Lovely Oceanside Condo Near Hunting Island! Near Pool & B
- Minimum stay:2 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Hunting Island State Park offers a handful of cabins and houses to rent along with tent campgrounds and RV hookups. Due to the demand, the houses and cabins are often reserved a year in advance. If you are in the mood to experience Hunting Island's natural beauty while enjoying the comforts of home, stay in our lovely condo next door on Harbor Island.
Welcome to a bird-watcher's paradise! Harbor Island recently has been given the coveted classification as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by the National Audubon Society.
Harbor Island is one mile from Hunting Island and is a gated community that treasures the natural beauty and serenity of the area. Harbor Island's 2-1/2 miles of white sand beach and untouched dunes are carefully protected.
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 dunes at the end of our building and proceeds directly to the beach--a 60-second walk over untouched dunes.
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.

We wanted a quick getaway to the beach with our little ones before school started back & we could'nt have asked for a nicer condo or nicer people to rent from. John & Gloria are wonderful. The condo is in the perfect location and is spacious & clean! We felt like we had the beach to ourselves and we didn't want to leave. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable and we can't wait to visit again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was our first time to Harbor Island and we truely enjoyed the peace and quiet.The condo was very nice and clean had everything that you would need and the island is very well kept also.Lots and lots of birds to watch. Hunting Park is about a mile away its a must see. Beaufort is about 15 minutes away you need to go there also. The low country is just so beautiful! We have been using vrbo for the past 10 years and i have to say that Gloria is one of the nicest persons that we have dealt with.She is so kind and helpful.Hope to be back again in the future and book this same condo again.Thanks again Gloria!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much for your kind words! You were a delight to work with as well, and we are thrilled you had such an enjoyable time. We love the peace, quiet, and birds as well and never tire of the endless variations of nature on the beach. Please do come again any time.

The condo was very nice and comfortable. Much larger than I expected. I was also very shocked at exactly how close your condo was to the beach. Nothing like an early morning walk on the beach, and all the beautiful birds hidden on Harbor Island. Definitely on my favorites list when I return to visit again, and if available I will ask to rent again. A friend and I attended the Women's coastal skills clinic on Hunting Island that was all weekend. We were taught many skills, such as, shore birding, crabbing, knot tying, shrimping and many others. It was definitely an adventure packed weekend, and we loved every moment. Thank you again for the use of your condo. Till next timeRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our family of four found time to get away for a long weekend. The condo was just right for us. Close to the beach and pool. We had a great time sitting on the beach watching the kids play. We visited nearby hunting island state park and climbed to the top of the 100+ year old lighthouse. The view from top is amazing. Lots of things we did not have time for so I'm sure we will be back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

A most enjoyable vacation. Our unit was immaculate and very well furnished. The property was well maintained with lovely landscaping. It was nice to be there at this time of year (no crowds and incredible weather). Sure hated to see the week end!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Long walk over dunes to beach. Condo above us was very noisey. You could hear running, pounding, and every step taken. Would have loved to have quiet and relaxing morinings and evenings. Can't see the ocean from back balcony, but close to a small pool. Had some plumbing problems that had to be taken care of while there. Beach is wonderful, and so are the guards and employees of the Island. Bought some roach spray and killed as many as we could. Condo was fairly clean, needed a good dusting and carpet cleaning. Enjoyed the beach with my family. The Gills were easy to work with. Thanks for the rental of your property.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.
Owner response: My husband and I were very sorry to learn about the issues that interferred with this family's vacation enjoyment. We were also quite sorry to have learned about them after the fact. Had we known early on, we could have taken measures to reverse them. We have had overwhelmingly positive responses from renters over the years. This one is our first negative one. We address all his complaints below. The walk on the baordwalk across the dunes to the ocean takes about 90 seconds. We have attempted to describe as clearly as possible our location in relation to the beach. If we had been notified of noisy neighbors, we would have called them and asked them to make less noise. The few times this has happened in the past, the upstairs neighbors have always been glad to cooperate. We do not understand the issue of not being able to see the ocean from our deck for you can clearly see the ocean and shrimp boats working out in the bay. The renter contacted us about a toilet running and no hot water in the shower. The renter called back 10 minutes later and said she jiggled the toilet handle and the toilet stopped running. Her husband called back 5 minutes after his wife and said the screw on the shower handle was loose and after he tightened it, the hot water worked fine. We had the plumbing company go to the condo anyway to check everything out that same day. Yes, the beach and staff at Harbor Island are wonderful! We are pleased to say the island is well managed. We, too, hate roaches as much as anyone. In the south, however, roaches are part of life, unlike in the north. The Cedar Reef Villa Home Owners Association has a running contract with a pest control company who spray inside and outside of the condos every month. Additionly we put out roach traps. We have our condo professionally cleaned after each use. That is not to say that beach dust and sand do not get into our condo. We have the carpets cleaned at least once a year or when our cleaning crew recommend it to be done. We are glad that the renter still enjoyed the beach with his family and that they found us responsive to the issues they reported to us. Over the years, we have consistently received positive reviews. While we accept that we cannot control all circumstances (particularly if we are unaware they are occurring), we always attempt to do everything possible to resolve issues and ensure that renters leave having had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

What a wonderful week we had while staying in your condo! This is our third year to visit Harbor Island and your condo was the best yet! It was clean, comfortable, yet beautifully decorated. Our daughter, her husband, and our three grandchildren stayed in the L building. Their condo was directly across from yours, which was so convenient for the three little ones to make their way over! We cooked most of the meals in your condo, and even though it is a one bedroom, the living/dining area had so much room - and the dining table (octagon shape) could easily handle 8-9 adults around it when we had a few other guests to arrive for dinner! The location was perfect and we certainly enjoyed the deck facing the pool! The week was filled with most of our time spent on the beach taking walks, the pool/poolside,visiting downtown Beaufort (which is absolutely beautiful) and just plain relaxing in your wonderful home! We will definitely return to your condo again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Gloria, We have fallen in love with that part of the world. Your condo had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed 2 sunrises, and a few very long walks on the beach in the evening. It is just glorious in that part of the world. Your condo was perfect in every way. We wanted for nothing! We loved the area so much that we are thinking it may be the ideal spot to bring the lovely Madeleine Brady as her new home. We are hoping to head back in December of January for a longer stay and to get to know the area a bit more. Thank you for your lovely condo and kindness. Warmly, VernaRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
