SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER ARE THE ABSOLUTELY BEST MONTHS IN THE YEAR; WE HAVE LOWERED OUR PRICES....CHECK WITH US !! Use email to Communicate with Owner (Next to CALENDAR) It is usually Quicker.

-- WELCOME TO HARBOR ISLAND - SMALL AND PRIVATE - SOME SAY THE BEST KEPT SECRET ON THE EAST COAST.
This is a private gated community with 24 hour security -- -- a friendly place where people say hello and waive at you from their cars -- and the beach is never crowded, as in never-ever crowded.
FIVE ADVANTAGES to renting this Villa:
1) It is Beachfront/Oceanfront (I'll bet that's why you are coming here!)The closest blgs to the Ocean are "K" and "D." We are K-101.
2) It is adjacent to a private POOL for condominium guests.
3) It is an end unit; instead of another condominium, you have
two picture windows with great views -- only 1 other like it.
4) It is on the ground floor, no stairs, From the outside deck, do not pass GO; instead PROCEED DIRECTLY to the OCEAN.
5) It is nicely furnished (and all New kitchen in 2006)....
Here is what a tenant wrote in June: "Your unit was one of the nicest I have seen in Harbor Island---we loved the beautiful colors and new appliances, and my husband especially loved the chair and ottoman he could sit in and enjoy the view."
*BONUS*: We send you info on restaurants and the Beaufort area.
We are a private owner. Our Beachfront/Oceanfront 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath Condominium sleeps 2-4 people. Most of the one bedroom condominiums have an identical or similar floor plan. The primary difference is LOCATION. There are only two ocean front buildings and only one other end unit like this one. You will see the Ocean the minute you step in the front door(assuming the curtains are open).
Step out through a sliding glass door onto a private deck. You are there. There is NO BETTER LOCATION, NO BETTER VIEW. You will take two steps down to the Boardwalk and see nothing but the sea oats, the Beach, the Ocean. Over Two miles of beach await. The picture windows of a corner end unit provide additional Ocean views and make the unit brighter. One picture window for the Ocean, One picture window for the pool. Less than 30 seconds puts you on the beach.......did I mention that the beach is never crowded? WiFi you ask. It is available at the Beach & Racquet Club, at my agent's office just outside the gate and at the Beaufort library.
THE POOLS: We have found that a lot of people who like to come to the beach prefer spending a lot of time at the pool. Not a problem when it's 20 seconds from your front door . . . yet far enough away that it does not distract. There are two other pools where you can swim and hang out-- a second pool within the condominium complex and a third larger pool (some say Olympic size -- probably exaggerated) at the Beach and Racket Club (BRC) across the street.
[WARNING: It could take a couple of minutes to get to the BRC if you insist on walking.] The Club has a children's pool. While you are at the Beach Club, try the indoor fitness room. Play some volleyball. Watch the kids enjoy the playscape. Or just grab the paper or a favorite book and enjoy a gorgeous marsh view and the surroundings.
Tennis anyone? We have courts at the Beach Club. Golf? There are 11 courses around Beaufort. The closest are the two courses on Fripp Island, open to anyone: Ocean Point and a Davis Love III signature course - 3 short miles. Fripp Island is gated, so call for reservation. South Carolina National is maybe 25 minutes away, and there are many others.
The condominium was recently re-furnished. Second TV in bedroom! Both digital cable, of course. Master Bedroom has a KING SIZE BED and full bath. A full kitchen with microwave was renovated in 2006. A washer and dryer, bar space and dining table provide the amenities you need. Check out our pictures!
And I swear this beach is never crowded. It's fun to walk to the end in either direction and you need to do both because they are different. It's a toss up as to whether the sunsets over the water are better, or the soft glow of the sun as dawn breaks (see picture). . . and when the moon is full over the water . . .well, that's a whoooole other story. At night, you can see the stars without interference from city lights (honey, bring the telescope). You know, you may need more than one week!
We take checks for the deposit (30%) and a credit card after you arrive for the balance. The villa changed owners in 2003. Since then, we have received numerous unsolicited comments from vacationers who have loved our condo and Harbor Island. You could be next. I mean, what's to stop you???
