Beautiful villa

Chatterbox is a beautiful well kept house. It's ideally and centrally located; everything is within walking distance. It's close to the beach, supermarket, wine and liquor stores, top restaurants, bakeries and local conch and fish shacks. Service was super and communication channels with the host was excellent. No question was too insignificant to answer. The house was clean and fully furnished with top of the line appliances and amenities. We will definitely be back!

Exceptionally charming and elegant home

It was a pleasure to stay in this exceptionally charming and elegant home to celebrate and create special memories. We loved having drinks and snacks on the stunning balconies and large widow’s walk with spectacular views. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern and professional appliances. Extremely friendly daily room service and the on call local staff does all laundry, shopping and anything we needed nearly instantly. Steps away from shopping, cafés and restaurants. We had an absolutely fantastic time and are definitely coming back.

Chatterbox is darling!

My family absolutely loved our week stay in Chatterbox. The house is so cool - old, full of charm, and lovely decor. Plenty of space for my family of 5. My 3 girls loved their upstairs bedrooms. We loved the location - directly across the street from the grocery store, an easy golf cart ride to the beach, and a block away from Daddy D's :)

House in Disrepair - Worn and Dirty

In 2021, my family had an incredible stay at this property. The house was incredibly well kept. When we returned in June 2023, we were disappointed to find that the house was under new ownership and had not been maintained. The house was covered in mildew, and all of the furniture was stained (even the bedding). There was a crib and trash from the previous renters on the front porch, not to mention a broken fridge in the backyard. We were told the upstairs porch could not be used due to ants. The wifi nor music system was working. There were no complete sets of drinkware (e.g., coffee mugs, wine glasses). Some of the outside furniture was broken. Our visit came to an end after just 24 hours. During our first night in the house, there was a storm. There were leaks everywhere - both bedrooms upstairs, the hallway upstairs, and the living room downstairs. And there was mold / mildew and separating wood that suggested these were not new leaks. We used nearly every clean towel and beach towel in the house to mop up water. The worst was the upstairs bedroom with double beds. The water was rushing through the windows displaying two of our family that night. We reported this incident and checked out the next day. Lastly, the host was totally unresponsive. I initiated contact the day prior to our check-in. The day of our check-in, I messaged her two or three times and did not get a response. During the storm, I called and messaged - no answer. Even VRBO could not get in contact.

Disappointment is an understatement!

Everything from deferred maintenance (too much to mention) to dirty areas (front patio, floor & floor coverings, upholstery, linens, etc) and devoid of basic necessities (flashlights, candles, dinner knives, napkins, proper cooking utensils, full sets of pots & pans, etc.) this property needs serious improvement! While the property has old world cottage charm, this feature alone does not make up for the overall deficiencies and lack of owner accountability. Chattterbox was a huge disappointment to say the least!

Great Location

For those looking to be just steps from stores and a short walk to the best bar and restaurant on the island, this house is a great choice! We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the upper deck - and there was enough room for us all to spread out. Pink Sands is a very short ride away. The property manager was very helpful and responsive and we really appreciated her!

probably very cute once

We rented this vintage cottage going by the photos, description and previous reviews. I'm sure the cottage was really cute when it was first renovated but it needs a LOT of TLC. Linens were dingy upholstery was stained and there was an overall grime and smell to the place. We had a tremendous roof and window leak during one of the rain showers. We checked out a day early and contacted the house manager and owner who assured me they would remedy the situation immediately and I trust they have. I would get assurance that these things have been taken care of before renting this house. The location is directly in front of the Pigly Wiggly which can be busy during the day so if you are looking for a quiet location this is not the spot.

Hi Nailini, I meant to email you last week just to let you know we had a wonderful time on Harbour Island and just loved your home! It worked out so well for our family - we loved it! We loved the location and being able to walk to town and to the beach and it was so convenient being right across from the Pigly Wigly! Thank you for having beach chairs! You were always so responsive and helpful and everything you recommended for our trip was great. Hope we can go back again someday! Thank you, Jennifer"

Could use a good cleaning

I rented Chatterbox because of the on line photos. While Trish Becker did a wonderful job with remodel and decor, the property is in need of TLC both inside and out. This property is under new ownership and could possibly have something to do with up keep. Daily house keeping is included and only came one time the entire week. If I return to Harbour Island there are other properties I would consider.

Chatterbox

Our family very much enjoyed our time in this lovely home! Because the aesthetics are so charming we found ourselves content to linger at home some even though the beach is easily accessible with a short golf car ride. The location is convenient to everything we needed with grocery store, wine store, and restaurants nearby. We hope to stay here again in the future...already missing time on the porch with coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening.

Heaven on Briland

We just returned from our week on Harbour Island and Chatterbox was the perfect place for our family vacation! The decor is perfect and the location was ideal for our family - in the center of everything, yet a 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach. We have three young children and the ability to walk across the street to the Pigly Wigly to pick up whatever we needed or down the street for a bottle of wine was wonderful. This is definitely a destination for people who like to be "in the mix," not secluded (always our preference when we stay anywhere). We are already planning our next trip. Thank you for having us!

First visit to Harbour Island

The ultimate beach house! Beautifully decorated, yet comfortable (think sandy feet). Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children, and conveniently located right next to the grocery store, liquor store, a restaurant, and golf cart rentals. Our family fell in love with the island on this trip and cannot wait to visit again! Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Loved it!

Chatterbox is charming! The beds were comfortable with luxury linens. The kitchen was well-equipped with an espresso machine, blender, serving dishes, linens, to-go cups, anything you could want. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor spaces…coffee on the roof and cocktails on the side porch. The house is beautifully & thoughtfully decorated. The location was convenient to everything, especially The Pigly Wigly. We felt safe and would definitely rent again and recommend to friends!

Perfect Location!

We loved Chatterbox! It's pretty pink color first attracted me but the layout was perfect for our family. We all had plenty of space but the common areas were large and roomy for all of us to be in together. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance you need to cook up a good meal. We bought groceries several nights and cooked dinner "at home" instead of going out. The location is perfect - within walking distance to Bay Street, just a short golf cart ride away from the beach and directly across the street from the Pigly Wigly grocery. Great place to stay!!

Great house!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Chatterbox. It is a lovely home that has been impeccably renovated. Nice extra touches like hotel-quality guest toiletries and a surprise Christmas tree (our stay was at the beginning of December) reflected an approach to home rental that was both professional and welcoming. The house is very well-appointed (kitchenware, TV/cable, etc.) and the a/c and wifi work really well. Chatterbox is in the heart of town, so it is bustling during the day, but it really quiets down at night. The house manager is extremely responsive and we were very grateful to her for all the assistance along the way, including with some last minute requests. Thank you Nalini!

A lot to love

The property is quaint and the decor is beautiful. The kitchen is out fitted nicely. I could easily see renting this place for a month to soak in the wonderful Bahamian lifestyle and have the time to fully appreciate the community. As it was our first time to island, my only suggestion would be to help newbies navigate more - like a welcome book that would help with cultural customs, places to check out, how to check them out, it was fun exploring, but this would have helped us jump in a bit more quickly. I also think having chairs on roof top deck would be nice, the view is great up there. Also, more keys are needed, we found having one key was difficult. But these are only suggestions for the new property owners, overall the stay was excellent, and the house charming.

Everything went perfect. The house is a beautiful and extremely well laid out cottage with a very cheerful vibe. It is pretty convenient to be right next to the grocery too. The caretakers are wonderful and having access to a washer and dryer really makes things handy. Highly recommended.
