Quality location and Condo

Enjoyed the stay. Internet in location was slightly spotty likely due to the island location, but all other aspects were excellent. Nearby pool and walking distance to beach.

Clean and convenient

This condo is the perfect place to stay -- located very near the beach at Harbor Island via boardwalk and just a couple of miles from Hunting Island State Park. Of course, Beaufort is nearby, with its beautiful riverwalk, shops and restaurants. So much to do in this area, and the property is especially updated and clean. Also, the pool is only steps away from the back porch. I highly recommend this property.

Great family trip!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the condo. It had everything we needed and was perfect for our needs. It’s just a short walk to the beach on the island, and just a short drive to Hunting Island. We will be back!
