From the moment we arrived at “One Particular Harbor” we knew we had made the perfect choice for Spring break with our family. Susan’s description of the home, the views and the facilities are described to a “T”, all the way down to watching dolphins from the deck and seeing the shrimp boats pass by. You can tell that Susan takes immense pride in the upkeep and decoration of the house. Everything has been thoughtfully selected to make sure the house has a perfect “Island” feel. The house is extremely well equipped and has literally everything that you could possibly want during your stay. The kitchen is a good design and would work great for a crowd. The great room is amazing! You cannot beat those views! There was a good selection of up to date DVD’s for those lazy nights in and plenty of books and music to relax with. The beds, linens were great and over all the home had such a “squeaky” clean feel to it. We didn’t use Jimmie’s hideaway as we didn’t have need for the extra space. Susan had warned us that its not suitable for young kids in that it has a separate entrance. I would certainly agree with that. I think it would be fine for teens but I am not sure I’d have wanted our adult guests to sleep there. The Island is a real jewel of a place. Our trip reminded me of old fashioned beach vacations we went on as kids where we built sand castles, flew a kite and swam in the ocean. It’s a very low key place, so if you are after rest and relaxation you are in store for a treat. Our older child loved the fact that it was a mere 10 steps to the beach and it was so quiet that she referred to it as “our beach”. The water was quite chilly in April but certainly not cold enough to deter anyone from taking a dip. Our 5 year old could not get enough of the waves and took up boogie boarding like a natural. It was hard to keep her out of the water! There is a wonderful paved path that runs the length of the Island. Its perfect for runners and bikers of all ages. We sampled some of the local fare at the Blue Parrot (great drinks and a decent grouper sandwich). We also bought seafood most days from the mobile van that parks on the main drag every day. There is a decent children's play ground on the main drag that we visited a few times and we enjoyed climbing the lighthouse and eating ice cream at Aunt Ebby's, All in all I highly recommend “One Particular Harbor”. I was so glad we chose that spot and can't wait to return.

I just spent a long weekend at One Particular Harbor on SGI. I'd absolutely recommend this island and house to anyone looking for a week long getaway...or simply a long weekend. The house has an excellent view of the ocean and the beach is private and peaceful. The property is well maintained and had everything we needed for our time there. It is also walking distance to all of the restaurants if the weather is nice. Jimmy's hideaway turned out to be an excellent perk as it offered privacy in a house w/ 4 other people. The transaction w/ the owners was also very succinct. Don't underestimate this place; I'd absolutely return.

One Particular Harbor was the perfect vacation beach house for me and my family. We ranged in age from 17 to 81, and everyone, including the dog, was thrilled with the house and the beach.

The house was ideal for us. The spacious great-room, large kitchen connected to eating area and living room, was perfect to ensure that no one was left out of anything happening, as well as being a great place to watch the dolphins swim by almost every day.

The 17- and 22-year-olds appreciated the wave runner rental location that was about a 1/2 mile walk down the beach, and the Blue Parrot has great grouper dishes and a fun beachside bar.

The owners clearly and accurately represented their property and were extremely easy to work with.

I recommend One Particular Harbor to anyone seeking the perfect family vacation home.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, pet-friendly

We thoroughly enjoyed One Particular Harbor. No problems with the property or the owner. We had two children under 6 and two seniors over 75 with us. Clean, well maintained & a great location. We'd stay at the property again.

The place was more than we expected. We had 2 families for a total of 8 and were very comfortable. The two teenage girls had their own place in Jimmy's Hideaway and loved it. The home was even more spacious than we imagined and we never felt crowded or cramped. Everything was clean and ready to go. The interior photos on the website don't do the home justice. Jim and Sue even stopped in early on to make sure we had gotten settled and that all was ok-a very nice & unexpected personal touch! The location was awesome and in walking/biking distance to everything. We felt totally safe letting the girls and the 6th grade boys walk for ice cream, to shops etc. Definitely the adult highlight was the Oyster Bar and buying fresh seafood daily! We didn't venture off the island, but enjoyed the beach time relaxing and fishing. We hope to come back again soon. Thanks for a great vacation!

The view you first have when you pull in the driveway is spectacular. But then that is exceeded by the view from the greatroom. And then that is exceeded by the view from the master bedroom. What a wonderful, beachy place that has an absolutely magical calming effect on your soul.

WE LOVE One Particular Harbor, we have stayed here before, several years ago with family and cousins..the house was as nice if not nicer then the last time. We love the Jimmies aprtment down stairs was the perfect place to put some 18 year old girls, they could stay up all night and not bother us!!

Thanks again and we had a great time!
