Welcome to our Home at Harbor Island.
Harbor Island is a private gated coastal barrier island community 12 miles South from Historical Beaufort South Carolina. Our pristine secluded beach stretches 3 miles of the Atlantic Ocean Coast Line tall in natural wind swept dunes, sea oats, coastal grasses, and native wildlife. Where you can watch dolphins at play in the surf and shrimp boats passing lazily bye.
1400 acre Island surronded by the Atlantic Ocean, Harbor River and Johnsons Creek. Intertwined with miles of Saltwater Canals, Creeks and Marsh. A natural habitat for over 1500 varieties of native and migrating birds and plenty of coastal life. The Atlantic Ocean, Harbor River, Streams and Canals offer plenty of Shrimping, Crabbing and Fishing right on the Island There are many activities on the Island with the Harbor Island Beach & Racket Club offering a large oversized Community Pool, Kiddie Pool, Tennis Courts, Workout Room, Volley Ball, Kids Play Area, Putting Green and more. There are two local public boat landing nearby.
Also we are located just 2 short miles from the entrance to Hunting Island South Carolina's most visited State Park offering its own lighthouse, beach and fishing pier.
The area is surrounded with many exceptional golf courses located just a few minutes drive such as the renowned PGA champion Davis Love III's signature Ocean Creek only 10 minutes away as well as the George Cobb designed Ocean Point which offers spectacular oceanfront views along its challenging holes.
Day trip visits to Hilton Head SC 40 minutes, Savannah GA 1 hour and Charleston SC 1 hour 40 minutes away.
This Key West designed tropical island home has wonderful unobstructed views featuring the Harbor River, Harbor River Swing Bridge, Marsh. There is a saltwater tidal canal which is connected to the property and provides access for kayaking, fishing and crabbing. Also the views of the sunset from the family room of the house is spectacular. As you can see from the photos the house has plenty of windows and fills with natural light.
Minutes to the beach and is one of the few houses on the island that comes with its own 4 passanger Golfcart for easy access to all the island has to offer. There are 3 bedrooms. 2 downstairs each with there own queen size bed and upstairs there is a bedroom with 1 full and 2 twin beds. All beds are of high quality for a goodnights sleep. The upstairs bedroom has a seperate TV DVD and VCR making it great for kids or adults.
The family room has 4 large sliding glass doors offering the best views from inside where you can see the shrimp boats huge the shoreline and the sunset that poors its evening colors into the room. On the 4th of July the upstair view facing out the front of the house offers a surprising view of 3 seperate firework displays featuring Beaufort, Parris Island/Port Royal and Hilton Head. There are two full baths with plenty of towels and linens.
The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, pans and most everything you will need. There is a Kenmore Elite Washer & Dryer for laundry. Outside there is a seperate shower to wash and rinse off from your outdoor fun. We love our beautiful home and keep it well maintained. Hope to have you visit and enjoy it too.
This is strickly a no pets allowed home. We understand your pets are part of your family but since we do state no pets it would not be fair to other renters especially those who have pet allergies to allow pets. Thank you for you understanding.

Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
When we purchased the home we did not intend for it to be a rental. It was for personal reasons. The area is beautiful, quiet, full of wildlife and great views. Whats not to love.
