About this house rental
We are excited to share our beautiful ocean front property with you. Check out Pelican Harbor House on Facebook.
This 4 bedroom, 3 bath duplex in the small, gated community of Harbor Island, offers stunning views and pristine beaches. Watch the sun rise over the ocean from the back porch and sip wine on the front porch while the sun sets over the marsh.
Take a pick of either main bedrooms on the main floor and your choice of views of the dunes and beach or marsh. Each master has a queen bed. The upstairs bedrooms share a common bath and have great views as the rooms below. One bedroom has a full bed and the ‘kids’ room can sleep multiple kids on the twin/ double bunk with twin trundle and a full size pull out sofa.
A short 2 minute walk ( 300 steps) over the dunes brings you to three miles of sandy beach recognized by the Audubon Society as a destination for sea birds and loggerhead turtles. Relax while the kids play, hunt for horseshoe crabs and entertain themselves with hermit crab races.
During high tide the sand bar provides a safe place for shallow swimming and at low tide you can collect hermit crabs and swim in the tide pool. If you are done with the ocean, check out the Beach and Raquet Club. There's a pool, kiddie pool, swing set, and alligator observation area to enjoy. And, if you're up for it, you can play a game of tennis, hoops or get a workout at the gym. Bike and helmet rentals are available at the Harbor Island Beach and Racquet Club.

Our group of 8 had an amazing stay in St Helena. It was our first time here and we really enjoyed our trip. We had 3 boys comfortably sleep in one upstairs bedroom and 2 teenage girls in the other. There was a bathroom upstairs for them to share. Our 17 year old girl got a bedroom to herself downstairs & we shared the master which was really nicely redone with modern accents—the shower is amazing. It was great having an extra full bath downstairs as well. The kitchen was really well equipped with anything and everything imaginable. We brought bikes but was nice to have extra there and the kayaks were a hit with the kids. They went out one evening at sunset and were greeted by dolphins and experienced a rainbow all at the same time! We saw a baby turtle on the beach and some nurse sharks (washed up in the morning). LOTS of nature. Hunting island beach was a close drive everyone enjoyed. We took trip to a Beauford one day where there were more options for restaurants, shopping & exploring. Lots of history & gorgeous old homes. The forts were cool & kids free to see the museum there. Bought scallops, mahi & shrimp to make for dinner one night at the Gay fish Co—all fresh & delicious! It was really hot & humid during our stay, and the property (which is actually on a river I believe) is why the waves & winds are mild but bugs were fierce! The water was really shallow & warm but beautiful quiet non-commercial beach. Incredibly gracious hosts. Thank you!!

We had a great stay. House was clean and well kept. Owners were very responsive and checked to make sure everything was good.

House was nicer than in the pictures. Pool & beach were both easy 3-5 minute walks. Front porch cool in the mornings for coffee and reading. Only negatives were the remote batteries had to be replaced several times, no frying pans available, no can opener (however, every other small appliance & utensils available). House supposed to come with a grill. A grill was in a box on the front porch when we arrived, and we had to put it together (this was not at all expected) Overall, very nice stay!

The property is exactly as shown and described. It has lots of things to make your stay comfortable. Videos, streaming, books, even games, and crayons for the kids. A nice large kitchen table that was able to seat our large group and the barstools were good for staggered meals. They have everything you could think of for the kitchen. The screened in porch was a treat! The little kids enjoyed the pools and the playground in the same area. The middle teen loved the basketball court. We had a lot of fun playing together.
Things to consider if you visit....my adult teens were not as thrilled as the younger kids and teens. They wanted more to do without having to drive 45 min to an hour. The rest of us loved it. The 19 year olds, not so much.
I found the area to be great for what I was looking for in a vacation. There was even a great walk-in clinic nearby to help out when I caught strep. The Lowcountry Clinic was helpful and even directed me to the closest Walgreens pharmacy.
It was an excellent vacation.
