Unlike many, our deck leads out the back towards the pool and dune walkway. The pool is ~ 50 paces to the private Cedar Reef Villa pool. Take a short walk to the beach just over and through the beautiful natural dunes. Home of wildflowers; bushes; birds; rabbits; hermit crabs and more. Our rental also gives rights to the 'Harbor Island Beach & Tennis Club'. A short walk to the 'HIBT' Club offers a fitness center of cardio machines and a weight room.
The large outdoor pool surrounded by lounge chairs and looks out over the marsh to the Harbor River. There is a kiddie pool and playground; tennis courts; basketball; shuffleboard; volleyball; horseshoe pit and golf chipping area. The club offers a grill for snacks and a small general store. Two bikes accompany our condo for your pleasure. Ride through the island and observe the wild life, manicured grounds and beautiful pastel colored homes. You can also ride through the back way to 'Johnson Creek Tavern' for dinner; 'Bubba's Surf Shop' for ice cream, t-shirt, souvenirs and beach supplies.
Buy fish fresh from the shrimp boat at Gay's Marina just before the Harbor Bridge. See schools of dolphins, crab from bridges, watch pelicans dive for fish, and enjoy sunsets framed by Palmetto trees.
Harbor Island is next to beautiful, unspoiled subtropic Hunting Island (see 'LINK' below for all the natural beauty, exploring, swimming etc. HUNTING ISLAND has to offer)and Fripp Island, South Carolina. 12 miles to historic Beaufort, 12 miles to Parris Island, 42 miles to Hilton Head, 69 miles to Charleston, and 57 miles to Savannah.

                                We loved the condo. It was even nicer then the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was well maintained. We enjoyed the bikes and took several tours around the island. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. I would recommend this property and hope to get a chance in the future to return.

                                This was our second trip to Harbor Island, but our first stay in this condo. It was just right for our family of 5. The walk to the beach was short and the kids loved the grassy area off the back deck. They caught tons of toads out there at night! We love this community and can't wait to plan our trip for next summer. We definitely will be back to stay here!

It is no better compliment than to have some say they will be back, or even better...when you do return as many of our guests do. Brian

                                The place is beautiful and we had plenty of room for 5. We enjoyed the beach and fishing.We also liked it being ground floor. We do plan to return. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your Villa.

                                This villa was exactly what we needed to enjoy our short vacation to the coast. We were never in need of anything. With this being our first stay at a condo, we were very well pleased. Very spacious and nicely decorated.

                                This is the third time our family has used 28374 and each time seems a bit better than the last, a little more like "home". The location is perfect for us, as we spend most of every day on the beach and the ground floor/corner combination adds to the ideal nature of the property. The photos don't fully capture the charm nor the layout, it is actually better than you would think from seeing the photos. Perfect for four adults, not sure how it would work if there were children in the mix. It was clean and quiet (the upstairs neighbors were not noticeable) and the A/C kept us happy any time we were not soaking up the sun. Bottom line is that we highly recommend this rental to anyone with a small group. The owners are gracious and accomodating and we Will Be Back!

                                We have stayed at "Cottage by the Sea" for the past five years. Each time our reservation and scheduling of our stay has been a seamless process. As you can see from the photos, the condo is immaculately cleaned and well appointed with every convenience of home. We especially love the natural setting of Harbor Island's beach and marsh. The three swimming pools are convenient to the condo and what better way to see the island than a bike ride using the bikes under the deck. Each time we visit we are sure to go to nearby Hunting Island, sightseeing and shopping in downtown Beaufort and local restaurants such as Johnson Creek Tavern, Dockside (Port Royal location) and Steamers. Most importantly we love this place because it is perfect to spend time relaxing at the beach, pool and the covered back deck. As much as we would like to keep it our personal secret, we have recommended it to several people including family and friends.

                                My husband and I stayed in this condo on Harbor Island and would definitely recommend it! It was clean and comfortable and the owner was friendly and easy to deal with. This was our first time on Harbor although we had stayed in the area before so were familiar with places to eat, etc. Having the bikes with the rental was perfect as we rode around Harbor and also to Hunting Island which is near\by. Beaufort isn't far and there are fun shops on the road between there and Harbor. Don't miss The Shrimp Shack for lunch!! Lots of other good places to eat nearby and in Beaufort also.

                                My family and I stayed here for part of our Spring Break. We have stayed at Harbor Island before but this was our first time in this condo. It was great!!! It was very clean and comfortable. The owners were wonderful to deal with. My kids loved the pool which is right off the back porch. And of course it is a short walk to the beach. Since it is a one bedroom, my children slept on the sleeper sofa in the living room which worked out well. We could not have asked for a better stay for our Spring Break.

                              Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island:
                              DESCRIPTION: The condo is very clean and comfortable. The entire floor is tiled! This is great to keep the condo clean! The condo is an end unit with side windows that makes it very bright and spacious feeling. It is first floor with a front door at the parking lot and very convenient back door to pool and beach walk! The kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc. Shower towels and bed linens are supplied. There are two private Cedar Reef pools. One pool is approximately 50 paces from the condo (see photos). The other is just on the other side of the condos for closer proximity for those guests. There is also the larger main pool at the Harbor Island Pool and Racquet Club. There is also a kiddie pool and play ground, tennis, volleyball, basketball and a chipping area for golfing. Tennis rackets, volleyball and basketballs are available for loan at the Club. The clubhouse has a snack bar and exercise room, (as if walking on the beach isn't enough exercise). We have two bikes at the condo for your use. We recently did some painting and updating. It is situated 15 miles East of Beaufort, SC. It is midway between Charleston to the north and Savannah to the south. Hilton Head is mid way between Harbor Island and Savannah. Therefore it is situated some what between all of them. It is a pretty, secluded island. PS: The tax, gate pass and cleaning fees are fees we cannot get around. The property is managed and cleaning is contracted. This guarantees that when you arrive, the condo, bath towels, kitchen utensils, are clean. There is a bar of soap in each bathroom, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap ready for your use. Please write or call if you have any questions. I will check back with you in a few days if I don't hear from you. Thanks for your inquiry. Brian Fox C: 828-291-0790 / C: 828-228-4571
