Site Diary

In the week before we launched this Website on March 5, 2001, we invited everyone on the Island to preview it at the bakery and win a free cookie by helping us catch errors. Now we're posting changes here so you can quickly zero in on what's new each time you return. Here's a few tips for getting around the site:

• Return to our home page by clicking our logo upper left.
• Return to this page via the last item on the navigation bar at left.
• See photo captions by pausing your mouse over each photo.

Unless otherwise attributed, all photos are from the collections of the Arthur family or Teri Murphy of Virginia who provided technical assistance and helped motivate us to make this longterm dream come true.

For What's New items more recent than 2006, see our Blog.

2003
Dec 10	Baretta's Seashell Inn has the beginnings of a lovely new website which you can check out from our hotels page or directly at BarettasSeashellInn.com
Dec 7	Homes shown for sale on our properties page now include Sunset Villa, Sandy Hill, and Datcha. And newly added to our rentals page are Alizés and Mermaid's Retreat.
Nov 29	Photos of library open house in advance of January opening.
Nov 26	Photos and story on the fire on Bay Street
Nov 21	Photos and remarks by Glenroy Aranha on the occasion of an assembly at the school to celebrate his recent honor being named Harbour Island Hero.
Nov 20	Finally, we've got a map showing the rental houses that are featured on this site. Only trouble is, I think my webmaster started with a map from the days of the Arawak Indians. Most of the locations are pretty darn close, but let us know if your house is displayed in the bay--and it's not on an island.
Sep 15	Links to two more rental houses directly oceanfront: Sunny Side and Six Shillings.
Sep 4	Oops; It's just been pointed out that we're carrying the wrong number for TwinAir on our page getting here by air. It should be: 954-359-8266.
Jly 26	We've been so busy with weddings I haven't let you know about the several new houses on our rentals page: Parrot's Perch and Parrot's Cottage, Dilly, Sea Vision, Triana Shores, and even a home on Eleuthera called Boathouse. We also have links to the pretty new websites of Sue Casa and Gumelemi Bluff.
Jn 13	Our new look accommmodates the fact that most visitors head straight for hotels, rentals, real estate or weddings -- so we put those links up top. We're also pleased to show off on our home page that gorgeous banner ad for the new managers of Coral Sands and a much nicer photo of the beloved "Welcome" sign.
Mar 4	Expanded, easier to use page for properties for sale in our real estate section where we're pleased to announce the sale last week of historic Strawberry House.
Mar 3	Newly added to our rentals page are Dugdale, Cymru View, Little Bay, Flanders, Breezy Hill and Crows Nest.
Feb 22	Dunmore School offers an open house.
Jan 16	Two new perfect houses in our rentals page: Landfall fronting directly on the beach and Tucked In in the heart of the village.
Jan 3	We've got photos of this year's Junkanoo in our Happening section.
