My family and I loved staying at The Convent! The house is more than charming ----decorated with beautiful Swedish antiques---and even with it being decorated with the very expensive antiques, it still keeps a definite feeling of a very livable and relaxing beach house. Swedish antiques have very clean, simple lines with no fuss so it all feels very open and refreshing. The house has many outdoor spaces and we used all of them! I always had breakfast in the small garden patio outside of the dining area. In the late afternoons, we sat on the patio overlooking the main street so we could watch the people going by either walking or riding in golf carts. A great way to see the local Bahamian natives! We used the patio overlooking the pool when we came in from the beach . We could take a dip in the pool rinsing off the salt and sand from being at the beach all day and then relax on the beautiful lavender and white comfy cushions on the patio overlooking the pool. The kitchen with its blue and white antique tiles from Portugal was a joy to cook in and had all the equipment and dishes you might need. The entry with pecky cypress walls welcomed us every day with the large white saarinen center table where we could leave our keys,etc on. We never felt the need to lock the house. The entry also has a hanging straw hat collection that we could borrow from when going to the beach. The location of the house is perfect for wherever you want to go. We used a golf cart while there and could be at the beach in less than 5 minutes, be at The Landing in 5 minutes, grocery store 5 minutes away---its location in the center of town was a grand convenience in every way! There is even a great bakery down the street 2 minutes away that makes fresh coconut bread every morning---among many other delicious confections for breakfast or lunch. The house is fully equipped including a washer and dryer and ice machine. There is a gardener, a housekeeper and a house manager that come everyday. The house manager is great and tends to any problem that you might have. He also is a fabulous

guitarist and singer. We saw him perform at the Pink Sands Hotel one evening. I bet he might even perform for you if you decided to entertain at home one evening! I can't say enough about this house----I hope to go back many more times. Harbour Island beaches are the most beautiful in the world!
