Do you long for quiet walks on an uncrowded beach, for a get-away where you can relax and put your feet in the sand? If so, then beautiful Harbor Island is right for you! Harbor Island, a gated community, is located on the coast between Charleston and Savannah, 14 miles from historic Beaufort. The island has 2-1/2 miles of uninterrupted white sand beach.

This island paradise is for anyone who enjoys natural beauty! Even in peak season, the island and beach are uncrowded. Wildlife is abundant, including sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs and Pelicans congregating by the dozen at Pelican Point.

Our ground-floor condo has easy access to the beach and pool from both the front and back doors. The unit sleeps four with a queen-sized bed and a queen-sized sleeper sofa.

Location of our condo to the ocean:

Our condo building would be directly oceanfront except that it is turned at an angle to the beach rather than being parallel to it. As such, from our deck, when one looks to the right, the view extends across approx. 80 feet of grass to the edge of the sand dune system and across the dunes to the water.

From our deck, one has a view of the ocean, palm trees, dunes, and a swimming pool, lawn, and other villas. A boardwalk begins at the end of our building and leads directly to the beach--a 60-second walk over untouched dunes.

Hunting Island State Park (next island) is home to abundant wildlife, nature trails, and the only lighthouse in S.C. open to the public.

In the mood for some sightseeing and shopping? There's plenty to do nearby. Historic Beaufort is a 20-minute drive, and Savannah and Charleston are both just an hour's drive.

Harbor Island is an unspoiled island paradise, a perfect vacation place for the whole family where one can leave the crowds behind and relax comfortably in a beautiful natural setting. We look forward to sharing our lovely villa and the magic of Harbor Island with you.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

We are an Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (him) and Technical Editor (her) who fell in love with the island the moment we set foot on the beach.

Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island

We fell in love with the tranquility and abundant natural beauty of Harbor Island and the surrounding coastal area.

The Unique Benefits of this Condominium

We never know what wildlife beauty we will encounter. Each trip to the beach promises opportunity for new surprises: a school of dolphins frolicking off shore, a Tricolored Heron fishing in a tide pool, a tiny frog hopping along the board walk, a baby Loggerhead Turtle crawling across the beach on its maiden voyage to the sea... a tiny fragment of the many delightful discoveries we have encountered on Harbor Island.

    • Hello Gloria! Happy New Year to you as well! We truly had a wonderful time at the condo. It was just as you had stated. The condo was spotless and had everything we could have needed. It was like a home away from home!In addition, it was very nicely done, and we loved looking at all of the beach memorabilia. These items obviously mean a great deal to you. Everything was perfect, including the weather! You must have ordered that as well....thank you! When we returned home our temperature here was 5 degrees with snow! That has made us miss Harbor Island already! We will certainly look forward to visiting again in the future. We hope that you encountered the snow you were looking for as well in Ohio! Debbie and Lou

    • We had a really wonderful time….Your condo was lovely and perfect for our needs, and the area is so pleasant and peaceful. We were able to cook most of our meals or grill, and really had a nice time looking around at area sights and playing games and visiting. It was really great to have a 'home' away from home while visiting my son so far from our own home, so much nicer than staying in a hotel. It was really great…too short, but great. Thanks for everything. It is definitely a shock to return, as minnesota winter decided to really set in on Wednesday just after we had gotten back Tuesday night….only 10 degrees here right now, with snow. Take care---Mary

    • Gloria made making the reservation so simple and easy. The condo is very clean and neat. My two daughters and I had an awesome time on Harbor Island, so awesome we hated to leave! My daughters were talking about a return trip before we even left. Can't wait for our return. Thanks Gloria for sharing your home on paradise with us. Robin Streble

    • Dear Gloria, We did indeend have a wonderful time at your Harbor Island condo. We so appreciated the "calmness" of the whole complex. I am sure there are times of year when it is much busier, but the remoteness of Harbor Island, and Hunting Island really made them a delight to explore. We also enjoyed a day going up to Edisto Beach, and some time in the town of Beufort as well. We particularly enjoyed visiting Penn Center and learning more of the Gullah traditions. Everything was so much more peaceful and restful than the craziness of Hilton Head. I'm hoping that sometime in the next year I can get5 my husband to take a trip that direction again. The only disappointment was that it was a bit on the cool side as far as swimming was concerned. But we did enjoy walking along the beach at sunset. you were so helpful to us doing things on such short notice that I will indeed remember your kindness, and contact you first when the time comes that we head back down that direction. Thanks again.

    • I would like to say Thank you Gloria for making our travel plans and stay at your condo such a wonderful experience. It was such a relaxing experience for our family to enjoy the peace of the ocean and seeing our son for the first time in months. Everything about Harbor Island and your condo was such a relaxing and rewarding experience. I would highly recommend anyone traveling to Parris Island to contact Gloria she is wonderful and if her condo is not available she has many friends in the area that do have condos. The price is affordable and the beach and surrounding area is a wonderful place to remeber with your new Marine and family. Parris Island is only about 20 min drive and easy travel from the condo. I will cherish these memories always and they will remain dear to my heart. God Bless you Gloria and thank you so very much!!! Warmest regards, Mary Cozzens PMP of Cozzens India Co Plt 3086 10/3/2008

    • Gloria, Thanks so much for your hospitality during our stay for our daugher's graduation from boot camp at Parris, Island. Everything was excellent beyond our expectations. We enjoyed it so much we just had to stay another day to fish. We enjoyed walking on the beach and swimming in the pool. The scenery was beautiful. Your help with our accommodations and directions were very much appreciated. Hope we can come again, The Quick Family

      Hello Gloria, first let me apologize for not writing sooner. Sometimes things get out of control, while you away. That's what has happened here. Anyway, things were super. All the months leading up to vacation, your expectations grow. Praying that you did the right planning, lodging, etc... Sometimes even stressful. Family members coming from out of state. Well, your condo was far better, than any of us could of asked for. The people at Harbor Island were the nicest staff members. Friendly, and very helpful in getting around, since the bridge accident. Everything, was what your web site stated. The pool area, the boardwalk, and the beach was wonderful. The best time is in the morning, while walking the beaches. There is an entirely new world (life) on the beach. To see the crabs, birds, and trawlers is quite an experience. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home, on the beach. Now when we say, lets go to the beach, or make any reference to the beach, (It won't mean Myrtle) we have a special place in our memories, and our hearts. Thank you again. In case someone wants to use a charter: Cast Away Charters, Capt. Tim Deckard 843-322-1043 (h) 843-321-1768 (C) rates are very reasonable, and did what ever it took for us to bring home fish. We even caught a 54 pound String Ray. You just never know what we get into. We even had my 6 year old grandson with us. He was entertained with some extra chores on the boat. Shrimp Shack is the place to be for seafood. Good stuff. Steamers is excellent, (a little pricey, frogmore stew is to die for)..haha You have my permission to use any of this e-mail for your guest book comments. Once again, Thank you........You will be hearing from us again.....and for our friends also........
