“House is a great design with very private bedroom spaces, cool decor, wonderful patio and pool.”
The House
The House
Alligator House is a four-bedroom family home within two minutes’ walk of the world-renowned Harbour Island pink sands beach. The house is in the exclusive Narrows end of the island, within easy walking distance or a five-minute golf-cart ride from the shops and restaurants of historic Dunmore Town.
The Beach
There is a bungalow between the house and the beach, mostly hidden from Alligator by the tropical vegetation (see photos of the view). The beach path is semi-private, shared with the surrounding houses. N.B., you cannot supervise kids on the beach from the house.
The Rooms
“Just Beautiful!
Alligator House was the perfect location for our girls’ getaway...close to town, just a 5-10 min golf cart ride to wonderful restaurants (or a quick stroll down the beach for lunch or dinner)...yet still secluded and private, perched just above the amazingly beautiful pink sand beach.
Irma took wonderful care of us while we were there...a special week we’ll never forget. Thank you Anette for sharing your beautiful home with us! We’ll be counting the days until we can visit again! ”
“We had so much fun staying here as a group!
Everyone had their own separate space, air conditioning, and a great kitchen and living space.
The pool was wonderful but the walk to the beach and how private it felt really made it special.
Irma and George really made it easy and feel a step above a typical VRBO experience.
We would definitely come here again! Thanks!”

This room has a connecting door at the bottom of the stairs to the Master Bedroom, making it ideal for younger children - when the (security grade, i.e. very thick) door is closed, the rooms are very private and separate - but if you want to hear what is happening in the kids’ room, leaving the door open provides a discrete connection.

Kitchen area with fridge, microwave, electric oven and stovetop, dishwasher, blender, nespresso machine. N.B., this is a 10-year old island kitchen, not a chef’s kitchen!

This room has its own entrance and is not connected to other rooms.
Low-chlorine pool - kind on the eyes and skin -filled with reverse osmosis mineralized water (4m x 10m / 14ft x 34ft). Can be heated in winter to a maximum of 84F / 29C, similar to 5 star hotel standard (but not a bathtub…). Sunshades can be put up in the summer.
Daily beach set-up.
RO (reverse osmosis) system (our own well and plant that purifies with ultra-violet light and remineralises), ensuring a clean and uninterrupted water supply with a large water storage tank. We use it to drink from the tap, shower, and swim in!
Automatic generator (new in 2021), ensuring the lights (and AC) stay on.
There is also a whole-house voltage regulator, but we still recommend using voltage protectors for your sensitive equipment (please ask the Housekeeper if you forgot to bring your own, we usually have some spare ones).
Whole-house hi-speed Wifi. The standard is fiber-optic, which provides around 120gb download, however, due to island power outages, the internet is not 100% reliable.
Sonos sound system in the Main Room.
Air conditioning in all rooms. Please remember that electricity on the island is diesel generated and expensive, so please use responsibly and be as green as possible (e.g. don’t leave the doors open with the air conditioning on and usually it’s not necessary to have on all the time.)
Security: all windows are hurricane grade, all doors security grade with security locks and there are cctv cameras on the perimeter (should you want these shut-off, just let us know).
Outdoor Table Tennis
Beach Volleyball - please let us know if you would like this set up.

Plants won’t always be as in the photos, as they grow, leaves get blown-away by storms, and everything has a season.
Regular service under weekly & monthly maintenance agreements for the pool, AC, RO, & generator (with emergency call-outs).
There are no chefs on staff; here is a selection of local chefs recommended by some of our guests. Please feel free to contact them directly:
There are two outdoor BBQs (a Kamado Joe Classic III, which is not simple to use, so be sure to watch YouTube videos on how to make the most of it!) and a gas-fired one.
If you let us know in advance, we’ll make sure the charcoal is stocked (we don’t keep much, due to the humidity).
