Clean and convenient

This condo is the perfect place to stay -- located very near the beach at Harbor Island via boardwalk and just a couple of miles from Hunting Island State Park. Of course, Beaufort is nearby, with its beautiful riverwalk, shops and restaurants. So much to do in this area, and the property is especially updated and clean. Also, the pool is only steps away from the back porch. I highly recommend this property.

Great accommodation

Fantastic condo, but steps to the beach was misleading. Ad states, “steps to the beach”! It was 450 yards or a quarter mile! Had to go to the state park to get to the beach!

My daughter suggested the title of the review because the beach life was amazing! Pelican Place is the perfect place to visit! Terrific location with everything you need. Great beach at Harbor Island plus the fun of bigger waves at Hunting Island thanks to the included pass. This was our second year at this condo and won’t be the last!

Amazing vacation

My wife and three young kids stayed at St. Helena Island. We had a wonderful week. The condo was clean, spacious, and every bit as advertised! The adjacent state park (park pass included at rental) was gorgeous and had a “normal” beach with waves and water at low tide. Highly recommend renting this place if you are looking at this location!!

Heaven on St Helena Island

We spent a long holiday weekend on St Helena Island for the perfect getaway. The condo was fresh, clean, beautifully appointed and delightful to stay in. Far enough from the. Roads yet close enough to Beaufort for dining out or shopping. The best part was steps away from the beach!! The security team made us feel safe and secure and we’re very pleasant.
