What a perfect place to go when all you need is rest and relaxation. Meri was the perfect host and her place was perfect for our family. Short walk to the pool or the beach. The beach was quiet every day!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m happy to hear you and your family were able to relax and enjoy your time here. I’m glad the beach was peaceful and the location convenient for both the pool and the shore. You were a pleasure to host, and I’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
We had a wonderful stay at this condo with our family of 4! It was clean, had everything we needed (and more) and the property was beautiful. Merri was very responsive and helpful with the questions I had prior to arriving. We will definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the pools and we spent most of our time at the state park for bigger waves. The condo was surprisingly quiet with so many folks around us. We appreciated the beach and pool tools available for use.

Excellent stay. Everything just as described. I was a bit worried about noise from the pool being so close, but was not an issue during our stay. The extras provided were nice. Would stay here again.

We are so blessed to have this little home away from home! Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you again! - Merri
Enjoyed our stay! Our host had lots of little touches that you would never see in a hotel. So much more personal and a short walk to a great beach! This was perfect for my kids first beach trip!
My wife and two children recently stayed here and had a wonderful time. The property is clean, well maintained and right on the beach with plenty of activities to keep the kids busy! Three pools, fishing, tennis, pickleball all right there with a very relaxed beach that has a great low tide high tide experience as well. Beaufort is close enough for dinners with the family, overall just a great trip to take with the family. The host stayed in touch and everything was as easy as could be. Thanks for a great trip.

The owners have thought of everything needed for a wonderful vacation - beach equipment, sports equipment, games, and all the household necessities! The home was clean and comfortable. The property was very nice, and the ocean view was perfect.
I had a lovely stay at Merri’s place. The unit is comfy with all your needs. The location was great! Close to the beach access and pool. The beds were comfy and the location of the unit is quiet.
Me and my family had a wonderful stay at this property. We spent 5 nights and 6 days in July. The property met all needs/expectations. Ocean view was lovely. The location as a whole was amazing. Very clean island, it was quiet and very low key

We loved our stay at this condo. The views out the window are amazing - 180 degree view of the beach. It is perfectly located at the resort with easy and quick access to the beach, pools and resort amenities. The condo was perfect for our family of 4 (two kids under 5). Harbor Island is also quiet and beautiful.Everything inside is well cared for and comfortable. Lots of extras like pool towels, beach chairs, games, etc. Merri is a gracious, accommodating and communicative host.

The condo itself is nice. The real appeal of this property is the Host. Merri is a very involved and attentive host and is one of the best we have ever dealt with. The distance to the beach is exactly as described- I highly recommend this property.

We loved the location, proximity to the beach, and the condo itself. The whole fam had a great time. My youngest turned nine yrs old on this trip. I had fun playing his first tennis match with him just a short walk from the condo.

The condo was clean and stocked with everything you need! It was so nice that they provided beach chairs and toys. It was an easy walk to the beach and the beach wasn't crowded. It was nice having the pool close to our condo. The condo was great and the owner was easy to work with.

We enjoyed our stay. Especially pleased that there were binoculars and a red flashlight for us to use. We forgot our binoculars and didn’t recognize that the red light is required to not discombobulate the nesting turtles on the beach at night. Good cold air conditioning while it was SUPER hot while we were there. I would happily rent it again,We would have stayed a couple of extra days but it was booked-up. We didn’t want to leave.DO NOT fail to visit Hunting Island state park (pass included) while you’re there. Thanks Merri!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and made good use of the free pass to Hunting Island — it’s truly a special place. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more relaxing beach days and island adventures. Safe travels until next time!
This was our first trip to Harbor Island, and we really enjoyed it! The condo was very convenient, overlooking the pool and just a short walk to the Beach and the Clubhouse area. We went to Hunting Island State Park for a half day. It was nice to have the pass to get in with no charge! We ate twice at the nearby Johnson's Creek Tavern, and all of our food was delicious both times. It was also really good to have chairs, game equipment, and tubes available at the condo.

Walked in after check-in and found a few pieces of trash in the room left after the cleaning crew. Outside of that awesome little place for a getaway.
