About this property

Peaceful Villa with Ocean and Hunting Island View

Important notes!
Summer weeks (May-August) rent from Saturdays to Saturdays only.
Please be sure you read the cleaning requirements at the bottom of the description.

Our condo has been well cared for by all with whom it has been shared. Some guests have returned each summer for many years; and now they share 'their week' with grandchildren.

The kitchen has been renovated to include new cupboards, granite countertops & appliances, including a crockpot and a waffle maker. It is outfitted with everything you could need to make everything from pimento cheese spread to a low country shrimp boil.

In the living area and throughout the condo you'll find a variety of books and magazines, so it's easy to find something great to read. Whether you're looking for the perfect beach novel or a children's book on turtle nesting, there's something for everyone. We keep a variety of puzzles and games which you're sure to enjoy spreading out on the large dining room table. Even if bad weather keeps you away from the beach, you'll have plenty of entertainment indoors.

The bathrooms have been completely restructured and tiled. All new fixtures in the bathrooms, including regular bath tubs, and unlike many other condos, we've moved the sinks out of the bedrooms and into the bathrooms.

The living, dining and bedrooms' furniture and decor are continually updated and/or replaced as needed. With my renter's help, I try to keep the condo ready to be enjoyed as I would my home.

New double-paned Energy Star windows have made such a difference in sound and comfort! The outside heat and cold temperatures stay outside. The new front loading clothes washer and dryer are also Energy Star.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***
I am not an agent, and I only rent and share my own personal condo and am not able to provide/supervise cleaning services. I ask my renters to clean up after themselves, and I have found through the years that they do a better job than any of the maid services I have used. You will not be charged a cleaning fee, but you must make sure the property is cleaned for the next renter.

ABOUT THE ISLAND:
Harbor Island has 2 miles of beautiful clean beach, sand crabs dancing, loggerhead turtles nesting and hatching, egret and heron rookeries, an occasional alligator or porpoise sighting, watching the tide come in and the shrimp boats go out. Harbor is about angel wing shells and sand dollar searches, about crabbing, fishing, incredible sunrises and sunsets, sea oats and cat tails, fiddler crabs, rare birds, dowagers, sand pipers, pelicans, and the surrounding marsh which serves as a nursery for all of it.

ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Harbor is next door to Hunting Island State Park with its fishing pier, museum and lots of Park Ranger programs. Harbor is a 20 minute drive from Beaufort, South Carolina with its riverfront park, nice restaurants and wonderful shops. Many movies have been filmed in Beaufort and on the surrounding islands - you may recognize some of the beautiful scenery. Finally, Harbor is about an hour away from historic Savannah, Georgia to the south and Charleston, South Carolina to the north.

One visit to Harbor, I would venture to predict, will not be enough. You will want to come back again, and again, and again...Feel free to call me and/or email me if you would like more information Cedar Reef Villas and Harbor Island - we love to give recommendations.

Absolutely wonderful!

We all decided our stay was the best vacation we’ve ever had! The location, home, and community were delightful! We could not get enough of the natural beauty, animals, birds and views in the area! The easy accessibility to the ocean and pools made our trip with younger children a breeze! Our only surprise was the distance to grocery stores, gas stations, etc. It’s about 30 minutes away, but now that we have that knowledge we will just plan differently. Totally not a big deal and a easy change in planning for next time! We adored this stay and already hope to return next year!

A great place in Harbor Island

This condo is great, very comfortable, had everything we needed and everything worked well, cleaning ourselves was not a problem, found most everything we needed to do the job. The owner answered my questions quickly. The close proximity to Hunting Island is a big plus! Would definitely stay here again.

Really great condo

The condo was really nice and we absolutely loved the porch view. It was an easy walk to the beach over a nice boardwalk. We had a few people coming and going through the week and the host was amazing with getting us extra parking passes and so helpful. The couch/chairs were a little stained but we covered them with sheets and they were very comfortable. We didn’t mind and everything in the house seemed clean and cared for, overall great place to stay and we would come back!

Not what we expected

Stayed on Harbor Island before. Good location but the required cleaning is a lot with limited supplies. This is a 2 level condo. Master bedroom was extremely hot with an uncomfortable bed. Pillows need to be replaced.Nice having extra bathrooms. Listing said parking for one vehicle additional was extra. We only had one car and was charged $85 for parking. Golf carts take up a-lot of the parking spaces for cars. Keep your eyes open because they will run over you. Lots of stairs outside and inside. Not senior friendly.

Nice quaint unit close to the beach. There was a later check out time (noon) probably because you are responsible to clean for the next group checking in, which was fine.

Liked: Communication
The property is equipped with everything you need. The owners communicate perfectly. The villa ratings are good but it shows wear and tear. The owners do cut you a break by asking you to clean from their checklist but the level is subjective. When we arrived it was just ok. On that note, I would rent again. Bring your own beach gear. Laundry worked great! Kitchen is well equipped. The community is nice with 2 small pools and one big pool, a gym, tennis courts and a gift/snack shop and just 5 min from the beach. It’s quiet. The tide is out for what seems like a mile most hours. It’s safe for kids and fun to explore though. Locals say stay away from the abandoned beach homes on the sand due to glass etc..The birds are fun to watch. Close dining is limited but good. Low country Superior Coffee had amazing food. Beaufort is beautiful and quaint.

Relaxing vacation on Harbor Island

My family loves staying at Harbor Island for the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I would stay here again. Not the most direct view of the ocean but does have nice views of the end of the island and marsh.

Outstanding View!

This condo has possibly the best view of any place we've stayed. Spectacular view of the ocean and sandbars to the left, and views of the tidal marsh to the right. We enjoyed sitting on the large deck each evening with the ocean breeze generally keeping the bugs away. The condo is very nice and comfortable, having everything we needed. It was clean, and ready for us when we got there, and we didn't mind cleaning it the same for the next renter. Communication with the owners was great. And a lot of communication, since a hurricane was heading in. We had to cut our trip short, but we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful week!

This condo was very comfortable and a great fit for our family! We put adults in both upstairs bedrooms and kids on the pullout sofa, which was much more comfortable than most they have slept on. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The view from the deck of both the marsh and the ocean was a treat! We’d definitely stay here again.

Ocean View Stay

The advertisement for this property was spot on. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the main bedroom window and from the deck. The beach was a 2 minute walk from the rental. Being in a home atmosphere made for a very relaxing vacation. It was nice that the rental was equipped with everything needed to cook and real dishes to use. The homeowners really thought of everything. We had great communication with the owner. The Island was beautiful to explore. The locals were extremely friendly. The area seafood restaurants were amazing. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back.

PERFECT SPOT WITH GREAT COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT!

We had a blast, and the location of this condo is awesome. The walkway, pool, beach, and marsh are super close. The building is older, so renters need to understand that the condo isn't going to appear spotless, but it is clean:) The previous renters did a good job cleaning up for us (even leaving a nice note, which we carried forward), and we did our best to sanitize the home from top to bottom. There were LOTS of towels and bed linens, which was helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed, and every appliance worked great. Thanks so much for a wonderful week!

This place was great. It was right by the beach. We actually witnessed baby turtles hatching and going out to sea. It was an amazing experience. We went down for our sons graduation from Parris Island. Only 25 minute drive to the base. We would come back again.

Perfect in every way!

This little slice of awesomeness was just what we were looking for! Quite location and right on the beach. It felt like we were in our own private house and beach because of how respectful everyone was of our privacy and space. The beach is perfect if you’re looking for a little more of a natural beach with not so many people hanging around and the noise to go with it. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed. There are grills outside but bring your own charcoal. We absolutely loved our time here and would highly recommend. If we find ourselves back that way, we would most certainly stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Wilson Hubbell

Host profile image
Second generation caretakers of our family beach getaway. Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, our family (Wilson, Jess, and a 12-year old and 8-year old) now lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Why they chose this property

My mother purchased this property when it was built in 1983, not as an investment, but because she fell in love with Harbor Island. The low country of South Carolina is an ever changing unique ecosystem, and every time I go there I am as delighted as I was the first time that I visited.

What makes this property unique

Harbor Island is about sharing some quiet time on a sea island with the natural inhabitants. Over 650 heron, egret, ibis, and others reside on the island. Migrating birds from the arctic on their way to the tip of South America stop by at Harbor. The sandbars are nesting grounds for endangered birds. And that is just the bird life . . . . Are you a nature lover? . . . you will love Harbor Island.
