About this property

Beautiful Waterfront with Deep Water/Dock Float/Pier

This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom waterfront home has everything to make your family vacation both fun and relaxing.
Enjoy your coffee in the morning with gorgeous water and marsh views. In the afternoons, relax in the sun or enjoy some fishing right off the dock. "It doesn't get much better than this" comes to mind describing the view from the dock at sunset and let's not forget the screened porch rocking chairs which are a perfect way to end the day with your favorite beverage.
Just a few of the details to help you make a decision!
2 boats are welcome to dock on our float and there is plenty of room to park the boat trailer at the house.
ON THE MAIN LEVEL: The home has a fully equipped Kitchen, dining room table for 6, 4 bar stools and extra seating on large screened in porch. The Kitchen over looks the Den in an open floor plan. The Master Bedroom has a nice master bath suite featuring a spa tub, walk in shower and water closet. A Second Bedroom is also located on Main Level with another convenient bathroom.
UPSTAIRS: There are two more large Bedrooms, a full Bathroom and large Gathering room.
UNDER THE HOUSE: There is fun stuff provided, a Ping Pong Table, Corn Hole Boards with bags, Beach Chairs and More.
If you love to watch the porpoises play while kicking back, cast a line off the end of the dock or step on your boat from the floating dock to take an afternoon cruise, this is the home to rent for vacation.

CLOSE BY: Put your boat in at the ramp located less than a mile away and dock it on the floating dock. Rental kayaks and paddle boards are available from a local vendor. Enjoy a day at the beach since Hunting Island State Park is only a 12 mile drive with a naturalistic beach, walking trails and a light house. Beaufort Waterfront (Waterfront Dining, Shops and Kid's new playground) , Parris Island and Port Royal (Sands Beach where there are tons of sharks teeth to find) are all a short drive away. Dockside, Johnson's Creek Tavern, Foolish Frog are local restaurants located on Lady's Island and Saint Helena Island.

Quiet, comfortable and relaxing!

This was the perfect spot for our family gathering! The home was cozy and comfortable, and situated in a quieter area away from the crowds/tourists. We caught crabs off the dock, played ping pong and corn hole, visited Hunting Island and the Penn Center, enjoyed a couple rounds of golf, and strolled around lovely downtown Beaufort!

Beautiful and peaceful place.

The place was right for the kind of vacation we wanted this time. The place was quiet and private. There were enough beds for all12 of us. The dining room is tight but bar and porch can easily be used for eating. We enjoyed the dock for early morning coffee time as well for evening cocktails. We also did crabbing from the dock. Booking and check-in process was seamless. Instructions were clear and concise. The host made sure we made it to the house and were always available to answer our questions. Pots and pans are old and do not have matching lids. There were some bugs and roaches in the house. These can be easily remedied. We will definitely recommend the place to anyone.

Beautiful property on perfect location!

Our family of 8 adults and 4 kids ages 1-7 had a wonderful vacation. The house had everything we needed - space to gather, a large kitchen, a beautiful view from the fully screened porch, and even dolphins jumping in the water off the dock. Plenty of beds for everyone and the master bath and huge shower were a hit to quickly clean up all the kids after our trips to the beach at the state park. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor games. Perfect location between the beach and Beaufort and wonderful restaurants close by! It was very easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go. We loved it!

Memorial Day Memories 2023

Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms modern and clean, the kitchen had everything we could have possibly wanted, let alone needed, the living area had comfy furniture (which was a blessing during the first 36 hours of near-tropical force winds and rain), the kiddos ( and adults) could watch some Disney movies and play games at the kitchen table. We appreciated the dock on a quiet river that accommodated our 24 and 20 foot boats. We even caught enough crabs to eat on our evening. We met your friendly neighbors/relatives in the houses next door and spent one day on the beach together playing games there. We hope we can return soon! Jim and Jean

Great Location!

Located less than a 1/2 mile from a public boat launch. Important as we trailered 2 boats. Went by water to Edisto and Beaufort to enjoy sandbars and restaurants. House is clean and well appointed. Was surprised to find many supplies we did experience in other large rentals.

Perfectly Peaceful Spot for Wedding on Dataw Island

The house was for the most part clean and functional. We were delighted to have ROKU for the sports fans. We enjoyed a laugh upon finding a pair of black ladies panties behind the love seat - lots of off-color remarks about the previous renters. House Rules we’re clear and specific. Directions to the County Waste Disposal Center could have used more detail - like an address; mileage from residence, turn details. We ended up going to a center some miles beyond Beaufort. We were surprised not to find a blender in a kitchen that seems to have every other appliance and tool. We were grateful to find paper plates, and napkins. Very comfortable beds, pillows, charming furniture, luxury bathrooms, terrific views of low country, South Carolina. We loved playing cornhole., But for us the proximity to Dataw Island was perfect.

This was our third year staying at Tootsie’s Retreat. House was as clean as always and felt like home. We appreciate the well equipped kitchen as we cooked each night. The screened porch and the dock are always our favorite spots to relax. We’re looking forward to our next trip!

Perfect getaway in a beautiful location

My family of 8 stayed in this property for a week. Thank you to Janice and Evelyn for sharing your piece of paradise with us. It was obvious how much you love your river home. We have stayed in several vacation properties but this one was so well thought out and we can’t wait to come back. The home was CLEAN and beautifully laid out for a group. The owners have thought of so many family friendly details. The home was lovingly furnished, the beds were heaven and the kitchen had everything we needed. We especially loved the 6 rocking chairs on the screened in porch and the swimming off the dock! We made daily trips on our boat to enjoy the sandbar with our pups. It was minutes away from fresh seafood and great restaurants and only 20 minutes from historic Beaufort. There were board games and dominos for family game nights. We spent hours playing ping pong and corn hole outside. We loved our visit from the neighbor’s dog every morning. What a sweet boy! This home truly had everything for a terrific relaxing boat vacation. Thank you again for a wonderful week!

This was our second time staying at Tootsie’s Retreat. We had an awesome time! The only things that could have made it better is if we could have stayed longer and if there was an elevator—steps are hard for the older generation.

About the host

Hosted by Janice and Evelyn

We are a Mother and Children team (my children are adults). I am a mother of 3, grandmother of 7 and great grandmother of 4 so far. I have lived in Beaufort for over 10 years but also I am an original South Carolinian. What I love most is spending time with my family and friends no matter where that may be.
Pictured is me and my oldest daughter, Janice. She is helping me with all of the technical stuff that challenges me.

Why they chose this property

I have decided to make my home available to other families for vacation rental in hopes they will enjoy what it has to offer like we do. We absolutely love the area. There is opportunity to fish, swim, shell, sunbath right from our dock. You can see the shrimp boats from the dock and watch as they go out and come in.

What makes this property unique

My children and grandchildren love to take the boat out to the sand bar which is right around the bend and enjoy a day of games, fishing and sunning. This might be something you would enjoy but regardless of your activity, the views from the porch and dock are amazing.
If you have not been to the area before please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have, my daughter and I will do our very best to answer.
Thank you and we hope to talk to you soon!
