About this property

1st Floor 'Home in Paradise' Ocean front, Free Wi-Fi, Exercise and Laundry room

Just 15 min. from historic Beaufort, 5 min to Hunting Island State Park; 57 miles to enchanting Savannah, 69 miles to thriving Charleston and 12 miles to Parris Island. Beaufort offers all the down-home charm of an older, southern city minus the really big crowds. (However, with more than 2 million visitors per year, it's not entirely disregarded.) History, architecture, the waterfront, a healthy local arts scene and great local restaurants separate Beaufort from other low country locales. Named the cutest town in SC by PowWow.com as the poster-child for adorable towns, it has all the Southern charm you could ever dream of: friendly people, a low-country culture, a slow-paced lifestyle, Antebellum architecture and Spanish moss as far as the eye can see.

Décore: Ocean Blue ceramic floor tile, Serta pullout sleeper sofa, Serta pullout side chair, 58" smart TV with Roku in the living room, flat screen TV in the bedroom, sailor blue bedroom furniture with a queen pillow-top bed and a nautical theme. This first floor vacation condo features a screen porch overlooking one of the island's 3 pools with a view of 3 mile long private, uncrowded beach and morning sunrises. Just 70 yards over the boardwalk, over the sea oats/sand dunes and you're on the beach!! Pets must be well behaved and preapproved. Pet owners planning to bring pet(s) must reserve with a credit card. Pets may require an extra cleaning fee, especially long-haired pets.
Close to rookeries with hundreds of herons and egrets.

We love to relax and enjoy the warmth of the sun, cool water and carefree attitude in a quiet neighborhood atmosphere with 24-hour security guards at the gated entrance. Take long walks on your own sandy beach. All the pleasures and privacy that a hotel cannot offer.

11 GOLF COURSES WITHIN 15 MILES.

And golf is only one of nearby Beaufort’s drawing cards. Just 10 minutes away Camelot Farms provides Equestrian Adventures. It won’t take long for you to discover why movie makers so often choose the Lowcountry as a movie set. Forrest Gump, The Prince of Tides, and The Big Chill are but a few of our credits.

Spend a week, especially when there's a festival going on or you can get a taste even in a few days thanks to well regarded tours. Festivals include:
Feb. - Internat'l Film Festival
April - Annual Soft Shell Crab Festival
May - Taste of Beaufort
May - Annual Gullah Festival
July 4th - Celebration in Port Royal and @ Parris Is.
July - Annual Beaufort Water Festival
October - Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival
Nov. - Annual Penn Center Heritage Days
December - Annual Night on the Town - 6p - 9p
December 6 - Gullah Christmas - 12 am - 12 am

The waterfront park is home to many festivals and it backs up to the three-block-long shopping and dining district. Other attractions: the history of the original Gullah community at Penn Center on St. Helena Island and the Santa Elena History Center. Climb the look out tower on Hunting Island State Park for spectacular views.

Contact www.beaufortsc.org for information on year round adventure tours, coach, boat and kayak tours, bike tours, walking tours, or horse drawn carriage and touring vans. And don't miss a stroll along lovely Bay Street packed with beguiling local shops.

Annette and staff has everything you need to make your 1 night, 1 week or 1 month enjoyable. Just bring the food and your favorite spices and your ready to go. Beautiful Cozy Porch, close to crabbing, fishing and beach relaxing. Beautiful landscape greets you as you enter the property.

We have made Beaufort our OFFICIAL Home away from home (almost bi-weekly we are in Beaufort) and thanks to our new friend Annette this condo will be another reason to add to our long list 'WHY WE LOVE BEAUFORT'.. SC's own Paradise.

What a relaxing, peaceful vacation. The condo was like a home away from home, very clean and inviting. It rained our first night there but the screened porch was a great way to spend a rainy night. We even got to enjoy watching a school of dolphins swim while lounging on the beach. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, serene place to enjoy some down time!

A PIECE OF HEAVEN!!

Harbor is a very peaceful and serene environment, and it is a must see. The condo is very quaint and relaxing. I recommend going to this condo as much as possible.

Apartment updates
The apartment needs some update, the balcony door is impossible to open, the digital device at the front door is not working. Smells weir when you come in

Great location
Although the condo needs to be updated, it was clean, kitchen had all the things I needed and the view was beautiful. Very close walk to the beach. I would suggest a small outdoor high top table to enjoy the view while sitting on the porch. The bag chairs supplied were uncomfortable and sit to low to be able to see the beautiful view this condo has to offer.

Awful moldy smell and dust everywhere. Do not rent if you have any health ailments.
Do not recommend to anyone sensitive to moldy dusty smells. The moment you walk into the apartment you are hit with an overwhelming smell of mold. Turned the heat up and opened the sliding porch door which is hard to open. The ceiling popped and cracked when the heat was on. Dust was everywhere. Could not sleep due to the smell and dust. Contacted the owner who sent a cleaning lady the next afternoon. They sprayed air freshener to cover the mold smell. Could not sleep the second night because of the awful smell. Left the apartment in the middle of the night because of the health hazard of staying in the apartment. Contacted the owner who said she would refund the days I didn’t stay. Now she has back tracked and said that a contractor did not note mold therefore she would not refund partial payment. Expensive lesson to learn. Pay attention to the reviews if you want to have an enjoyable vacation.

Lovely place for those with pets
We would use the condo again. Easy access to areas in which to walk dogs. They had more fun than a dog should! Very clean and adequately equipped for kitchen needs.

About the host

Hosted by Ty Gilmore

Host profile image
I am retired from the Cooperative Extension Service where I enjoyed a 30 year career as a 4-H agent, Home Economist and for the last 5 years a Cluster Director. I am widowed and have one son (Ty), and eight grandchildren ranging in age from 36 to 13. I enjoy dancing, reading, gardening, water aerobics, crocheting, sewing and traveling. And I'm an active member of the Baha'i Faith sharing its message of Unity.

Why they chose this property

Once I felt the gentle breezes and saw the flowing waters, sandy beach and spacious views of Harbor Island, I was hooked enough to find my property.

What makes this property unique

Remarkable sunrises and sunsets, access to swimming pools, collecting sea shells, walking among the terns, pelicans, egrets, herons and horseshoe crabs, 24-hour security, graceful sand dunes covered with sea oats and coastal grasses, peace, tranquility and a wonderful place to take the grandchildren.
