Beaufort visit

The house was exactly what we needed; a convenient, welcoming home base to come back to after a long day. We had everything we needed and the owner was exceptionally kind to us.

Charming two weeks in Beaufort

We were snowbirding in Beaufort for two weeks in February and didn’t know much about the town other than what we read. We absolutely loved it! This great cottage was just a 10 minute walk to downtown. We loved walking the streets lined with trees ornamented with Spanish Moss, historic homes and churches. This cottage was great for us and our small dog as we worked remotely and explored the area. Host was very responsive!

Perfect Cottage!

This was the perfect cottage for our weekend getaway. Everything was new, fresh and clean! We had everything we needed- from fresh linens to a well stocked kitchen. We also appreciated the little things like ceiling fans and easy to reach charging blocks in each room. Perfect spot to walk and explore Bay Street in Beaufort. Hope to return one day soon!

Very nice house!

The house is lovely and generally well-appointed. While the yard is small, it is securely fenced and our dog enjoyed roaming it (looking for squirrels). The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable, and just one mile to the far end of downtown, past numerous nice stores and good restaurants. Emails were answered very promptly, both before and during our stay.

Beautiful property, thoughtfully put together. Extremely comfortable. Neighborhood ‘transitioning’ but we never felt unsafe and it’s v close to downtown. 5 stars overall.

Beaufort Grad Trip

The home was gorgeous and immaculate in a transformation neighborhood downtown. We were able to walk a few short blocks to the waterfront for morning coffee and dinner nightly. The home has a wonderful screened in porch where we spent a lot of time swinging on the porch swing. It was a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Home - Great Location

House looks just as pictured. Clean, beautiful, modern, comfortable. Covered patio with swing was a nice touch for a quiet night in fresh air. Tennis courts are within short walking distance from house. Water and downtown area are quick drive or accessible by foot via 15+ minute walk. There are some homes surrounding that may not have the same charm as this one but would not let that deter your stay as we felt safe and would absolutely stay here again on a return visit. Property management made check in super easy and the welcome packet was helpful to learn the area.

Everything and more…

This beautifully appointed cottage is walking distance to downtown, with everything you could possibly want, from dog biscuits and bowls to blender and spices. Just beware—the swing on the screened-in porch is seriously addicting!
