"Pet Friendly, Excellent Ocean View with Direct Beach Access!"

Pet Friendly, Excellent Ocean View and Direct Beach Access! This beautiful second row, single level 3 bedroom, 2 full bath beach home features large front and back decks--both with dining tables and chairs, quality furnishings throughout, beautiful ceramic tiles in the living/dining areas, kitchen and baths, and brand new flooring in all three bedrooms. There is a gorgeous direct ocean view from the spacious deck stretching full length across the back of this home.

French doors open from the living area onto the back deck, as well as from the master bedroom and second bedroom. This home is conveniently located 2 blocks from the Beach and Racquet Club. And it is just steps to the beach on a private path and boardwalk with no street to cross between the house and the beach. There is covered parking below the house for 2 cars, and open parking adjacent to the home for 2 more vehicles.

Ceiling fans provide gentle breezes in the living area and all three bedrooms and a high speed wireless Internet connection is provided for your convenience. For entertainment, the living area offers a 55 inch flat screen TV with cable and DVD player.
The master offers a king bed with a 4" memory foam topper, flat screen cable television with DVD player, and a full attached private bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a connecting bath. This second bath can also be accessed from the short hallway that connects the second and third bedrooms.

A full sized washer and dryer are also located in that hallway, behind louvered doors. The third bedroom offers two twin beds and a large chair for reading.

The outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after the beach in summer, and winter visitors will enjoy the wood burning fireplace in the living room! This home is pet friendly for 1 dog with payment of the nonrefundable pet fee.

House was clean and inviting. We enjoyed the space. Enough room for the six of us. Kitchen had everything we needed for making meals and comfortable living room for movie nights. There were nice views of the ocean from the back deck with a gentle breeze for peaceful nights. It was great that we could bring our dog, too, who loved the beach! This was our second trip to Harbor Island and love the community…the pool and the Turtles’ Nest gift shop and yummy food. Burger night was great! Host was very responsive and from before we checked in to the day we checked out! Highly recommend!

This was a great vacation for the family. The house was nice and easy to cook in the kitchen. Turtle Nest staff at the pool were very friendly and welcoming. The work out facility was better than we would expect. The beaches were clean with great white sand.

Great Location

This was our seventh year at Harbor Island; it is our family's beach tradition. This house is in a great spot (middle-ish of the island, and short walk to the beach) and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The biggest benefit is that we could bring our dog, which we have not been able to do until this year, and he was so happy! We have already set up this house for next year.

Great house!

Great house in a very quiet setting. Didn't realize beach was more like a sound instead of the ocean. House very well equipped. Enjoyed trips to Beaufort although it's a bit of a drive to get there! Island is very small but houses are beautiful. Seemed a bit isolated at this time of year but overall accomations were wonderful!

Fall Getaway

We had such an enjoyable stay! The house had everything we could need. ( although a bit skimpy on the starter supplies). We loved sitting on the large back porch, as did our pups. The close proximity to the beach access was super convenient. Great area to walk or ride bikes. The house itself could use a little TLC, but the furniture and decor was nice. The king in the master was very comfy! Overall, a great fall getaway!!

Great property! The floor plan and back and from decks were great. (Would of loved to have had a screen porch ) The property manager, Morgan, was very responsive. Quick to help us get all the right community day/night passes needed for our rotating family and friends. Made our stay smooth with no issues.

Lacking attention

Location to the beach was excellent. Some drawbacks, general landscaping and upkeep of the outside was lacking. Trail to the beach needs attention. No golf cart with the property was a big disappointment. Having to carry a key around vs a key code system was a hassle. Inside mold was detected around some of the vents and paint peeling from the ceiling around skylights. Overall a good property with loads of opportunity.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 June 2022
Thank you for your review. I am surprised we never heard from you regarding any of these issues while you were here we could have sent someone out to handle some of these items. There are multiple beach access points on the island, I am not sure which you are referring to but that upkeep is the responsibility of the island. A golf cart was not advertised with the property so that should not have been a surprise. The lockbox is provided for exactly that, so you can leave the key inside and not carry it around! Condensation forms around most vents during the summer which can cause staining, all you needed to do was let us know and we would have sent someone out to clean those and resolve that. I am so glad you overall had a nice time at this home and on the island!

Filthy, dirty, not even maintained property - AVOID

We notified the property manager and got NO reply. Dirty dishes still with food on them in the cabinets, silverware/utensils drawers had food in them, cutting boards still had visible food and stains. Toilet leaked the entire time. They only replied regarding the toilet and came on Friday morning. Four hours later it was leaking again. We left a day early. We sent photos and texts and got no response.

This guest arrived Wednesday the 27th at 3:49 pm. We did not hear from the guest the first day of her stay. Why would she wait until the next day, Thanksgiving Day, to send texts? The texts she sent on Thursday at 10:53 am showed crumbs in a silverware drawer and food on one plate. That food looked like someone just ate off the plate. She also indicated that she had already cleaned everything herself. We responded to her text at 1:29 pm on Thanksgiving Day after calling several plumbers. We also apologized for what she was experiencing. There were 3 family members in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. So, there was another working toilet available for one day. We could not find a single plumber available on Thanksgiving Day. We were able to get someone out by 9:00 am on Friday morning. The toilet was working and operational with the husband watching the contractor the whole time. We received a text from the guest Friday at 3:00 pm saying that the toilet was doing the same thing 4 hours after and they left wanting a refund. Upon inspection by the cleaners and repairman, the toilet was still working fine. This guest just wanted a refund, probably due to cold rainy weather that rolled in. We will not rent to her again.

A Much Needed Vacation

We had a fantastic vacation on Harbor Island! This was our first time renting here, so I was a little hesitant on our 15 hour car ride down from IL. The house didn’t disappoint! The views of the ocean from the back deck were spectacular. We enjoyed watching dolphins swim by in the evening and star gazing at night! The sunrises were what motivated me to wake up every morning for a run on the beach. The front porch was fantastic for sitting and watching an unbelievable thunderstorm as well as all the neighbors riding by on golf carts and waving. We had great day trips to Charleston and Beaufort. Savannah is also drivable but we’ve been there several times. We also rented a kayak for the week so enjoyed the very low tide for us novice kayakers! We ended our trip with a fantastic dinner in Port Royal, another great historic town. Harbor Island is by far the best we’ve seen in our Low Country island exploration. We’ll definitely be back!

Easy breezy summer vacation

We had an easy, fun week at this property on Harbor Island! The location was perfect for either the beach or the pool, which was very clean and never crowded, even on a holiday week! Our kids should have started an ice cream tab at the Turtle’s Nest! Definitely check that out for pool snacks. The house is just steps away from the beach, which is beautiful, and at low tide, I think you could almost walk to Edisto! We mostly cooked at the house. Our Hello Fresh followed us no problem! The kitchen has everything you need but a can opener. I was surprised the water tasted so good! No need for bottled water; just refill your Yeti cup! There are a lot of miscellaneous spices in the cabinet but bring black pepper, as that was running low. All the appliances and utilities were in perfect order. The AC works great! There are tons of novels and puzzles and games there. Plenty of bath and beach towels. Lots of chairs of different sizes under the house. The beds are comfy and we slept well but if you plan to sleep in, bring a sleep mask because the curtains on the French doors are thin. The back porch has a dog gate that was just fine for our little cocker spaniel but if you have a big dog, they will easily knock it down or step over it. The back porch is best enjoyed in the early morning. Then, we would move to the front porch and people watch on Harbor Drive. Be sure to bring bug spray for the evenings. Overall, this house was the perfect home base for our family and we will definitely return to beautiful and very private Harbor Island! We recommend the Coastal Expeditions’ dolphin tour, the Sea Island Carriage Co. in Beaufort, and the Highway 21 Drive-In!

Very peaceful - just a few suggestions

The house itself was great - location was super peaceful. I wish I had known how well-stocked the house was — particularly the kitchen. We brought a lot of things we didn’t need to, and a more detailed listing would have saved us some hassle. The only negative was related to cleanliness. The bedding in one of the bedrooms was covered with pet hair — we had to change the sheets on our first night before we could go to bed … made me think the bedding hadn’t been changed at all before we arrived. There were also fur piles on the floor, and a water bottle under the bed. This is no fault of the owner, but the cleaning crew left a bit to be desired. The beach is easily accessible, and wonderfully private! We would absolutely stay again, despite the cleaning issues.

Thank you for your review. I so wish we would have known about any issues when you first arrived. We would have sent the cleaning crew back right away to resolve them. The property is pet friendly and unfortunately sometimes pet hair does get missed but we would have rectified that immediately had we know. The housekeeping crew also ALWAYS changes the bedding every time. I am glad the house was well stocked for you and you enjoyed your stay.

What a slice of heaven

Harbor Island is a slice of heaven. Very slow way of life. The beaches are never busy. Everywhere you look it's absolutely beautiful. This house was perfect for us. And thr rental company that maintains the property is more than helpful. Everyone, but especially Sheila, is so friendly and helpful. I have already booked another trip.
