Perfect for our family

The condo was clean and stocked with everything you need! It was so nice that they provided beach chairs and toys. It was an easy walk to the beach and the beach wasn't crowded. It was nice having the pool close to our condo. The condo was great and the owner was easy to work with.

Great time with family

We loved the location, proximity to the beach, and the condo itself. The whole fam had a great time. My youngest turned nine yrs old on this trip. I had fun playing his first tennis match with him just a short walk from the condo.

Convenient location & Beautiful beach

This was our first trip to Harbor Island, and we really enjoyed it! The condo was very convenient, overlooking the pool and just a short walk to the Beach and the Clubhouse area. We went to Hunting Island State Park for a half day. It was nice to have the pass to get in with no charge! We ate twice at the nearby Johnson's Creek Tavern, and all of our food was delicious both times. It was also really good to have chairs, game equipment, and tubes available at the condo.

perfect location & cozy apartment!

We've loved our stay in this cozy condo. Great ocean & sea grass/dune views from the kitchen as I meal-prepped for my kids. In fact, most rooms and areas had the same incredible view. My toddler loved looking down onto the pool from the patio. Easy board walk to the beach to discover lots of crabs, ocean birds and to play in the water. The extra towels, beach wagon and toys were a bonus, having two little kids. Convenient walk to rec center, too. We'll be back!

Wonderful little family getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at Meris condo. This is our 4th hear at Harbor Island, and this condo was our favorite. The layout is perfect for a family with kids. Everything is well stocked and clean. We brought our beach gear, tennis rackets, basketballs, but realized we could have left all that at home! The condo had everything we could have needed. I would love to keep Harbor Island a secret because its truly a hidden gem. We enjoyed a few days at the state park and it was nice that the park pass was provided. There are plenty of puzzles, games and even art supplies! We loved it and will return.

Peaceful Getaway

This condo has everything you need for a vacation. The kitchen is well appointed, it's the first VRBO we've used that had a crockpot. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys. If space is tight, leave all of that at home. The beach is beautiful and not crowded at all. Our only "complaint" is how shallow the water is. Our kids love to play and swim in the ocean. If you're looking for a beautiful beach, a well appointed condo, and fewer people....this is the condo and beach for you.

6 night family vacation

Our family of 4 took our first beach vacation together and chose this location. What a fantastic time we had! It was exactly what we were looking for…laid back, low key, peaceful, not crowded, and relaxing. The photos in the listing don’t do justice to how nice the condo and area are. Communication with the property manager leading up to and during our stay was excellent. Condo was clean and plenty big for us. The view was better than I had anticipated. Spent 2 days at Hunting Island Beach thanks to the parking pass they provide. Having multiple swimming pool options was nice. We enjoyed lunch a couple times at the Turtles Nest. It was an overall great experience, and we plan to come back next year!
