"In the Pink"
A nostalgic piece from Pip's (Ben's Mother) era at the Ocean View Club... It's been thirty years since this article was published, and it's fascinating to see what has changed and what remains the same on the little island known as 'Briland.' "There are no signs of a discovered location... Nothing that resembles a 'scene'... No trendy hotel... Life primarily centers around four guesthouses." Ah, simpler times...

"Where sand meets the sea"
Our event company Little Island Design's inaugural feature in Brides magazine highlights Ben and Charlie, who were just a few years into providing decor, flowers, and catering for pop events while preparing to enter the hotel industry. The wedding was a beautifully simple boho-elegant celebration, and 'Cha-cha,' the charming little red skiff, has never looked better.

"All in the Family"
Conde Nast graciously featured the Ocean View Club shortly after and Charlie assumed operational control of the property in 2015. It was eventful year filled with challenges—taking over the family business, integrating wedding operations, starting construction on a new hotel in Eleuthera, and becoming parents. To add to the whirlwind, Ben also lost a kidney that same year. This article serves as a wonderful way to encapsulate and commemorate that pivotal moment.

"Straight up with a twist"
This was a remarkable feature—the other side's cover story. Just a year after launching The Other Side, we were thrilled to be highlighted on the cover the UK's Conde Nast Traveler. Currently, The Other Side holds the distinction of being the first and only Bahamian-owned property to grace the cover of this esteemed magazine. The spread beautifully showcases photos narratives that capture the tourism "coming of age" of Harbour Island as it gradually becomes a sought-after destination.

"Return to the beach"
The first time one of our brides graced the cover of Bride's Magazine was unforgettable. When a DJ ties the knot with a model, you can expect an epic celebration. This wedding was entirely produced in-house, and despite the lively atmosphere featuring five different DJs performing late into the night the aesthetic leaned towards a more natural vibe, with subtle foraged greens and touches of white—simple yet beautiful.

'Distilled Tranquility'
Ben and Charlie's mission behind creating the Other Side is beautifully captured in this brief message. It's driven by their love for their children, as well as a commitment to simplicity, embracing imperfection, and finding peace through acceptance and letting go.

'Bahamian Rhapsody'
Ben's cover on an inflight magazine during the pandemic was a lovely memento, though it's uncertain if anyone actually saw it.
