About this property

BEACH FRONT!!! Steps from the Beach - Fantastic Views

Beach front home!! This fabulous beach house has great views of the water. Your boardwalk is directly beside the house and takes you to the beach, just steps away.

Open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in living and dining rooms providing stunning views and access to the deck where you will see shrimp boats and watch the dolphins play. Large dining table for 8-10 and bar with prep sink and 5 stools are great for a big gathering.

A spacious master suite with screen porch is located on the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two baths: one is a 2nd master with queen bed and a deck with spectacular sunrise views. Two bedrooms are furnished with twin beds with trundles (sleeping 3 each) and open to a covered porch for views of the bridge, marsh and sunsets. The sitting area has a sleep sofa. Each bedroom has a TV.

Harbor Island is a gated community offering many amenities including large pool, baby pool, play ground, fitness room along with tennis, basketball and volley ball.

You can spend your days enjoying the wide beach. Take a walk and see all the birds that enjoy Harbor Island as well as dolphins playing close to shore. Walk down Harbor Drive and observe the osprey and egrets and you may spot a family of turtles and even an alligator (behind a large fence). Hunting Island State Park is just 2 miles away with wide beach, wooded trails, lighthouse, nature center and fishing pier.

There are many golf courses in the area where you can call for tee time, the closest being Fripp Island, only four miles away.

Since the historic town of Beaufort is only twenty minutes away, you can drive in for lunch or dinner and to walk through the lovely streets admiring the gracious homes and shopping in the unique shops and galleries. Day trips could include Charleston or Savannah.

We hope you will love Harbor Island as we do - no crowds, noise or traffic, just a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy.

The Harbor Island pool is open from April 1 - November 1.

Very peaceful

We had a wonderful stay here! The views are just beautiful. Sunrise from the ocean front back deck and sunset from the front porch. The private community has a really nice pool area with beautiful views of the marshes. Hunting island state park is just a few mins drive and Beaufort is only about 20 mins away. My only complaint is that the house might possibly have some mold or maybe it’s something in the carpet. We had some allergy issues when inside. The carpet definitely needs to be removed. Other than that our stay was perfect!

We rented this house while attending our son’s graduation. With the beautiful view, the sound of the waves and this lovely spacious house it was the perfect place for him to decompress. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Great time!

We love the location of this house and island. This is our second time to Harbor Island and it was wonderful. Long walks on the beach and watching the dolphins nightly were again enjoyable as well as the beautiful sunrises. The short drive for day trips to Charleston, Savannah and Hilton Head can't be beat. The house was roomy and comfy. The stove needs to be addressed yet, as it is still a guessing game for the knobs on the stove.

Almost perfect, we’ve been to Aruba and will never go back because here is far better. The only issue that should be remedied, is better maintenance and repair. Considering the nightly fee, some investment should be made in this area.

Beautiful Location, Filthy House

Towels in dryer upon arrival. Spider webs and various spiders, cockroaches, other bugs all over the house. House filled with mosquitoes and flies. Disgusting. Cabinets stained and filthy. Vacuum cleaner broken. Floors dirty and stained. Grill filthy! Thankful that we brought our own! Mattresses and all the furniture were old and broken down with stains. Incredibly uncomfortable. Various objects and trash we're found Under all furniture. Which means it wasn't cleaned!! The appliances all need to be upgraded. We did have a bathroom and trash issue arise and it was taken care of immediately.

Wonderful memories

It was during covid and three generations gathered here for an amazing week. The location and views were wonderful. We took the short trip to hunting island but could have spend all day at our own private beach and been just as happy. No chains, no fuss just relaxing good time.

Overall we enjoyed our stay!

The house is a perfect location to enjoy te beach or walk/ride to the pool. The kids loved looking for alligators and crabs. The house was well supplied. Our only complaint was that it was a little dirty upon our arrival and had a few bugs during the week. The top plugs didn't work in most outlets either, but nothing that would keep us from coming back! The rental company was always in communication and easy to get ahold of.

Great location

Property location is perfect and the view is beautiful. It had everything we needed and a great layout but it could be cleaner and definitely needs some sprucing if not updating. Water is extremely calm which worked for us as we have very young children but if your kids are older and wanting to boogey board it’s not the best beach for that.

Beautiful home, spectacular location. Needs some kitchen repair.

Overall, our stay at this home was spectacular. I would certainly book the home again, even if no recommended improvements were made. You cannot beat the location right on the water. It sits next to an empty lot on the right which provides more privacy. The home was definitely large enough for our group of 5. The "public access" walkway was connected to the home on the left. The public traffic was light in this area which was really nice. The water was warm and gentle. We loved watching the shrimp boats troll every morning followed by the dolphin. We anchored a raft to the inlet floor during low tide in the morning so we had something to float on when the tide came in. This was really nice as we didn't have to deal with being swept with the tide. The home was adequately stocked with kitchenware and linens. The windows are certainly very effective and the air conditioning stayed very cool and constant. There was ample seating for a group of 5 in the living room; however, a larger group would have been quite cozy with each other. We really enjoyed the deck seating. We spent a large amount of time outdoors. We got much use of the fly swatter and electric bug racket. We made use of the grill and the corn hole set. There were a couple of improvements we would recommend. The most important one being the stove. All of the dials are now missing the cook settings. You don't know which dial goes to which burner and if you are using the full burner or the inner circle, or if you have the burner on high or low. This required some trial-and-error which was quite annoying. The oven also does not heat properly which also required trial-and-error. The thermometer in the oven is inaccurate as well. Also, the dishwasher falls out of the cabinet when opening the door when it's fully loaded and the refrigerator door slams open in to the wall. It was great to have an extra frig; however, it was filthy when we arrived and had to be cleaned before use. The cold water from the kitchen faucet was never really cold and the ice maker didn't work properly. Also, the cold water handle on the wet-bar sink moved in both directions. Finally, being dog owners on an obviously dog-friendly beach, we would have loved to have had the opportunity to bring our dogs. The check-in process at the gate was simple and fast; however, there were no check-out instructions. Hopefully we left the home in the desired state. The key was easily located.

Negative Experience

The house was very dirty, none of the apparatus to cleaned worked in the house. The dryer was hit or miss ( didn’t work) the rails were loose on the balcony. Kitchen items were dirty . Shower floors were dirty , the ceiling fans were full of dust. Dead bugs and spiders were on the walls. Will not return or recommend . Trash was not picked up on time. Ms. Doris in the office was very nice .

Family/grandkids visit. Weather “unseasonably cool” for our June visit. House well stocked, it would have been helpful to know that there was an extra fridge, could’ve stocked up on the way in. Lots to do in the house even if the weather isn’t great. Beautiful views every way you look. Would stay here again for sure!

Beautiful setting overlooking the beach

All amenities were as described . The dish washer could use some attention as it inconsistently washes . The temperature control s on the stove are worn off so difficulty to gauge when cooking on the stovetop . Otherwise everything was great !! The beach is a great place for small children . Wide open and very quiet . Sunsets are stunning . A wonderful , low key place to vacation .
