About the host
Hosted by Crystal Francesconi
I love being a host because I know what it feels like to need a break from the noise of life and we have the opportunity to offer people a space where they can rest, reconnect, and create lifelong memories, just like we did. It’s a gift to be part of someone’s special moments. We get to share the serenity and beauty of this island with others. It brings us immense joy to know that guests are waking up to ocean air, exploring untouched nature, and experiencing the same peace that made us fall in love with this place. I love being a host because every stay here is a new story. Whether it's a couple's first getaway, a much needed solo retreat, or best friends sharing a time of laughter and adventure knowing that my home can be part of that is incredibly fulfilling.
Why they chose this property
In 2019, my husband and I realized something important - we had never truly taken a vacation. Life had been busy with work, parenting, and the day to day hustle, and we hadn’t prioritized time just for us. With the help of a family member who offered to watch our son, we finally had the chance.
We began searching for somewhere special online, not just a beach town, but a place that felt one of a kind. That’s when I stumbled across a listing for a cozy one bedroom condo on a private island. It felt too good to be true: peaceful, affordable, and surrounded by nature. We took a chance and booked it.
That trip changed everything.
We spent the most incredible week of our lives walking along quiet shores, spotting dolphins, collecting shells, and reconnecting in a way we hadn’t in years. We explored local produce farms, savored fresh seafood, and simply slowed down. The peaceful stillness of the island, the magic in the air and it stayed with us long after we returned home.
From that moment on, we dreamed of owning a place just like it, somewhere to return to again and again. For a few years, nothing felt quite right... until 2022. We were casually browsing beach listings, and there it was, the exact same condo where our story began. It felt like fate. We didn’t hesitate.
We bought it, and now we’re honored to share it with others.
Every time we drive onto the island and ride down the lane lined with palm trees, greeted by sweeping views of the Lowcountry and the scent of the ocean in the air, we feel that same peace and magic all over again, It brings us so much joy to welcome guests who are looking to reconnect, recharge, or just experience something truly special.
We hope it brings you the same happiness it’s brought us.

What makes this property unique
Nestled on Harbor Island is a peaceful, gated barrier island just outside historic Beaufort, S.C. Our condo is a rare gem that offers guests an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, quiet charm, and coastal magic. What makes our property truly unique is its location and atmosphere: it sits on a private island teeming with wildlife, framed by palm trees, salt marshes, and ocean breezes. The moment you drive down the lane lined with palms and feel the hush of nature settle in, you’ll know you’ve found something special.
Our one bedroom condo is part of a special community that feels far removed from the busy world, yet it's only 20 minutes from the heart of Beaufort, a town steeped in Southern history and famously featured in Forrest Gump. The shrimping docks, moss draped oaks, and timeless streets nearby feel like stepping into a movie scene.
Harbor Island itself is a haven for nature lovers: dolphins swim just offshore, seabirds soar overhead, and the untouched beaches are perfect for shell collecting, sunrise photographs, sunset walks, and stargazing. You’ll often see egrets, herons, and even sea turtles in nesting season.
What makes our condo extra special is its intimate connection to our story, it is the very same place where we fell in love with the island during our first ever vacation together. We feel honored to now share it with others looking to recharge, reconnect, and make their own cherished memories.
Whether you're here for romance, rest, or the beauty of the Lowcountry, this peaceful retreat will stay with you long after you leave.
