Great home in perfect location!

This space was just right for our group of 5 - three bedrooms and 1.5 baths. We appreciated the king bed & privacy of en suite 1/2 bath. Kitchen well equipped, nice dining space. We enjoyed walking out each morning to the downtown area and historical attractions.

Another delightful stay in downtown Beaufort

For the second time, my wife and I enjoyed this lovely cottage that is a few minutes walk away from Beaufort's Bay Street. Having separate rooms and a short distance to a playground were both invaluable to our stay with our young child.

Perfect location

We came to Beaufort to enjoy the Run Forrest Run 5k and Shrimp Festival. This little house was in the perfect location to walk to downtown and all of the events. We were able to experience so much of the low country and plan day trips to Charleston and Savannah. The house was perfectly set up and very comfortable.

Convenient location

Perfect location. Easy walking to downtown shops and restaurants. Easy to get to Port Royal, Hunting Island State Park. House needs some repairs, luggage racks. Comfortable for two but would be tight for more. We enjoyed our stay.

Location, location, location…

This is a great property within a few blocks of all the downtown restaurants and waterfront. It is also just down from the library, near the Cultural Arts Center (great programs and movies), museums, and many historic sites. There is ample room to entertain (table seats 8), and the little front porch is an extra bonus. We are glad we stayed there.

Trip to Beaufort

The cottage was clean, and comfortable. Location was great - within easy walking distance of waterfront, shopping, restaurants, and historic sites. Location was also within easy driving distance of Hunting Island state park and other areas of interest. The kitchen was well equipped but could use a nonstick frying pan. More hooks in BOTH bathrooms as well as a couple of open shelves would be a nice improvement. We would stay here again.

So quaint

we had an amazing time! It’s two blocks from adorable shopping and amazing food. The house was adorable. We loved the front porch. We did ask if we could check in a few hours early and we just wish the check-in process/communication was a little better. Other than that, we had an amazing time!

Beaufort

I had intended to take my granddaughters, but they backed out, so I had a lone time opportunity! Beaufort is a nice town. Not sure how walking to town would have been; I just drove. Parking was no problem during the week. House was nice. Love this era house. I felt safe in the neighborhood. Easy access - all through text. I’m not a phone person, so that was fine with me. House was clean. Don’t expect to have shampoo; glad I had taken mine. Kitchen is small, but I didn’t intend to cook! I would recommend a shower rod cover, since the shower rod is a bit rusty and the shower curtain rings don’t slide easily. Other than that, it was wonderful. Thank you.

Amazing hospitality!

We flew into Savannah on the last flight of the night, so we weren’t able to check in until close to midnight. The lights were left on for us and there was music playing on the tv when we arrived. It was so welcoming and made a late check in (in a new place) so much more comfortable. The location is perfect!
