Escape to Harbor Island This Fall & Winter — Golf Cart Included!

  • Summary:

    A 4-seater golf cart is included with your stay!



    Escape to Harbor Island and experience one of the Lowcountry’s best-kept secrets—fall and winter at the beach. Enjoy mild coastal weather, peaceful uncrowded beaches, incredible wildlife, and gorgeous marsh sunsets from this spacious 4-bedroom home.



    Start your morning watching the sunrise from the front porch, hop on the golf cart for a quick trip to the beach, and end the day relaxing on the back porch as the sun sets over the marsh.



    Whether you’re planning a family getaway, holiday trip, remote-work escape, or an extended winter stay, this is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the South Carolina coast.

    FALL & WINTER ON HARBOR ISLAND



    The cooler months are a wonderful time to visit. The summer crowds disappear, but the beauty of the Lowcountry remains.



    Spend your days walking quiet beaches, collecting shells, exploring by golf cart, birdwatching, visiting nearby Hunting Island, or simply relaxing on the porch overlooking the marsh.



    Harbor Island is a private gated community surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, tidal marshes, and lagoons. It’s especially beautiful for nature lovers, with abundant coastal birdlife and wildlife throughout the island.

    Enjoy waterfront dining, local shops, historic homes, galleries, and Beaufort’s beautiful downtown waterfront.
