Jewelbox. A Beautifully Restored, Elegant, Family-friendly Town Rental.

Located in the heart of historic Dunmore Town and restored in 2013, Jewelbox is one of Harbour Island’s original homes. The original structure now looks much as it did when built in the 1700’s and embodies all the old world charm one hopes for in an island home.

Jewelbox is a three bedroom, three bath home with a dining porch, lounging porch, pool and small garden. Two queen bedrooms (with en suite bathrooms) and a twin bedroom (also with en suite bathroom). Guests can enjoy luxury amenities like down pillows, fine linens, dining area for eight, wireless internet, cable, AC and a whole home stereo system. The home is also equipped with a generator.

Open, airy and extremely comfortable Jewelbox is a delightful home away from home. A perfectly sized 8' x 9' pool was installed in the Fall of 2017. Great for relaxing in after a day at the beach.

Other amenities include a home office space that features multifunctional wireless printer, scanner and copier and essential office supplies.

Daily light housekeeping is provided upon request except on Sundays and holidays. For the convenience of guests, golf cart parking is located securely on property.

We loved our stay at Jewelbox! It comfortably accommodated 3 adults and 2 children and was in the perfect location on the island (bonus: it's just around the corner from Arthur's Bakery and right next to a small grocery store). The kitchen was well stocked to make and have meals at the house and the house had everything we needed for our four night stay. The host, Nalini, quickly responded to any questions we had and we appreciated the housekeeper, Monique, checking in on us.

This is right next to a night club that goes until 2am. There was no water pressure so they told us we could get a full refund if we found a new spot or 1/2 if we stayed there. We found a new spot and they refunded us 1/3. It rained and there were leaks all over the front room so we had to put pots and pans everywhere. I would not stay here

The house overall was fine. The lightbulbs were LED bright white fluorescent and lamps shades were shredded along with several faucets missing their hot & cold tabs. The location, however, is amongst the town that plays club music so very loudly until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. No sound machine was loud enough to mask this. Then there is construction next door — so while in pool the saw mill sound is 7 feet away. Was a chic house ten years ago when we rented. Has gone down.

Gut: Sauberkeit
The Jewelbox location is very convenient - right in the heart of the city and walking distance to the grocery store, liquor store, shops, restaurants and bars. However, there is a night club behind it and you can hear the music until around 2 am so be aware if you are a light sleeper. The pictures of the pool are a bit deceiving. It is only a small square - more like the size of hot tub.You can sit in it, but not swim in it. The house is cute and clean and the appliances are nice. The bedrooms are comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately, we did not have running water for over half of our stay - a combination of an island water system issue and a house issue. We had to use an adjacent house our group had also rented for all bathroom and water needs for the first 3 days of our stay (that house had its own water storage so it was never out of water). Apparently water and power outages occur frequently on the island so make sure you understand if the home you are renting has contingency plans for either. If the water is running, the house would be fine. We just had a really tough experience and frustrations were high by the end of our trip.

The host was very communicative and accomodating. With that said, the photos are not representative at all. This house is rundown in and out. It was clean and had everything we needed but it was sad to see a beautiful home so run down. The furniture was worn out, paint chipping and the outdoor space was so sparce compared to what was presented. We were told there would be light housekeeping everyday but Sunday, but when contacting her she said she couldn't help one day (not a Sunday) because she was too busy. We were very neat so we weren't asking for a lot. Also, the owner should mention that there is a night club directly behind the house that blasts music from 9-2 am. We absolutely love Harbour Island and will be back but only to Jewelbox if they do some TLC to the place.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!

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

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!!

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.
