Waterfront - Secluded - Wild Horses - Pet Friendly - 30+ day discount

Welcome to Harbor Hideaway! Witness the incredible experience of Horse Island where Marsh Tacky Horses roam in the distance. Take in the magical panoramic view, as far as the eye can see, featuring sounds of the ocean water and seabirds flying overhead - all while relaxing on a charming covered back porch or swinging on a hammock.

Recently renovated and beautifully decorated, with a coastal aesthetic and comfy vibes making you feel right at home.

This three-bedroom home offers a brand new kitchen, fully equipped, with new Stainless Steel appliances, spa bathrooms, a large porch with a screened-in area and a separate deck area for grilling, as well as an open and spacious floor plan.

The living room features two sliding doors creating a glass wall allowing for views from all angles. In addition to the 55" HD TV with streaming options, the electric fireplace is a fun way to create ambiance and warmth if needed.

There's plenty of entertainment at the house if staying in. Grab a book to read, play a few board games, enjoy a game of Cornhole, watch TV in any of the rooms, enjoy a home-cooked meal at our 8-person dining table, or simply sink into the couch and take a nap.

Once the tide lowers, the wild horses can be seen grazing in the distance. Grab a set of our binoculars and watch them eat and play, a truly unforgettable scene.
**If interested in learning more information about these wild horses, look up "Tracking the wild ponies of Little Horse Island" on Youtube.**

A unique and authentic Lowcountry destination in a small, relaxed, country neighborhood. Although very private, 'Hunting Island State Park Beach' is a less than 10 minute drive away, which offers public beach access. We will provide a "Park Passport" which will allow unlimited entry for everyone in vehicle (otherwise there is a fee to enter the park).

In addition to the beach, Downtown Beaufort is roughly 20 minutes away, South Carolina's 2nd oldest city (a mini-Charleston with its own distinctive charm). Explore the history, restaurants, galleries, and shops in this quaint and charming town.

Paradise on Horse Island
I hesitate to leave a good review because selfishly I want to keep this gem of a place all to myself. If you're looking for a peaceful, comfortable, out-of-the-way spot to unwind, unplug and soak in nature - this is the place. The owners have made certain to provide all the creature comforts most people come to expect and require on vacation but have done so without interfering with the amazing natural beauty that surrounds this house. The beds and furniture are comfortable and maintained (despite being a rental and constantly used). The linens are very nice, well-made and quite clean. The bathrooms and kitchen were sparkling clean. Good water pressure and nice hot water all around. Appliances in great condition and all very clean. One week's stay is never long enough. I am already dreaming of my next visit.

Just what we needed
We just returned from a great week-long stay! With three teenagers, our dog, my wife and myself, the house and property had everything we needed. From the selection of games and puzzles and the fully stocked kitchen coupled with the huge screened in porch and the hammocks overlooking the sunrise and Marsh. Even the fire pit was positioned just right. The horses were in view a couple times each day and were a really cool addition to the already perfect view. Do yourself a favor and set an alarm for 30 minutes before the sunrise a few mornings. You won’t regret it. It was just close enough to the State Park beach and a few restaurants that the drive was easy. We visited Beaufort, Fort Fremont and Savannah, Ga. Loved our stay.

Wonderful Vacation Home!
Loved our 6 week stay here! The host is extremely helpful and goes above and beyond. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Had everything we needed to get started until we went to the store. The screened in porch has a beautiful view, including the wild horses! It's so peaceful and quiet, yet not far for restaurants, shops and site seeing. This was our first time in South Carolina and if we ever go back, we’ll be staying here!

Amazing house, views and location
We had an amazing time at Horse Island! The house was updated and clean, and you can't beat the view of the water. The screened in porch is a great hangout spot any time of day or night! The house has comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, lovely kitchen, and more. It's in quiet neighborhood with easy access to Beaufort and Hunting Island, and everything in between. The host was very easy to communicate with and replied instantly. So glad we got a chance to stay here and enjoy lowcountry!

Peaceful and Relaxing
The cottage is perfect for anyone seeking a serene, relaxing escape from the noise and fast pace of modern life. The views of the marsh are spectacular with loads of wildlife visiting the property throughout the day. The cottage has all needed modern amenities, very comfortable, well-maintained furniture and was incredibly clean. I look forward to my next trip to this very special place.

Perfect!
This was the cleanest property that I have ever rented. The hosts were wonderful and we didn’t feel like renters but more like guests. The location is great for both Hunting Island and Beaufort.

Relaxing at the coast
This rental was outstanding. The location is remote and quiet but close to anything you would want. Saw lots of wildlife too! (Thanks for binoculars since i forgot mine)
