Stunning Ocean and Marsh View - Golf Cart Included!
This updated ocean view home comes complete with a golf cart, propane gas grill, beach towels, use of the neighborhood pool and a great ocean view! You will fall in love with the panoramic ocean view seen across acres of beautiful tidal marsh from this updated home.
Tucked into a cul-de-sac in the neighborhood of Nautical Watch, this home is less than a minute's walk to the Nautical Watch pool--available only to Nautical Watch owners and guests, and a quick 3 minute golf cart ride to the Beach and Racquet Club. This home is light, bright, and beachy….offering all of the comforts of home with a spectacular ocean view. 31 Nautical Watch has abundant natural light, with sliding glass doors in the living area, the master bedroom and one guest bedroom, and large windows in the dining area, kitchen, and second guest bedroom.
Entering the home, you can see straight through the living area to the marsh and ocean beyond. A dining area comfortably seating six is to your right, with a pass through to the galley style kitchen with plenty of storage room in the pantry for your groceries.
Kick back in the living area where ample seating includes a comfortable sofa, a pair of ""stress less"" recliners with ottomans, an armchair with ottoman, and a rocking chair. (Please note the fireplace seen in the photos is decorative only, it is not a working fireplace.) There is a flat screen cable television and a DVD player in the living area, but we promise it is going to be hard to take your eyes off the view! The living area opens onto a large deck stretching across the marsh/ocean view side of the home, with a table and chairs, and an umbrella to keep you comfortable. You can watch the tides ebb and flow through the tidal marsh where herons, egrets, ibis and wood storks often pause to catch their dinners.
Beyond the marsh you can see the Atlantic Ocean and across Johnsons Creek to the maritime forests of neighboring Hunting Island State Park.The large master bedroom features a king sized bed, 26"" flat screen television, and a full, private attached bath boasting a beautifully renovated (2022) walk in shower! A sliding glass door in the master conveniently opens onto the ocean view deck. What a way to start your day! On the opposite side of the living area is a short hallway accessing the guest bedrooms, second full bath (also renovated as of 2022), and laundry closet with full sized washer and dryer. One guest bedroom has a queen bed, plenty of drawer and closet space, flat screen cable television, and also offers private access to the bath. This bedroom, like the master, opens onto the back ocean view deck by way of sliding glass doors. The second guest bedroom is at the front of the home and is great for children, with flatscreen cable television and both a single daybed and a double bed that could sleep two.
Harbor Island is gated beach community on a small barrier island, 14 miles southeast of charming, historic Beaufort SC. The island is bordered by the Harbor River on the north, Saint Helena Sound and the Atlantic to the east, and Johnsons creek to the south. Harbor is very much a get away from it all location, with nothing commercial inside of our gates. Also at the BRC you will enjoy use of the Olympic sized pool overlooking the marshes of the Harbor River, a small kiddie wading pool, a playground, sand volleyball court, tennis courts and a well-equipped fitness center. Nearby Beaufort offers plenty of options for off-island enjoyment. Downtown Beaufort offers fun boutique shopping, horse and carriage rides through the historic district filled with beautiful antebellum homes, and a gorgeous waterfront public park stretching along the Beaufort River where you can watch boats passing by or docking in the marina.
Dolphin watch and other day cruise boats leave from the marina and offer great opportunities to see the lovely lowcountry scenery from the water. There are many dining options from fine dining to fast food, and fresh caught local seafood is a favorite both at restaurants and seafood markets.
Depending on the time of year, you may want to try your hand at catching your own shrimp, crab or fish. Hunting Island has a wonderful fishing pier, and fishing off of the beach and in the creeks is permissible. For information about SC fishing regulations and licensing, visitors are advised to visit the website for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
If you are interested in exploring farther afield, historic Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, SC are easy day trips. Savannah is a little over an hour away, Charleston about two hours. And the Hilton Head/Bluffton area, with outlet shops galore, is about an hour away.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. We had an amazing view of the ocean from the back deck and the golf cart included in the rental offered easy transport to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

We came here as a get away for our annual family Thanksgiving gathering. The house is anmazing and well stocked with everything we needed. The views are beautiful. I loved watching the Marsh throughout the day.
The one extra thing we could have wished for is coffee filters (basket style, not cones) or knowledge of what kind we needed to bring.

Jenny, thank you so much for the nice review. We do hope you visit again soon. So sorry about the coffee filters. Coffee makers get replaced so frequently, we have a hard time keeping up with the style everyone has. We hope it was not too much of an inconvenience.
We took one last beach trip for 2023. The place was amazing. Our family relaxed on the beach and spent hours on the back deck overlooking the ocean. Great place and wonderful hosts.

We had a wonderful relaxing vacation despite the weather. It was our first time staying on Harbor Island and we’ll definitely be back. Loved looking out on the marsh and seeing all the various marsh birds. Super place with everything you need for your stay.

This house was amazing! The back porch views were a highlight for us. It was EXTREMELY clean, well organize, and well stocked. Sea Island Rentals were so easy to work with and helped our check in and check out process go very smoothly. We can't wait to rent this house again.

The house is very clean with very beautiful art decorations. The gadgets, pots, and pans in the kitchen is more than we could ask for. Location is good and the golf cart adds more convenience. Definitely one of the best!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Oceanmarsh Subdivision. The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The staff at the property management company were very helpful and friendly and along with the property owner made us feel very welcome! The added bonus of the golf cart just made the stay even more enjoyable. We hope to be able to come back soon!

This was one of our best beach vacations. Everything was perfect! Clean, well-stocked kitchen, beach toys for the kids, stunning view of the marsh, and a golf cart for easy access to the beach. Excellent communication with the rental management agency. No problems. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the nice review. We are happy to know you enjoyed the house and Harbor Island! We hope to have you back soon!
The home we stayed in was everything as advertised. Very nice inside and out. The one thing I would suggest that would really make the experience over the top would be to make sure the golf cart has working lights for riding around at night. When sun set, we had to always return to the house because it was illegal to ride around without working lights.
Overall though, it was a great experience and we would certainly stay there again without hesitation.

We appreciate you letting us know the golf cart lights were not working. The owner has since had the lights repaired. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to have the opportunity to assist you with future vacation plans.
This house was fantastic. Smelled very clean upon arrival and was perfect for our family of 5. My only complaint is that I was under the impression we could get a few libations from the Club House pool area but it's been closed (for a while now). Even so, would definitely come back to Harbor Island! It is beautiful, not crowded, a great place for families (especially young children- the tides/beaches are great for them) and over all just a really nice place! Also, the golf cart made it all the more fun. We now say we can't go anywhere that does not have one. =) Thanks for sharing your home we hope to be back!

Rooms with a view
All the excellent reviews are true. This was our second visit to this beautiful beach house; we love this place and Harbor Island so much. The house is spacious, attractively decorated, extraordinarily comfortable and supplied with everything you need. A unique attribute is the collection of original artwork by Alice Feagan. A huge plus for us is the exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. The stunning views of marsh, sea and sky change continuously – a much better show than anything on TV and you can watch the sunrise from bed. Just looking out the panoramic windows provides endless enjoyment, but our favorite daily activities were walking the Harbor Island beach, watching the birds and exploring nearby Hunting Island State Park. Charming Beaufort, 20 minutes’ drive across rural St. Helena Island, is loaded with history, art galleries, fun shops and a variety of restaurants. The gated community of Harbor Island is sparsely populated in winter, but everyone we met was welcoming. We feel very lucky to have discovered this magical place.

Your wonderful review of our home away from home at 31 Nautical Watch makes us very happy. Our goal is for anyone who visits here to be comfortable and to have everything needed to ensure that the visit is easy, enjoyable in every way and stress-free. Our outstanding managers, Donna and Karl, are the best, and the natural beauty of the island is a gift we all share and appreciate.
Thank you for staying with us and for making our day with your thoughtful review!🙂�
Needing a getaway from stressful work conditions, we booked this house with less than a week's notice. I can honestly say it was one of my favorite beach houses of all our beach vacations over the years. The view was so peaceful and just what we needed. Quiet mornings on the back porch with the sunrise off to the left were restorative.
The home itself is extremely comfortable. I love the split bedroom plan and the pocket door that allows one to close off the second and third bedroom and a bathroom in case some might want to sleep later than others. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, the best I've ever seen. We cooked every meal in-house for 8 days, including fresh seafood we purchased from Gay's for two meals. Everything we needed was available and the large pantry allowed plenty of room to store the week's food.
We even enjoyed our one rainy day, playing corn hole (that we brought with us) under the house. The breezes blew almost constantly and there was no problem with bugs in late May.
We did have a raccoon pay us a visit on the porch a couple of times before I had a chat with him off the back porch one evening. :-)
The location was perfect for beach going. A cart was even provided making the carrying of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. so much nicer. The management team was exceptionally helpful and responsive.
I can't say enough good things about this house, this island, and our experience. If we return to Harbor Island, I would definitely hope to stay here again.

Peaceful
We arrived on the island on a Saturday. The guards greeted us and took the time to explain the island and give directions. We arrived at the home and we were just thrilled. It is so pretty on the outside. The owner keeps his SUV there so dont be alarmed when you see it. We opened the door and we just so happy. You really feel like you walk into a cozy hug. This home has literally everything you would ever need. Ample supply of towels, beach towels, sheets, pillows..etc. Everytype of culinary cookware is available. The home is filled with sweet family pictures, not too many that you feel intrusive...but just enough to remind you this is someone's home and a lot of love and fun times have been shared here. There are games underneath the TV, small library of books. There were a few spices left over from other guests. Plenty of dinnerware and utensils. The view is stunning. The pictures are extremely accurate. We brought 2 fans with us, for crosswinds to keep the bugs away. We never had any issues with the bugs while out on the porch. The small pool is very very close to the home. We actually never used it. The large Olympic size pool, we never got to use. They do not allow swimmies in the pool and our 18th month old isn't potty trained. There is ice available to buy at the pool house. Average/slightly above price for ice. Not too bad though. Right outside the community to the left is a great fresh seafood mart. The owner there is super nice. We bought jumbo shrimp and huge scallops! We tried the Gay company but they didnt have their jumbo shrimp in yet. We utilized the golf cart daily. We went crabbing all week, unfortunately our trap was too big. We only caught 1 legal size blue crab, and we split it among 5 people. We saw plenty of alligators. The wildlife is beautiful in the marsh. We would just sit out back and count the variety of birds we saw. We did see one alligator in there. We toured the community and at the end is a "point" which is the harbor river. Great fishing spot, my husband caught a baby hammer head. Most of the Fishers there said they were catching a lot of shark. My poor 3 year old got stung by a jelly fish while sitting in the water. There are numerous beach accesses, I recommend going to the endish, the walk to the beach is way shorter. There is one near the house but I swear you walk on the boardwalk forever. I do miss the house and so does my 3 year old. Simply amazing!

We are glad that you had a good week and we really appreciate your taking the time to share your feedback.
We were seeking a comfortable home located in a scenic and relaxing location to celebrate the long-awaited end to 2020 and, most importantly, my wife's birthday. This house surpassed all of our expectations. Not only was it sparkling clean and well equipped, the marsh / ocean views off the back deck were spectacular. The golf cart was also a huge bonus, and the owner even had a small lighted Christmas tree greeting us upon our arrival!

Hi Amanda,
Thank you for staying with us! We love hearing about families enjoying the house and Harbor Island! We look forward to having you back!
We enjoyed our stay and it was our first time at Harbor Island. The home is clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including a spectacular view. Our vacation was in June with still concerns surrounding COVID and many of the facilities were closed. One of the reasons we choose the property was for the pools, work out facility and playground, none of which were open. We based our choice on these facilities so For that reason we were slightly disappointed. Other than that, Our stay was enjoyable.
Just as advertised! Lovely home in a quiet location. Views were amazing. Beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need (except a griddle for making pancakes!). Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely return!

Pleasing home, beautiful views, well equipped kitchen.
We enjoyed our stay, the view was lovely out over the marsh, so active with wildlife. The house decor was lovely, pleasing watercolors and local crafts tastefully arranged, all enhanced the home. The kitchen was meant for real cooks, everything we needed was there, we were able to prepare easily and efficiently. The beds were comfy, the handmade quilts a pleasing plus. The living room furniture was inviting for everyone, the home is well thought out and easy for all five of us. My daughter had fun driving the golf cart to the near by beach, we all enjoyed riding our bikes to Hunting Island park (3 miles) lots of walking trails and interest. The tidal flats were amazing and we appreciated the tide clock to help us track low tide adventures. Nearby Beaufort was wonderful, historic homes, the Spanish Moss Trail, interesting upscale shops, and outdoor dining on the waterfront, We had a great time. Sunny and warm for December holidays.

Wonderful home!!
We absolutely loved our vacation here. The home was very bright, clean, and cheerful as pictures showed. Kitchen had all the needed amenities as we prefer to cook at home. There was also plenty of beach towels and other beachy things. The golf cart was a great way to take drives around the island or a short commute to one of the several beach accesses. The island feels very safe. Was also very quiet. People were friendly as well. The pool is literally right across from this address which my young son was fond of. Also loved seeing the fishing boats out on the water everyday. We also visited Hunting Island State Park and loved it. It’s only a few miles from Harbor Island. Highly recommend this home if you’re in for a beautiful quiet vacation spot.
