About this property

Special discounted rates for June 2024!

The Starfish is located on serene Harbor Island, SC. It has three master suites (2 on the main floor and one on the second floor), each with a private bath and king bed. The fourth bedroom consists of 2 bunk beds (that is 4 twins) and the fifth has two full beds. These two rooms share a large hall bath, perfect for bathing the little ones. The Starfish has 3300 heated square feet with 750 square feet of covered porches and sunning deck. Our home sits on the marsh with gorgeous views of the marsh, Atlantic Ocean, and Johnson's creek.

The kitchen, great room and dining are one large room. Brazilian cherry floors on the main floor and pine on the second floor. The great room and kitchen combo have ten foot exposed ceiling with beautiful custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and neutral quartz counter tops. For the coffee drinkers, there is 12 cup traditional coffee pot. The dining table has seating for 8, while the countertop bar has additional seating for 6. Four bedrooms, kitchen, great room, dining and covered deck overlooking the marsh and ocean are located on the main floor, which is convenient for parents with small children (including us!). The third guest master, game room and sunning deck are located on the second floor. The game room consists of a full-size slate pool table, foosball table, bistro table and wet bar, complete with mini-fridge, small sink, and 55 inch TV. The children tend to hang out here, complete with sofa and chairs. The view is spectacular!

Two golf carts are included in the rental. The beach, swimming pool with kiddie pool, playground, tennis and basketball courts, cardio room, and weight room are all just a fun five minutes away on the golf cart (approximately 9/10 of a mile). Golf carts are provided for your convenience. But, we have no control over maintenance issues that occur from time to time. They are serviced prior to rental season. But, should something go wrong with the golf carts during your stay, we are unable to provide refunds or discounts, but will attempt to get them repaired as soon as possible, hopefully during your stay!

Beautiful House and great owner to work with!
The house was beautiful and was well stocked with cooking supplies and cleaning supplies. We had an issue with one of the golf carts but the house owner was easy to get in touch with and very wonderful to work with!. The neighborhood is just a short drive to the State Park!

Relaxing and wonderful!
The house was perfect for our group of 14 for our first family vacation! The house was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for all your cooking needs. Our favorite spots were the covered porch looking onto the marsh (any time of the day) and the upstairs game room. Minimal mosquitos during our stay. The 2 golf carts made it easy to get around the island. There are 7 beach access points. Access 4 was the easiest. The beach was great as there are no waves and the pool area was very nice. The Turtles Nest is a gift shop/ small grocery/pharmacy items, at the pool. Highly recommend the meatball subs and the chicken salad sandwiches. Emily, the owner, was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. Hunting Island State Park was absolutely gorgeous! Along with house you get a free pass to enter the State park. It says up to four people but they let our van load of people in. It is only 5 min drive from the house. Harbor Island and the house was wonderful but I do have to mention that the HOA that manage the island is no joke. Do not park golf carts in areas that have no sign and if there is no parking spots to park your cart you must use another access. $ 50 fine- no warning. Also closest stores, Walmart, Food Lion are about 20 min drive. We did online food shopping prior to arrival which saved us time. We enjoyed this house and the area very much and highly recommend this house for your next family event!

Wonderful host and home
This home is perfect for families with kids. Rooms are setup for kids and their buddies. 2 golf carts make it easier to access the beach and pool. Grab you coffee and watch the sunrise on back deck. Maybe the best sunrise view on entire island

Great house
We have been visiting Harbor Island for 15 years, sometimes multiple times a season. This is by far the best house we have rented. The game room is perfect for teens, as are the 2 golf carts. Enough beds for family and friends to enjoy. House is about as far from the beach and community pool as you can be, but the views of the sunrise and Hunting Island from the back deck more than make up for that. Kitchen is about as well stocked as you would expect from your own kitchen. House was very clean and well kept. Host was great to communicate with.

Fabulous house!
This was by far the prettiest and most well equipped house we have ever rented on the island. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Lots of bikes and 2 golf carts were very helpful for our large crew. The beds were very comfortable and the pool table was fun as well. The only draw back would be the mosquitos around the house but that is to be expected staying in the marsh area. We would absolutely stay again and the host was SO kind and prompt with responses! Fabulous rental property for sure.

Our family fell in love with Harbor Island several years ago when we decided to buy a condo on the island. At that time, we had two daughters. We now have three and we’re thrilled to own this spacious, beautiful home on this special island! And we are proud to share it for other families to make memories too!
