The house exceeded expectations and provided all needed amenities and space. Great family vacation rental with community pool, golf cart, ease of instructions and homeowners were very responsive. The house location has marsh and sound views and bird sanctuaries on the island. The ocean was a one mile drive to a state park and the cost was 65 for the week. The only down side to this property was needing to drive to see the ocean. There were no ocean views or ocean access from the house.

Everything We Were Looking For

Sea Psalms has everything that we were looking for! The beautiful home has plenty of space for our family gatherings both inside and out while still having places for privacy and quiet time. Having both beach and marsh views allowed us to enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets. The house was well equipped, and communication with the owner was easy.

Girls' Weekend

My sisters and nieces had a wonderful long weekend and loved this home. The home is beautiful and spacious and so close to the beach. There was plenty of room for all 11 of us. We especially loved having our coffee on the back deck each morning. The house was clean when we arrived, and exactly as described. Keith was so gracious to make sure our parking passes were waiting for us when we arrived at the gate. We would definitely stay here again. V. Hester

Perfect Home for Our Families!

Sea Psalms was the perfect home for our families. With 6 adults and 4 kids we fit very comfortably. The books!! Every room had a wonderful selection of books! I immediately felt a kindred spirit. The home is extremely warm and inviting- the perfect getaway for our hectic life. A great selection of games and activities for fun evenings to create wonderful memories. The kitchen is well-stocked and great for making meals for the size of our crew. Access to the beach is easy and the ample supply of chairs and beach gear was very much appreciated as we came via airplane. Highly recommend Sea Psalms. Keith and Laura are wonderful to work with and helpful with questions. Wish we could've stayed longer!!

Wonderful spring break!

Our family of five spent four fantastic days at Sea Psalms April 7-11, 2014. To say we had ample space is an understatement, as this home would very comfortably accommodate a larger party. Even so, it was very comfortable for 2 adults, 2 teenagers and an adventurous 8 year old. The home is beautifully decorated and appointed, at the same time being very comfortable and livable. The pictures are very accurate, but truly don't do it justice. We felt completely at home from the moment we walked in. The owners have provided everything: the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, there are beach towels galore, and ample "equipment" for fun at the beach with everything from sand toys to great beach chairs and umbrellas. And the books! Every room offers stacks of books to choose from...so many books, so little time! The porches and huge deck have very comfortable furniture for relaxing and taking in the views. Because we visited early in the season, the community was not busy at all, but the neighbors we did meet were very nice. The beach is absolutely beautiful: white sand, great for walking and running, very private, constantly changing with the tides. We walked the beach every day, and every day saw or discovered something different. Lots of marine life, including dolphin watching. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets--only drawback were the sand gnats (like no seeums) that swarm at dawn and dusk. Beaufort and the surrounding area have some very interesting history that we would have loved to explore more. We'd recommend skipping HH and just sticking around exploring the Sea Islands. It's about a 20 minute drive to the nearest grocery store; as others have recommended, stop and get your groceries on the way in (Lady's Island has a Food Lion and Publix). Don't miss the Gay Fish Company around the corner from the house! Grab some fresh shrimp, steam it up and enjoy! If you are looking for hustle and bustle, this is NOT the place for you. But, if you want to completely relax, leave your cares behind and experience low country beach living, you can't find a better place to do it. Keith and Laura are fantastic homeowners, very easy to work with. They respond very quickly to any and all inquiries and make sure you can reach them easily, if needed, during your stay. We are so grateful to have found and experienced Sea Psalms!

The house was great. My only complaint was that the internet was down Tuesday evening and we were without water due to a water main break on the island- part of the day on Thursday and practically the whole day on Friday which was very inconvenient. A later checkout time would have been good due to the water issue, or a partial refund would also have been great, although the issue was not with the owner at all. Beautiful house and great location!

The property was better than any property we have ever stayed in. The owner was available and very responsive. The home was well furnished and clean and we lacked nothing. Our family of 11 (5 children, 5 years and under) had plenty of room and was very comfortable. Perfect family vacation! The beach is very easy to access, the pool is convenient and perfect for new swimmers and adults. The property had plenty of beach chairs and toys for our use. This house had incredible views of both the sunrise and the sunset! If you are looking for a quiet, clean, perfectly located beach home for your family, look no further. This is definitely the perfect one!

Great family vacation

The house is large and roomy... we have a large family- it was great to all be able to sit at the same table for dinners! The views are fantastic and the porches are great to sit on. The beach is perfect to walk on even when its a windy day. I was exceptionally lucky and saw a sea turtle laying her eggs.

Incredible

My family owned a house on harbor Island for 30 years, such a beautiful place. I have always admired this home. The decks around the house offer beautiful views of beach and marsh. House is across the street from beach access 6. This is the best equipped house we have ever rented. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, and bake. Has a Keurig. Serve wear for 12. Large table that seats 10! Outdoor screened in patio table. Lots of beach toys and chairs in the shed. You cant fully enjoy Harbor Island without a golf cart, and we appreciated that with the rental. Thanks for sharing your home.

Wow! Great Island

We absolutely loved our stay in this house on Harbor Island. It was almost like having a private beach. Even though the house wasn’t ocean front, it was very close to the beach access and had amazing ocean views and marsh views. I highly recommend and plan to come back again. The rooms were all set up nicely to accomodate our three families and kids.

About the host

Hosted by Keith Huggins

Host profile image
We are a very active family of five! Our three daughters keep us on the move and enjoying life.....we have been blessed, indeed.

Why they chose this property

We grew up on the South Carolina coast and are life-long South Carolinians. We had driven 'by' Harbor Island several times going to Fripp Island, but never noticed Harbor because it was a private island and you couldn't get on the island unless you were a homeowner or guest of one. A friend purchased a place there and we rented from him in 2004 and loved the solitude of the beach, quaintness of the island and all the wildlife. On our second day of vacation, we were looking at property and bought our property later that year. We took a year to design the house for multiple families and settled on a 5 BR - 5 BA home that was completed in the summer of '06. Since that time, we have sold out each summer and are delighted to call many of them 'repeat guests'!

Recently, we read in the April '10 edition of Southern Living Magazine that they had selected Harbor Island as the 'Best Secret Beach for Families' saying 'Harbor Island feels far away from it all, but not too fare from the amenities that make a good family trip'. The magazine goes on to describe Harbor as a '...Lowcountry isle is a quiet place, with 3 miles of secluded beach visited mostly by pelicans, herons, and horseshoe crabs. Each day here begins with a sunrise that turns the Atlantic into a pink sea framed by golden marsh grasses.' It looks like we have been 'found out'! Hope you can come and enjoy some of our unspoiled beauty as our guests.

What makes this property unique

We love the positioning of our house...you can stand in the kitchen and see the marsh out of the back windows and the ocean out of the front windows. You can actually see Editsto while standing in our kitchen. We love our proximity to the beach (right across the street) and the quietness of the West End of the island. There are only 4 rental houses north of us, so the beaches are always VERY quiet...you feel like you have the place to yourself every day! We love the wildlife all over the island, watching the dolphins dance and watching the shrimp boats ease by.....very peaceful.
