Harbor Island, South Carolina
Important notes!
Summer weeks (May-August) rent from Saturdays to Saturdays only.
Please be sure you read the cleaning requirements at the bottom of the description.
Our condo has been well cared for by all with whom it has been shared. Some guests have returned each summer for many years; and now they share 'their week' with grandchildren.
The kitchen has been renovated to include new cupboards, granite countertops & appliances, including a crockpot and a waffle maker. It is outfitted with everything you could need to make everything from pimento cheese spread to a low country shrimp boil.
In the living area and throughout the condo you'll find a variety of books and magazines, so it's easy to find something great to read. Whether you're looking for the perfect beach novel or a children's book on turtle nesting, there's something for everyone. We keep a variety of puzzles and games which you're sure to enjoy spreading out on the large dining room table. Even if bad weather keeps you away from the beach, you'll have plenty of entertainment indoors.
The bathrooms have been completely restructured and tiled. All new fixtures in the bathrooms, including regular bath tubs, and unlike many other condos, we've moved the sinks out of the bedrooms and into the bathrooms.
The living, dining and bedrooms' furniture and decor are continually updated and/or replaced as needed. With my renter's help, I try to keep the condo ready to be enjoyed as I would my home.
New double-paned Energy Star windows have made such a difference in sound and comfort! The outside heat and cold temperatures stay outside. The new front loading clothes washer and dryer are also Energy Star.
***IMPORTANT NOTE***
I am not an agent, and I only rent and share my own personal condo and am not able to provide/supervise cleaning services. I ask my renters to clean up after themselves, and I have found through the years that they do a better job than any of the maid services I have used. You will not be charged a cleaning fee, but you must make sure the property is cleaned for the next renter.

ABOUT THE ISLAND:
Harbor Island has 2 miles of beautiful clean beach, sand crabs dancing, loggerhead turtles nesting and hatching, egret and heron rookeries, an occasional alligator or porpoise sighting, watching the tide come in and the shrimp boats go out. Harbor is about angel wing shells and sand dollar searches, about crabbing, fishing, incredible sunrises and sunsets, sea oats and cat tails, fiddler crabs, rare birds, dowagers, sand pipers, pelicans, and the surrounding marsh which serves as a nursery for all of it.
ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Harbor is next door to Hunting Island State Park with its fishing pier, museum and lots of Park Ranger programs. Harbor is a 20 minute drive from Beaufort, South Carolina with its riverfront park, nice restaurants and wonderful shops. Many movies have been filmed in Beaufort and on the surrounding islands - you may recognize some of the beautiful scenery. Finally, Harbor is about an hour away from historic Savannah, Georgia to the south and Charleston, South Carolina to the north.
One visit to Harbor, I would venture to predict, will not be enough. You will want to come back again, and again, and again...Feel free to call me and/or email me if you would like more information Cedar Reef Villas and Harbor Island - we love to give recommendations.
The property is equipped with everything you need. The owners communicate perfectly. The villa ratings are good but it shows wear and tear. The owners do cut you a break by asking you to clean from their checklist but the level is subjective. When we arrived it was just ok. On that note, I would rent again. Bring your own beach gear. Laundry worked great! Kitchen is well equipped. The community is nice with 2 small pools and one big pool, a gym, tennis courts and a gift/snack shop and just 5 min from the beach. It’s quiet. The tide is out for what seems like a mile most hours. It’s safe for kids and fun to explore though. Locals say stay away from the abandoned beach homes on the sand due to glass etc..The birds are fun to watch. Close dining is limited but good. Low country Superior Coffee had amazing food. Beaufort is beautiful and quaint.
You can see and hear the ocean by seating on the balcony, drinking cup of fresh green tea :) I did it:)
A super chill week was great!
Very comfortable and inviting, amazing location!
It was a wonderful stay. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had good luck with the weather. So lots of different alligators in birds. We absolutely love Harbor Island.
My family loves staying at Harbor Island for the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I would stay here again. Not the most direct view of the ocean but does have nice views of the end of the island and marsh.
Unit as described, disappointed that we couldn't leave the sliding door open to hear the ocean because the screen is broken. Otherwise it was okay.
This condo has possibly the best view of any place we've stayed. Spectacular view of the ocean and sandbars to the left, and views of the tidal marsh to the right. We enjoyed sitting on the large deck each evening with the ocean breeze generally keeping the bugs away. The condo is very nice and comfortable, having everything we needed. It was clean, and ready for us when we got there, and we didn't mind cleaning it the same for the next renter. Communication with the owners was great. And a lot of communication, since a hurricane was heading in. We had to cut our trip short, but we would not hesitate to stay here again.
This condo was very comfortable and a great fit for our family! We put adults in both upstairs bedrooms and kids on the pullout sofa, which was much more comfortable than most they have slept on. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The view from the deck of both the marsh and the ocean was a treat! We’d definitely stay here again.
The advertisement for this property was spot on. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the main bedroom window and from the deck. The beach was a 2 minute walk from the rental. Being in a home atmosphere made for a very relaxing vacation. It was nice that the rental was equipped with everything needed to cook and real dishes to use. The homeowners really thought of everything. We had great communication with the owner. The Island was beautiful to explore. The locals were extremely friendly. The area seafood restaurants were amazing. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back.
A very quiet, calm vacation in one of South Carolina's most beautiful settings. Everything was as stated on-line. Owner VERY responsive to a minor issue. We are definitely going to come back.
We had a blast, and the location of this condo is awesome. The walkway, pool, beach, and marsh are super close. The building is older, so renters need to understand that the condo isn't going to appear spotless, but it is clean:) The previous renters did a good job cleaning up for us (even leaving a nice note, which we carried forward), and we did our best to sanitize the home from top to bottom. There were LOTS of towels and bed linens, which was helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed, and every appliance worked great. Thanks so much for a wonderful week!
Very comfortable condo, all the right amenities, well maintained and nicely furnished.
The condo was nice and clean. It was cozy. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach.
