About this property

Golf Cart, River and Marsh Views, Oceanfront Community, Beautiful Sunsets

This beautiful Key West style home is located on Harbor Island, a quiet private island just 15 minutes from Beaufort, SC. Harbor Island boasts a small neighborhood feel, having a private two-mile stretch of natural beauty, low-country calm beaches, which are just a short golf cart ride away within the neighborhood. The gated community has 5 freshwater lagoons, providing nesting areas for thousands of wading birds, gathering for their migratory flights. It's an ideal spot for families with young children. The sun sets every night right out of your front door, just above the Harbor River Bridge. This is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend getaway!
The home also comes with one four passenger golf cart. That's enough golf cart space for the entire family and gives easy access to all the island's amenities. Amenities include pools (Olympic size and kiddie), crabbing dock, tennis courts, pickle ball court, playgrounds, volleyball, basketball, fishing areas and fitness center. There is a saltwater tidal canal in the neighborhood that provides access to fishing and crabbing.

About the Area: We are located less than 2 miles from the entrance to Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina's most visited State Park. Their beaches have been voted most beautiful in South Carolina. Fripp Island has 2 outstanding golf courses, Ocean Creek and Ocean Point, which offer spectacular oceanfront views and are only 5 miles away. You can make easy day trips to Hilton Head Island (for golf and shopping) and Savannah (for great food and history) in about an hour. Charleston, with all its beauty and history, is around an hour and a half away. Beaufort, voted best small town in the south by Southern Living magazine, is only 20 minutes away.

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!!

Perfect getaway!

This was such a relaxing and much needed break for my family and I. The home was clean, comfortable and fully stocked. The host, Melissa was incredible! The internet was out from a storm and she was in constant communication to get it back on for us. There were plenty of books, games and puzzles to keep us occupied until they were able to restore it. The golf carts were great for a stroll to the private beach and we enjoyed every moment of our vacation! We will definitly come here again! The view of the sunset and wild life from the wrap around porch was breath taking! Thank you again, Melissa, for everything! coagain!!minute of our stay!

Lovely vacation home

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! The house itself is in immaculate condition with plenty of room for our family of six including comfortable beds and den seating. It surpassed our expectations with all of the extra attention to details that other reviewers have mentioned as well as the breath taking views! With all of the beautiful picture windows you did not even have to go outside to enjoy the views. The golf court gave us easy access to the beaches and island and we enjoyed bird watching, alligator spottings, and even saw a sea turtle nest inventory that resulted in watching baby hatchlings make it to the sea! We love the peace and quiet that comes with Harbor Island and would definitely recommend this home to everyone! Hope to be back!

Wonderful Coast Getaway

Thank you Frank and Faye for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful little cottage. This is the fourth year my husband and I have spent two great weeks in the little yellow cottage on Harbour Key. The cottage is extremely comfortable and has all the amenities you could desire. After a long day on our boat fishing, crabbing, and shrimping, it is so enjoyable to open the door to the cool comfort found inside. Our visitors especially enjoyed the new addition of the wide screen TV, as did we. Frank goes out of his way to be attentive to any possible need that might arise. I always feel I can call before, during, and after our trip about anything. The environment is peaceful with great seafood dining close by. Beaufort is only about 30 minutes away with entertainment and more great food. We will definitely be back next year and recommend it to anyone.

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.

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!
