Quiet and great location. Convenient to downtown and the beach at Hunting Island state park. If you are looking for a quiet, low key couple’s getaway this is the place for you. Host also provided a pass to hunting island state park which was nice. Really enjoyed our time here. Hope to go back again.

Just like the description. Beautiful property; great hosts. Close to Beaufort. Grab a bite at the Foolish Frog down the street and from coffee from the shop close by as well. Perfect for our short stay!

It was a great, clean small space for my husband and I visiting the island for a friend's wedding this past weekend. Despite the rain, we enjoyed the small cozy space to rest up before and after the event. We'd like to visit again with better weather!

We highly recommend this listing. The accommodations are beautiful and on point. They have thought of everything. If I had to choose a negative, it would be the internet service. It was very spotty. We were only there two nights , so we really didn’t care about that. We would definitely go back. Beautiful property

Studio over garage with steep stairs for access, no place to relax outside, some mold inside shower and no cooking accommodations such as small stove. Nothing mentioned the staircase. I would not have chosen had I known. Carport blocked so could not get out of weather. Hostess was very nice and beautiful setting but nothing like what I expected after viewing on line. A bit disappointed since this was my bucket list after dealing with severe health problems.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 October 2026
Yikes, 3 stars, that’s like the dentist saying you have a cavity. I guess I have to reply to this. First, I’d like to thank all our guests that have rated our Carriage house 5 stars for the past 10 years, thank you very much. I’d also like to thank the 4 or 5 reviewers that have rated us 4 stars, thank you. Now to the only 3 star review. I’ll do one step at a time. IF, you took the time to look at the VRBO web site, you will see the pictures, and a list of amenities of where you will be staying. The pictures clearly show the steps going up to the cottage. It also shows the kitchenet with a small refridgerator, microwave and sink, with cherry cabinets. If there was mold in the shower, we must have missed it with the toothbrush. We pride ourselves on keeping the place very clean. We have 2 nice rocking chairs and a glass table under the car port for our guests to enjoy a glass of wine or soda while viewing all the birds and deer around the pond with the fountain. Perhaps next time, you should do a bit more research on the property you’d like to book. I hope your health problems get better, bless your heart.

This is an A VRBO! It is a garage apartment that is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had a very nice kitchen that was perfect with a microwave, kitchen sink, and small refrigerator. The location is very convenient between Beaufort and the Sea Islands. Our host was very attentive and we will definitely return!

Everything was perfect for our mini vacation to just get away for a few days. It was very peaceful especially watching the deer and other wildlife that visited the lake. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. This was our second time staying there and we enjoyed every second both times.
