Lovely condo in a beautiful gated community. Short walk on boardwalk to beach over bird filled marsh. Two miles away from the stunning Hunting Island. Pass included. Twenty minutes to Beaufort. A great place to get away!

Absolutely love Harbor Island. One of my greatest joys to be there. It was a great location. The owner was very easy to work with. Could have been cleaner and we struggled a bit with the oven because it burnt every single thing we cooked because we cook a lot on vacation. But otherwise it was fabulous thank you so much.
