Ellen was very welcoming and her historic home is lovely and well maintained. The home has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. We enjoyed the charming town of Beaufort. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Thank you Ellen for a fantastic stay. We choose it for the location in the heart of the walkable historic district. We loved the gracious porch and your warm southern hospitality. The decor was beautiful, the beds were comfy, and the little kitchenette was well appointed. We had a great stay!
The location is perfect for Beaufort! You can walk everywhere. The historic home is clean, beautifully decorated and has all items you need. The host is very helpful and kind! Highly recommended!
This was our second time staying here, and once again it was lovely. Spotlessly clean, charming and well fitted out with all we could need. Perfect location in the historic district - within a short walking distance of Bay Street and other spots. The porch is delightful for sitting out in the cool of the mornings! Highly recommend!
This is a wonderful property! Ellen is a fantastic house with great communication and hospitality. It is in a perfect location to be able to walk everywhere and enjoy all the beautiful historical homes and restaurants. It has every amenity that you need with a great kitchen area and spacious Interior. Our favorite was the gorgeous port with rocking chairs where we had coffee each morning and cocktails in the evening. Very private yet close to it all! I highly recommend this great property!
Perfect get-a-way. Great location spotless accommodations.
perfect space for two people. extremely clean and well thought out. Host/hostess couldn't be more perfect. I would recommend to anyone interested in Beaufort.
This place is simply magical! Historic, immaculate, cozy and quiet. Couple of blocks from Historic Downtown Beaufort. Owners are delightful and always ready and able to help with anything you may need.
The most Beautiful place to stay when checking out wonderful Beaufort!!Just loved the comfort and location…so close to everything we wanted to explore. We got to chat with both Ellen and Mike…so nice to meet them. Full of the history of the area and wonderful suggestion. Stay here, this will be our go to place when visiting Beaufort again.
We loved our stay in Ellen and Mike's charming carriage house. It was quiet, comfortable, and beautifully appointed. We especially loved the rocking chair front porch overlooking the grounds. Craven House is so lovely and Ellen could not have been kinder. We will definitely be back!
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.
Stayed for 4 nights and each day was better than the previous. The best part was being able to walk everywhere. Restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, retail therapy... everything you could possibly want and more!! Will definitely stay here again!!
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
Ellen and Mike are excellent hosts.
The property is stunning and convenient to the waterfront and the Beaufort area. The Wren's Nest is well-maintained, clean and well thought out for travelers' needs. We would not hesitate to enjoy this property on future visits.
Stayed as this wonderful VRBO in Beaufort. Everything and more than we expected. Clean, comfortable and convenient to things to see and restaurants to eat at! Hoping to return next year to see things we didn't have time for! Thank you Ellen for letting us stay at your slice of paradise!
Married couple weekend of relaxation in an area we've not stayed before. Relaxed neighborhood and quaint downtown area in easy walking distance. Biked on Spanish Moss Trail, did sightseeing, watched sunset. Did not see any dolphins or ghosts, unfortunately
