Just 15 min. from historic Beaufort, 57 miles to Savannah, 69 miles to Charleston and 12 miles to Parris Island.
Ocean Blue ceramic floor tile, rattan furniture, sailor blue bedroom furniture with a queen bed and a nautical theme. This first floor vacation condo features a screen porch overlooking one of the island's 3 pools with a view of 3 mile long private, uncrowded beach and morning sunrises. Just 70 yards over the boardwalk, over the sea oats/sand dunes and you're on the beach!! Pets must be well behaved and preapproved. Pet owners planning to bring pet(s) must reserve with a credit card. Pets may require an extra cleaning fee, especially long-haired pets. Pet owners should use curtains instead of vertical blinds at patio door. Active pets may accidently pull blinds down off track and on to floor.
Close to rookeries with hundreds of herons and egrets.
We love to relax and enjoy the warmth of the sun, cool water and carefree attitude in a quiet neighborhood atmosphere with 24-hour security guards at the gated entrance. Take long walks on your own sandy beach. All the pleasures and privacy that a hotel cannot offer.
11 GOLF COURSES WITHIN 15 MILES.
And golf is only one of nearby Beaufort’s drawing cards. Just 10 minutes away Camelot Farms provides Equestrian Adventures. It won’t take long for you to discover why movie makers so often choose the Lowcountry as a movie set. Forrest Gump, The Prince of Tides, and The Big Chill are but a few of our credits. And we have festivals...

What a relaxing, peaceful vacation. The condo was like a home away from home, very clean and inviting. It rained our first night there but the screened porch was a great way to spend a rainy night. We even got to enjoy watching a school of dolphins swim while lounging on the beach. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, serene place to enjoy some down time!

Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
Once I felt the gentle breezes and saw the flowing waters, sandy beach and spacious views of Harbor Island, I was hooked enough to find my property.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Remarkable sunrises and sunsets, access to swimming pools, collecting sea shells, walking among the terns, pelicans, egrets, herons and horseshoe crabs, 24-hour security, graceful sand dunes covered with sea oats and coastal grasses, peace, tranquility and a wonderful place to take the grandchildren.

Nice but needs a little more TLC

Review Submitted: 05/27/10
I suppose that anyplace would pale in comparison after having spent 2 1/2 days/nights in a very nice suite at a Hilton. However, this condo needs some refurbishment. Bed slept well, but towels and furniture cushions, pillows were old and need replacing. One of the toilet seats was broken - a new one was installed while we were there. Other than this, the place was serviceable and handy to the laundry room (right next door). It is also VERY important to know that the beach where you can swim is about 2 1/2 - 3 miles away at Hunting Island State Park. However, I was grateful to be able to stay in this area and to absorb some of the very unique culture and beauty - nearby Beaufort was the place where many of the scenes from the movie "Forrest Gump" was filmed - a neat, neat place!
Owner response:We are advised not to swim in the ocean when there are riptides. There are three pools on the island and one is right outside the screened patio of this villa. Each guest is called to confirm safe arrival and ask if the villa is ok. Anything reported is addressed (like the broken toilet seat). New bedroom furniture & rugs were put in new 2 years ago adding more dresser drawers, a jewelry drawer, a phone and TV to the bedroom. The stove and refrigerator were replaced new last year. The heat pump that resides on the roof exposed to the elements is to be replaced this year. Living room updates are planned. There have been no increases in rental rates for this villa since 2003 (gate fees decided upon by the Home Owners Association have increased some). Constructive criticism is welcomed. Significant health issues have prevented owner visits to the villa since June 2009 but new linens, towels and pillows are on the way. We aim to please our guests!

Nice, but too much noise from the upstairs unit
Guest: Low Country Fan
(Aiken, SC)

Review Submitted: 02/07/10
We enjoyed our stay here. The island is beautiful, Beaufort isn't too far away, and the cove a block away covered with herons and egrets at roosting time in the evenings and early morning was amazing. The fitness room is great. The owner was thoughtful to call us the evening of our arrival to make sure everything was OK, and it was. The unit is exactly as advertised and reasonably priced, and we have no complaints other than we didn't get much sleep. It's not the owner's fault, but like many first floor units, especially where everyone has hardwood or tile floors, we heard a lot of noise from the people upstairs. They were up at 5:00 am every morning, and we literally heard every foot step. I hesitated to mention this, but I'm afraid the noise, during the day as well, really was more intrusive than any place I have ever lived or visited. My wife and I are not particulary light sleepers, but it was a real problem. It was unfortunately made worse because we were inside more than normal, because it was cold and wet the weekend we were there. In all other respects I would recommend this place, but if you're light sleepers or the sound of "the people upstairs" might be an issue for you, I suggest a little caution.
Owner response:The unit upstairs is not always rented and not all upstairs occupants are noisy. When there are occupants who are noisy, I have called the frontgate and talked with them about the problem. A guard will come down and talk with the occupants about the noise and ways to correct the challenge. I have gotten good results by doing this. Some occupants said they didn't realize they were distrubing others. All were cooperative. annette

This was my second trip in this condo and it was excellent as was the firstvisit. It was clean and beautifully decorated and the owner was so helpful. Our friends loved it and want to go back again. It was so peacful with so much to see and do. I'd recomend it all ages who like fun and fishing at the beautiful beach. And the long walks were spectacular. Will return again as soon as possible.

I have been to Hunting Island @ Beaufort, S.C. many times off & on since I was a child but I had never visited Harbor Island. I stayed @ this condo in August of 2007 & this place is awesome! A little piece of Heaven right off the highway in the middle of nowhere, that makes you realize and appreciate the simple things in life. We hope and plan to come back in the future! Thanks so much!" This is the place to come if you need to totally relax & enjoy the beauty & the peace that only this island can offer! Kristie, S.C.

This is an excellent place for a relaxing vacation. Very peaceful. The natural (non-man made) beach is awesome. The previous person the wrote a review went during spring break when kids are out of school. I would suggest going at a different time, if you prefer less kids. I give Harbor Island an A+! I will definately return!
