The Living Space

The open-concept design keeps everyone connected, allowing conversation to flow easily between the seating area, dining room, and kitchen.

Restful Bedrooms
Each bedroom is prepared with fresh bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets to help your group unwind after full days outdoors. The primary suite offers a king hybrid mattress, room-darkening window treatments, and a private television for quiet evenings in bed.

The two queen guest rooms provide calm sleeping environments with plenty of closet storage for unpacking your luggage. The fourth bedroom serves as a versatile room with two single beds via a twin trundle, making it an easy resting spot for children or friends.

Bathrooms
The home features two full bathrooms stocked with starter shampoo and conditioner. The primary ensuite bathroom provides both a walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub for unhurried baths after a long walk on the sand. A second full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and common areas. An in-unit washer and dryer with provided laundry detergent make keeping beach towels and clothing fresh throughout your visit.

Outdoor Living
Take in the gentle marsh breezes from either of the two screened porches, where ceiling fans keep air circulating during warm Lowcountry afternoons. Sip your morning coffee in the porch armchairs while the island wakes up, or head downstairs to fire up the gas barbecue grill for an evening cookout. An enclosed outdoor shower makes it simple to wash off sandy feet and rinse down the provided cruiser bikes and beach boards before storing them under the porch.

Your Work-From-Anywhere Setup
When work or school needs attention, head to the dedicated desk area located in the fourth bedroom. This workspace receives steady natural light and connects to the high-speed wireless internet available throughout the home, giving you a quiet place to take video calls or catch up on emails between beach outings.

A Second Place to Unwind
Step into the garage to find a full-size ping pong table set up for game nights and rainy afternoon challenges. In addition to indoor play, the community offers access to tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, a children's playground, and a shared crabbing dock over the tidal water.

We really enjoyed our stay on Harbor Island, and Michelle's place was fantastic. We really loved the decor, the quality of the appliances and the finishes. My wife really loved the screened and covered porches. The back porch was her favorite as it offered a great place to eat lunch and dinner without any bothersome bugs. The golf cart was great for exploring the island. There are two ponds on the island that have viewing areas where you can see the resident alligators, and our kids loved cruising up there on the golf cart multiple times a day to check them out. The park pass was also much appreciated as we went to Hunting Island State Park almost every day of our stay. The boneyard at the south end of Hunting Island is a great place to explore at low tide with a good chance of finding sea stars and sand dollars. The neighborhood was super quiet, and the vibe of the island was perfect for us. We hope to return again in the future.

Great rental on Harbor Island! This home was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It had everything we needed and more. It was a very relaxing stay in a quiet, peaceful area. The host was attentive and easy to communicate with, which made the experience seamless. We will definitely stay here again!
