OCEANFRONT luxury 5 BR home in gated Harbor Island Community

The property description in both Vrbo and the property mgmnt. co. state an elevator is avl. for seniors (we are 88 & 77), it did not work nor do I think it was intended to work as circuit breakers were in off position. The porch, a highlight was filthy as were the kitchen cabinets, light fixtures were missing bulbs and the property mgmnt co was completely unresponsive. The home is in a beautiful setting and neighborhood with plenty of activities at your fingertips. This was our 2nd visit to this home and unfortunately our last. The owner really needs to do a deep upkeep dive.

The location is great. However, the place is moldy, and, the AC vents are dirty and the deck furniture I wouldn't sit on. The place needs an upgrade. The master bedroom has no closet (the walk-in is locked), all other closets don't have any hangers to hang up your clothes. The kitchen drawer is broken and the kitchen sink leaks badly. We contacted Tidewatch (the management company) and they couldn't fixit. they said the faucet needs to be replaced. For this price you would expect them to replace it immediately, even with a temporary one.

Beautiful location! Large bedrooms…plenty of bathrooms!

This house was a great fit for all of us (6 adults and 6 kids ranging 1.5-15yo). Clean, with a large dining room table and great kitchen for food prep, with ocean views. Loved having our own path to the beach. Short walks to see crabs, dolphins, lots of ocean birds, stingrays and a killer sunset. We didn't see any loggerhead turtles, but we took care to fill in our holes at the the of the day at the beach, as we were there during hatching season. Extra beach toys and chairs in in the garage were useful, too. We're looking forward to going back to serene and peaceful Harbor Island!

Tropical Storm Debby came through the week we rented this house. Luckily the house was big enough so everyone could get away if they needed to. I felt safe when the weather got bad. We loved our stay and are planning on renting again next year!!

The house is well laid out and accommodated our group of 6 adults and 1 child easily. The proximity to the beach is absolutely amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for our stay supplemented by my crock pot and electric frying pan. Proximity to grocery stores and Beaufort was great. The Management company was very responsive to all our needs. The issue we had was the multiple repairs that had to occur during our stay: the elevator was stuck and quickly repaired but since we were left with a tool in case it got stuck again, we didn’t use it. The garage doors were inoperable and no one warned us about this even though a repairman showed up unannounced on Monday to check out the doors and give an estimate for repairs. No repairs to garage doors made while we were there. The washing machine didn’t work and while the repairman came quickly, he had to order a part the he did not get until late Wednesday so installed on Thursday. Meanwhile we were relegated to limping along and washing extremely small loads, an issue with sandy clothes and towels. Then we noticed that the house began to get hot especially upstairs. Returned from the beach to find the upstairs temp above 80 and downstairs at 78. Called and a repairman came out and worked on the units and we were able to have air conditioning again. I realize that things can break or tear up, but this home appeared to have failed to have general maintenance on many fronts.

Very nice community with tennis, pickleball, and pool to enjoy. Beautiful water and beach views all around with lots of history in Beaufort, fun waterside restaurants and cute shops in town. Loved our visit to the Low Country!

Stunning home on the beach in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

The location area of the house was incredible. Loved the spacious home and beautiful views. Loved having two balconies facing the water. Spacious bedrooms, family room, kitchen, and dining areas. I had a few issues and contacted rental property personnel. Quick to fix some issues. A/C in one of the bedrooms was nonexistent. I sent suggestions for a couple of small cleaning/fix it issues that hopefully will be easily remedied. Overall, a beautiful place and area.

everything was great other than the cleanliness of the house. It was very sandy but other than that everything was great!
