Charming Dog Friendly Villa on Harbor Island steps from the boardwalk!

This charming 1-bedroom, 1.5 bath condo located on Harbor Island can accommodate 4 guests, making it perfect for a couple’s beach getaway.

Tastefully adorned in calming beach inspired colors and décor, the condo boasts a spacious living room, which includes a plush pullout sofa that sleeps 2, loveseat, and a smart TV with cable.

Access to the screened-in porch with outdoor dining furniture is just off the living room. The porch is the ideal spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, while taking in the spectacular palm tree views, and the ocean beyond them.

Enjoy cooking meals in the well-equipped galley kitchen and dine together at the two-seat table just off the kitchen, or on the screened-in porch.

The king-sized bedroom comes replete with a smart TV, an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and a window that looks out onto impressive views.

One dog no larger than 50 lbs. is permitted for an additional $100.

The condo also has a half-bath. Guests have access to the communal laundry room near the condo entrance.

*Please be advised that there is a flight of steps on the ground floor with access to the first floor.

As a guest of Beach House Villas, you’ll enjoy access to an in-ground swimming pool, BBQ grill, fitness center and tennis court, offering plenty of entertainment in addition to the natural playground of Harbor Island. Between bird-watching, dolphin sightings, and calming walks along the beach, you’ll leave feeling relaxed, revived and rejuvenated.

*Please be advised that all guests are required to have a car pass in order to access the island. Island car pass pricing is set by the HOA. Passes are $25 for the first night, then $10 each night thereafter for stays less than 8 nights. Stays 8-30 nights, car pass is a flat rate of $140. Price is per vehicle.

Guests also have access to a Hunting Island Park pass.

Please note that beach towels are not provided. Please bring your own!

Please be courteous of tide charts for Harbor Island. On our island, high tide can swell to an average of 7-9 feet. At low tide, you may find that you will walk out about 100 yards to get to the ocean. Due to the shallow grade of our beach, we are a great spot for little ones with only small waves.

This home is located in the Southeast coastal region. Insects are very common in this humid area (to include mosquitos, noseeums, wasps/ bees, palmetto bugs, ants, etc). While we do take all preventative measures to keep these bugs out with regularly scheduled pest control, there is always the possibility that one may sneak through an opening if an opportunity presents itself. Please try to keep doors shut to help keep any possible insects out.

great time relaxing--
The only issue we had was having to keep the temp in the condo at 72 degrees. it was a little warm and the temps outside were only in the 80s. So that was the only issue. we loved it otherwise!

Guess we needed to do our homework.
The condo was as pictured. The "beach" is on the sound and the water goes out really far during low tide which is nice for small children. If you want to see the Atlantic you need to drive to the state park a few miles away. Our main concern was little black flys that kept biting us in the condo and we couldn't use the screened in small porch because there was a small tear in the screen and they were all over in there. It was VERY difficult to open the patio door to the porch. We did notify the owner about the bugs being inside, even though they claim we didn't. I have a copy of the message clearly saying they are in the condo. We bought bug spray and put all food scraps in zip lock bags before putting it in the trash. We booked the condo for 2 weeks but left after one because of the flies. Initially the owner said he would reimburse us for the second week but then changed his mind. Yes, we chose to leave but it really would have been nice to get some money returned. The owners were very helpful in every other aspect and the condo was clean.

Perfect little getaway
Everything was as described in the ad, we enjoyed the fact that we were away from everything, but had all we needed close by. Couldn’t ask for a better weekend getaway, next time we’ll book for the week, we weren’t able to do everything we wanted to for the lack of time.

What a great condo! Clean, updated, great floor plan and LOCATION! Just steps from the board walk to the beach and can see the water from the screened porch. Steps from two pools. Comfy furniture and bed. Kitchen well stocks with utensils. Manager/owner SUPER responsive--very fast and supplied such great info with little prompting. Really great stay! Highly recommend this condo.

Mother/Daughter Getaway
This is a wonderful condo! It is organized, extremely well appointed, clean, and tastefully decorated. The view is private and beautiful. The access to the beach, and pool, is easy and close. The wonderful ability to have our dog with us is such a priceless plus! (Waste can is across the road near the “green”). I would definitely book again. The only cons I can state: The fridge is antiquated. I live nearby and I brought chilled groceries and it still couldn’t keep up (I would suggest-eat out only). The pull out couch is not very comfortable, it’s a memory foam that needs time to “inflate”, marking it hard to put away and pull out every day in order to have the living space. BUT, the firm second couch, is comfortable and easily accommodated one, if you are not very tall. (I’ll stretch out now that I’m home- 6’9”). Honestly, this could become a home away from home if the fridge could handle my home cooking. Definitely keep this on your list!

This place is fabulous!!!!
Everything about this place was more than I could have ever expected! It was beautifully decorated, clean, well stocked with every possible kitchen gadget and appliance you could possibly need, and the beach is right is a short walk from condo to beach. Swimming pool is also right outside of unit, and parking was amazing as well. We backed into the spot and walked right into paradise! All right there for us to enjoy! I will be back! Oh, and the host are super, and available at all times, although I didn’t need a thing. Just a big “Thank You” to Kyle, our super host!

This was the perfect spot for our small family beach get away! The condo was the perfect mixture of clean, tidy, and comfortable. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog as well! Great view of the beach from the porch and only steps away from the boardwalk to get to the beach. This was our first time to Harbor Island and we will definitely be back!

Perfect Beach Condo for a Couple
We have made many visits to Harbor Island and this is our 2nd stay in this particular condo. We sought it out again because it is beautifully decorated, very clean & organized and has a wonderful view of the ocean from the screened porch and living room. The king size bed is incredibly comfortable and the linens/towels are very nice quality. If it's just the two of us, this is the only condo on Harbor Island we want to stay.

Perfect!
The property was exactly as advertised. It was clean and stocked with all the essentials we needed to make our stay feel like home. The location was amazing. Such a short walk to the beach! The grounds of the island were clean and well-maintained. Best vacation I’ve had in a long time. I had a slight problem with the digital key (totally user confusion) and Kyle responded immediately. I highly recommend this rental.

Best Harbor Island Condo Yet
This is our 3rd stay at Harbor Island and this condo was hands-down our favorite. The furnishings are beautiful, it's decorated tastefully with a fresh, coastal look, the kitchen is updated and bright, the bed is wonderfully comfortable... I could go on and on. We felt like we were guests at a friend's property. You know when you look in the drawers and cabinets and find mismatched silverware, glasses, dishes, old pots and worn out items and feel like the owners furnished the unit with random things they no longer wanted at home? Well you won't get that here! Everything is a set and it's new and organized. Not even a crumb in the silverware tray. Even the outdoor furniture on the screened porch was spotless. Thank you to the owners and property manager for making us feel so comfortable and welcome. We can't wait to come back!
