Perfect Couples Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely carriage house. It was professionally decorated, very comfortable, and clean. We have stayed here several time and we hope to go back again. It is close to Beaufort SC and Fripp Island SC which were our destinations. We always enjoy our stay at Birdfoot!

Carriage House Weekend

Loved this quaint Carriage house for a Wedding Guest Weekend on St Helena Island! It was close enough to Beaufort for shopping, but only minutes from the venue and Dataw Island where I hosted a luncheon. The amenities were great, and the property was beautiful! We would stay again!!

This is our second time staying here. By far one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. Everything you need is here. Very convenient to downtown Beaufort, Port Royal and all that makes the Port Royal Sound area fun. Great place, we would recommend to anyone! Can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I recently stayed at the absolutely delightful property. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the Beaufort, SC, area. This is the first VRBO/AB&B listed property we’ve rented that exceeded what was promised in the listing. If you’re looking for a quiet,convenient, comfortable and picturesque vacation rental; this is it!

Clean, decent location

Overall this was a very nice place for us to stay while visiting the area for our son’s graduation at Parris Island. I will say, I felt like the hosts could have been a bit more welcoming and I think the sink area in the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner along with the mirror in the bathroom. But overall it was fine for what we needed it for.

Comfortable, clean, very nice furnishings, all kitchen and bathroom necessities provided, beautiful view overlooking pond and fountain, away from heavy traffic but convenient for driving to Beaufort and Port Royal. There was no need to contact our hosts but they were right next door if we had needed them.
