Sea Islands, South Carolina

Harbor Haven on Harbor Island

Sunny, oceanview home with an elevator and easy beach access

Perched on a small strip of sugary white sand that stretches out into the Atlantic Ocean, Harbor Haven is uniquely positioned to take full advantage of the sun, sea, and surf of tranquil Harbor Island. Nestled amongst other brightly colored neighborhood homes, this sunny yellow oasis is freshly renovated and updated throughout. There’s even a convenient elevator to assist with access to all floors. With three bedrooms and sleeping space for 8 people, Harbor Haven is the ideal spot for you and your family to soak up some much needed Vitamin Sea.

The lovely main floor living and dining area are wide open, allowing for the natural South Carolina sunshine to flood the space. A tasteful, neutral color palette enhances the views of the swaying palm trees and the ocean beyond. The spacious kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinets, gleaming stainless steel appliances, and a large granite-topped island with an industrial vent hood and bar seating for four. A farmhouse-style dining table has seating for six more. Spend some quiet time here in the mornings sipping cups of fresh coffee as the sun rises over the ocean.

This home sleeps eight people across three bedrooms.

Primary Suite- Main Floor
A king-sized bed faces french doors that lead out to the sun-drenched main deck. The primary suite also has a large walk-in closet with a sliding barn door and hidden, wall-mounted flatscreen television. The private en suite bathroom has dual sinks and a spa-like, glass-enclosed shower with multiple showerheads.

Second Bedroom- Main Floor
This charming room features a bunk bed with a queen-sized bed below, a twin-sized bed on top, and a twin-sized trundle bed. This room also has a small writing desk and a convenient en suite bathroom with a shower/bath combo.

Third Bedroom- Main Floor
Here you’ll find a queen-sized bed and a bathroom with a walk-in shower that can be accessed via a pocket door.

Head outside through the glass doors to the sun-soaked deck off of the living area. Swing a beach towel over your shoulder, slip on your flip flops, and make your way to the convenient beach access point across the street. From here, you’ll have access to three miles of pristine sandy coastline to explore. Relax on the beach and soak up the sun, play in the gentle surf as dolphins swim past, watch the pelicans dive for their dinner, build sandcastles, and search for seashells. A peaceful canal in your backyard provides additional water views from nearly every window in the home. And after a long day at the beach, rinse off sandy toes and salty skin in the outdoor shower before heading inside. At Harbor Haven, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable holiday by the sea.

Staying on Harbor Island includes access to the pools, fitness center, tennis courts, and basketball court. Harbor Island is a secured island that does require all guests to have a car pass to access the island. Guest must provide car pass total before their arrival. Parking is available for up to 3 vehicles max.

The house was amazing and well suited for families with kids. The kitchen and living room area was fantastic and felt recently updated and new. The house is directly across the street from beach access 3 with a very short boardwalk (with no stairs) to the beach! We all really enjoyed our stay.

This place is fantastic. The home is lovely and its location for beach access was perfect. The responsiveness and communication of Natural Retreats staff was wonderful. This is by far one of the nicest beachside rentals that we have had.

We have been staying at Harbor Island since 2016, and this was by far the best house we have stayed in. The house has been remodeled (I assume since Hurricane Matthew), and they have done a great job of opening up the living space. Kitchen is huge with loads of counter space and storage. Also, there is an abundance of pots, pans, and cooking utensils that all are newer and good-quality (instead of heavily-used, cheap stuff from the 90’s). Bathrooms are nicely remodeled and clean. Beds were comfortable (which is super important to us). The elevator made unloading and loading so much easier. And even though the house is not technically beachfront, it is actually closer to the beach than some of the “beachfront” houses with the incredibly long boardwalks. We also loved sitting on the huge deck and watching all the different birds (and one huge alligator who was trying to get to the birds) right beside the house. We really have nothing negative to say about this property. We loved it so much the we booked it for the same time next year while we were still on vacation because we wanted to make sure to stay here again!

The house is literally steps away from the beach access. I have had longer walks from beachfront hotels to get to the beach. Everything was extremely clean upon arrival and the space is just as nice, if not nicer than the photos in the listing. The only downside was that my wife took photos of the master bath and has it in her mind that we need our bathroom to look like this one. Overall, i would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Natural Retreats! The entire process was professional with exceptional customer service and excellent communication from the first booking until our exit. We've rented through VRBO and many other rental agencies and can attest to the high quality of service provided by NR. Thanks for a great trip experience!
