About this property
3 BR/2 Bath Historic District~ 7 Bl to Downtown~20 mins to BEACH/Pass INCL
The Sunshine Cottage was built in 1897 and is located in the historic district of Beaufort, close to downtown and Bay Street. Totally renovated while keeping the low country charm; vaulted ceiling in the living room, makes a spacious and airy gathering area. Open concept dining room and kitchen off of the living room is at the front of the house with 3 bedrooms tucked off a central hallway towards the back of the house making for a quiet respite.
The MBR has a queen bed with top of the line mattress with hotel quality sheets and duvet. Side tables and a full dresser/mirror and a large closet. The master en-suite has been totally updated with a tiled floor and shower as well as a pocket door for privacy.
The 2nd bedroom is at the very back of the house and has a full size bed, dresser, closet and side tables. While the 3rd bedroom is a combination space of twin sofa bed, Roku TV and dedicated work space with a desk and ergonomic desk chair. All bedrooms have Hunter fans for comfortable sleeping and sound machines. The hall bathroom has a tiled shower/tub combo with plenty of light streaming in.
Off the back hall is a door to the large paver patio with an umbrella/table and chairs for outdoor dining, a weber style grill and a fire pit and chairs for cooler weather fires. Two adirondack chairs with a side table complete seating for 6 on the patio. The cottage has plenty of street parking; the neighbors leave the space directly in front of the cottage for guest use.
Hunting Island is a 20 minute drive and boasts an amazing state park beach; we provide a state park beach pass for guest use. We supply 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs for your use; guests must bring their own beach towels and other beach gear. Walking downtown is a 10 minute walk; slower if you pause to take in the beautiful bay and the historic homes along the walk.
The cottage is well appointed for short or longer stays since this is our families’ home away from home and we mean for it to be yours as well. The kitchen has everything you need to cook including oils, spices etc. Coffee and a drip coffee maker is provided. There’s a coffee grinder and french press as well. Gas stove, dishwasher and a large refrigerator round out the galley style kitchen. We provide towels, linens, extra pillows and blankets for our guests.
We have 2 Smart TVs/ROKU; one in the living room and 1 in the sitting room/3rd bedroom w/ sofa bed (twin). You can easily stream your Netflix movies using your login as well as other apps. We provide HULU, MAX,and, Paramount+. We ask that guests do NOT sign out of the provided streaming services..
The cottage has a wide porch with rocking chairs and side tables for relaxing and reading with a large potted palm, camellias and azaleas .
PLEASE NOTE: Any violation of house rules, including but not limited to unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets or animals, smoking including vaping indoors, parties or large gatherings as well as use of premises for filming will be grounds for immediate cancellation and removal from the property. Though we live in Hendersonville, NC, our local property manager is available during your stay and we are just a call or text away. Thank you for taking your time to take a look at our cottage and we look forward to having you as our guests soon!

Loved the decor of this place! Karen was a great host, very helpful. Location was great for exploring Beaufort and the surrounding locations. If we are back in Beaufort again, this is where we'll stay!
The check in process was smooth, the location was terrific and the cottage was perfect! My wife and I couldn’t have been happier. We’ll definitely stay here again if it’s available when we visit Beaufort again.
Loved the place — very clean , well- appointed, and within walking distance to main part of town on waterfront. Great communication with owner — she was fantastic. Highly recommended.
The cottage was beautiful and the beds were comfortable. It was very clean and the kitchen had everything you need. We would highly recommend it and would definitely go back again!
Sunshine Cottage is a wonderful place to stay from the decor, location and amenities to the cozy look & feel of each room. Our family stayed the week of Christmas and I was able to cook and bake like I do in my home kitchen. Easy parking in front and loved having Hulu, Max, Peacock and Paramount channels on the TV.
Amazing property with convenient downtown access. Excellent communication with Karen. Amenities were spot on and property had great kitchen and backyard space! Highly recommend.
This lovely renovated and decorated cottage was perfect for my sister and me as we made a short trip to Beaufort. There is nothing not to love about it from the rocking chairs on the porch, new kitchen and baths, and the cozy, comfortable living area. Oh, and the beautiful patio/back yard! For a few days, a week, or a month this is a wonderful home away!
Our 3rd stay here, visiting from CT, this time with our two adult sons. the cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable for the four of us. Loved exploring the Beaufort area and Hunting Island with the kids. Spent a day in Charleston also, easy ride from the Cottage. I’m sure we will back again in the future.
This is our second stay at the Sunshine Cottage, but it won't be our last. The Cottage had everything that my husband and I and our friend, needed. It was very pretty, clean and comfortable, and in a perfect location for exploring Beaufort. Halfway between Savannah and Charleston so we were easily able to explore both those cities too. Communication with owner was excellent! I highly recommend this property. You won't be disappointed.
This is a good place for groups of 4 or less. Everything was very clean and everything needed was provided. There are no onsite laundry facilities. Owner was very easy to communicate with and responded very promptly to any questions. I would recommend this house and look forward to staying here again should we return to the area. Very quiet neighborhood.
Took a girls trip to Savannah and decided to do a quick overnight in Beaufort. This cute (not so) little cottage was a nice fit for our evening. We only spent one night so didn't get to enjoy much of the house but wish we could've stayed longer! Perfect night in front of the "fireplace" watching Christmas movies. Very nicely preserved and decorated. Everything you need in a rental and more! Close to downtown. Enjoyed the downtown & historic districts. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time!
The Cottage is a wonderful place to stay! EVERYTHING you need for a very relaxing stay! INCLUDING Beach pass & chairs! Centrally located- convenient to everything! Host is very responsive. Quiet neighborhood. Will definitely be back!
The cottage is perfect and we hope to stay next year for 4 weeks. Bed comfy , fireplace handy when temps were chilly and everything one would need was provided. Everything great about Beaufort was in walking distance from the cottage. Also we appreciated the parking pass to Hunting Beach. Well worth the trip,
