Om dette overnattingsstedet
Touchstone Cottage på Beachside - Tropical 1 Acre Property
Touchstone Cottage ligger på en 1 hektar stor tropisk og ekspansiv eiendom midt på øya. TS Cottage ligger rett øst for Romora Bay Marina, gjemt i like bak sanddynen og ca 100 meter fra den berømte rosa sandstranden. Du kan høre havet fra den fremre terrassen. TS hytte har nylig hatt en vakker makeover i oktober 2018, som besto av fersk maling innvendig og utvendig, nymalt kjøkken, 3 splitter nye split-enheter AC er installert, og nye interiør og utemøbler. TS's Cottage er utstyrt med en backup generator på eiendommen som starter automatisk hvis bystyrken går ut, gratis rengjøring en gang i uken, vaskeritjenester til en liten avgift, eiendomsforvaltning og landskapsarbeid to ganger i uken. TS's Cottage ligger også ved siden av Touchstone's House VRBO notering 948739 - langt nok unna for total privatliv å leie separat, men nær nok til å leie som en duo, perfekt for store familier eller venner turer. Vennligst ta kontakt for eventuelle spørsmål du måtte ha. Det ville være vår glede å hjelpe deg med å planlegge en uforglemmelig tur til denne fantastiske øya.

This was our first time to Harbour Island and Karina helped make the trip a success. The cottage is cozy and the outdoor space quite magical. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor shower, played games on the porch and felt quite at home. The house was welcoming and well appointed. The beach was perfect and so close we found ourselves going multiple times a day. I highly recommend the cottage and would trust the owners with any suggestions or other rentals. Thanks so much for a truly amazing stay.
This was our fifth visit to Harbor Island and was hands down the best, most relaxing accommodations we've experienced. The cottage is welcoming, bright, and decorated comfortably and with style. Karina and Neka were responsive and ensured that we were all set, even checking in during our stay to see if we needed anything. As a family of five traveling with three young children it was the perfect spot. My husband and I could read on the porch while listening to the ocean while the kids played in the yard and collected coconuts. The beach is less then a minute from the cottage and is a serene beach with no one around making it feel like your own. We also enjoyed that it was quiet, outside the nosier "town" of Harbor Island which offers more privacy also. We don't have one complaint and plan to book another stay at the cottage for next year!
Touchstone cottage was a great home base for our family in our first visit to Harbour Island. We loved the layout of the house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms - perfect for our family of four - and the open kitchen/family room. Really my only issue was that the laundry line was located in the shade, so the beach towels did not ever really dry off. It would have been wonderful to have more towels on site to take to the beach / use in bathroom or have them replaced at some point during our stay. Otherwise was truly a wonderful stay!
Our experience at Touchstone cottage was incredible from the very start. Even prior to our arrival, Karina reached out to help us feel fully prepared for our trip. She put us in touch with everyone that we needed (a crib rental for our toddler, the golf cart rental, dinner reservation recommendations, our cab driver, etc.). She was so kind and welcoming and made herself available throughout our stay.
The property itself was exactly as pictured. The yard was fantastic and well kept and the cottage was so charming. They had everything that we needed from the kitchen to the beach equipment (chairs, towels, sand toys for the kids, an umbrella, etc.). Our two children (ages 5 and 2) had the best time playing in the yard and on the beach. I’d been curious how it would work with two homes on the property, but the yard is spacious and trees offer lots of privacy.
Everyone on the island was very friendly and welcoming. We ventured out for golf cart rides around town and to go out to eat. The island is very small and charming and we loved exploring.
The beach is truly like no other. It is beyond gorgeous. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves most days with just a few other families or people walking by periodically. The sand truly is pink! And the sunsets were like none we’ve ever seen before.
We have been completely charmed by Harbour Island, but especially by Touchstone. We could not have asked for a better experience and we will most definitely be back!!
Our family enjoyed the most relaxing week at Karina and David’s cottage and we will definitely be back. The cottage felt clean and cozy when we arrived. Karina and David were very present and made sure we had everything we needed. The beach was a quick, easy walk (even our independent 1 year old could do the walk by herself). Our 4 and 6 year olds enjoyed hours of boogie boarding and building sand castles and found all the toys they could need provided! Neka and Clint were like fairy godparents helping with housekeeping in the mornings and had a crib rental set up and ready for us. Kitchen was well equipped for kids’ meals. Enjoyed the outdoor shower and the lush well kept yard as well. Special thank you to David for giving us a fish he caught spear fishing - cleaned and ready to grill and enjoy.
We had an amazing week on Harbor Island staying at Touchstone's Cottage. The cottage was so charming and the grounds were beautiful. Karina and David are two of the nicest people and are wonderful hosts. They have really thought of everything to make their guests feel right at home. We're already looking forward to next year!
Touchstone Cottage is the loveliest little piece of paradise on Harbor Island. Sitting on a large property, and very private, with beautiful lawn and landscaping, plenty of shady trees, and a hammock that got a lot of time from my crew in afternoons. You can hear the ocean from porch and smell the sea air, and walk to the pink sands beach in a couple minutes! Perfectly located with a very special "old island" vibe with wonderful historic books lining the shelves and fun an creative art. This was our 3rd stay in the cottage and it''s been beautifully re-decorated, maintaining the charm with sweet little vintage pieces here and there. I just absolutely ADORE this cottage, I'm hesitant to say too much bc I want it all to myself! Comfortable for family of 4, or a little romantic hide-a-away for 2. Close to everything.. marinas, town, restaurants and shopping, but I feel such sense of calm each time I return and drive down the the little dirt path back to the cottage. It is quiet and clean and just oh so special! Could not give a higher recommendation. I'll be back very very soon!
We enjoyed our stay in Touchstone's Cottage. The property owner and the staff on site were kind and helpful. The initial materials we were sent with info on Harbour Island dining, shopping, excursions, etc... was comprehensive and invaluable. Then when we arrived, everything was exactly as we expected. We were able to message with the property staff during out stay when we needed something. The best part of the property though, is its proximity to the beach. The walk is VERY short, which is perfect with young kids. I highly recommend Touchstone's Cottage and hope we will come back ourselves.
We absolutely loved our time at Touchstone — incredible property. Karina was an amazing host!!
Mix in stone crabs, fresh coconut, pristine pink sand beach within steps, outdoor shower, sweet neighbors, a goat farm across the street, chickens, sea turtles, golf carts, boat tour, and everything perfectly explained in advance, and you have the perfect family vacation.
We highly recommend to anyone looking for an unmatched time at Harbour Island. You can tell how much time has gone into making everything easy. So grateful that we picked Touchstone!!
This property is perfect for a family with two small children! A one minute walk to the beach can’t be beat. The house was clean and fully stocked like listed. Would stay here again in the future!
Only downside - no washer and dryer. It was difficult to get beach towels to dry for the next adventure especially during rainy season.
My husband and I stayed at Touchstone’s Cottage for our 2nd annual trip to Harbour Island. David and Karina are absolutely lovely and made us feel right at home. If you are looking for a stay that feels authentic to Harbour Island, you can’t beat their cottage and I’m sure the house on the property is equally as lovely. They truly thought of everything and the decor is perfection.
We had an amazing stay at the Touchstone Cottage, and everything was perfect - the home is unique, thoughtfully stocked and in an unbeatable location on the island. Karina and David were welcoming and lovely, and it would take more than a few beers to hear their full life stories. They were very responsive, both before our trip when we had some VRBO booking issues as well as throughout our stay, providing us realtime info on the best local places to visit and eat. The property was perfect for our family; we were easily able to rent a crib from Neka for our infant and it was there upon our arrival.
In addition to the well appointed house, the yard is an amazing asset. After a day on the beach, we found hanging out on the porch, hammock or on a blanket in the backyard to be very way to wind down. We will definitely return.
Touchstone Cottage is a true gem!
I have stayed at Touchstone’s Cottage with my family for spring break in the past but decided this year to getaway with fellow friends to take some time for myself and refill my emotional bucket! And needless to say - this was the perfect trip! The cottage is well appointed and decorated to ensure a relaxing peaceful retreat. Karina is a fantastic host and the cottage is well stocked with anything you may need to ensure the best stay. All you need is a bathing suit and a good book! I highly recommend Touchstone for a family getaway with the littles / teenagers or couples too. But this time around for me the solo respite to promote a little self-care hit the spot! Nobody does it better than Touchstone! And you can’t miss out on the pink sand, warm sunshine and clear blue ocean! All sent me back feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Thank you Karina! 🔆🐚🌸🌴⛱
This sweet cottage was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Harbour Island. As other reviewers have noted, it is so well maintained and clean; and just authentically cozy. We loved the little details - dimmer switches on the kitchen lights, the little "pay if forward" bar, the straw hat library (I hope that's what it was meant for!), the lovely beach towels, and actually great beds. All of this (and more) made it very easy to settle into for a week. Karina and Neka were a pleasure to work with, so kind and responsive! Overall, the property is gorgeous and private, and those lounge chairs are nap-inducing! It is steps to the most beautiful beach I've ever seen - which we essentially had to ourselves. Staying at Touchstone's Cottage was special, we had the most relaxing vacation in recent memory. Thank you Karina! We hope to return soon :)
We could not be happier with our stay at the cottage! The house was clean and tastefully decorated. It was the perfect size and layout for me, my husband and 3 yr. old. The yard was beautifully cared for and the location was fantastic. It’s a quiet area of the island, yet 5 minutes to everything. I can’t imagine a more beautiful beach to have access to. Karina was an excellent host in covering anything we would need to know for the trip. Before we left, we had already started planning when we could come back to this magical island and property.
Pros: Proximity to beach, 2 min walk was great. Beds super comfy. Great outdoor area for kids to run around, loved the outdoor shower and beach toys/chairs were a nice bonus! Kitchen well stocked. We had a few rainy colder days so staying in and watching Netflix on the plush couches was nice. Neka was responsive, Karina checked in on us upon arrival which was courteous. Their recommendation for Tyman Charters was on point.
Things to note: on our last day (one of the few days that was beach weather) we wanted to go back to the beach in the afternoon and realized all our beach towels except one had been taken during housekeeping that morning. Not sure why they were removed as they were much needed towels, maybe it was a mistake, but would have been nice to have them. Also, there are luxury villas behind the property with outdoor speakers on the units and a few afternoons when we were hoping to hang out in the peaceful yard, we were met with party music for the afternoon, and into the evening/bedtime one night we could hear the base of the music in our bedrooms (until 11pm). Not exactly tranquil vibes. Also, the landscaper mowing the lawn one of the days just sat in our yard scrolling and watching videos on his phone at full volume for almost 45mins, it was kind of odd, then he got up and left.
Overall, I’d recommend this property though, but the villa music for us (although not the property’s fault of course) was a deal breaker for us.
Wonderful bungalow cottage that had everything we needed
The cottage was perfect for our family, it has a comfortable layout and spacious kitchen. We had everything we needed for cooking meals, relaxing in the living room or on the breezy veranda. The outdoor shower is great. The well maintained grounds are lush and beautiful, and our young kids loved running around when we weren’t at the beach. The beach is just a minute walk away and very easy to get to. The cottage feels very private and quiet. We had a great stay!
The Touchstone Cottage was perfect for us! We had a special Christmas there with our family of four. Neka was wonderful making sure our tree was delivered. Karina was great to work with and gave excellent recommendations. We loved the location, proximity to the beach, and the coziness of the cottage. It rained a few nights, so we stayed in and watched movies on the comfy couches. My daughter and I had massages on the patio listening to the birds and roosters. The beautiful, lush yard helped it feel secluded and private. The outdoor shower was great too! Overall, we would highly recommend this property!
Where to begin. We'll definitely be back. Our stay was perfect, the property was extremely well kept and clean at all times. Honestly it was better in person than the listing portrays. We had a very smooth experience throughout our stay, from check-in to check-out. The hosts were friendly and responsive to any questions we had. We took their recommendation on TyMan Charters for our day with Turtles, Pigs, Stingrays and Starfish and Michael-Cycles for our golf car rental. The location is perfect, steps to the beach and close enough to the main part of town and dining. Very close to Fran's Place fry shack (green building on the side of the road) Shout out to Fran!
We couldn't believe that everything went so well, it was really paradise.
My husband and 2 boys (age 4 & 6) stayed at touchstone for a week during the fourth of July. It was the best family vacation we have been on! Perfect cottage for all our needs and felt like home! Karina & her husband are so easy to get in touch with and take incredible care of their property! The bedding is high quality and great mattresses! We will be booking another stay in the future! I highly recommend!
We had the best time staying at Touchstone Cottage. We spent 7 days in Harbour Island with our two kids age 6 and 7. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen allowed us to cook meals together, eat breakfast on the porch, walk to the beach twice a day, relax on the hammock and more! This adorable and collected cottage is perfection!!

We will be back!
What a wonderful week we had at the Touchstone Cottage! The property is so beautiful with great landscape and a space for young children to play and explore. My family loved the ease of a vacation home vs. resort, especially this one. The home was just as described in pictures and reviews and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were checked on by both hosts, Karina and David, as well as the house staff, Neka and Clint. The location is in a perfect spot - easy to get to town quickly and the beach is literally a stone’s throw. In addition, we found the town and locals to be so enjoyable. We will be back!
My husband and I have stayed at Touchstone Cottage for the last few years and decided to bring our 4 & 6 year old. They are already asking to go back next year!
The cottage provides so many amenities that really make traveling with kids so much easier. Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, etc were all provided which saved us from having to rent anything.
One major plus that we didn't realize until we talked to several other families staying around the island was the ability to have A/C throughout the whole house. Many rentals only have A/C in the bedrooms which makes it a little tough with the heat and humidity. The cottage has A/C throughout the whole house so it is comfortable after a long day on the beach as well as sleeping at night.
The property itself is located so close to the beach that we were able to run up for breaks, lunch etc and avoided the inconvenience of packing everything up to travel back to a house closer to town. The yard was a huge plus and our kids spent a lot of time running around, throwing footballs, chasing lizards and roosters, and even made friends with the goats across the street.
Another service that we were able to take advantage of was laundry! Traveling with kids also means more dirty clothes but Touchstone offers a laundry service so we were able to wash a lot of our clothes mid stay and didn't have to travel with ocean soaked bathing suits!
So incredibly thankful for the little hidden gem of a house!
Everything about this island is beautiful, including this adorable cottage and property. This home has everything needed for a beach vacation. Can't wait to come back and stay longer!
