My family and I spent a wonderful week at this perfectly finished and supplied house. Every space was used...4 cooks could work in the kitchen and the table was perfect for our family of 7. Dad stayed on the screened in porch with his Garrison Keeler books, laughing so loud you could hear him on the beach. Mom on the deck sunning and reading by 9 am. We lined up 6 or so chairs every morning on the beach and moved forward and back with the tides. Kyle and Zach manned the surround sound, grill, and keept ice in the cooler for cold beverages. We kept a steady eye on the dolphin shows and when the code word was yelled through the house everyone ran to the deck to take turns viewing the show through binoculars. The girls took the upstairs and it was like we had our own little pj party. We ventured out for the specialty foods of the islands, fresh shrimp and gullah fixins'. I learned a coveted shrimp dip receipe from a local...she was in her 70'S and her eyes lit up when she explained the different versions of shrimp dip she had made and tasted over the years in the low country...all said, we wouldn't have changed a thing!

| My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week at this house. The house is comfy, cozy and located in the perfect area. The beach is very inviting, Hunting State park is 5 min away, Savannah 45 min. There is something for everybody in the family. The weather was perfect, the house inviting. The owners are lovely people. I would tell anyone looking for a family vacation to consider renting this house. |

What a wonderful experience! A gorgeous ocean front piece of property, luxurious amenities, breathtaking sunrises, and even dolphins! My family and I enjoyed a week of relaxation at the Andrew’s lovely beach property. The beach is amazing and there is even a pool for those less interested in salt water. We would definitely recommend this to others and are now huge fans of VRBO home rentals for other vacations in the future. Next time we are in South Carolina, this Harbor Island home will be our get-a-way of choice! I would certainly recommend this choice to you if you find yourself looking for a relaxing get-a-way with a family of young or older children alike. There is something for everyone! You will not be disappointed!!
Best Wishes

Thank you so much for the opportunity to spend a week at your beautiful beachfront home. Our family had one of our best getaways yet. Our kids range in age from high school to preschool and EVERY one of them wanted to stay longer. The beach is so perfectly clean and private we felt like the ocean was our own front yard. The water is great swimming by day and full of really interesting marine life to watch on the beach at night. The daily dolphin show was amazing for the kids to see. When it was low tide, we would head down the street to the neighborhood rec center for an outdoor swim. Your location provided just the right mix of ocean and pool for everyone's liking. Your home is a beautifully appointed, comfortable place to unwind. What a treat to find it so clean and welcoming.
Thanks again....we can't say enough about our stay. We hope to come back again and again over the years. |

| My family has been visiting this house for 6 years now. Obviously, we love it! If you're looking for a place that is fully equipped (only need to bring your swim suit and shorts)this is it. Great house, great views, great private beach! |

| My family had the most amazing vacation at this beautiful home! We are making this an annual event! The home is fabulous with a fantastic view, the beach is beautiful, the sunsets are breath-taking, and the dolphins are a sight to see. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the best family vacation we've ever had! |

| My boyfriend and I invited another couple to join us for a holiday at your home. It was absolutely beautiful. The house is so pretty and inviting. The beach is smooth and clean. At night it felt like we could touch the stars. To make it even more wonderful - my boyfriend proposed to me under those stars! We hope to return soon, maybe for our honeymoon in September, 2009. I understand you will be doing some remodeling and we are looking forward to that too! Thanks for the best holiday ever!! Sincerely, Sharon and Ron |

| My husband and I just returned from a wonderfully relaxing week. Starting each and every morning watching the porpoises and varieties of birds was a welcoming sight. The starlit sky was amazing. The long walks on the beach, the seafood and shops. Visit Hunting Island Beach. Another great beach area or stop in at Oyster Cay. A unique furniture shop using recycled woods. Beautiful pieces. Be sure to check out Red Piano Too. Right off Hwy 21. If you enjoy wine, the Lowcountry Winery is worth a stop. Located at 705 Bay Street. Historic Downtown Beaufort. These suggestions, as well as other points of interest, are with-in a short driving distance. Johnsons's Creek Tavern & Blackstone's are a few places we ate, and would visit again. No matter what your day entails, a lovely and comfortable home awaits you. |

| My friends and I had the opportunity to stay at your lovely beach house in October, 2008. Although the first day the weather was cold and damp, the house was warm and welcoming. Fortunately for us, the weather changed and we had the opportunity to do some fishing, collect sea shells, and do lots of walking on the beautiful beach. It was an absolute delight to wake up in the morning, put on a pot of coffee and sit and watch the boats trolling for fish, the dolphins leaping from the water and the tide coming in. I cannot thank you enough for the comfortable home, the view, and dinner in your lovely dining room. It is our hope to return this same time next year, perhaps a few days earlier and stay a few days longer. Looking forward to cooking in your new kitchen! |

| My family and I spent 10 terrrific days in this great home. We were there after Labor Day and had the entire beach to ourselves! We played frisbee and softball on the beach and also spent lots of time walking, exploring and building sand castles. We were amazed by the huge horseshoe crabs that were in the surf. While it was wonderful to sit on the patio and watch the dolphin play "in the backyard", there was also lots to do in the immediate area. The clubhouse pool and playground were big hits with our four year old as there were always friends to play with there! We visited Hunting Island Park which is a 5 minute drive away and went hiking and also climbed to the top of the lighthouse. Beaufort was a quaint little town and a great place to go for breakfast (we highly recomment Blackstone's) or for an ice cream cone! It was a great family get-away! |

Angelia and Craig have a wonderfully attractive and comfortable home. The ladies in my family were especially pleased with all the pots,pans, dinnerware,etc needed to do the meals and all the drawers, cupboards,etc, are marked so a person can easily find everything they need. There is this added attention to details throughout the home. We also liked the touch of being in a home where you know the owner with the pictures of Angelia and Craig, and family/friends, throughout the home. The crabbing was wonderful-caught 20 in less than one hour, plus some shrimp and fish! We were so impressed with the home that we have cancelled another reservation for 2005 in order to stay in Beach Paradise again-it is Paradise. Thanks.

| Absolutely beautiful! This isn't your ordinary beach rental - it's superlative in all respects. We loved the private locale, the daily dolphin migrations, and the convenience to Beaufort and several local dining options. Words and pictures aren't enough to do this place justice - experience it for yourselves and you'll understand all of the rave reviews. |

| The pictures do not do this house justice. It is well kept, clean, and has all the ameneties. The location on Harbor Island is perfect. Our group consisted of three families w/ young children and the house was very accommodating for all families. The beach area also was clean and inviting. We all had a great time and would come back again. |

FANTASTIC!! Even this early in the year, this location was sunny and wonderful! We enjoyed the house immensely. We also visited the Marine Corps Base at Parris Island, Harbor Town on Hilton Head Island, Johnson Creek Tavern, Steamer Restaurant, and Dockside Restaurant in Port Royale (twice--excellent!). My husband and son also enjoyed shooting at the pistol range in Beaufort, working out at the Harbor Island Beach Club and we all loved walking along the beach!! Angelia and Craig have the perfect house for anyone looking for fun, good food, fishing or simply soaking up the quiet relaxation of a totally private oceanfront location!!
Thanks for everything!!

| This is a wonderful home with prime beach access and all the amenities one could want. Like others, we enjoyed watching the dolphin and shrimp boats, but also appreciated the warm water and gentle tides for relaxing and playing in the water. With a group from ages 9 months to 58 years, there was plenty for everyone to do and enjoy. We loved our ecologially and biologically diverse kayaking trips around Harbor Island and across to Otter Island, plus shorter paddles to the shoals about a mile out where we lounged in the sun, found sand dollars and played in tide pools. During our week we saw dolphin, gators, starfish, sand dollars, sea turtles, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, small sharks, plenty of fish, all sorts of birds and more -- most of it within 200 yards of the home. I'd recommend Harbor Isalnd, and this comfortable and welcoming home in particular, to anyone who appreciates beach living at its finest. |

5-2003: What a great vacation experience! Our family has stayed on Harbor Island for years and rented many different homes. Your home is not only beautiful, equipped with every amenity one could ever want, and right on the beach; but, it is in a location on the beach that offers solitude and natural beauty. The views from your deck are as fantastic as they are expansive. We enjoyed watching the sunset from that vantage point every evening overlooking the sound. The only bad aspect of the stay was having to leave at the end of the week. Thanks for everything!.

Rented this beautiful home for 5 weeks and could not find anything lacking in both home or surroundings. This is unlike any rental home that is available as it abounds with personal touches and ammenities. Great beach!! Super nice people!! Wonderful food!! Super golf!! Amazing wildlife!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we have purchased our own vacation home in the area. You will not regret anything if you rent this warm and inviting property.

| Truly a beachfront paradise with all the comforts of home! Beautiful and clean, nestled in a quiet community. Stocked with absolutely everything, including gourmet kitchen ideal for preparing the wonderful local seafood. Deck is perfect for sunning and stargazing. Enjoyed fishing, crabbing, nature walks and shopping in genteel Beaufort. Kids loved the loft suite and stepping out the door to the beach. What a special treat! |

We enjoyed our stay in spite of the rain. This home has a great ocean view!
It is well maintained and has all the ammenities required. We especially enjoyed the comfort of the Master bedroom, most vacation homes don't emphasize comfort.
There is great fishing at the inlets and also at the canal at Hunting Island.
It was very serene and we enjoyed our stay very much.
Thanks for being great hosts! |

| Your home was the perfect get away for a 'girls' weekend. Very private beach and lots of room for relaxing inside and out. Beaufort offers so much in shopping and dining. Seeing the dolphins following the shrimp boats every morning was amazing! I look forward to returning. |

| We love this beach house! It's an easy drive from Atlanta and is very convenient to both Savannah and Charleston. Beaufort is a great town for shopping, eating and history! If you are interested at all in the antebellum south, this is a place to visit. The house itself is beautifully decorated, has great access to the beach and is very quiet. We look forward to returning. |
