Tara P. Aug 15, 2024 07:38:52 PM

Summary: Our family of 11 loved staying at The Starfish! There was plenty of room for everyone, beautiful view, and the island was very quiet and peaceful. The owner was quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful!

Beth T. Jul 28, 2024 06:07:20 AM

Summary: The house was gorgeous, and just what we needed with 4 adults and 4 teens. Definitely use the golf carts to get to the beach. You will not be walking to it. Never had trouble getting parking at the accesses, so it was perfect. If we ever decide to go to Harbor Island again this would be the house to get!

Summary: The house was beautiful and was well stocked with cooking supplies and cleaning supplies. We had an issue with one of the golf carts but the house owner was easy to get in touch with and very wonderful to work with!. The neighborhood is just a short drive to the State Park!

Jennifer P. Aug 7, 2023 12:00:29 PM

Summary: The house was perfect for our group of 14 for our first family vacation! The house was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for all your cooking needs. Our favorite spots were the covered porch looking onto the marsh (any time of the day) and the upstairs game room. Minimal mosquitos during our stay. The 2 golf carts made it easy to get around the island. There are 7 beach access points. Access 4 was the easiest. The beach was great as there are no waves and the pool area was very nice. The Turtles Nest is a gift shop/ small grocery/pharmacy items, at the pool. Highly recommend the meatball subs and the chicken salad sandwiches. Emily, the owner, was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. Hunting Island State Park was absolutely gorgeous! Along with house you get a free pass to enter the State park. It says up to four people but they let our van load of people in. It is only 5 min drive from the house. Harbor Island and the house was wonderful but I do have to mention that the HOA that manage the island is no joke. Do not park golf carts in areas that have no sign and if there is no parking spots to park your cart you must use another access. $ 50 fine- no warning. Also closest stores, Walmart, Food Lion are about 20 min drive. We did online food shopping prior to arrival which saved us time. We enjoyed this house and the area very much and highly recommend this house for your next family event!

Summary: This home is perfect for families with kids. Rooms are setup for kids and their buddies. 2 golf carts make it easier to access the beach and pool. Grab you coffee and watch the sunrise on back deck. Maybe the best sunrise view on entire island

Tommy R. Aug 22, 2022 11:02:14 AM

Summary: We have been visiting Harbor Island for 15 years, sometimes multiple times a season. This is by far the best house we have rented. The game room is perfect for teens, as are the 2 golf carts. Enough beds for family and friends to enjoy. House is about as far from the beach and community pool as you can be, but the views of the sunrise and Hunting Island from the back deck more than make up for that. Kitchen is about as well stocked as you would expect from your own kitchen. House was very clean and well kept. Host was great to communicate with.

Erin B. Aug 1, 2022 06:00:53 PM

Summary: This was by far the prettiest and most well equipped house we have ever rented on the island. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Lots of bikes and 2 golf carts were very helpful for our large crew. The beds were very comfortable and the pool table was fun as well. The only draw back would be the mosquitos around the house but that is to be expected staying in the marsh area. We would absolutely stay again and the host was SO kind and prompt with responses! Fabulous rental property for sure.

Summary: We loved this house! It was so spacious and clean. We rent a beach house each summer for the past ten years and of all the places we’ve stayed, this house was the cleanest! We loved the big back deck. We watched the sun set and even saw the June “Strawberry Supermoon”—it was spectacular. I wish I could post a picture here to show. The golf carts were a ton of fun to use to get to the pool and beach. My husband hit golf balls just about every day at the area in the neighborhood reserved for it. The furniture was comfortable and clean. We cooked a few nights and found everything we needed in regards to pots and pans. The kids loved the game room upstairs. Well, actually the adults loved it too :) We spent one day at Hunting State Park and it was lovely. Definitely recommend going there if you’ve never been (and it’s just down the road). The only hiccup in our visit was purchasing one too many parking passes. My brother’s family (who has 8 people) traveled 12 hours from Ohio. Due to the significant increase in the cost of gas, they packed as minimally as possible (yay for a washing machine!) so they could drive one less vehicle. We were unable to be refunded for the extra car pass ($80). This wasn’t the home owners fault. The HOA would not give the refund which is really a reflection of their association. We felt it was petty on their part. With the click of a mouse Shannon Durrance (contact person for the HOA) could have made that happen but flatly refused when I spoke with her on the phone. I understand having policies but come on, really? For future reference—You can purchase an extra car pass the day you arrive. We know because we did last summer when we stayed at a different property on the island. I brought up this point with Shannon and she said yes, that’s right. If I had known they would refuse to refund the extra pass, I would have waited to buy them on the day we arrived. It’s a nonissue if your family is all in the same vehicle. And of course we didn’t let that mishap ruin our week but won’t make the same mistake in the future if we visit Harbor Island again. If we do, we absolutely loved this home and would stay here again.

Summary: Property had a great setup and accommodations for just about anyone. Great house for 3 families. Plenty of room for sleeping and space to get away outside on balcony or front porch. Kitchen had all the necessary supplies you would need. -coffee pot or keurig (they did have some left over coffee filters, but just in case I would bring some) One recommendation would be to have hangers in the closets (we were on a family reunion so I had nowhere to hang dresses etc in one of the rooms) Room to the right (when looking at the house from the front) did not have a dresser or place to put any folded cloths either. Not a huge deal, but just a comment to consider if you rent. Wal-mart/Publix online order for pickup prior to arrival is a must, hard to get quick drinks/food without driving 20 minutes. Make sure you only park in designated areas around Harbor Island- NO PARKING on streets or sides of the road by beach or you will be fined $50. There are no signs anywhere to say no parking, we were told it was because private property and they can not put up signs?? I believe they could put up a sign that says private property, but owner would have to agree. Emily does put this in her instructions, so read all of them thoroughly. The HIOA makes a killing on unnecessary parking fines! So beware. Use the golf carts they were a very nice addition to the house rental. Beaches are nice, but coming from FL not what we are used to. We also used the bikes and beach chairs, some do need repair or are rusted which is expected with the beach air- nice addition as well-really appreciated one less thing to pack :) Overall would highly recommend this property for people to rent. Beautiful views and very nice home that is well maintained and cared for. Definitely a place to consider for a week vacation. Emily the owner was great and responsive.
