Harbor Island offers activities for the whole family. You can swim in the uncrowded pool or ocean, play tennis, pickleball, baseketball or sand volleyball at the club house.

Try your hand at crabbing from the dock located a few hundred yards from the house.  Once you book, you'll get access to our home website giving you fishing tips, our favorite restaurants and other island tips to feel like a local.
Take a nature walk and watch the seabirds on the beach or see hundreds of nesting egrets and herons, as a lonely alligator lies silently in a green lagoon at the overlook.  Sit and relax on one of the four decks and take in the nearly constant island breeze.

 

The pool complex includes many shaded areas, views of St. Helena Sound, a snack bar, a seperate pool for the kids and bathrooms.  Your stay also includes access to the fitness facility and all other island amenities.

Many guests enjoy day trips to nearby Beaufort (15 miles) for boutique shopping, gallery hopping, and delicious food. Treat yourself to a carriage ride through the historic district where stately southern homes share space with grand old live oaks dripping Spanish moss from their limbs.  Several restaurants including Johnson Creek Tavern, Another Slice, and Boujee Bowls are located just outside the front gate, 2 minutes from the house.  Use the Gays Seafood cooler-bag to enjoy 10% off local shrimp and other fresh fish...their dock and market is 5 minutes from the house.
If you like golf, you can play at one of the many beautiful courses in the surrounding area. The beauty of the Lowcountry has been the backdrop for many movies including The Big Chill, The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, and Forest Gump. If you are looking for glitz and glamor, large crowds and noise, traffic jams, and crowded beaches, Harbor Island is not for you. If you are looking for a quiet unspoiled beach to enjoy a family vacation or a romantic get-away, please join us at our beautiful beachfront retreat.
