About this property

Charming Waterfront Car House

This charming waterfront carriage house on lady’s island overlooking factory creek, is on a one acre beautifully landscaped property, minutes from downtown Beaufort and the low country sea islands. There is a 150’ walkway, pier house, and floating dock for fishing. The waterfront view of a 2000-acre marsh, rivers, and creeks is spectacular.
Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best small southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine
Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of numerous smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars. Visitors are provided a rich experience of history, culture, dining, annual events, cultural festivals, arts and outdoor recreation.
Henry chambers waterfront park winds along the glistening Beaufort River with a vista of marsh islands and waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where elegant mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent restaurants and boutique one-of-a-kind shops line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local restaurants to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion pictures, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.
The carriage house is newly built, and features a spacious living area with Satellite TV, High Speed Internet, separate bedroom with queen sized bed, full kitchen with bar, bath, laundry, and a stunning vaulted ceiling with professional interior design appointments. The living quarters are on the second floor of the Carriage House.
The waterfront and pier house are all available to guests. A full- service marina is located 1/4 mile from the property on Factory Creek. Pets may be allowed under special circumstances.

Absolutely great

Absolutely great, we would like to thank Bobbie and Dan for a wonderful time at their home on Ladies Island. Dan and Bobbie were such wonderful hosts and really Made everything to make sure our stay was perfect. Dan greeted us on arrival and took the time to show us around the property. They even invited us for cocktails at their house. Dan was so helpful and did everything for us to support us in a difficult situation.We are so glad we met them and can't wait to visit again in the future. The Carriage House exceeded all our expectations. It is perfectly equipped and furnished with great attention to detail in a maritime style. We especially enjoyed the afternoons until sunset on the boat dock. If we could give more than the possible 5 points, every additional point would be absolutely deserved. We would very much like to come back soon.

Great and quiet place!

This was our second time staying here in the last two years and it was just as great as the first time! The place is perfect and has everything you need, the water views and sunsets on the dock are pristine and relaxing. The owner Mr. Dan wasn’t there that week, but he still made sure we were taken care of by calling or texting us a few times to check on us and make sure we were enjoying the place and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back in the future again!

Lady’s Island

Scenic location with lovely marsh and creek views. The property was very comfortable and well maintained, all amenities were provided and in good working condition. The property manager was friendly and accommodating. He and his wife gave us privacy and let us make the most of enjoying the sunset views from their dock. It was a great getaway for us. We love the area and hope to get back to the Lowcountry soon. Many thanks to Dan and Bobbie

10/10 Experience!

I wish I could give this 10 stars! My husband and I truly had one of the best experiences here. The carriage house is even better than pictured. It's extremely well kept and there are so many little details to appreciate. Both of us work remotely, and the space was a perfect set up for that. Dan and Bobbie were such wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. They greeted us upon arrival, and took the time to show us around the property. They even took us on a boat ride! We are so glad to have met them and can't wait to come back in the future.

Ideal and Welcoming

This is a lovely one-bedroom apartment, charmingly decorated and comfortable with everything you could need. The location worked for us because we wanted to be near downtown Beaufort (but not IN it), and also near the grocery store and nature walks---a beach view was not a priority for us, though this has a lovely slice of the waterway from the dining room table. The hosts, Dan and Bobbie, are absolutely the best--thoughtful and attentive. We loved it so much, we will return next year. We could not have been happier!

Nautical theme

The owner was extremely friendly and very obliging. The place was clean, spacious, and quiet. We were surprised by all the little amenities that were provided to us, such as: washer, dryer, dishwasher, internet, and cable Tv. The location was close to the supermarket, restaurants and stores. But the best thing of all was having a nice place to stay while visiting our son , daughter-in-law and grandchildren for the Christmas Holiday.

A Little Slice of Heaven

This is a wonderful cottage in a picturesque setting. It is minutes from shopping, restaurants, and anywhere one would want to explore in the Beaufort area. The hosts were lovely and we only wish we could have gotten to know them better. The highlight of each day was enjoying a drink on the dock while watching the sun go down and the birds settling in for the night in the marsh. A definite repeat trip is necessary after construction on I-26 is over!

Cozy, Clean and Convenient

After a long day of driving we were so happy to arrive at this beautiful carriage house! It was so inviting and we just dropped into bed. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom as far as towels, extra sheets and pillows for the fold-out bed, and plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, and cookware. We didn't do much cooking since we were so close to EVERYTHING. Restaurants and shopping were minutes away in both directions. The backyard, dock and dockhouse shared by our host was a slice of heaven. We watched dolphins swim by, along with all manner of birds. It was also fun to watch the boaters as they drifted along. Even in the scorching heatwave, there was a cool breeze in the evening perfect for G&Ts and charcouterie to go with the pink and orange sunset. The nautical decor added just the right touch to the view of the waterfront. And our host Dan was great about keeping in touch and making sure all our needs were met. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect Place for a Relaxing Getaway

The property was just as presented on Vrbo. It was spacious, well decorated, super clean, and equipped with everything needed for a great vacation. The fishing pier on the property was an added bonus. The cottage owner greeted us the night of arrival and was there if needed. He also recommended a great restaurant (that we visited twice). We hope to return soon and highly recommend this property in this lovely town for you next vacation.

Cozy Cottage

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Bobbie greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour. We also met Dan the next day. The cottage is over the owners’ garage so steps are required for egress. It was beautifully decorated and the grounds were immaculate. The location was perfect for a quick trip to the Beaufort historical district. Several evenings we walked down to the dock to catch the sunset. We had hoped to use the dock to launch our kayaks but with two boats docked there wasn’t much room and the shore wasn’t conducive either due to the sea grass. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Blissful Retreat

If we could stay longer we would! I can't say enough positive things about this listing. The space was perfect for a restful vacation. The apartment was gorgeous, peaceful and close to all amenities. It was 5 minutes to downtown Beaufort, 25 minutes to Hunting Island State Park for a gorgeous beach and hiking, and close to other islands such as Port Royal. Dan was a wonderful host catering to all our needs but also giving us privacy to enjoy our stay. We even got a tour on his boat! We will definitely come back again.
