Julie’s lovely house on scenic Harbor Island was the perfect destination for a vacation with my parents, husband and two kids. The home was well maintained and comfortable, providing all we could need for our trip. We appreciated the convenient access to many beach items like towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon and sand toys — which otherwise we would have had to pack — and lots of little extras inside such as books and board games for kids and adults. The space was a perfect fit for us with a bedroom for each adult couple and a separate one with two twin beds for our kids. The location is natural with plenty to explore for those seeking some adventure on their vacation, but also very quiet and laid back for those looking simply to relax. The golf cart made it a breeze to see all Harbor Island has to offer — including two pools, sports courts, a playground, a gift shop/convenience store, and numerous beach access points — though the island is small enough that you could easily walk most places. The beach was ideal for little kids since it was relatively shallow and very calm with sandbars and wildlife. For those seeking bigger waves or deeper water, we loved the included pass to Hunting Island State Park, just a few minutes’ drive away. There are no restaurants on Harbor Island, but several good options within a short drive outside the gates. Julie was responsive and kindly checked in with us throughout the week. All in all, this was an ideal place for a family week at the beach.
