Touchstone's House on Beachside - Tropical 1 Acre Property.

Touchstone's House lies on a lush and expansive 1-acre tropical property. The house is east of Romora Bay Marina, beach-side, tucked in just behind the dune, adjacent to the pink sand beach. You can hear the waves crashing from every part of the home. The house is 70 casual steps away from the famous Pink Sand Beach. The house adorns original, hand-made, hand-painted Cuban tiles from the '50s. The home has the perfect combination of rustic and polished with modern features, like brand new split unit AC's in every room, Amazon Firestick & RokuTV, & Wireless Internet. The home has 4 huge outdoor entertaining spaces, perfect for BBQs and dinner parties.
TS’s House also lies adjacent to Touchstone’s Cottage VRBO listing # 333247 - far enough away for total privacy to rent separately yet close enough together to rent as a duo, perfect for large families or groups of friends.
Harbour Island is only 4.5 miles long by half a mile wide; everything is quickly accessible by golf cart. The house comes equipped with all of your beach necessities. Children and baby supplies can be rented through the housekeeper, please inquire. Daily housekeeping is included. *Note - We recommend purchasing travel insurance.
The home and property are inspired by world travelers and lovers of the ocean, and it would be our pleasure to help you create an unforgettable stay on this special island.

Can’t wait to return to Touchstone House!

Our family had a wonderful time on Harbour Island!! We’d love to return next year and head right back to Touchstone House. The property is beautiful, very close to the beach and had everything we needed to make it feel like home away from home. Thank you, Karina!

The Dreamiest Escape

This was truly one of our family’s most memorable family vacations 〰 Karina was so attentive and every step of our stay was truly wonderful. The house is even better than it looks online. Beautifully styled, clean, comfortable and just literal steps to the beach. We loved the staff who came for housekeeping and to garden daily. We enjoyed fresh coconuts from the yard daily…and enjoyed rum cocktails on the porch each afternoon. We will absolutely be back as soon as we are able. Thank you to Karina for making this such an easy, comfortable and beautiful experience. The Goin Family x

Highly recommend

Harbour Island is such a magical place. This was our first time to the island, and certainly will not be the last. Karina and David's place was the perfect home base for our little family of 4. It is cozy and beautifully decorated. You are right next to the beach, yet a short (5 min) golf cart ride to restaurants and shops in town. We loved the outdoor shower! Karina was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants, activities, even a masseuse who came right to the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Magical stay in Harbour Island

My family had the most incredible time staying at Touchstone in Harbour Island for spring break. We have been dreaming of this trip for years and it did not disappoint. The home is steps to the pink sand beach and filled with so many charming touches and details. We will be talking about our special memories made at this home for years to come. Thank you to Karina and the whole team for such an unforgettable trip ❤️❤️
