About this property

Ocean View Villa by the Sea ~ Expansive Ocean Views ~ Pet Friendly

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."

Relaxing stay with beautiful views

A perfect place for me to unwind and visit with my son who recently moved to Beaufort! I loved watching the dolphins in the morning playing while having my tea on the balcony after greeting each sunrise with my puppy on our daily walks! I had everything I needed for a relaxing stay on beautiful Harbor Island. I will definitely be back!!

Wonderful Stay

Really enjoyed our stay! The view was the best part! House was very clean and had all we needed. Reserving the pool was a pain but we were able to get in 5 out of the 7 days and had pool to ourselves and one other family for an hour! Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing view

Plenty of space for our family of 4 and dogs! It’s a 3rd floor walk up so be prepared but the view is amazing and can’t be beat! Plenty of towels and dishes to cook all your meals. But also 2 great places right out the gate to eat too! Pool and beach are so close-we had a great week and would love to come Back

Peaceful Stay

An easy third floor walk-up. Not bad. First thing you see as you enter is a beautiful view of the ocean. It also looks out over the pool. The condo is clean, open and has lots of light. Kitchen has everything you need. It is a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and are already discussing another visit.

Great Proximity to Pool & Beach

Probably the cleanest property we have ever rented. Only thing someone may want to know...and it's not with the property itself...but the beach/ocean. The tide goes very far out for hours. You may walk over a mile to get to the water during low tide.

Great for a long weekend!

Our rental was clean, well appointed, and in the center of the island. Corner, top unit of three stories, so it was pretty quiet. Harbor Island is fantastic, the beach is teeming with life, and great for small children because there is no rough surf. And having the very nice pool(s!!) to enjoy was an excellent break from the beaches. So many friendly people! South Carolina’s little secret! We will surely be back to the Island as well as the condo!

YES, you want to stay here!

Our condo was amazing!! We had no trouble getting in, and when we did, we were stunned. Everything was immaculately clean. There was more space than we expected. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. The decor was thoughtful and homey. We were on the top floor, so everything was quiet (though the stairs became tiring--our fault). Everything about our stay was wonderful.

Amazing time and so relaxing

This two bedroom, two full bath condo is next to heaven. The layout is thoughtful and has plenty of space for privacy. I loved that it had a small washer/dryer in the unit and the kitchen was well stocked. This condo is on the 3rd floor so you will get your steps for the week which was fine for us. I recommend getting your groceries delivered from Publix! Couches were new, the beds were comfortable, and the porch was wonderful to watch the sunrise and dolphins in the morning! Highly recommend this condo!

Ocean View Villa M318 on Harbor Island

We only stayed 3 nights, but wish it was longer. Excellent accommodations; the third floor corner location offers great views of the ocean as well as a wonderful ocean breeze. Upon arrival, check-in was quick and easy. The unit was very clean and had all the supplies we needed. Morgan was our contact from booking to checkout and she was amazing, checking in to make sure we were happy and didn’t need anything else. We definitely plan on returning to Harbor Island and renting this unit again. I highly recommend this condo, especially if you have a pet you want to bring with you. You won’t be disappointed.

A fabulo6s property and location!

The property is even more wonderful on every way than depicted. We were over the top with every aspect. The unit we rented gave us even more 5han expected 8n cleanliness, decor and supplies. The air conditioning in the queen bedroom does not perform. We moved into the twin bedroom and it was most comfy. We would reccomend adding a hair dryer, bath mats in the tops to prevent from slipping or perhaps a grab bar. Also you might suggest to your cleaning staff to clean the dryer vent of line to avoid an issue. We have a cottage/9vern8ght rental 8n Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We offer these suggestions as an assistance for future guests.

Great Stay

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and we highly recommend it. The Harbor Island complex has a guard shack that is staffed around the clock and the area has a very safe "feel" to it. This particular unit is just a short walk away from the beach and is close to 3 pools of various sizes. The mid-sized pool is about 50 feet from the unit and visible from the balcony. There is a smaller pool about 300 feet away and a larger pool that's about 800 feet away. Just across the street (on the way to the big pool) is the "Turtle's Nest" where you can rent bicycles. We rented a few and rode them around the complex several times for a couple of days. They also have two small exercise rooms that we didn't use. One has treadmills and exercise bikes and the other has weight machines. In this same area is a small "dog park" where you can let your dog off the leash and close by are some tennis courts. On 2 or 3 days there were various food trucks. he unit itself is exceptionally clean and all the rooms are nice. The kitchen has all the basic glassware, cookware and utensils you'll need. You can use grinds OR pods in the coffee machine and there is a full size refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove and toaster. They have a stacked washer and dryer and dishwasher too. The kitchen is open and you can see the ocean while you're standing at the sink. The bathroom has a make-up mirror which is nice. A few notes. Bring your own beach chairs and cart.
