This upscale bed-and-breakfast was originally deeded in 1796 and built by Thomas W. Johnson, Briland's first justice of the peace. Set in a hilltop garden filled with bougainvillea, royal poincianas, and roses, this lovely seven-bedroom house thrives thanks to the loving preservation work done by genial owner-host John Hersh. Each guest room has local artwork, four-poster beds with decorative netting, a comfy sofa, and gracious Queen Anne-style writing desks. Enjoy a Continental breakfast each morning on the deck.

The Bahama House Inn is a wonderful place to stay, on Harbour Island. There are outdoor sitting areas, and one in particular is fabulous for watching sunsets and having a quiet drink.
Bahama House Inn has full breakfast, and these are real breakfasts served outdoors (in another sitting area).
Just walking out of the main house and looking at the ocean in the distance, bougainvillea on the side of the pink building, and blue sky . . .fabulous!
We found the location to be convenient for everything -- walk down into town, to buy fresh-made conch salad; walk up over the hill to the pink sand beaches. Or rent a golf cart and toodle around the whole town.
