Touchstone's House on Beachside - Tropical 1 Acre Property.

Touchstone's House lies on a lush and expansive 1-acre tropical property. The house is east of Romora Bay Marina, beach-side, tucked in just behind the dune, adjacent to the pink sand beach. You can hear the waves crashing from every part of the home. The house is 70 casual steps away from the famous Pink Sand Beach. The house adorns original, hand-made, hand-painted Cuban tiles from the '50s. The home has the perfect combination of rustic and polished with modern features, like brand new split unit AC's in every room, Amazon Firestick & RokuTV, & Wireless Internet. The home has 4 huge outdoor entertaining spaces, perfect for BBQs and dinner parties.
TS’s House also lies adjacent to Touchstone’s Cottage VRBO listing # 333247 - far enough away for total privacy to rent separately yet close enough together to rent as a duo, perfect for large families or groups of friends.
Harbour Island is only 4.5 miles long by half a mile wide; everything is quickly accessible by golf cart. The house comes equipped with all of your beach necessities. Children and baby supplies can be rented through the housekeeper, please inquire. Daily housekeeping is included. *Note - We recommend purchasing travel insurance.
The home and property are inspired by world travelers and lovers of the ocean, and it would be our pleasure to help you create an unforgettable stay on this special island.

Magical stay in Harbour Island
My family had the most incredible time staying at Touchstone in Harbour Island for spring break. We have been dreaming of this trip for years and it did not disappoint. The home is steps to the pink sand beach and filled with so many charming touches and details. We will be talking about our special memories made at this home for years to come. Thank you to Karina and the whole team for such an unforgettable trip ❤️❤️

WOW WOW WOW
My family and I had the most incredible stay at Touchstone's House. The house was even more special than the photos revealed. Karina was an exceptional host. The housekeeping staff and the grounds keeper were lovely and did an awesome job. The proximity to the beach was unmatched and the beach felt very secluded. I always think coming home is nice but this return home was definitely bitter sweet. Thank you Karina.

Great Family Vacation!!!!
We had a wonderful time staying at Touchstone, it was very relaxing. We love make dinner and sitting out on the patio at night. After dinner we would all go to the beach and look at all the star at night, living in the city you don't get to see that many star at night. Touchstone is a beautiful home and we hope to be back someday soon. :)

Spring Break
We found Karina’s gem and we’re so relieved! Touchstone is exactly what my wife and 2 daughters wanted and needed for our vacation — a cozy, well appointed, no-fuss, cottage that was well maintained and decorated with interesting art and vibe! The home has great spirit and is very fun! Perfect! We would return at our first opportunity!

Thanksgiving 2023
We cant say enough about Karina and David, they are amazing hosts and were there for us anytime we needed anything or had questions about the island. The house was perfect, the yard was amazing, especially for the kids to run around after long days at the beach. They made it a Thanksgiving we will never forget and we will be back!

Perfect vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Touchstone house. The house and property were even better than described and location so close to the beach is wonderful. We have stayed on harbour island in the past and will definitely choose to stay at Touchstone for our future stays. The owners went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect.

Absolutely LOVED Touchstone House
This house was perfect in every way! The pictures were extremely accurate and the house was even better than expected. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, house was clean, towels were refreshed throughout the week, yard was gorgeous. Definitely rent a golf cart, so you can explore the town of Harbour Island. Staying at this house gave us the complete island experience that we would never have experienced staying at a resort. Beach was so close and the house had sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs…you name it, it was there. Communication was fantastic with the house manager and the people taking care of the house as well. We cannot wait to book another stay!!!!
