FIRST THINGS FIRST!!
This luxurious oceanfront villa:
Was renovated top to bottom December 2008
>> Is newly available on VRBO.
>> Offers the best rates on the island for a TRUE oceanfront/beachfront, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom villa.
>> Offers TRUE oceanfront/beachfront views and location, unlike most of the other villas!
>> Is beautifully furnished.
>> Sleeps up to 8 people.
PLEASE READ ON!
The living room, king master bedroom suite, and panoramic (180 degree view) deck all have COMPLETELY UNOBSTRUCTED ocean views. Don’t be fooled: this Cedar Reef villa building is one of only two (D and K) that are TRUE oceanfront (we are D211). ALL of these other villa buildings have 1 to 3 buildings between them and the beach, AND sit perpendicular to the beach!
Located on private, gated Harbor Island, this villa is just steps away from:
• ocean and 3.2 miles of private, secluded, white, sandy beach
• 4 pools including one “Olympic” and one “kiddie”
• Harbor Island Beach and Racquet Club (BRC)
• fitness center
• 4 clay tennis courts
• putting greens
• sand volleyball court
• basketball court
• island store
• café
• playground
Now for the “touchy/feely” stuff! :<) Pamper yourself with a vacation at this luxurious beach villa. Come take long walks on the beach, collect shells and sand dollars, read a novel, try your hand at crabbing (free loan of crab traps for guests), enjoy Hunting Island State Park and its beautiful lighthouse, visit historic Beaufort, wander through art and antique galleries, shop nearby outlets, enjoy local dining, day trip to Savannah or Charleston, or just take in the ocean breeze. You are sure to find serenity here!
This beach is one of the most pristine, uncrowded beaches on the East coast. Loggerhead turtles nest and hatch on our beach! Unforgettable sunrise views of the ocean and dunes are absolutely gorgeous from the corner-view deck. You’ll enjoy the tranquility as dolphins glide by, sea oats sway in the breeze, and shrimp trawlers parade out to hunt their morning’s catch. After you finish enjoying your morning coffee, the deck becomes fully-shaded for the rest of the day.
Golf anyone? There are 11 courses around Beaufort. The closest are the two courses on nearby Fripp Island: Ocean Point and a Davis Love III signature course - 3 miles away and open to anyone. Fripp Island is gated, so call for reservations. South Carolina National, Paris Island Golf Club, and the Lady’s Island Country Club are all within 20 minutes, and there are many others.
How about deep sea fishing? Two fishing tour companies also operate out of Fripp Island.
WARNING: Harbor Island is not for everyone! If you are looking for crowds, noise or traffic, we are sorry to disappoint. But if you are looking for that wonderfully quiet beach vacation you remember from childhood, then Harbor Island is the place for you. In a glorious natural setting, our island is perhaps the best kept secret on the East coast! And even though this is a private, gated community with 24 hour security, Harbor Island is a friendly place where people say hello and wave at you from their cars – and, don’t forget, the beach is never crowded, as in never-ever crowded!
Located just 15 minutes from beautiful historic Beaufort, one hour from grand Savannah (or its airport), one hour from Hilton Head, and one hour fifteen minutes to historic Charleston (or its airport).
The king master bedroom suite and the 2 twin-bed guest room suite each have their own private full bathroom (a separate door closes for the shower, tub and toilet) and both have TVs and DVDs. The queen-sized sleeper sofa and queen-sized air mattress allow for additional guests or overnight friends and family to visit your newly found paradise. The villa sleeps 8 people total. All bed linens and bath towels are provided. We have added a 42-inch plasma flat screen and home theater DVD/CD in the family room! We have provided a library of DVDs, books and magazines to enjoy during your visit.

A weekend stay earns a $25 gift card. Simply have your friends or family members drop your name (and number) when they call us to make their reservation. We will then call you and take care of the rest. You can earn an unlimited number of gift cards, and they make great presents for you to give!

Renovated Two Bedroom Oceanfront Wifi Winter Special Rates!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
We have been travelling to South Carolina for vacation ever since Katie's parents moved from Maryland to South Carolina in 1993. We love the weather, the southern charm and the unique peace and quiet of the low country beaches.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love the peaceful direct views of the dunes and the ocean from the deck and the master bedroom. The two-story design of the villa offers more of a sense of space and privacy than a standard one-story condominium. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, plus there is a powder room downstairs, so no one is ever waiting to use the bathroom. We have WIFI and a flat screen cable television with dvd surround sound (in family room - plus tvs in each bedroom) so we would always be entertained, even if the weather wasn't cooperating! The island offers several pools, tennis courts, basketball and other activities so there is always something to do.
Owner's Map of Harbor Island
Aaron & Katie Thompson have been married for 17 years and counting. We have two daughters, Sydney & Lydia. We live in Maryland. We all love the beach and water activities. Our favorite time of each year is when we can come to South Carolina to spend time together relaxing and enjoying all of the activities that the Low Country has to offer.
