Beautiful house and view
We stayed at the Harbor Hideaway in December and thoroughly enjoyed it! The house is decorated beautifully in a coastal boho style, but not “over-decorated” … it is very comfortable. We loved the open plan with kitchen, relaxing couches and smart tv, and cozy electric fireplace, which we used every night! Luxurious king bed and beautiful bathroom. The screen porch was wonderful for watching the ever-changing marsh views … no horses, but still serene and beautiful.Harbor Hideaway was a perfect home base for local day trips. We did Port Royal (great Farmers Market on Sundays) downtown Beaufort (nice shops and historic homes) and Hunting Island State Park, which was just fantastic. (Thank you, Austin, for free pass.) The South Beach by lighthouse was great for walking for miles (our dog LOVED it!) but don’t miss the Boneyard Beach down by the Nature Center. The driftwood sculptures are simply amazing and there are plenty of small pieces, too. It’s well worth the .7 miles walk on trail from Nature Center. Get a brochure with map when you enter the park.Food wise, we recommend Madison’s in Port Royal for southern classics like fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, and fried oysters, and Sea Eagle Seafood Market for fresh shrimp, crab, and oysters to eat at home.Lastly, kudos to Austin, a very friendly, flexible, and responsive host. We appreciate you and your wonderful home, and hope to return!
