Harbor Island is a private, gated barrier island 14 miles from Beaufort SC. Ideally located for day trips, Harbor is about an hour and a half drive south to Savannah GA, and about two hours north to historic Charleston, SC. Beaufort, about 30 minutes away, offers boutique shopping, great restaurants, horse and buggy and walking tours of the historic district, and a tremendous waterfront park stretching along the Intracoastal Waterway with boat tours (dolphin watch, sunset cruise, eco-tours, etc.) departing from the marina.
If golf is your thing, there are several moderately priced, easily accessible golf courses in the Beaufort area and many more an hour or so away on nearby Hilton Head Island. But we are betting you will never want to leave Harbor Island after you check into this great home!

Summary of reviewsGreat location with beach and pool access. Spectacular views, well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. Updates needed but overall enjoyable stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The property was very clean and nicely updated. The location is hard to beat—the pool is right below the porch, and the beach is just a short walk away, which made it really easy with little kids.Amenities on the island are pretty limited, so I’d recommend picking up the basics before you arrive. The house only came with one trash bag for the week. Overall, great stay. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend.

Property manager was wonderful!! Very supportive during Tropical Storm Idalia. The house could use of few updates but overall met all our needs. The location was perfect. My family and I would recommend this property and plan on renting again.
5 / 10·Oct 2022
The property was beautiful with amazing views all around. Very comfortable for 7 adults, 2 with disabilities, and a preschooler. The golf cart made access easy and enjoyable. Sea Island Rental staff, Morgan and Sheila, we're absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. Very responsive and super helpful. We have been visiting Harbor Island for 25 years and hope to retire there one day.
