One of our favorite things is to hop on the golf cart and go watch the sunset.
The incredible view from the back deck.

About this house rental

The Starfish is located on serene Harbor Island, SC. It has three master suites (2 on the main floor and one on the second floor), each with a private bath and king bed. The fourth bedroom consists of 2 bunk beds (that is 4 twins) and the fifth has two full beds. These two rooms share a large hall bath, perfect for bathing the little ones. The Starfish has 3300 heated square feet with 750 square feet of covered porches and sunning deck. Our home sits on the marsh with gorgeous views of the marsh, Atlantic Ocean, and Johnson's creek.

The kitchen, great room and dining are one large room. Brazilian cherry floors on the main floor and pine on the second floor. The great room and kitchen combo have ten foot exposed ceiling with beautiful custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and neutral quartz counter tops. For the coffee drinkers, there is 12 cup traditional coffee pot. The dining table has seating for 8, while the countertop bar has additional seating for 6. Four bedrooms, kitchen, great room, dining and covered deck overlooking the marsh and ocean are located on the main floor, which is convenient for parents with small children (including us!). The third guest master, game room and sunning deck are located on the second floor. The game room consists of a full-size slate pool table, foosball table, bistro table and wet bar, complete with mini-fridge, small sink, and 55 inch TV. The children tend to hang out here, complete with sofa and chairs. The view is spectacular!

Two golf carts are included in the rental. The beach, swimming pool with kiddie pool, playground, tennis and basketball courts, cardio room, and weight room are all just a fun five minutes away on the golf cart (approximately 9/10 of a mile). Golf carts are provided for your convenience. But, we have no control over maintenance issues that occur from time to time. They are serviced prior to rental season. But, should something go wrong with the golf carts during your stay, we are unable to provide refunds or discounts, but will attempt to get them repaired as soon as possible, hopefully during your stay!

Emily was a wonderful host. Very responsive and friendly. This is our 4th year staying at Harbor Island and by far this is our favorite home. It is large and laid out well with an open floor plan. The family could all eat t together comfortably. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen has everything we needed for preparing family dinners. Having two golf carts were wonderful! The porch overlooking the marsh is amazing! I highly recommend this home. We will definitely be back!

The house was great for our 3 family spring break trip! There was plenty of space for everyone and the golf carts were a HUGE hit! You cannot beat sitting on the deck and looking out at the water. We were thankful we brought bikes so the kids could ride around the neighborhood and explore. Emily was an amazing host and we all wish we were back there right now!

Our neighbor's children play golf and had a tournament in the area. The house was the perfect size to fit us all. It was clean, well stocked with dishes, crock pots ( if needed), washer and dryer. The golf carts were great fun and convenient. I really prefer to stay on the ocean, but the marsh was a lovely change. We loved hearing the puff mudd made by the shrimp. The back porch was my favorite place to sit and read. The hunting island pass was great to use. Overall we loved it! I didn't like that at low tide there was no water, but the kids loved finding all the sea creatures and walking the sandbar. The beach was clean, sandy and not crowded.
