Rock House has been a vibrant and colorful feature
of the Harbour Island landscape since the early
1940's. Originally built as a Bed & Breakfast,
it has evolved over the years from hotel to rental
property and back to hotel again.
In July of 2002 the property was offered for sale
and it caught the interest of the well-known and
well-established South Florida builder J. Wallace
Tutt III. Builder for celebrities such as the late
Gianni Versace and Cher, he had a vision of
turning the property into a boutique hotel. Along
with the adjoining historic Catholic School House,
Tutt had the concept of making the two properties
one, and create a casual yet elegant atmosphere,
encompassing hotel, casual grill and elegant fine
dining all in one small compound. The project
began in August 2002 and Rock House grew into the
gem that it is today. It offers 10 spacious king
size bedded rooms, one of which is a
2-bedroom, 2-bath Suite with whirlpool tub, mini
bar and a full living room.
The hotel business is not new to Tutt who in 1994
built a 17-room hotel on Collins Avenue
on Miami Beach known as the Hotel Impala. It
became the most successful hotel in all of Florida
capturing the highest occupancy rate in all of
Dade County.
