Wonderful Stay

We loved the location. We could walk/bike to everything. The unit was perfect for our needs and would stay here again. The only thing I caution is the parking spot is extremely tight and if cars are already on either side, you may not fit in your assigned spot. Was happy for a parking spot and very happy for the free parking pass at Huntington Park. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice stay

The location was very good. The bikes are rusty and in poor condition, but I was able to use them to explore downtown Beaufort from this location. Everything worked fine in the unit and we did not really hear any noise from the cafe or smoking lounge and we did not smell any smoke.

Perfect for us

Great property! The location was perfect for the weekend moving our college student in. We could walk to dorms and loved the availability of extra parking since we had 2 vehicles the first night. Will for sure look to see if this place or their other one is available when we come to visit.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 1987. It consisted of 1 office and 3 long-term residential rentals. in 1997 we added the Magnolia Bakery Cafe and Garden Gift Gallery. (now paused in business) The original building was built in the 1950's and has been upgraded several times.
In 2016 we converted Suite A (1 bedroom) to short-term rental as a test. With overwhelming positive response in 2018 we converted Suite B (2 bedroom) to short-term rentals. Please see VRBO #912215 for our current 5 Star Reviews.

What makes this property unique

This property has cool river breezes, large southern Magnolias and Spanish Moss covered oak trees It is within walking distance to the historic Old Point (across the street) Downtown, the Waterfront Park and sweeping views of the Intercostal Waterway.
There is reserved parking directly in front for both A & B units but if that is taken there is extra parking beside and behind the building. Both units have 2 bicycles each together with free Beach passes at Hunting Island State Park
