Harbert Hideaway - A short walk to the beach with private pool and hot tub.
Located on a quiet side street in Harbert, this large four-bedroom, four-and-one-half-bathroom house is a great family vacation getaway. It is a short half-mile walk or ride to the Harbert Road beach access point. This house has a private outdoor heated pool and hot tub, a beautiful vintage pool table, a wet bar, and a vast outdoor area. The main floor includes two large living areas at opposite ends of the house. A spacious kitchen, dining area, and family room are on one end. The dining area features a rustic grain wood table with seating for 10. A comfortable seating area has a leather sectional couch, coffee table, three cozy club chairs, and a flat-screen smart TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with new high-end stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and a convenient breakfast bar with seating for four. The entertainment area on the opposite side of the house is perfect for socializing and relaxing as it boasts a sit-down wet bar, pool table, poker table, and a lounge area with a spacious sectional couch with a flat-screen smart TV. The house is bathed in natural light, with numerous windows, skylights, and sliding doors leading outdoors. A powder room is located off the back entertainment area. A metal spiral staircase leads from the entertainment area to a roomy loft area, the first of two primary bedrooms in this house. This upstairs primary bedroom includes a king bed with an ensuite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in slate shower.

Beautiful modern house, great amenities & location
Our second stay at this house and cannot recommend enough. House is so well maintained and stocked, with a gorgeous kitchen, appliances and cookware. The layout accommodates families perfectly, with two living areas allowing for different activities. Our favorite, though, is the pool and surrounding area. The pool is large and well maintained and the seating surrounding it creates the best atmosphere. The owners keep investing in the house, elevating the experience each year and the property manager is top notch. Friendly, rsponsive, and accessible. The best!Would love to keep this place a secret, but it's too good not to share our wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this spot. The kitchen is impressive and large--great for four families managing five little ones! The pool, which is heated, was delightful given the weather was in the low 60s. The rooms are well furnished. The property manager was responsive and helpful as well.

A Wonderful Week
This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in in our over 25 years of rentals in the Harbor Country area. Everything was immaculate. The furnishing and kitchen materials were lovely. The layout of the house (having two living rooms) was wonderful so that the children could watch a movie in one and adults could be in another. Each bedroom was nicely appointed and the the bathrooms were plenty as well as spacious.
The pool was big and had plenty of seating area for our large family.
The property manager (Chris) was especially helpful, responsive and communicative. Can't say enough about how that helps the overall experience.
Two beaches are less than a 5 min ride - my preference was the Harbert Beach. While smaller than some of the other beaches, it was less crowded, and had enough parking. ( and fewer stairs)
We are all hoping we can go back again next year.

Great Family Get-Together
I am so glad we took a chance on this new listing! The property was excellent for extended families to come together for a week. The house had separate areas for kids to get away for noisy fun while the adults talked. The well-appointed kitchen and a table to seat all 10 of us was wonderful. There were special touches like an espresso machine and pool table to add to the enjoyment to be had from the swimming pool and hot tub. As a bonus, the beach was within close proximity to the house! Very nice!

Fantastic Gem!
Everything about this house was fantastic. Gorgeous pool and outside area with ample seating for lounging and eating. The kitchen is brand new and spectacular. Beds and accommodations were so comfortable and felt like a high end hotel. The house layout allows for everyone to be together or for quiet time off on your own. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend and look forward to renting again!
