    This property was great for our family! We loved the seclusion of the location. The porch had great views of sunsets and it was so relaxing. We loved the fact that we had access to the golf cart and could take it to our favorite beach access #1, as well as the pool and pickle ball/tennis courts! The beaches were not crowded at all and it was so nice! It was different each day depending on the tides, which was really cool! We saw lots of hermit crabs and even dolphins on 2 different occasions following a shrimp boat. The home met all of our needs and Melissa was quick to respond to any questions we had! Highly recommend and would definitely go back!

    We had a wonderful stay in Harbor Island. The house was beautiful and had everything we could need. The deck was a great place to watch the sun set. The owners had beach items we could borrow which helped when we forgot one kids buggie board. The entire island was great, gate guards were always so kind and helpful. The beaches were beautiful. We saw some cool animals, different birds, lots of bunnies, and even an Alligator. Amazing week.

    The location of this beach house is fantastic and it is comfortable. My kids appreciated the loft and the adults appreciated all the extra space. We took the golf cart down to the private community’s beach and pool multiple times. Also the included state park pass provided us with access to almost empty beaches and beautiful natural settings.

    This is one of the best locations i’ve stayed in and i’ve stayed in quite a few. The host was absolutely amazing! She allowed us early check in and also let us stay a xtra day for a fee! The condo itself is absolutely beautiful and so spacious. We have a toddler and it accommodated us well! The view on the portch is perfect for watching the sunset as well! I have no complaints regarding our stay here. The island itself is amazing as well.

    Nice house and location… people at gate were confused… probably new… bedrooms smaller than expected… double beds no queens as expected. Handyman needs to paint interior and unclog slow sinks in bathrooms, caulk around showers and tubs… corner cabinet in kitchen was off hinge when opened…the host book in house needs updating… old info….Easy communication with host… Overall a great week!!!

    Our two families had a lovely time on the island. We spent time wandering the beach and cruising the island on the provided golf cart. While the property has bikes included, we decided to rent beach cruisers from the sweet lady at the clubhouse. Near the home we saw an alligator every day...very cool! The house itself seemed to have everything we needed for cooking meals at home. We encountered no problems and would recommend this house to other families.

    I would give 10 stars if I could. This house was perfect. And Melissa was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She was very fast at answering any questions that I had. And when there was an issue with the water on the whole island, she was constantly in touch to see how she could help me. The house had everything we needed, including extras like paper products, detergent, etc. The golf cart was such a great addition. The living room furniture was super comfy. Also, the beach chairs that were in the garage were so nice since one of our chairs that we brought, had broke the 2nd day! And the Hunting Island pass was great to have! I cannot say enough good things about this house and Melissa. We will definitely stay again! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!!

    We had a wedding in St. Helena Island so we made a vacation out of the trip. It was a great place to stay. Close to Fripp and Hunting Island. It was nice that the pass to Hunting Island was included and all of the amenities of Harbor Island. My husband, daughter and son & his girlfriend went on a dolphin watching boat tour using Coastal Expeditions. It was just across the bridge so it was very convenient. They said that the owner/boat captain was very nice and extremely knowledgable. Wish we had more time to make a day trip to Charleston. The internet was out when we arrived but the owner worked diligently to get it restored for us (it wasn't her issue .. Xfinity said that the cable was rusted off in a main box a street over.). Loved the deck .. beautiful sunsets!

The golf cart was a fun way to explore the island and get back and forth from the beach. Our host was most helpful when we decided to extend our stay an extra night. We didn't want to leave!
