Cette maison de vacances offre de nombreuses prestations comme une terrasse, des barbecues et un jardin. Le Wi-Fi est disponible gratuitement dans les espaces communs.
The property was dirty . The air condition did not work properly . The tub did not drain . There was termites in the unit . There is mold in the upstairs room . A snail crawled on my arm in the middle of the night . The power went out and the generators did not kick on
Excellent communication. Great value for this comfortable 3bedroom property. Conveniently located to grocery, restaurants , liquor store and eateries. Lovely house manager, Juanita.
Chatterbox is a beautiful well kept house. It's ideally and centrally located; everything is within walking distance. It's close to the beach, supermarket, wine and liquor stores, top restaurants, bakeries and local conch and fish shacks.
Service was super and communication channels with the host was excellent. No question was too insignificant to answer.
The house was clean and fully furnished with top of the line appliances and amenities.
We will definitely be back!
My family absolutely loved our week stay in Chatterbox. The house is so cool - old, full of charm, and lovely decor. Plenty of space for my family of 5. My 3 girls loved their upstairs bedrooms. We loved the location - directly across the street from the grocery store, an easy golf cart ride to the beach, and a block away from Daddy D's :)
In 2021, my family had an incredible stay at this property. The house was incredibly well kept. When we returned in June 2023, we were disappointed to find that the house was under new ownership and had not been maintained. The house was covered in mildew, and all of the furniture was stained (even the bedding). There was a crib and trash from the previous renters on the front porch, not to mention a broken fridge in the backyard. We were told the upstairs porch could not be used due to ants. The wifi nor music system was working. There were no complete sets of drinkware (e.g., coffee mugs, wine glasses). Some of the outside furniture was broken.
Our visit came to an end after just 24 hours. During our first night in the house, there was a storm. There were leaks everywhere - both bedrooms upstairs, the hallway upstairs, and the living room downstairs. And there was mold / mildew and separating wood that suggested these were not new leaks. We used nearly every clean towel and beach towel in the house to mop up water. The worst was the upstairs bedroom with double beds. The water was rushing through the windows displaying two of our family that night. We reported this incident and checked out the next day.
Lastly, the host was totally unresponsive. I initiated contact the day prior to our check-in. The day of our check-in, I messaged her two or three times and did not get a response. During the storm, I called and messaged - no answer. Even VRBO could not get in contact.
Everything from deferred maintenance (too much to mention) to dirty areas (front patio, floor & floor coverings, upholstery, linens, etc) and devoid of basic necessities (flashlights, candles, dinner knives, napkins, proper cooking utensils, full sets of pots & pans, etc.) this property needs serious improvement!
While the property has old world cottage charm, this feature alone does not make up for the overall deficiencies and lack of owner accountability. Chattterbox was a huge disappointment to say the least!
For those looking to be just steps from stores and a short walk to the best bar and restaurant on the island, this house is a great choice! We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the upper deck - and there was enough room for us all to spread out. Pink Sands is a very short ride away. The property manager was very helpful and responsive and we really appreciated her!
Loved our stay at chatterbox! Great location, walking distance to the bay side restaurants & shops. Short golf cart ride to beach. Juanita was very helpful, how wonderful coming home to a clean house every day! Will definitely be back
We rented this vintage cottage going by the photos, description and previous reviews. I'm sure the cottage was really cute when it was first renovated but it needs a LOT of TLC. Linens were dingy upholstery was stained and there was an overall grime and smell to the place. We had a tremendous roof and window leak during one of the rain showers. We checked out a day early and contacted the house manager and owner who assured me they would remedy the situation immediately and I trust they have. I would get assurance that these things have been taken care of before renting this house. The location is directly in front of the Pigly Wiggly which can be busy during the day so if you are looking for a quiet location this is not the spot.
Hi Nailini,
I meant to email you last week just to let you know we had a wonderful time on Harbour Island and just loved your home! It worked out so well for our family - we loved it! We loved the location and being able to walk to town and to the beach and it was so convenient being right across from the Pigly Wigly! Thank you for having beach chairs! You were always so responsive and helpful and everything you recommended for our trip was great. Hope we can go back again someday!
Thank you, Jennifer"
I rented Chatterbox because of the on line photos. While Trish Becker did a wonderful job with remodel and decor, the property is in need of TLC both inside and out. This property is under new ownership and could possibly have something to do with up keep. Daily house keeping is included and only came one time the entire week. If I return to Harbour Island there are other properties I would consider.
Our family very much enjoyed our time in this lovely home! Because the aesthetics are so charming we found ourselves content to linger at home some even though the beach is easily accessible with a short golf car ride. The location is convenient to everything we needed with grocery store, wine store, and restaurants nearby. We hope to stay here again in the future...already missing time on the porch with coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening.
Chatterbox is charming and beautifully decorated with all the amenities needed for a family vacation. Lovely outdoor spaces and a fully equipped kitchen. Great outdoor shower. Appreciated the Matouk linens. And a location convenient to everything. Would definitely stay here again!
We just returned from our week on Harbour Island and Chatterbox was the perfect place for our family vacation! The decor is perfect and the location was ideal for our family - in the center of everything, yet a 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach. We have three young children and the ability to walk across the street to the Pigly Wigly to pick up whatever we needed or down the street for a bottle of wine was wonderful. This is definitely a destination for people who like to be "in the mix," not secluded (always our preference when we stay anywhere). We are already planning our next trip. Thank you for having us!
The ultimate beach house! Beautifully decorated, yet comfortable (think sandy feet). Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children, and conveniently located right next to the grocery store, liquor store, a restaurant, and golf cart rentals. Our family fell in love with the island on this trip and cannot wait to visit again! Thank you for such an amazing stay!
Chatterbox is charming! The beds were comfortable with luxury linens. The kitchen was well-equipped with an espresso machine, blender, serving dishes, linens, to-go cups, anything you could want. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor spacesâŠcoffee on the roof and cocktails on the side porch. The house is beautifully & thoughtfully decorated. The location was convenient to everything, especially The Pigly Wigly. We felt safe and would definitely rent again and recommend to friends!
We loved Chatterbox! It's pretty pink color first attracted me but the layout was perfect for our family. We all had plenty of space but the common areas were large and roomy for all of us to be in together. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance you need to cook up a good meal. We bought groceries several nights and cooked dinner "at home" instead of going out. The location is perfect - within walking distance to Bay Street, just a short golf cart ride away from the beach and directly across the street from the Pigly Wigly grocery.
Great place to stay!!
