Java Estate – Iconic Three-Residence Compound in the Heart of Harbour Island
Java Estate is a rare opportunity to experience (or own) a true Harbour Island landmark – a storied compound where island history, character, and modern luxury come together. Tucked in the heart of charming Dunmore Town, this iconic property comprises three distinct residences – Java House, Java Cottage, and Java Hut – which can be enjoyed together as a private estate or individually as separate retreats or income-producing rentals.
Spanning over 10,000 sq. ft. (approx. 929 m²) of refined living space on one-third of an acre, Java Estate offers a flexible layout with 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, ideal for large families, groups of friends, celebrations, retreats, or a collection of smaller, more intimate stays. Each residence has its own personality and has been beautifully curated, blending original architectural charm with stylish, comfortable furnishings and thoughtful modern upgrades.
Step outside and discover six enchanting outdoor living areas, each designed to create its own mood and moment. Start the day with coffee on a cosy covered patio with a bar, spend sunny afternoons around the heated pool at the pool pavilion – complete with a full kitchen for alfresco cooking and entertaining – and gather at sunset on one of the terraces as the island begins to glow. Climb up to the crow’s nest for sweeping island views and a true sense of place; from here, you can feel the gentle rhythm of Harbour Island all around you.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a long-table dinner under the stars, or slipping away to a quiet corner with a book, Java Estate offers a perfect balance of privacy, sociability, and Caribbean ease. The layout makes it easy to be together when you want to connect, and to retreat to your own residence when you need quiet time.
Just beyond the gates, Harbour Island awaits: pastel-painted cottages, historic Dunmore Town, chic beach clubs and bars, world-class restaurants, and of course the world-famous Pink Sands Beach. Getting here is simple yet special – with flights into North Eleuthera, a short taxi ride to the dock, and a quick water taxi across to the island – adding to the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere truly unique. Several marinas welcome private yachts, with Valentines Resort & Marina less than half a mile from Java Estate.
Whether envisioned as:
a private family compound,
a luxury income-generating property, or
an island retreat to share with friends and guests,
Java Estate stands out as one of Harbour Island’s most distinctive properties – a place where every corner invites connection, celebration, and the kind of memories that keep you coming back year after year.

5/5 – Absolutely Perfect Stay!
This home was absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every little detail was thoughtfully provided – from pool amenities, full kitchen (had everything and more to cook delicious meals, to the cozy linens and extra touches that made it feel like a true home away from home.
The location was ideal – peaceful and private, yet close enough to everything we needed. Communication with the host was seamless and we ran into no issues.
