coffee making options including a Nespresso machine.

Lush outdoor tropical gardens surround the cottages and include an outdoor shower and many opportunities for relaxing and al fresco dining.

Phenomenal spot for a family
This was the perfect spot!! Highly recommend! Noise was not an issue at all, our 6 month old was able to nap and sleep through the night (even with Junkanoo practice passing by outside). Everything was perfect!!!

Our Getaway at Harbour Island - Bamboo House
Bamboo House Harbour Island From the moment we opened the beautiful wooden doors to our gate, we were welcomed into a private, tropical oasis. The courtyard greets you with lush plants, a plunge pool, and a beautiful table for to enjoy breakfast. Inside is equally beautiful as well as cozy and welcoming. The welcome gifts were personal and thoughtful and ensured the kids had a great time at the beach swimming in the ocean. The kitchen provided all that we needed to prep breakfasts and lunch. The beds were amazing and provided the perfect nights sleep after a day of playing in the ocean. And to make it extra special, Miss Olga and Mr Dolce were so warm and kind, with extra help with keeping the house beautiful, assistance with laundry, and letting us taste fresh coconut from the beautiful palm trees. Without a doubt, when we come back to Harbour Island, we’ll be coming back to Bamboo House.

Bamboo house was perfect for our family of four. Pascale was so accommodating to us before and during our trip. Olga was so beyond kind, replacing towels and cleaning each day. Clean beach towels was a must! We loved the location. It was quiet and secluded. The dip pool at the end of the day was refreshing. We look forward to staying at Bamboo House during our next trip to HI!

Amazing first stay in Harbour Island!
We absolutely loved Bamboo House! It was the perfect first introduction to Harbour Island. It's centrally located to anything you could want to see around the island yet somehow still feels tucked away! The property grounds are beautiful and quiet. The walls surrounding keep out the outside noise, and make you feel safe and secure in an unfamiliar country! The plunge pool was the perfect way to cool off after coming in from the beach, and we spent so much time on the patio hanging out for dinners in. The house itself is a home away from home with a comfortable living area and fully stocked kitchen! The beds are SO comfortable and Olga took great care of us for the entire trip to make sure we had fresh linens and made beds. I couldn't reccomend Pascale, Olga, and Bamboo House more! We'll be back for hopefully many more family trips to our new favorite place :)

Wonderful family stay
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo House. The host (Pascale) was great to work with and provided excellent recommendations for us to help us plan our stay and was quick to reply to any questions throughout. The housekeeper (Olga) was invaluable in allowing us to disconnect as she came daily to refresh the house and even lended a hand with our laundry. Thanks to the onsite generator, even with a spotty island power grid the AC stayed cold, the showers hot, and the TV on to entertain the kids when the parents needed a break. While the entire island is always in motion, the high walls surrounding the property created a private sanctuary and the updated windows and doors kept the house quiet. I don’t hesitate to recommend the Bamboo House and look forward to coming back.

A Perfect Oasis
My family and I stayed at Bamboo House for a week in February 2024. The property was the perfect oasis for our family plus in-laws with plenty of space to spread out plus a great patio which includes a small plunge pool. In addition to the wonderful accommodations, Olga provided daily house cleaning which was such a treat! Pascale was also very timely in all her communication and answered all the questions we had leading up to our stay and while we were there. I would definitely recommend this property to any family or group! We will be back.

I’d buy this house if I could afford it!
Such a lovely property. Beautifully decorated in such a comfortable style. We loved sitting in living room and talking. Beds were super soft (I loved mine!). Plunge pool was gorgeous. House is on a busier street across but we heard NO noise due to fence. If you know Harbour Island you know you don’t need a beach front rental with as easy as it is to hop on golf cart and get there. I’ll definitely rent Bamboo house again!

We had a delightful stay at The Bamboo House. The property is comfortable, beautifully decorated with plenty of space for everyone to find their spot! We enjoyed the outdoor area and foliage every morning and evening! The location is convenient to everything. Pascale was timely in all communication in planning the trip and readily available. Best of all, Olga and Dolce were absolutely wonderful…attentive and truly took the best care of us during our entire time on island. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyable stay
Our family (6 adults and one child) stayed at the Bamboo House in early December 2023. We’ve been to Harbor several times and have rented other homes as well. Overall we were comfortable in the Bamboo House which is well appointed and reflects the online photos. Pros: property was clean, beds/linens were comfortable, the aesthetic is cute, and the generator and impact windows were very useful. Power outages are common on Harbor island and we did lose power while there but the generator kicked right on. The impact windows are crucial in this location, which helps tremendously with noise. The location while very central and close to beach is right across from the liquor store, pharmacy and bank (so very busy as the description accurately indicates) as well as next to a property where residents were loud — but the impact windows were great in blocking noise. House keeper came daily during our stay which was very appreciated. Cons: Biggest issue is that there is very minimal hot water. We travel to the Bahamas frequently and understand need to conserve resources and take quick showers as a result, but we could only get through 1.5 people’s showers in our group of 7 before running out of hot water which would take hours to replenish, making it challenging to get ready for group dinner after beach day. As mentioned, location is busy and loud — if you want quiet outside or to keep windows open (very nice this time of year), you’ll hear a lot.

This house was absolutely amazing! Pascale and Olga are two of the kindest, most easy people to work with that I’ve ever encountered through VRBO. The house was adorable, and we loved that it was completely walled in so our friends with kids could come over and we didn’t worry about them escaping!! Great lay out for a couples trip. Will 100% rent again!

Bamboo House is great for families traveling to Harbour Island. Communication with the host was great and Olga kept the house clean and tidy every day. Our only complaint is that the neighbors were very loud playing music and partying outside late into the night.

We had a lovely stay at Bamboo House and would happily come back. The home is well stocked and beautifully decorated. We were so grateful for Olga keeping the home extra tidy (the benefits of staying at a hotel with all of the space of a home). Pascale was a delight to work with and quick to respond to all messages.

Chic cottage on Harbour Island
We had the best time staying at the Bamboo House. Pascale was incredibly communicative throughout the process. Olga and Dolce on site were fantastic. The true sign of amazing hospitality was when our flight was canceled after a 7 hour delay and Pascale allowed us to come back and stay an extra night. Even Olga the housekeeper was at the house with a smile on her face freshening up the home after our terrible time at the airport. We would definitely recommend Bamboo House.
