The house was great for our 3 family spring break trip! There was plenty of space for everyone and the golf carts were a HUGE hit! You cannot beat sitting on the deck and looking out at the water. We were thankful we brought bikes so the kids could ride around the neighborhood and explore. Emily was an amazing host and we all wish we were back there right now!

Totally enjoyed our stay at the Starfish! Emily was the most courteous host I've ever dealt with! The house was all we had hoped for and more. The annual pass to Hunting Island was also an unexpected plus! We had six adults and 5 children in our group and never once did we feel cramped. Enough space for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend the Starfish!

The house was gorgeous, and just what we needed with 4 adults and 4 teens. Definitely use the golf carts to get to the beach. You will not be walking to it. Never had trouble getting parking at the accesses, so it was perfect. If we ever decide to go to Harbor Island again this would be the house to get!

Neighbors vacation
Our neighbor's children play golf and had a tournament in the area. The house was the perfect size to fit us all. It was clean, well stocked with dishes, crock pots ( if needed), washer and dryer. The golf carts were great fun and convenient. I really prefer to stay on the ocean, but the marsh was a lovely change. We loved hearing the puff mudd made by the shrimp. The back porch was my favorite place to sit and read. The hunting island pass was great to use. Overall we loved it! I didn't like that at low tide there was no water, but the kids loved finding all the sea creatures and walking the sandbar. The beach was clean, sandy and not crowded.

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.

Great Vacation Spot
We had a great time on our vacation. The house is amazing. Enough room for all 10 of us. The back porch view of the marsh and ocean was great. House had everything we needed including two golf carts, bikes and beach chairs. The community pool was clean as were the tennis courts. Beach access in the community was easy and the beach was not crowded. Hunting State Park has great beaches as well (Park pass was provided and only a 5 min drive). Local restaurants were good. We recommend the Foolish Frog (good seafood and atmosphere) and Beedos (best burgers ever).
Overall..... and excellent vacation spot.

Fantastic
We were in town to pick up my son after graduation of boot camp to the USMC (some shameless pride) and we had 8 people. The house had plenty room for all us including bathrooms. Everything was clean and the decor was on point. Unfortunately because of hurricane Michael the weather wasn’t cooperating so we didn’t get to use the pool.
The owner is very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.

This home was exactly what we needed for the perfect family getaway!
The Sailfish was wonderfully located, and the scene from the back of the house was beautiful looking across to Hunting Island on one side with the Marsh in the foreground and the ocean beyond that. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal for a crowd. The bedrooms were spacious, and the entire house was well designed and lovely. Our family truly appreciated the abundance of items that made our stay so nice ( the 2 golf carts, the 7 or was it 8 ? bikes, the pool table, the foos ball table, the beach chairs, etc.). Harbor Island is a lovely place and the residents we met were very friendly and welcoming. We give it a huge thumbs up and hope to return in the future.

Owners have thought of EVERYTHING you might need. The grandchildren enjoyed the pool and bikes. Adults enjoyed kayaks in the sound as dolphins played around them. Beautiful views from the deck as we enjoyed evening meals. Highly recommend the Sailfish for family fun!

Beautiful home overlooking the marsh
We had a large group stay this summer at this home and we fell in love. The home is beautiful and has anything that you could ask for. The kitchen is fully stocked just like your kitchen at home. We loved having the 2 crock pots to use to just set and go. We also loved the deck overlooking the marsh which is where we spent most of our time talking and carrying on. The kids love the bunk beds and the pool table upstairs. The 2 golf carts is a huge plus in that no one is ever left behind. I can't say enough great things about this home and the island. We had one of the best vacations of our lives this year. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a great home near local fishing, crabbing, Beaufort and don't forget the beach. Loved it!

Great house, not so great beach!
The house is beautiful with everything you need. Only two complaints: the master bedroom off the kitchen has a bed that is hard as a rock so no one would use that room, although it had a huge bathroom. The game room/ bedroom upstairs is very nice, except the bathroom was very small and TVs were very fuzzy. Maybe they should switch beds!
We loved having two golf carts, enjoyed the pool, but did not love the beach. It was very muddy like quicksand, and one of the locals told us it was "marsh mud." Some of the beach accesses said no parking, so there was basically only one decent part of the beach without mud but the access was a very long walk with a toddler and chairs.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and the kind comments on the house. Yes, the master on the main floor has a firm mattress, the guest master on the main floor has a pillow top and the master upstairs has a thick pillow top. We were not aware of fuzzy TVs and this will be addressed. Many thanks for letting us know.
Harbor Island is bordered by the Harbor River on the north end of the island, and yes it is muddy at low tide. This end of the island is also very peaceful, beautiful sunsets and great fishing. I love the diversity of Harbor's beach. The boardwalks on the south end of the island are longer than the river side and there are four beach access areas with parking. You have two beach access areas on the south end, Beach Access 1 and you can also park at the BRC, walk across the street, boardwalk leading to the beach. There are two beach access areas with parking in the middle of the island and the last beach access area with parking is located on the north side of Harbor. So glad you enjoyed the pool and the two golf carts. Thank you, Laura

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!

Lovely and large home!
This house is really beautiful- furnishings are nice, beds are comfortable, kitchen is big, and the view is pretty. The bedrooms and bathrooms (except for bath on top floor) are really big- the pics don’t do it justice and so nice to have 3 kings plus the other “kids rooms”- so much space! Golf carts are great as it is a ride to pool and beach. There was all you need of kitchen stuff, plenty of kids toys, a few books, and a great upstairs game room- perfect for our 4 kids.
Emily was great- very responsive, friendly, and helpful! I talked to her before the trip as well as a few times via text at check in and check out. It’s so nice to hear back from a VRBO host so quickly!
Two tips for this house: 1)bring LOTS of bug spray- this house is on the marsh and mosquitos have staked claim of this whole section of the island. 2) bring your own beach towels (and if you like larger bath towels bring those too- the ones there are very small).
Tips for the island- the 9-11am and 4-7pm are great time for beach time for littler kids. Bring a tent. Beach is best (reasonable distance between sand and ocean even at low tide) between beach access 2 and 4. If you want more expansive sand- go closer to beach access 1. If you want fishing, go to very end of island- I think it’s past beach access 7- small beach where river and ocean meet- not a great place for little kids who want to play in the water bc of the current. Pool is more crowded in the afternoon so try the morning if you prefer less people. There are no umbrellas at pool and not a ton of shade and they don’t really want you bringing umbrellas or tents there, so if you like sun bathing, this is your spot!
All in all, Harbor is a nice family friendly place and this house is really lovely!

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.

Sweet Summertime in SC
We loved this house! It was so spacious and clean. We rent a beach house each summer for the past ten years and of all the places we’ve stayed, this house was the cleanest! We loved the big back deck. We watched the sun set and even saw the June “Strawberry Supermoon”—it was spectacular. I wish I could post a picture here to show. The golf carts were a ton of fun to use to get to the pool and beach. My husband hit golf balls just about every day at the area in the neighborhood reserved for it. The furniture was comfortable and clean. We cooked a few nights and found everything we needed in regards to pots and pans. The kids loved the game room upstairs. Well, actually the adults loved it too :) We spent one day at Hunting State Park and it was lovely. Definitely recommend going there if you’ve never been (and it’s just down the road).
The only hiccup in our visit was purchasing one too many parking passes. My brother’s family (who has 8 people) traveled 12 hours from Ohio. Due to the significant increase in the cost of gas, they packed as minimally as possible (yay for a washing machine!) so they could drive one less vehicle. We were unable to be refunded for the extra car pass ($80). This wasn’t the home owners fault. The HOA would not give the refund which is really a reflection of their association. We felt it was petty on their part. With the click of a mouse Shannon Durrance (contact person for the HOA) could have made that happen but flatly refused when I spoke with her on the phone. I understand having policies but come on, really? For future reference—You can purchase an extra car pass the day you arrive. We know because we did last summer when we stayed at a different property on the island. I brought up this point with Shannon and she said yes, that’s right. If I had known they would refuse to refund the extra pass, I would have waited to buy them on the day we arrived. It’s a nonissue if your family is all in the same vehicle. And of course we didn’t let that mishap ruin our week but won’t make the same mistake in the future if we visit Harbor Island again. If we do, we absolutely loved this home and would stay here again.

Great for families-beautiful views
Property had a great setup and accommodations for just about anyone. Great house for 3 families. Plenty of room for sleeping and space to get away outside on balcony or front porch. Kitchen had all the necessary supplies you would need. -coffee pot or keurig (they did have some left over coffee filters, but just in case I would bring some) One recommendation would be to have hangers in the closets (we were on a family reunion so I had nowhere to hang dresses etc in one of the rooms) Room to the right (when looking at the house from the front) did not have a dresser or place to put any folded cloths either. Not a huge deal, but just a comment to consider if you rent. Wal-mart/Publix online order for pickup prior to arrival is a must, hard to get quick drinks/food without driving 20 minutes. Make sure you only park in designated areas around Harbor Island- NO PARKING on streets or sides of the road by beach or you will be fined $50. There are no signs anywhere to say no parking, we were told it was because private property and they can not put up signs?? I believe they could put up a sign that says private property, but owner would have to agree. Emily does put this in her instructions, so read all of them thoroughly. The HIOA makes a killing on unnecessary parking fines! So beware. Use the golf carts they were a very nice addition to the house rental. Beaches are nice, but coming from FL not what we are used to. We also used the bikes and beach chairs, some do need repair or are rusted which is expected with the beach air- nice addition as well-really appreciated one less thing to pack :) Overall would highly recommend this property for people to rent. Beautiful views and very nice home that is well maintained and cared for. Definitely a place to consider for a week vacation. Emily the owner was great and responsive.

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Emily
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!
