Charming, Quiet, Convenient

This darling little VRBO cottage was perfect for me and my husband. The house was clean and updated with everything in good, working condition. The washer & dryer were a great bonus! Loved the updated bathroom with roomy walk in shower! We made good use of the bikes and annual pass to Hunting Island State Park. We would definitely consider returning to this location.

Cozy little house

The house was everything the listing said and more. The location was perfect for the activities we had planned. We went to Huntington island multiple times and the unexpected park pass was a great bonus. I the kids loved taking the bikes down to the waterfront area. We brought stuff to go crabbing and the house didn’t have a pan to cook them it we rectified that, then donated it to the house for the next family. Only downfall for me was the bed in the first bedroom. It was broken down in the middle causing back pain. My husband had no issues in the same bed so it must have been just the one side. Overall would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking.

Anniversary Trip

The cottage was very welcoming. We loved the personal touches. The only suggestion we have would be the beds. One bed needs a new mattress and the other bed makes noises as if the bed might collapse. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect!! Thanks for everything.

Perfect Weekend House

The Anchor House was clean, cute, and perfect for a weekend visit. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed and check in and clean up were a breeze. The only very tiny improvement I'd recommend would be adding a bench, chair, or side table to unpack/organize your things in the second bedroom. It was the perfect place for us to stay, we had a great host experience, and we plan to return!

Anchor Cottage has it all

Easy check in and directions to this quaint cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Love how throw blankets were available. Fluffy bath towels and comfortable bed. Made full use of the bike, however the front and back brakes do need servicing. The park pass was also a nice perk, Hunting Island was fun. The neighborhood was mostly quiet and peaceful. Will stay here again.

Cute and clean indoors. Only 1 hand towel in bathroom, no luggage racks, light bulb on front porch burned out. Exterior was awful! Needs a major cleaning-yard and house exterior neglected.

Another Adventure in Beaufort

The stay was lovely. The Anchor house is adorable. It is clean and comfortable, with access to two bikes. Just minutes from downtown. A few things to note; there is no dishwasher (I had to rewatch all the dishes we used because the host requires the guests to clean them, by hand, before they leave), only two bikes, we used the grill and there wasn’t a scraper to clean it properly, we also needed batteries for the tv remote. These are definitely small adjustments and it didn’t hinder our stay. Just to be aware of when you rent this house.

Great Little House

The Anchor House was perfect for my husband and I for the few days we were in Beaufort. It's on a quiet street and close to downtown. It was very clean and had comfortable beds. We will be back and forth a few times while our house is being built and will probably be booking this property again.

Cozy House

The house was very welcoming, clean, and had just enough room for the four of us to stay for the weekend. This is the second Mermaid cottage we have stayed in this year, and I would recommend the mermaid cottages to anyone looking for a good experience. Our host has everything you need for your stay and responds quickly if you need assistance. Also the check-in process is very easy. You can check in as soon as you get the text from the host unlike some places where they make you wait until 4pm even if it is ready early. I don't have any negatives from either experience. This house is adorable and is decorated with some neat antiques that also come with a backstory. I like all the little added touches to make you feel at home. The beds are comfy and the living room accommodated our family of four. There is a large fenced in backyard if you have little ones and want some outside time. The neighborhood was extremely quiet, and we were close to downtown. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities for cooking a meal. The shower was great and everything was in working order. The house is small, but perfect for a family of four. Great place, thanks for the stay!

Anchor was Great!

We stayed for USMC graduation. The place was perfect had a good location to food and about 20 minutes from base. It was clean and adorable and perfect for us. The owner was very responsive when we had issues and ran out to the house to help me. Definitely recommend this little place if you're wanting to stay in the area.

The house was beautiful and looks exactly as stated on VRBO. It was easy to book the house and the manager responded quickly to any questions we had. The house was located close to the downtown area and restaurants. We look forward to booking this house in the future as well.
