Pamper yourself with a vacation at this luxurious beach villa. We take great care to provide everything you need for your stay - from beautiful, comfortable furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen with new appliances, to the small details that make renting more enjoyable, such as over 100 digital TV and music channels including HBO, ample and high quality toiletries, pantry necessities and laundry supplies. We specialize in flexible rental schedules including partial week rentals and mid-week check-in during the summer. Our goal is to provide a perfect beach vacation for those who appreciate the very best.
The master bedroom and the living room overlook the ocean from this second-floor villa. The guest bedroom has its own bathroom and can be closed off from the rest of the living space. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece or to simply prepare and enjoy the fresh local seafood. The entire villa is tastefully decorated with upscale furniture including leather sofas, a formal glass dining table, and beautiful new suites in both bedrooms.
Relax and sip a glass of wine on the private balcony overlooking the ocean, swim in the villa complex's private pool, or take a long walk on Harbor Island's spectacular beach. You will also have free access to the beach club with its Olympic-size pool, fitness center, playground and tennis courts. While you will be tempted to never leave the island, the area has excellent recreational opportunities with several beautiful and challenging golf courses nearby, plentiful fishing, crabbing, and shrimping, as well as unique shopping opportunities in historic downtown Beaufort.
Harbor Island is a small gated community located near Fripp Island and Hunting Island State Park, surrounded by the ocean and Saint Helena Sound. Once you have discovered the unique beauty and privacy of Harbor Island, you will want to return every year.

Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
After renting twice on Harbor Island, we fell in love with the peace and beauty of the island. It is very hard to find a beach in the Carolinas that is as large and uncrowded as Harbor Island and the Beaufort area retains its rural character even today.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Harbor Island is a private residential beach community, not a resort. There is none of the hustle and bustle of nearby resort islands. There are relatively few condo units on the island, and our villa is located in the newest building. This is the only building on the island with villas on a single level, which makes it perfect for younger children and older folks alike. The building directly overlooks the water, with the large end of the beach at the end of the villa's boardwalk.
Owner's Map of Harbor Island
We are a professional couple from Charleston and we love to spend as much time as possible on the island. We are pleased to share our villa with guests who are looking for a beautiful and tranquil environment for relaxing at the beach. We have rented many properties at the beach ourselves over the years and understand what it takes to make a vacation convenient and trouble-free. We are proud to offer our guests amenities not usually found when renting through an agency - such as laundry products, paper towels and bath tissue, toiletries, basic spices and kitchen necessities and the like. We are also happy to help our guests plan their vacations by offering a detailed villa guide that outlines what can be found in the villa, as well as information on the local Beaufort and Sea Island area.
This is our only vacation property and we manage it ourselves, so we can give your vacation the attention it deserves. Because we do not book the property as heavily as others, we are able to ensure that the high quality of the furnishings and amenities are maintained. We are also happy to accommodate mid-week and partial week rental dates, even during the summer season.

The accomodations were great, the views of the ocean (shrimp boats and dolphins)were fantastic, and the availability of multiple pools, childrens playground was appreciated. We will definitely be back!

We want you to be aware of our flexible refund/reschedule policy to ensure guest safety during hurricane season. If Harbor Island is included in the NOAA five day forecast zone for a named storm, and you wish to cancel or reschedule your reservation, all you have to do is contact us. We will work with you to either refund your payments, pro-rate them to a partial stay or allow you to reschedule your vacation to another open date. We know that hurricane evacuations and arrangements can be extremely stressful, and we encourage our guests to do what they feel is best for their family in these situations. If you are staying at the villa and a mandatory evacuation is issued, PLEASE heed the local authorities immediately. The unused portion of your rental can be refunded, so do not hesitate to call us once you have reached safety. These situations have been rare on Harbor Island, but we want you to know that your safety is important to us and you can be assured that we are more than happy to assist you in any way that makes your vacation more relaxing and trouble-free.
