About this apartment rental

Welcome to villa M318 on Harbor Island. This 2 bedroom 2 bath corner villa provides an open floor plan that is bright and spacious. Located on the third floor, so there are some stairs to get in. All new interior paint enliven this great villa with expansive ocean views. The corner location provides more windows, more light, more privacy and panoramic views. The spacious living area features a sofa and love seat, armless side chair with side tables, cable TV with DVD player, 42' flat screen, and stereo radio/CD player.
It opens onto a deck with fabulous ocean and pool views. This is a very light and bright villa, with numerous large windows inviting the sun and views, including a direct ocean view from the living/dining area. A wireless high speed Internet connection means you can sit on your deck and watch the shrimp boats go by.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware and tableware, full refrigerator and stove, microwave, new dishwasher and new cabinets. There is a full washer and dryer in the kitchen for your convenience. The dining area provides seating for 6 with additional seating at the counter.

The master bedroom features a king size bed, two windows for ample natural light, ocean view, plenty of storage, ceiling fan and cable TV. The master bedroom and the adjacent full bath can be closed off to make a private suite or left open for access from the main hallway by other guests.

The guest bedroom offers two twin beds, cable television, ceiling fan, and an attached private bath. Prime location and beautiful views! And you will surely enjoy the ocean breeze and great views of the ocean and pool from your back deck. Near all Island amenities and just a two minute walk to the beach. Less than a minute to the beach boardwalk....then about 4 minutes to the beach with all the comforts of home.

This villa includes the use of two pools, one right behind the building and the Beach and Racquet Club just a block away. Harbor Island offers a quiet setting with 2.5 miles of natural beach with a gentle slope. Wrapped by the Harbor River, Saint Helena Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and Johnson’s Creek, the vistas are always changing.

Designated an Audubon Important Bird Area, Harbor Island is home and host to a myriad of bird life including nesting egrets in the lagoon areas where you can sometimes glimpse a gator. Fishing is allowed from the beach, and the Island has a crabbing dock. Right across the Harbor River Bridge, Gay Seafood brings in fresh fish and shrimp. If you’d rather have the cooking done for you, The Shrimp Shack is just across the street from Gay’s. A long local tradition, it serves up mainly fried fresh seafood and simple fare available for takeout or to eat there on the picnic tables.

Less than a quarter mile in the other direction is another long established casual restaurant, Johnson’s Creek Tavern, known locally as JCT. A combination bar and restaurant, you will find people of every age there enjoying meals or drinks indoors or on the outside decks, or listening to the live music occasionally offered. Many other restaurant options ranging from fast food to fine dining are available on nearby Saint Helena Island, Lady’s Island, and in Beaufort.
Beaufort itself is 14 miles from Harbor Island (you will pass right through on your way to the Island). A charming historic town, you can easily spend a day or two just exploring the downtown historic and the Bay Street area shopping district, strolling the waterfront park that stretches along the Intracoastal Waterway, browsing art galleries and taking in a horse and carriage ride or perhaps a dolphin watching cruise on the Beaufort River."

Yes but needs to have choice of floors in listing. Had no idea it was on the third story. Had problems getting old dog and old people up that many stairs

We had a great stay at this beach villa on Harbor Island! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, and the pool was a definite bonus. Be aware that low tide goes way out, but it was still beautiful and peaceful. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Would definitely recommend!

This condo was perfect for a holiday at the beach. We really appreciated the amenities in the kitchen, including nice pots and pans, plentiful dishes and glassware and a nice coffee pot. The televisions were modern, and allowed us to access Amazon channels and Netflix. We also enjoyed the condo's unexpected treasures including the puzzles and games.Harbor Island is beautiful, and provided a very safe vacation during the pandemic. We will be back!
