Thank you for your review! We are so glad you had a nice time!
Incredibly clean, well appointed, well stocked and comfortable condo! The view was perfect, and the communication with the host could not have been better! My pup was as happy as we were! She loved boofing at people, it’s a pug thing. My sons enjoyed their room and having their own bathroom. The only suggestion I could give is to bring a bathtub mat as it is a wee bit slippery. I actually miss the bed there, it was that comfortable! We will absolutely book with this property manager again!
We had a great stay at this beach villa on Harbor Island! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, and the pool was a definite bonus. Be aware that low tide goes way out, but it was still beautiful and peaceful. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Really enjoyed our stay! The view was the best part! House was very clean and had all we needed. Reserving the pool was a pain but we were able to get in 5 out of the 7 days and had pool to ourselves and one other family for an hour! Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you Ashley! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you back!
The unit has a nice ocean view and has been recently updated, including the living room furniture. It’s a nice layout, in that the bedrooms and bathrooms are well separated. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here and the new furniture in the unit!
A perfect place for me to unwind and visit with my son who recently moved to Beaufort! I loved watching the dolphins in the morning playing while having my tea on the balcony after greeting each sunrise with my puppy on our daily walks! I had everything I needed for a relaxing stay on beautiful Harbor Island. I will definitely be back!!

Thank you for the review Catherine and we are so glad you enjoyed your visit. We look forward to your return and certainly a huge thank you for your son's service.
We had a great time. It was cool and windy but having that view made up for not being able to sit on the beach. Loved bringing our pup too. It's a beautiful condo and complex!

Thank you so much for the review. We hope you come stay with us again and hopefully the weather will be a bit better.
We have stayed at VRBOs all over the US, Canada, Scotland and Ireland. This was without a doubt the cleanest and most well appointed kitchen of any. Better than advertised.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at this condo. Please come again!
Plenty of space for our family of 4 and dogs! It’s a 3rd floor walk up so be prepared but the view is amazing and can’t be beat! Plenty of towels and dishes to cook all your meals. But also 2 great places right out the gate to eat too! Pool and beach are so close-we had a great week and would love to come
Back
Yes but needs to have choice of floors in listing. Had no idea it was on the third story. Had problems getting old dog and old people up that many stairs

Thank you for your 5 star review although it appears it applied to the property we had to move you from down to a lower level unit. As in industry standard in both hotels and condominiums, units are most commonly numbered by floor, with the first one or two digits indicating the floor level. The remaining digits identify the individual room or unit on that floor. The condo number is the in property description however there is also specific language to include this text: Welcome to villa M318 on Harbor Island. This 2 bedroom 2 bath corner villa provides an open floor plan that is bright and spacious. Located on the third floor, so there are some stairs to get in.
We do try to make sure our descriptions are accurate and best prepare folks for their stay. Thank you!
Probably the cleanest property we have ever rented. Only thing someone may want to know...and it's not with the property itself...but the beach/ocean. The tide goes very far out for hours. You may walk over a mile to get to the water during low tide.

Great for a long weekend!
Our rental was clean, well appointed, and in the center of the island. Corner, top unit of three stories, so it was pretty quiet. Harbor Island is fantastic, the beach is teeming with life, and great for small children because there is no rough surf. And having the very nice pool(s!!) to enjoy was an excellent break from the beaches. So many friendly people! South Carolina’s little secret! We will surely be back to the Island as well as the condo!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We welcome you back anytime!
An easy third floor walk-up. Not bad. First thing you see as you enter is a beautiful view of the ocean. It also looks out over the pool. The condo is clean, open and has lots of light. Kitchen has everything you need. It is a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and are already discussing another visit.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay and would be happy to have you back!
Our condo was amazing!! We had no trouble getting in, and when we did, we were stunned. Everything was immaculately clean. There was more space than we expected. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. The decor was thoughtful and homey. We were on the top floor, so everything was quiet (though the stairs became tiring--our fault). Everything about our stay was wonderful.

Thank you so much for the nice review. We certainly enjoyed having you stay with us and hope you come back soon!
This two bedroom, two full bath condo is next to heaven. The layout is thoughtful and has plenty of space for privacy. I loved that it had a small washer/dryer in the unit and the kitchen was well stocked. This condo is on the 3rd floor so you will get your steps for the week which was fine for us. I recommend getting your groceries delivered from Publix! Couches were new, the beds were comfortable, and the porch was wonderful to watch the sunrise and dolphins in the morning! Highly recommend this condo!
