Quiet Beach Getaway
The Beaufort area is just the perfect low country get away and Harbor Island is about as relaxing as you can get. Plenty or amenities at the home and the screened in porch and view of the sunrise is worth the stay by itself. Yes, bring bug spray, you never know which way the wind will be blowing. A golf cart would be nice but with parking it would be difficult to make it work. All in all a great experience.

A little disappointed but great week regardless
We had a nice week staying here. The room set up was awesome for our group. The beach is a long boardwalk (bring a wagon) away but you come out to a nicely secluded part of the beach. The bugs are heavy on this side of the island due to the brush- so bring bug spray. The house however needs some TLC. There were parts that were filthy, parts where drywall was missing or paint missing from walls, nails popping up on the porch- nothing a day or two of maintenance work couldn't fix. The twin mattresses need replacing due to their condition. The kitchen is huge and had most items needed to make a meal and there is a grill under the house which was awesome. The AC does struggle to keep up and the steps up to the house have plants that have almost taken over the steps. We enjoyed our stay and it worked well for our group but I'm not sure if we'll stay here again due to the condition of everything. I know this property could be top notch with a little bit of extra love. Thank you for hosting us.

Beach stay on Pelican Island - July 2 - 9, 2022
This was our 2nd stay in this house. The home offered plenty of space for our family and location to the beach was great. However the house is in need of a cosmetic makeover. The bathrooms were in the same condition as the year before when we stayed there. Very much in need of painting (all 3 of them). The house was full of gnats, in every room and another type of small black flying bug! Very much in need of an exterminator. Having the pool close by was a great asset to our stay. Most likely we will be looking for better accommodations for beach trip 2023.
