About this property

Ocean/Marsh Front, NEW renovated Deck!

Marsh+Ocean Wonderland šŸŒ“ 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 balconyā€”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!

Great place to relax by the ocean

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!

12 day vacation

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 didnā€™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.,

Great Getaway

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. Thereā€™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.

Condo was great- would do it again!!!!

Sherry has an amazing place and it is decorated perfectly. Beautiful views, close to restaurants that are a must (shrimp shack and dockside) and ā€¦ 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 wonā€™t getcha).

A perfect spot on the Coast!

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!

Turtle Villa Vacation

Our family enjoyed our week at Turtle Villa. The decor was excellent and the host provided everything we needed to make the trip enjoyable. Harbor Island is a quiet location, but the pass to Hunting Island is what makes this location. We went there every day. We would absolutely return. The only recommendations for the property are 1) more hooks are needed to hang up towels and bathing suits and 2) the television system was difficult to use and we lost signal frequently. 5 stars for sure.

Turtle Vill-Amazing!

Fantastic property! The location was perfect for what we were looking for - a low key beach vacation and easy drives to Charleston and Savannah. We are a family of 5 and the condo was great - had everything we needed, was super clean and well-appointed. The comfy king bed was a HUGE bonus for the husband and I - was not overly squishy which you find in many rentals. We cooked 4 meals at the condo and had everything we needed. The condo's pool was also great - kids ended each day there. We spent each beach day at Hunting Island which may be one of my fav places ever. We took walks at night to Pelican Point. The wildlife did not disappoint. We saw a gator the first night on the beach and then under the boardwalk to the beach. We also saw turtles, frogs, crabs, dolphins, horseshoe crabs and even accidentally brought home a hermit crab in my pocket! We had ice cream at Barefoot Bubba's twice, watched a sunset from the marsh boardwalk, kayaked with Coastal Expeditions, spent a day in Charleston and half a day in Savannah (which I wish had been a full day - such a cool city!) Beaufort is also a super fun town. Cannot say enough good things about the property, its location and all the area has to offer!

Sunset beach

My friends and I had some glorious days staying here. We got up every morning and went out to see stars which were more visible because it's a dark beach for turtles. Then we stayed to watch the beautiful sunrises. It was a great condo for the four of us. We greatly enjoyed the nearby state park and the access to that. The beach isn't visible from the photos but is right around the corner. Would love to come back here every year!

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Heimberger

Host profile image
Hello all and welcome! We are Sherry and Steve. We have been Airbnb hosting approximately 4 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 28 and teaches College while pursuing her Doctorate. She is also recently engaged! We can't wait to "officially" welcome our future son-in-law! We love to travel, explore and take several small weekend RV trips per year and usually one longer tripā€”either a cruise or flight to some new faraway adventure. Over several decades this has allowed us to essentially ā€œtry-outā€ 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 condoā€”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, weā€™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.
