Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful 5BR House-Marsh & Ocean-Wi-Fi-Parris Island Discount
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
We discovered the area by accident. My husband's dad had just passed away and we needed a vacation. We threw the kids in the car (they were little then) and headed south. We ended up staying on Seabrook Island. Loved the area so much, we bought a small condo. a couple of years later, someone made us an offer we couldn't refuse and we sold our condo on Seabrook in 2005 and purchased our home on Harbor. I chose Harbor because it was still "undiscovered" and had a certain charm. We fell in love with the simple things Harbor had to offer. Once on the Island you have access to the amenities. The pristine beach, beautiful marshes, awesome pools, tennis courts, volleyball, fitness center. Matt has discovered the joys of fishing. It is hassle free, you can just go out to the beach, or under the bridge, or peir fish at Hunting. Charters are available. Next time we go he is going to try to fish from the kayak! I love to relax at the ocean and pools. We both enjoy biking, hiking and golfing (plenty of courses within 30 minute drive). Hunting State Park is a mile down the road and is a must see when visiting. The town of Beaufort is so charming with its old homes, shops and restuarants. Parris Island is about 20 minutes away. I have many families stay for the son/daughter's Marine graduation..I love that I am somehow a part of those family reunions!
The Unique Benefits at this House
You will enjoy the ever changing tides, wild life and peacefulness of the area. You can just relax, or take advantage of the amenities of the Island. Group volleyball games are a blast, (I love volleyball). The pool, playground area is great for families with smaller children. You are not partitioned off from everyone..the baby pool is next to the playground and larger pool. Pack your cooler and spend the day! I have some bikes, beach chairs, beach toys etc..for you to use when renting from me. I hope you choose to stay with us..it truly is a vacation you will always remember.

From Guestbook entry: Dear Karen and family; Day one-coming from 0 degrees to 60+ was the beginning of what would be an awesome family week. We combined our 25th wedding anniversary, flying our sons friends/family to attend our youngest sons Marine Graduation. My husband and I came early to enjoy alone time and check out the local surroundings before everyone else arrived late Weds....this home was perfect for us. There was every convenience we needed. Everyone commented on how nice it was decorated. We were going to stay in hotels and took the chance to stay here. It was perfect and everyone could have their own space if need be. We really enjoyed having all our family together. Staying a night after graduation was a great way to wind down and reflect family day and graduation. The Six family

from guest book: I was very scepticale about renting a vacation home over the internet, but this has been a wonderful retreat for our family. We enjoyed the pool, the beach and Hunting Island. We did a day trip to Beaufort. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We did our best to take good care of your home so we would be welcomed to return. We look forward to spending another vacation here in the future. The Essex Family

Thank you Karen! I just hope that one day our paths will take us back to your home. Or Maybe it will lead us to purchase a home there in that area. I loved it sooooo much. I still can remember the smells, the ocean, the marsh, I will never forget it! GOD be with you and your family and Thank you!

Hey Karen. Just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful time in your house. It was so beautiful!!! Everyone was really amazed. It felt so much like home. It definately made the trip worthwhile. My 2 1/2 year old daughter fell in love with it and still calls it "the Blue House". The weather was great except for some rain on Thursday but we were mostly inside all day anyway. I was a proud father to see my son become a man and I appreciate you opening up your home for us. It made the experience all the more special. Once again, thank you and may God Bless you and your family. Jake

Hey Karen! I just can't tell you how much I LOVED Harbor Island. I mean, I truly fell in love with Harbor Island, Beaufort, and all of the Low Country area!! Beyond being a great place to stay for Matthew's Parris Island graduation, it was just a beautiful vacation spot. I just thought it was all so wonderful. I'm so glad to have found it (and your lovely vacation home). As soon as we got home I started looking online to buy a home on Harbor Island, but all too quickly my hopes were realized as Eric, my husband, noted that the prices were a little out of our price range. So, here's to dreaming - and if we won't be your neighbor, then I do hope to come, at least, visit again! Thanks again for introducing us to such a lovely place! Chloe CFP
