You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

BREATHTAKING : on water front with panoramic views + pool + dock

This high-end luxury home with separate guest cottage can be booked either as a 3-bed/3-bath (for up to 6 people) or 5-bed/5-bath rental (for parties of 10). The price quoted is for booking the main house only. If your party is more than 6 please ask for an updated quotation to include the guest cottage. The additional rental is $500/ night. We have a single rate only for Xmas/New Year. The guest cottage is never rented out separately. We do try to be flexible on our minimum stay settings so it is ALWAYS worth asking if we can accommodate. For check-in or check-out on a Sunday we add a $200 supplement.

Charter a course in the warm turquoise ocean waters to your own secure dock slip with direct private access to your property just 100' from the water's edge. Please ask about dockage fees if you are arriving by private boat. You will find the house comes equipped with AC, reverse osmosis water, generator, cable, wi-fi, maid service, and many other amenities. We also have a safe in every room.

If it is your first time visiting Harbour Island please ask for a copy of our Little Gems about Harbour Island booklet which we can email to you in .pdf format. It has all sorts of useful snippets of information which can help with your holiday planning.

The open plan arrangement with high spec kitchen, dining and sitting areas makes for a very, very social space. Beautiful outdoor spaces all add to the feeling of staying in a beautiful comfortable home with a real family feel about it. Built in 2007 the 10’ x 40’ windows provide a unique panoramic view over the bayside from every view point and the serpentine wrap-around pool provides a cool relief from the heat of the beach and an ideal retreat to watch some of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see. Pool can be heated on request for supplemental fee.

Positioned almost at the water's edge, the property has its own private dock available to all our guests. A short 5-minute cart ride and you can be on the pink sands beach. Truly the best of both worlds ...

Definitely worth high-lighting 2 must-haves!

- Emergency power generator (power interruptions can be frequent)
- Reverse Osmosis water purification

The house and guest cottage also comes with high-speed WiFi, Cable TV and air-conditioning. Our internet package gives you 75 mb/s download speed and 15 mb/s upload speed which is good for Zoom and conference calling.

For families with young children we have a cot and high chair.

The White House is an exceptional rental property and very popular, especially with families with children. One of six luxury residences set in just over 2 acres on the Sunset Harbour Estate with its own private deep water dock capable of docking boats from 30 to 120ft and draft to 9ft. The resort offers individual seclusion and privacy whilst benefiting from a shared full-time Estate Manager and maintenance staff. Designed in true Bahamian style by top Nassau architect Monty Knowles and built by Bahamian craftsmen. We have a second house on the Sunset Harbour Estate (Seabreeze) which is ideal for rental parties of 10 - 20 in total. Ideal for wedding parties who wish to book out both properties. VRBO listing no. 1716093

A great trip to paradise!
We loved our stay at the White House! The pool was heated to the perfect temperature, the house was clean (and cleaned daily, which was amazing!) and the information before arrival was clear and direct. We can’t wait to come back!

Special Birthday Celebration in Beautiful Harbour Island
The home's location was great - close to town, and having the dock was great. The floorpan was perfect for sharing special times with our family. Anita, the property manager, was so helpful and accessible. Shabba and Shalese were friendly and helpful also. Thank you.

Amazing Harbour Island stay
This was our first visit to Harbour Island and the White House on Colebrook Road was amazing and perfect for our group of 10. It was such a short distance to everyplace on the island, the house and views were amazing, and access to the water taxi incredible. The house and pool were so perfect for our group of 6 adults, two twenty-somethings, and 2 little kids. We had plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the sun and the pool, swim off the dock, and access the beach via walking or golf cart. And only a 5 min walk to Cocoa Coffee. Anita was so responsive and helpful and we hope to return again soon. Thank you so much for a great stay!!!

Five Star Stay at the White House
Our stay at the White House could not have been better. We traveled with 5 adult couples, so the bedroom/bathroom setup was perfect. Shabba and Shalese did excellent job of keeping the house, pool and premises clean. Anita was very responsive and helpful during the booking process and in answering questions about the property and the island. The recommendations in the Arrival Information Pack provided by Anita were spot on (especially the boat charter with Ryan at Spanish Wells Fishing - the full day island tour with Ryan was amazing). The convenience of being dropped off and picked up at our own private dock was a huge added bonus. Prior to our trip, we were aware of the one or two negative reviews about the property, but the criticisms in those reviews were not experienced by us. When we return to Harbour Island, we would absolutely stay at the White House again...the entire trip was a 5 Star experience!

Great location!
We really did enjoy the house and its proximity to to the dock for boat trips as well as its positioning to "town"/ restaurants (very close). The house was well equipped and the rooms were super clean! The driveway is large and can fit many golf carts if needed. The only downfall for us was that the pool was shaded all day and we wanted lots of sun. Great house and the property manager was FAB! --Sabra, West Palm Beach Florida
