About this property

Totally Renovated Waterfront Cottage, Snowbird's Paradise, Boater's Dream

Welcome to Port Royal Landing! We're so glad you've decided to explore the Low Country and stay with us. Beaufort/Port Royal has so much to offer. Our completely renovated cottage is the perfect spot for you to come to relax and explore everything the Low Country has waiting for you. In the mornings, watch for the most amazing sunrises over the water as the sun peeks over the horizon directly outside the back of the house. In the evenings, sit back on the deck or sun porch and enjoy the breeze. Watch the vast marsh life at all times of day right from the back deck - various birds, including ibis, herons, egrets and pelicans; dolphins hunting and swimming; and even the occasional alligator slowly gliding through the marsh grass. Turn your cell phone off and let all the stresses of your day to day just melt away. The house is comfortably suited with enough room for 3 couples or a family. Enjoy spacious and open rooms that are well appointed with everything to make your stay enjoyable. We've fully stocked the house, complete with a well-stocked kitchen where even the family chef will feel right at home. Extended rental and snowbird special 25% off.

Port Royal Landing is a wonderful little neighborhood filled with wonderful people. You may just come back year after year to see your new friends. A marina, shop and newly renovated restaurant and bar (Fall 2019) are just a few steps away. Bring your boat to Port Royal Landing marina where weekly/monthly slips are available at a very reasonable price and you'll never have to step into your car the whole time you're here. This really is a fisherman's and sailor's paradise. By water, downtown Beaufort and the city dock is only a few minutes north and downtown Port Royal is a few minutes south. Hilton Head is just beyond with Charleston and Savannah all an easy days’ sail.

If you'd rather spend the day lounging on a secluded beach or walking the sand looking for shells and driftwood, Hunting Island Park is just a short drive away. The hiking here is like no other as you wander through the many trails that feel like you are in a tropical, prehistoric fairyland. We've provided a year round pass for your use which gives access to the park free of charge (one carload). Downtown Beaufort and Port Royal have everything you could want if you do decide to venture off the water. Find phenomenal food, drinks, shopping, and lazy park swings at the waterfront. The surrounding area is kid-friendly with a number of parks just a few minutes’ drive. Entrances to the Spanish Moss Trail are only a few minutes from the house as well. And not to be missed is the Port Royal Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings (9am-12noon) where you can find a fantastic assortment of fresh, seasonal produce along with local coffee, sweet tea, baked goods, fresh pasta and so much more!

The entire Beaufort/Port Royal area is rich in history having been influenced first by the Spaniards, then the French and finally the English. There also is no other comparable place to see the unique Gullah culture, both in craft and food (www.bonappetit.com/story/bj-dennis-gullah-geechee). Visit www.beaufortsc.org/guides/history for more information. Historic Bluffton is also a great quick trip with history, shopping and great food.

If you're visiting for a military graduation, welcome and congratulations! The gate for Parris Island is a short 8 minute drive from the house. The patriotism of the area is apparent and nothing gets our attention more than the sound and rush as fighter jets thunder overhead on a regular basis. We're a military family and are grateful for you and your loved one's service. Ask about a military discount.

Pilots can fly into Frogmore International (KARW) just across the water. Ask and we'll be happy to help make arrangements for a car and tiedown service at the FBO.

Sorry no smoking. No motorcycles, trailers, or boats in the driveway due to neighborhood covenants. We're happy to help arrange parking in the marina parking lot.

Great Property

This was one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at. Great location close to many of the area attractions. The property itself was very comfortable and had anything you might need. We hope to stay there again.

A Million Dollar View

The owners took great care to renovate this lovely home. It is located in a planned communtiy with a restaurant and a marina. The location was so convenient to shops, restaurants and the towns of Port Royal and Beaufort. We have been wintering there for 12 years and this was one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have had the pleasure of staying in for 2 months.

The Perfect Vacation

Easy check in and house was perfect. Location was great and close to many islands, towns and adventures. We enjoyed shopping in Beaufort, Sands Island and walking in Port Royal, Huntington island lighthouse and so much more. Great places to eat nearby and plenty of stores. The neighbors were all pleasant and the marina next door had great food. The perfect vacation.

South Carolina coast

This was our first time visiting the South Carolina coast rather than going all the way to Florida. We highly recommend it if you like to get awary from the touristy areas and enjoy the southern hospitality. We really enjoyed the small town atmosphere with plenty of activities available.

Perfect!!

This house was perfect. The views were beautiful. The house is super nice, spacious, and very well designed. There was plenty of room for us. The location is perfect. It’s close to Beaufort, downtown Port Royal, and it’s a nice drive out to the islands. The access to the marina next door is easy. If you are bringing your boat, this house plus the marina is a great combination. We can’t wait to book this location again!!!

Perfect getaway

The Port Royal property, with a beautiful view of the water and marina was relaxing and had all we needed for our stay. Able to take a quiet walk/run in the morning. It was a perfect place to visit the local historic area, plus a short travel to Hilton Head and Charleston. Couldn't have asked for more!

Fantastic Location and View

We had a wonderful time! The view is amazing, and the sunrises are worth getting up early to see. The cottage is near downtown Beaufort, Port Royal, and Dataw Island where we keep our boat year round. However, we kept our boat at the marina during our stay. The marina staff were very easy to work with. It was nice to be able to walk down to the boat while we’re were staying at the cottage. Thanks Joshua and Stephanie!

Beautiful home! Plenty of room.

We loved staying in this home. It was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. Our favorite spot was on the back deck over looking the water. It is about 5-7 minutes from Parris Island, making it prefect for families coming in for graduation. The owners have been amazing to work with. We will stay here again in the future!

Great family spring break

Our family had a wonderful week at this property. The house is exactly as it appears online. The porches are so nice and give lots of options to have different groups of people to use. We had a toddler with us and he loved the porch areas, especially the little lizards on the outdoor porch! The kitchen is great for cooking and had anything you may need. Would definitely stay again. A very relaxing week in a beautiful area!

Beautiful home - superior location on the intracoastal waterway.

Our family spent a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful home. The Florida room was specially attractive. We enjoy cooking so the renovated kitchen was perfect, particularly the gas stove. The master bath had one of the neatest walk-in showers we have seen. Everything one needs is close by - food stores, shops, and of course Beaufort with its neat restaurants. Will definitely return.

This was our first trip to South Carolina and we could not have chosen a better home. We were impressed by the beauty of the neighborhood and the beauty and convenience of the home.

Kyndall’s Graduation from USMC Parris Island

What a beautiful place to gather family members together from Maine to Oregon for our granddaughter’s graduation from boot camp. May I suggest a coffee mug tree out by the coffee station. We played games and caught up on family time as we watched the boats and dolphins in the water way right at the back of the property. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
