We have been to Harbour Island many, many times over the past 10 years. This trip was especially important because our daughter got married at The Otherside. We could not have been happier with our decision to rent the Aralia House. It’s a special private oasis that is immaculately decorated and maintained. Its location makes it ideal for getting anywhere on the island. The house manager, Laurel and house keeper, Rose were very accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Christmas on Harbour Island

Our family for four had a wonderful holiday at Aralia House on Harbour Island. We were so comfortable and the house was perfect accommodations for the four of us. Loved the convenience to beach and town via golf cart. Had amazing meals and walks on the beach! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy Aralia House. Merry Christmas and best in 2024.

Lovely Getaway Cottage

We had fun at beautiful Aralia House. We loved all the indoor & outdoor spaces. The whole property is so welcoming & relaxing. Thanks to your information guide we booked some incredible dinners out. All of it was fun; from exploring the island on a golf cart to taking long beautiful walks on the beach. We were charmed by the island & enchanted by your sweet cottage. Thank you so much. We had a lovely vacation.

We had the best experience at the Aralia House!! We had 4 couples celebrating a 40th birthday and there was plenty of space (plus 2 extra rooms!).The property itself is huge - maybe one of the larger properties on the island, with 3 houses, a pool area, and a huge grassy hill which would have been awesome if we had kids in tow. Katherine the owner was the most communicative and helpful host I've ever worked with, and Laurel, the concierge was incredibly helpful while we were there! The daily housekeeping was a fantastic and unexpected touch for a house rental. The decor was elevated and gorgeous and everyone agreed the beds were fantastic! Location was central to everything - truly this house was 10/10. We hope to be back!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Aralia House! It was the perfect setup for two families plus babysitter in the 3rd cottage. The location was great and we loved the easy access to the beach. Ms. V’s beach bar and chair setups were right at the access which made it really easy. The grounds of the home are expansive and gave us plenty of room for the kids to play. The house manager Laurel was great to work with before and during our stay. The housekeeper Rose was lovely! Having daily cleaning was such a wonderful benefit. The kitchens had everything we needed and Laurel set us up with a wonderful concierge, Lorria, who stocked groceries before our stay. She is also available to assist with transfers and other planning needs. This was one of the best family vacations we’ve had and we look forward to visiting again!

Dream House

Aralia House is an absolutely beautiful property, and we so enjoyed our week there. The property was exactly as advertised and more. The house/property was spacious, very well kept, and well-appointed with so many little special extras. The outdoor living/entertaining/dining space was phenomenal and truly epitomized outdoor living at its best. The house staff made sure everything was just perfect with daily housekeeping and yard service. Rose, our housekeeper, went above and beyond even placing fresh flowers throughout the house. The property location is perfect, minutes from the shops, restaurants, resorts, and just a short golf cart ride to the beach. The host was so easy to work with and went above and beyond to meet our needs. We hope to return soon!

It is a beautiful property ..... and it is very close to restaurants and the ferry dock, and if you are a diver, very close to Valentines.Early in our reservation process, I communicated with the owner directly. Catherine was extremely helpful. She answered many questions I had and sent me a copy of the information brochure. We did use Majors golf carts, one of her suggestions, and they were great!The only complaints were (especially for the males in our family) was that there was not a dedicated steaming channel so they could watch the soccer games. It was a challenge for them to watch a game without interruption. The power goes off pretty much daily on Harbour Island, and they would loose access to the game. Also, we were not able to check in until about 6:30p as they were still cleaning.I would suggest adding to the property description, that the house with the 2 twin beds and a master, it should be noted that the bedrooms are upstairs. It was only a small issue for us because my husband had injured his knee....we just swapped with another family member in the main house....We would definitely go back to this house, it’s beautiful and a great location... thanks Catherine for all your help!

So glad you enjoyed the property. I appreciate the suggestion of mentioning the bedrooms in the main house are upstairs and have added that to the listing. Also glad you were able to adjust and find a comfortable solution. Unfortunate timing with the soccer as our Starlink has a battery back up that went bad during your stay, which we have since replaced. Thank you for your feedback!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is fantastic—close to everything in town while still feeling peaceful and private. The newly added guest cottage is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and a great addition to the property. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with meticulous landscaping and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Everything was well maintained, comfortable, and welcoming. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

In town gem

Our family of 4 (two adults, two boys) stayed at Aralia House for a week in March. We had a wonderful time. The house was immaculate and is beautifully decorated. The house manager, Laurel, was very helpful and responsive. The house is convenient to everything. Next door is a coffee shop and the grocery store is right down the road. We rented a golf cart for the week and spent most days on the beach renting chairs from Tee Jays. We stayed in a few nights and barbecued—sitting out back in the coconut grove eating dinner is so relaxing. The covered porch out back is the perfect place to relax post beach and read or have a cocktail. I highly recommend Aralia House!

Aralia House was lovely: well-maintained, chicly decorated with a wonderful manager.

We had a great visit to Harbor Island. Located in town, diagonally across from Bahama House, Aralia House is simply but beautifully restored and decorated. The home is well-appointed and has an outstanding manager and housekeeper who were very helpful in locating anything extra we requested, from cart rentals to a private chef. Highly recommend.

We love Aralia House!

We had a wonderful time at Aralia House! The home is decorated beautifully, furnishings are lovely. The outdoor space is perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The yard is so much bigger than imagined and perfect for young kids to run around and explore. My daughter loved the outdoor swing. The inside is charming and cute and quintessential island vibe. The beds are very comfortable as well which makes a huge difference while traveling. Communication with the property manager was stellar. Daily housekeeping was the icing on the cake, as well. Just a lovely stay – – hope to be back to beautiful Harbour Island very soon!
