If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-cared-for home near the beach where you can truly relax, this Harbor Island retreat is for you. Located in the quiet, lush section of the island, we offer peaceful privacy with easy access to the beach, pool, and fitness center just a short golf cart ride away.

Located in the quiet, lush section of private Harbor Island, this bright and thoughtfully maintained 4-bedroom home offers a comfortable, easy place for up to 8 guests to gather and relax. Just a short complimentary golf cart ride to beach access, the pool, and fitness center, the home provides peaceful privacy while keeping everything within easy reach.
The open living area with vaulted ceilings is designed for time together — whether that’s watching a movie, playing games, or simply unwinding after a beach day. Natural light, comfortable seating, and a relaxed coastal style create a space that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in.
Two screened porches offer calm spots for morning coffee or evening conversations, complete with ceiling fans and marsh breezes. After time at the beach or pool, rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy dinner at home with the gas grill.
The kitchen is well-stocked with stainless steel appliances, cookware, and the essentials needed for easy meals. Dine together at the main table with additional seating at the breakfast bar.

Great rental on Harbor Island! This home was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It had everything we needed and more. It was a very relaxing stay in a quiet, peaceful area. The host was attentive and easy to communicate with, which made the experience seamless. We will definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay on Harbor Island, and Michelle's place was fantastic. We really loved the decor, the quality of the appliances and the finishes. My wife really loved the screened and covered porches. The back porch was her favorite as it offered a great place to eat lunch and dinner without any bothersome bugs. The golf cart was great for exploring the island. There are two ponds on the island that have viewing areas where you can see the resident alligators, and our kids loved cruising up there on the golf cart multiple times a day to check them out. The park pass was also much appreciated as we went to Hunting Island State Park almost every day of our stay. The boneyard at the south end of Hunting Island is a great place to explore at low tide with a good chance of finding sea stars and sand dollars. The neighborhood was super quiet, and the vibe of the island was perfect for us. We hope to return again in the future.
We loved everything about this house and the neighborhood. Our family agreed that it was truly one of the best vacations we have ever had. It was quiet…the neighborhood is definitely quiet with not many people stirring which was nice. A true break from the busy-ness of life. And the scenery is beautiful! The home was very clean…beds super comfy and decorated gorgeous! We will be back!!
