We really enjoyed our time in this house. It was comfy, clean and really close to downtown Beaufort. The owner was very responsive. Can’t think of a thing that wasn’t great!
The Pelican Cottage is located in the historic district and close to shopping and restaurants. The neighborhood was great for walking. The cottage was very pet friendly…complete with dog beds and treats! I would definitely recommend staying there!
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was in the perfect location: close to the beach, but far enough away we weren’t in the hustle and bustle of things. It also is one of the few places we’ve stayed at that was truly pet friendly; little details throughout the house such as a dog bed let us know that they would be comfortable. The property manager was extenely nice and we are looking forward to coming back!
This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage! It’s perfect for me, my husband and our two dogs. Very efficient house - has all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We love that it is located within the historic district. We take many walks! Access to great restaurants we walk to is also a plus! We will be back!
Perfect for my family of 3. Right down the road from restaurants and cafés. Very clean with all the amenities of home. Great communication from the host. The gas fed lamps are a unique touch.
The Pelican Cottage is a charming, welcoming place to call home. Everything you need is available to you and the location is perfect. Beautiful walk to Bay Street and the waterfront. Denise was the perfect host and quick to respond to messages. And being affordable and yet pet-friendly to our two little fur babies was a big ✅ on our list! We will definitely be back to The Pelican Cottage!
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. It has everything needed and was so comfortable and cozy! The owners were very courteous and was available for the couple questions I had. I didn’t have to reach out to them for much because everything was already explained. I highly recommend to anyone coming to Beaufort, SC. It is so convenient to everything.
We stayed 3 weeks at Pelican cottage. Here is what I really appreciated about our stay: a cozy place to stay, well supplied with things including in the kitchen (which is important to us). Wonderful conversations with the host, who was very insightful about the environment of Beaufort as well as very responsive. Wonderful location, walking distance from the marshland, downtown, the waterfront. Kind neighbors all around with whom one could have leisurely chats. All together a solid stay, which I would absolutely recommend!
This was our second year renting the Pelican Cottage. It’s a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown. We had everything we needed for a 15 night stay. Our host, Denise, was great. We appreciated the treats she had for us and whenever I texted her, she got back to me within minutes. It’s a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended!
Perfect cottage for my husband, me and our two English Springer Spaniels! Enough space for their crates and loved that you could close off the hallway to the bedrooms and bathroom and laundry/pantry area. Loved the Old Commons section of the historic district and the proximity to Bay Street and the waterfront area. We walked all around the historic district - no reason to move the car! Cottage had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. We will be back again!
This quaint little cottage in Beaufort offered a delightful dog-friendly getaway, just a short walk from the waterfront and town center. It was clean and included thoughtful touches like welcome snacks that made our arrival instantly warm.
However, our stay wasn't entirely without its hitches. Several burned-out light bulbs left the kitchen area feeling a bit dim, making cooking a bit of a challenge. Stepping stones through the grass (which was occasionally wet from built-in sprinklers) would be a helpful addition. And while the television provided entertainment, its sluggish response time tested our patience on occasion.
Overall, this cottage has undeniable charm and a wonderful location. With a few minor fixes, it could be truly exceptional. We'd certainly recommend it to other dog-loving adventurers who don't mind a touch of rusticity, especially considering the thoughtful welcome snacks and proximity to town.
Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful & cozy cottage. Denise is a wonderful host and replied to my emails within a few minutes. We will book with her again during our next stay.Thank you for being a wonder host!
This was the second time I stayed in this cottage. We loved it both times. The host was wonderful and responded very quickly to any questions. Very easy walk to downtown and the waterfront. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a visit!!
