Walk right onto three and a half miles of quiet, uncrowded beach that makes the perfect backdrop for dolphin watching, shelling, surf-fishing, crabbing, swimming, biking, or just enjoying the day and evening. Panoramic views of St. Helena Sound as it blends into the Atlantic Ocean. Watch both the sunrise and sunset from your back porch balconies. Enjoy daily dolphins shows as they feed and play up and down the beach. There is also plenty of white, soft sand to just put your feet on.
<br>This Gated community affords its visitors the ability to enjoy the sunny beaches on one side of the Island and observe the natural beauty of the Low Country marshes on the other. The island is a registered bird sanctuary with its multiple rookeries. Wonderful wildlife making their homes on Harbor Island include osprey, egrets, and a wide variety of birds.


Golf is just a few minutes away from Harbor Island. PGA Champion Davis Love III's signature Ocean Creek course is 10 minutes away as is Ocean Point, a George Cobb designed course which offers challenging golf and fabulous ocean views.

Our home is approximately 3000 square feet. It features heart of pine floors throughout the entire house. The kitchen was just renovated with top of the line (stainless) appliances , granite countertops, and a wet bar with wine cooler.

The Master bedroom is upstairs and has a King size bed, a master bath with a jetted Jacuzzi tub and separate shower, and a private balcony that faces the ocean. There is a very large master bedroom closet that has a queen bed in it perfect for kids. The other bedroom upstairs has a queen size bed and a full bathroom right down the hall. There are two bedrooms downstairs: One bedroom with its own bathroom and a queen bed. The other bedroom also has a queen bed. There is a half bathroom in the main area as well.

    Second year to visit. This location is just excellent. Front row at the beach. Relaxing time in April. Local markets to cook in. Great options to go out. Missed the Gay Fish Co because they were closed for remodeling. Kitchen is adequate. I bring my black iron for proper frying. Bring your bug spray if no breeze. Noseeum can swallow you whole. Mercedes is very easy to reach and communicate.

    My family enjoyed the wide sandy beach, the morning and evening visits by the dolphins, the beautiful Hunters Island, and the pool that was accessible at the Beachclub. Mercedes is a great host, ready to help make a stay more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this beach home.

    If you’re looking for a laid back slice of heaven, this is it. Mercedes was on top of everything, from start to finish—always available for questions. The beautiful home is both cozy and roomy, and the setting is perfect. I’m already thinking about a return visit.

    Early April stay with great weather. Dog friendly house, great little fenced in yard. Tho we took many walks on the beach. Location on mouth Harbor River to ocean. Can see Edisto across the river. Egg banks sandbar out at low tide. Quiet neighborhood and friendly people in area. Great restaurants in Beaufort, or go to Gay Fish Co and buy fresh to cook at home. Just a laid back place to relax. Property descriptions are accurate.

    My husband and our 2 friends stayed off season - in January. The location is unbeatable - water views in three directions. Exactly what we were seeking.Mercedes is a gem. Responsive, quick, problem solver, and a delight.Unlike other rental homes we’ve stayed in, this house has a lot of personal items about. At first disconcerting but on the bright side if you forgot something, say detergent or sunglasses or bathrobes you would most likely find them in a closet or drawer. We felt like guests in someone’s beach home rather than renters of a vacation listing.Outweighing the above is the location. I might have been tempted to give 4 stars but the beach access and Mercedes pushed it to 5.

    It's hard to beat the location of this home - it's sitting right on the beach, with stunning views from nearly every room in the house. The weather was spectacular for a week that could have easily been in the 50s - we were treated to temps in the upper 70s to near 80 with clear skies daily! The home was clean, the kitchen well stocked with all necessary cooking 'gear' (we used some of it to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner - most of which we ordered from The Kitchen in Beaufort - DELICIOUS), and plenty of towels/toiletries available. We spent the majority of our time on the beach, or out and about, but when in the home - we enjoyed every moment. At NO fault to the property - the weather did bring out the flies/beach gnats that snuck their way into the house, and hung out all over the kitchen area, but again, this is strictly due to the unseasonably warm week, and they were hard to avoid. The gated community hosts a half-court basketball court (which we used every day), pickle ball courts, a split fitness center, and a pool (closed for season during our visit), so it's easy to enjoy several days to a week+ here. Overall, we WILL be back, and Mercedes, the property manager, is SO accessible and on the ball, she made it easier than one would expect! THANK YOU Harbor Island - for all of the memories!

    We all had a great time at this perfectly- located home. The pictures are accurate; the home is directly on the beach and spacious inside. When we first arrived, the wind was blowing and the waves were crashing AND we so enjoyed watching and marveling at the bravery of those who go to sea. And then the ocean calmed down and we enjoyed the beach. One wonderful surprise was the number of dolphins. We have never seen so many dolphins at one time who leisurely fished. It was super. This home has something for everyone! Thank you, Mercedes!

    Great location for a relaxing vacation. House had all the amenities needed. Beach was marvelous and extremely open. We maybe saw a handful of people each day mostly walking the beach. Host was very interactive and responsive. Hope to stay here again soon!

    Although our time was cut short by tropical storm Debby, we enjoyed every minute that we had at the Dolphin Den. Mercedes is the BEST property manager that I've ever worked with, and I look forward to booking this house again next year (or hopefully sooner). We had 8 people and plenty of room, and could have easily fit more. Loved the different porches to enjoy the ocean view.
