Map & Owner's Profile
Charming Yellow Beach House - Sleeps 8 with Wi-Fi
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Harbor Island
We chose to buy a house on Harbor Island because it was one of the last places we have been on the east coast that isn't commercially developed. The sense of being "away from it all" definitely hits us whenever we arrive. We enjoy having cocktails on our porch while sitting on the rocking chairs and chatting with our lovely neighbors.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach Cottage
We love the miles of beach and the amazing wildlife. The spring is a special time to watch birds in full plumage, and the summer always brings back the turtles. My mom and our great friend from England watched hatchlings head for the sea one August morning, and they found it to be an incredibly moving experience. We also love the fall and winter for the warmth and sunshine. Our children adore riding the golf cart to the beach club to play on the swing set or to swim in the pools. We love to play tennis too, so we always bring our rackets! You can also find us in Beaufort taking our friends on the horse drawn carriage tours of historic Beaufort, or dining at the great restaurants there. Our favorites places to go are Saltus River Grill, Plums, Bateaux, and The Beaufort Inn. When we want to go for a very casual meal with our children, we love to swing by the JCT which is very close to Harbor Island as is the Shrimp Shack. Giles swears by the shrimp burger at the JCT!
Yellow Beach House just steps from the ocean and wonderfully relaxing!
Owner's Map of Harbor Island
Hi! Our names are Jill and Giles. We live in the Washington, DC area and we have owned our home on Harbor Island since 2004. We find that our life can really become hectic with two small children, but when we get to Beaufort we truly relax. The people are wonderfully nice, and the pace of life is fabulous. We always miss our lovely home the minute we leave it!
