Only had 3 days, but it was wonderful. Great place to walk, lots of nature watching, and relaxing!! The condo was very comfortable and we could bring our furry friend, Charlie.

Third floor with a wonderful view of the pool and the ocean. The decor was wonderful and skillfully carried out throughout the unit!. Very relaxing just to sit, enjoy the view, read and relax! Limited access to Harbor Island community makes for a secure stay. I would certainly recommend making this your destination for a laid back retreat!

Owner response:Great that your birthday weekend was a good one. Thanks for your comments. Come again! Joy

My daughter and I felt right at home in this wonderful condo - we could even see the sunrise right off the porch deck! Everything was well taken care of, clean and well equipped - the photos and description are accurate, but this place was even better in person - I highly recommend this property.

Owner response:Thanks for the review. Wonderful to know that you enjoyed your stay. Please come again. Joy

Thank you for sharing your condo with us. We enjoyed our stay at "Birds I Vue". The only thing that would have made our time sweeter would have been to have had more time off. You have created a unique and comfortable atmosphere for a beach getaway! The photos, although wonderful, don't do the condo or location justice.

Owner response:So happy your stay was enjoyable. Please come again. Reminder, return stay = 10% discount. Joy

Joy, Your condo is like a treasure box! There is something fun or unique to see everywhere you look. The furnishings are comfortable and the view is great. One thing we liked about your condo compared to others we have rented in the same building is that it is not right over the pool. We really appreciated the quieter atmosphere.That slow down and relax attitude of Harbor Island is why we keep coming back. Thank you for being pet friendly. Our dog also loves Harbor Island, and we can't wait to come back!

Owner response:Thank you for posting your comments. Very happy that you enjoyed your stay. Please come again. Joy

"WONDERFUL" Three generations had the best time w/treasured memories. A real girl retreat w/ all the lovely things in your condo to make our time together just right. Mom loved your sunroom! Jackie Onassis (our dog)& Max (Jack Russell) so loved the great adventure being @ the beach. We enjoyed the big pool ...all to ourselves. Will emai photos. The trip fulfilled what I needed "to relax".& do nothing if wanted. Thank you so much for being dog friendly. Hope to meet you sometimes in the Great Smokey Mountains.

LOVED THE CONDO - LOTS OF CHARACTER. The enclosed balcony was great! We will be back. Peaceful & Quiet. Nicest people around here....Love the pet friendly beach...Pepper loved it, too! I caught a 2 ft. sand shark my first day here. Yes, I have a picture. STRANGE TIDES --- VERY LOW. Even people who had been here before commented on how low the tide was. Every day we had to run the "grasshopper Gauntlet" across the boardwalk. Not a problem Got used to it. Biggest grasshopers I've ever seen

This was just what we needed! A perfect getaway in a sweet island "beach hut" on a pretty island! We loved the beach & so did our Lab. The pool was pleasant.... the owls nesting were great! We explored Hunting Island State Parks...completely gorgeous! And our dining expedetions were Paninis(yummy pizza...enough for dinner & lunch the next day) & Luther's Rx just what the doctor ordered & Weegie's Crab Shack (it took a little dishwasher liquid to get the smell away! ha ha!) Thank you Joy...for sharing your joy with others! Take care! Best wishes always. "The Girls"

This was a wonderful weekend for us. We're already talking about doing it again. I loved the beach decor & D. liked the peace & quiet. It was an advantagious locale for the 50th anniversary dinner that he needed to attend & I got to be here w/our "girls". The elevator ride was a first for them, but they caught on quickly. They also loved the screen porch as did we! Since we have a back & front one @ home, it worked out perfectly for them. You're so right about this being pet friendly but it's also people friendly & that's a lovely thing, too. Thanks again & God Bless...The O's

Your condo is wonderful, so attractive and clean and the views are outstanding! Would recommend both Gay's Fresh seafood just off the island as we purchased jumbo shrimp several times and did shrimp cocktails. Also, the Shrimp Shack has not only wonderful food but great prices! I never saw a hundred people on a beautiful beach on any day during our stay--it was like having a private beach and the pools are delightful as well. It was so easy for us to meet other visitors to the island at the pools. Harbor Island is a great, beautiful secret that is for anyone wanting to see a beautiful beach. This is a great condo that you have and we really enjoyed the privacy as well as the fine seafood. Hope you will let me come back sometime in the near future.
