We enjoyed our stay. It is a quiet neighborhood, except when the planes are near but we loved it.

We enjoyed this house while in SC for my sons graduation from PI. The house was super clean and comfortable for 6 adults. A close ride to PI for early morning activities, and a short drive to downtown Beaufort to enjoy the waterfront , shops and many restaurants. Overall a comfortable place to stay while enjoyingg our trip to SC.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great. We walked to dinner one night then to breakfast the next morning.
We love our coffee and this home offered both Keurig and automatic drip machines along with snacks the owner had left for us to enjoy.
The place was well equipped for renters to enjoy their stay. We especially enjoyed the SC state park pass that we used to visit Hunting Island.

This is a very cute home that has many nice updates. The owners provided top of the line appliances and the kitchen was well stocked. They went out of their way to made sure you had everything you might need.
It is located in an up and coming part of Beaufort. The location is very convenient to most of the local attractions. That being said, we were not comfortable staying in that particular area.

Great location to stay at. We really enjoyed riding the bikes around the neighborhood and especially loved the trees with the Spanish moss. Beautiful views of the water and Beaufort is such a neat historic old town with lots of beautiful homes. Really enjoyed our stay.

The property is very beautiful and it had everything we needed. It's in a great location. We love to sit on the 2 porches front and back and drink our morning coffee. The set up was beautiful and very relaxing. We had a wonderful time

This home was absolutely wonderful!!! We stayed for our sons graduation from USMC Parris Island boot camp, and it was so convenient.
The owner thought of so many details to include to make our stay comfortable. The house was spotless and cozy. I highly recommend!!!

We were most pleased with our stay here. The home was just minutes from downtown, a perfect location. Ann was a wonderful host, she worked with us as we worked around hurricane Ian. I don’t know how she did it, but the house was beautiful, well stocked, very clean even though the storm went through that area just a few days before. Ann is a amazing interior decorator! We look forward to staying here again next time we are in Beaufort. We just wished we could have stayed longer.
