About this property
Ocean/Marsh Front, NEW renovated Deck!
Marsh+Ocean Wonderland 🌴 Welcome to Turtle Villa!
Take in the lush, coastal beauty of the Carolina Lowcountry from our 2BR/2.5BA Cedar Reef Villas condo! Watch the glow of sunrise on the marsh & ocean without leaving your plush king bed. Play a game of tennis, then take a cool dip in one of the resort's pools within walking distance. Stroll to the beach via the Cedar Reef boardwalk access, or drive 3 miles to pristine Hunting Island State Park. Close out the day in nearby Beaufort with a date night dinner and a stunning sunset on the marina! The space Ideal for couples and small getaways with old friends (sleeps 5), our condo is newly remodeled and arranged to make the most of the incredible ocean and marsh views. Even better in person, the nature-rich scene from the condo shimmers like a watercolor painting with verdant wetlands that stretch to the sea.
BED + BATH
Bedrooms include a king-size master suite and a guest suite with three twin beds (one is a trundle). Both are on the second level and have flat-screen TVs, ceiling fans, and their own attached, private bathrooms.
Each bath has been recently remodeled and fitted with new hardware. The master bath features a walk-in shower with bench seating and pebble floors for a spa-like experience.
LIVING + DINING
Sky-blue walls and earth-toned sofas and chaise loungers in the open living area lead to sliding glass doors out to the balcony—a lovely place to take in the endless views in the salty breeze. Sit at the four-person table on the balcony with your sunrise coffee or sunset wine.
Back inside, sea turtle art and other accents pay homage to our resident loggerheads, and are the origin of how we adopted the name "Turtle Villa". The living area coffee table unfolds to a game table for cards or boardgames after the beach.
The kitchen is freshly remodeled and well-stocked for cooking, with granite counters and new stainless appliances, including a dishwasher. Take in the view while you cook!

Our family of 5 had a great stay at Harbor Island! The unit was clean, comfortable, and very convenient. It also has amazing views of the marsh and Hunting Island from the balcony and master bedroom window. Also a short walk to the beach and near lots of great things to do, see, and eat!
The space and location were fabulous in every way. You may want to stock up on groceries and gas on the way in since there's not much within a 20 minute drive. Loved our stay!
This condo has all the amenities and comfort for a home away from home to enjoy a truly relaxing vacation. Lots of options for outdoor fun, quiet beaches and restaurants within close proximity.

It made me and my husband so happy to know you guys enjoyed the record player and some of our favorite records!!
The perfect vacation…from the minute we walked into your very clean villa until the moment we left. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us! The kitchen had everything we needed, the king bed was very comfy, the shower had amazing water pressure (which is something you don’t always find). Loved that the park pass was included as we went to Hunting Island State Park a couple of times and it was the perfect place to walk the beach. Went to Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal where we saw alligators, turtles, and lots of different birds. We also enjoyed the Henry Robinson Boardwalk where we climbed the Observation Tower where we saw dolphins.
We stayed for 5 nights at this property as we were playing in a nearby golf tournament. The complex is great. Quiet with plenty to do. Great view of the marsh and you can actually see out to the ocean. Being able to walk out to the beach was a special treat. The sunsets were spectacular and were a great way to end the day. Overall a very memorable stay.
Lovely location, short walk to the beach and pools, and a 5 minute drive to Hunting Island State Park. Great accomodation, great record collection! Walking along the beach on our final evening with dolphins surfacing along side us was the cherry on the cake!
Great stay at Harbor Island - steps away from the beach boardwalk and a very quick walk to the pool. Views of the marsh and beach. Condo was very clean and we enjoyed the games and record player. We will definitely be back!
The condo was very nice and updated! Parking is easy and we enjoyed the beach chairs for us to use. We couldnt enjoy the porch due to a Mama bird with a nest in the tree, she was not okay with us being out there, but thats okay nature is nature. Would recommend to anyone with kids!

Oh my goodness! Thank you for understanding the Protective Mama Bird :-)
Quiet wide beach at low tide, good access to parks, included park pass, Beaufort, fish market, Port Royal. Deck was nice overlooking marsh. Pools were nice and island was nice. Updated and remodeled.
My wife and I found Turtle Villa to be clean, updated and well stocked just as it was advertised. We have stayed on Harbor Island many times in the past and love the area. Our host Sherry was simply the best we have experienced. We fully recommend this property.

Thank you so much for choosing our Villa for your special occasion! With the unexpected Hurricane event, I want to especially thank you for going above and beyond to make sure the deck furniture was taken care of. We would love to host for you again in the future!
This is our second trip to Turtle Villa and we loved it. You can walk from the house to the beach and a bird estuary just a few hundred yards down the street. There’s a magnificent view of the marsh out the main room, and Hunting Island is just a few minutes down the road. The house itself is comfortable and well maintained. We hope to return again sometime.

I'm so happy you chose to return to Turtle Villa and hope you continue to do so!
Sherry has an amazing place and it is decorated perfectly. Beautiful views, close to restaurants that are a must (shrimp shack and dockside) and … use the park pass she has. Hunting is the place to be. Fantastic value here all!
Oh, and the big pool is perfect for gator watching ( no worries, they won’t getcha).

Thank you so much Aaron, I hope you and your family come back again!
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Sherry's condo. The condo has a fantastic view out on the marsh and ocean. There's a trail to the beach right out the door and Hunting Island is absolutely fantastic. We hadn't been to this area before and it's spectacular, such a lovely landscape filled with amazing wildlife. The condo itself was well appointed and Sherry was an extremely responsive host. We were already talking about when we might be able to plan our next trip to this condo as we drove home!

The condo was terrific. The view over the marsh was spectacular. The kitchen was very well equipped and with heavy gauge pots. My only complaint ( and why I didn’t give it 5 stars) was the lighting. It was impossible to read in bed as the lights were too low and there was just one spot in living room where you could read.,

Thank you for the review Shirley, I apologize the lighting made it difficult to enjoy your reading. As an avid reader, I will look into that for future guests!
About the host
Hosted by Sherry Heimberger
Hello all and welcome! We are Sherry and Steve. We have been Airbnb hosting approximately 5 years and are very excited to share our space with you! First a little background. We are from the Appalachian foothills of north Georgia near Helen. However, we decided to try "Lake Life" and currently live on beautiful Lake Hartwell! Steve works in IT and I am in accounting. We have a daughter who is 29 and teaches College while pursuing her Doctorate. She is also recently married! We now have the best Son (in-law) who owns a Dental Practice! We love to travel, explore and take several small weekend RV trips per year and usually one longer trip—either a cruise or flight to some new faraway adventure. Over several decades this has allowed us to essentially “try-out” hundreds of beaches and little oceanside towns. After numerous RV trips to Hunting Island, we knew we liked the area very much. After visiting Harbor Island, and staying in one of the Villas, we knew we loved the area! In early 2020 we decided to officially put down roots in this hidden paradise and purchased a 2 bedroom beach-front condo—now affectionately known as "Turtle Villa". We plan to visit often and share the remainder of the time with our Airbnb friends and family. Come create some tan lines and memories at Harbor Island, we’d love to have you! #iloveturtlevilla
Why they chose this property
We chose Harbor Island, not only, because of its unique "Low Country" vibe and beauty, but also the quietness and security it offers. This is a perfect place to unwind and reset versus the rowdiness and "line waiting" of other "popular" vacation areas.
