About this property
Beautiful Harbourside Property with Pool on Water + Private Dock
Large mediterranean style villa with expansive water views over the harbour.
It can be rented alone to sleep up to 11 or with it's small guest house, The Blue Bungalow (VRBO 3200224) that would allow for 13.
The Blue Ruin is well situated right in Dunmore Town with incredible views of the water, and includes 4 charming bedrooms, each with a newly renovated private bath. Nestled into lush vegetation at the edge of the bay it offers complete privacy while being very close to several of the islands best restaurants. The property also include the islands first saltwater pool, a relaxing pool deck with harbor views and a private dock that comes with two kayaks for your use as well as a fun new swings that hang over the water off the dock.
Enter the property through a beautiful arched wooden doorway into a lushly landscaped courtyard with a dining table and access to the guest bedrooms, living room and kitchen. Past the front courtyard you walk into the airy living room with 20' ceilings and the original pickled-cypress walls. Adjoining the living room is the dining room and access to the bar/tv room, outdoor pavilion and master suite. Access to the guest wing is also available via the master suite . The outdoor pavilion provides beautiful views from both it's dining and seating areas and is a great place to watch the activity in the harbor and on the government dock. Below the outside porch, you will find the first saltwater pool on Harbour Island and steps leading you down to the dock where you can sit and watch turtles, manatees and rays go by!
The view across the bay to Eleuthera is beautiful, especially at sunset, and to the right is the charming waterfront and town dock. Swim in the pool and watch boats coming and going. The Blue Ruin’s location makes it perfect for walking along Bay Street and to some of the island’s best restaurants.
Daily house cleaning and gardening services are provided (Sunday excluded) Private chefs for dinners can be arranged as well.
Additionally, a new reverse-osmosis water system and generator are provided for the guests comfort.
Guests have full access and use of the property. We are always available to answer any questions and can help arrange anything you need while staying on the island.
Power and water can be major issues on Harbour Island. Power currently comes from 'temporary' diesel generators and the service has regular interruptions. Fresh water comes from Eleuthera via underwater pipeline and the aging of the pipe has caused the water to have an extremely high salt content. For these reasons, The Blue Ruin provides backup power via it's own diesel generator and a reverse-osmosis water system to filter and treat the water supply.
The property is approximately 10 to 12 minutes walking distance to the beach and most of the island is very walkable. Renting a golf cart for a day or for your whole stay is a great way to have access to the whole island and is a fun way to get around and sightsee.
Please note: A one-week minimum stay is required during Christmas/New Year’s and Spring Break.

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Malloy

We are the third generation of our family to love and enjoy Harbour Island and we all grew up visiting this special place from when we were babies. It's our family home and from time to time we rent it to guests who will treat it as much. While we love parties, this is not the house for you. It's the best house to watch incredible sunsets, turtles, and curl up with a book from the extensive library.
