Located one mile from the entrance to Hunting Island State Park, our unit at Cedar Reef Villas is decorated in a soothing, tropical style. It features one bedroom (one-and-one-half baths) with a deck off the living room and one off the master bedroom, which was recently refitted with a new king-size bed. All bed linens and towels are provided. The living room sofa converts to a queen-sized bed. Unit sleeps a total of 4.
Here is a typical comment from our guest book, "Staying in this wonderful Harbor Island Villa made our visit perfect. John and Renee have thought of everything to make this a relaxing and memorable stay."
The kitchen is equipped with a new stove and oven for the gourmet chef-wannabe in your family. Stop at Publix on your way out of Beaufort. It is on the left after you cross Lady's Island bridge over the intercostal waterway after you go through downtown Beaufort on Route 21. Or, stop at Gay's Seafood (right) before you cross the Harbor River Bridge across from the famous (featured in Coastal Living) Shrimp Shack.
This is a great unit for families with children because you can see your children at the pool from the deck. Take 20 steps across the grass and you are at the pool. A five-minute walk takes you to the exercise center in the lower level of the Beach Cabana Club. The club property features an large pool with four tennis courts. A putting green is nearby.
*** ABOUT THE AREA ***
Harbor Island is the island right before you reach Hunting Island State Park. It is part of the 350,000-acre ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve (ACE Basin NERR), created and managed by the Marine Resources Division of South Carolina.
The ACE Basin Refuge lies along the Atlantic Flyway - the 'bird highway in the sky.' Numerous waterfowl, shore birds, neo-tropical songbirds and birds of prey migrate from their nesting grounds to wintering areas throughout eastern North America.
At certain times of the year, you will share the ocean water with glowing green phosphorescent plankton or loggerhead sea turtles. (Do not forget to Help Save Our Turtles - lights off on the beach at night between May 1 and September 1.) A sighting of a leatherback turtle, the largest living turtle species, occurred last year on Hunting Island, the next island over.
If you are interested in fishing - the 1120-foot, former Paradise Pier is now part of Hunting Island State Park, the last island boundary in the ACE Basin chain.
Speaking of Hunting Island, we would be remiss if we did not mention the historic Hunting Island lighthouse that was in operation until 1933. Originally constructed in 1859 and rebuilt in 1875 after the Civil War, 167 steps and 50 cents will take you to the top for a fabulous view. It is only two miles away.
Time to go out on the town? Beaufort provides a delightful backdrop. First inhabited by native Americans and then the Spanish in the 1500s, historical areas are every where. Antebellum homes from before the Civil War border the waterfront as do great restaurants and a small park and marina. Beaufort also hosts a thriving artists community and it is only 14 miles away! A hour or so drive will take you to Savannah or Charleston, beautiful southern cities that make great day trips.
