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!

Great Stay

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!

Wonderful 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!

Relaxing stay with beautiful views

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!!

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!

Amazing view

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!

Great Proximity to Pool & Beach

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!

Peaceful Stay

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.

YES, you want to stay here!

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.

Amazing time and so relaxing

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!

Ocean View Villa M318 on Harbor Island

We only stayed 3 nights, but wish it was longer. Excellent accommodations; the third floor corner location offers great views of the ocean as well as a wonderful ocean breeze. Upon arrival, check-in was quick and easy. The unit was very clean and had all the supplies we needed. Morgan was our contact from booking to checkout and she was amazing, checking in to make sure we were happy and didn’t need anything else. We definitely plan on returning to Harbor Island and renting this unit again. I highly recommend this condo, especially if you have a pet you want to bring with you. You won’t be disappointed.
