Perfect location, perfect vacation rental
We had a lovely half-week in this pretty carriage house. The location couldn't have been better - I never started my car once after arriving - everything in town is walkable from here. And the property itself is gorgeous - loved sitting on the balcony and just taking it all in. The rental was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. And the hosts, Ellen and Mike, couldn't have been more gracious. Definitely coming back...

Great location
This carriage house was cute, extremely clean and in a great location. We walked to breakfast ( Blackstone Cafe) every morning. All of the Bay Street shops are within walking distance. We also did a carriage ride through the historic district which was outstanding

Charming Home Away from Home
This apartment has everything you need to feel like home during your stay in Beaufort. The location is right in the center of the historic area, and easy walking access to down-town. Lovely to feel a part of this charming, historic city for a few days.

Perfect location
The Wren’s Nest is the perfect place to stay in Beaufort. Conveniently located to the waterfront and downtown- you are steps away from great shopping and wonderful restaurants. We had a couple of changes in our plans and our hosts could not have been more accommodating. The unit was well equipped with everything it promised and more! We will return to Beaufort one day and we will stay in the Wren’s Nest again!
