Perfect for us

Great property! The location was perfect for the weekend moving our college student in. We could walk to dorms and loved the availability of extra parking since we had 2 vehicles the first night. Will for sure look to see if this place or their other one is available when we come to visit.

Trip to visit my Marine daughter that is stationed there

This place was awesome! My daughter is stationed there and I went to visit. It was perfect we each had our own rooms, and having a stocked kitchen was huge for us. I was able to cook and only needed to get groceries and spices. We were able to do laundry which was awesome I didn't have to bring back dirty clothes and was able to get my daughters done as well so she didn't have to worry about it when she was back on base. We used the beach pass and loved it. Great stay, great location would definitely stay again.

Beaufort vacation

We came down for a quick visit and to show our friend from CO the low country. This was the perfect location! Not only was the place the perfect size and so accommodating, the location was exactly what we were looking for to explore and see all of the city. Walking distance around the historical district and to Bay St. couldn’t have been easier. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away and enjoy what Beaufort has to offer. Melissa was so helpful to allow us a little extra time for our tour to end to exit the house that it made leaving and packing up less stressful. Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay!

Cozy & Comfortable

This cozy apartment was very clean and comfortable, a real home away from home. It was conveniently located, walking distance to the main downtown area in Beaufort but far from noisy roads and events. It is located right above Magnolia Cafe which offers delicious options for breakfast and lunch. It’s spacious enough to sleep a family of 4 or 5 and has all the essentials to stay in and cook if desired. We will definitely keep it on our list for future visits.

The location is at the edge of downtown making it quiet but walkable, about 12 minutes walk to the downtown marina and restaurants. Not once were we 2 ladies concerned about our safety and we are both danger aware from larger cities. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and appliances you need including coffee, tea, creamer, filters etc. The shared laundry includes detergent. The 2 bedrooms gave us privacy for different sleep schedules at an affordable rate. My daughter raved about how comfortable the queen in the larger bedroom was. I was fine with the double bed and pillows. It also includes beach towels -for Hunting Island beach, (the free passes were such a nice perk), not across the street, hair dryer, shampoos, conditioners. Be aware it is a little hike up the stairs with luggage if you have any disabilities. Everything is very convenient, even sojourns into the various islands. The National Cemetery is a short walk away. We had a 5 night stay and it was the perfect solution for us.

Wunderschönes Beaufort

Eine wunderschöne FeWo in zentraler Lage zum Stadtkern ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß und unmittelbarer Lage zum Fluss. Sehr schöne ruhige FeWo, leider ist das Café/ die Bäckerei , nicht wie im Inserat beschrieben , jetzt schon länger geschlossen und auch die unbewohnten Nachbarhäuser wirken nicht heimelig. Aber die nähere Umgebung lädt dann doch auch zu einem Abendspaziergang ein , toller Südstaatenflair .

Excellent communication prior to our stay. Great location! Place was clean, private and secure. Kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed our stay so much that we stayed extra days. Arranging additional days to our rental was easy to do. It was convenient to the main part of town yet far enough away for peace and quiet. The bikes provided were an added bonus! There were a couple of things that we felt could be improved. The condo, especially the furnishings, need to be updated. The couch was very worn in living room. The AC unit worked well in one bedroom but not very well in the other one. We plan on visiting area a few times in the next year or so and we’ll definitely consider this property when booking lodging!

A great place to recover from long days on the beach!

I took my nephew on a fishing trip to Hunting Island and Edisto Island for a week. This apartment was a great place for us to relax and recover from long days of fishing. No complaints!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 1987. It consisted of 1 office and 3 long-term residential rentals. in 1997 we added the Magnolia Bakery Cafe and Garden Gift Gallery. (now paused in business) The original building was built in the 1950's and has been upgraded several times.
In 2016 we converted Suite A (1 bedroom) to short-term rental as a test. With overwhelming positive response in 2018 we converted Suite B (2 bedroom) to short-term rentals. Please see VRBO #912215 for our current 5 Star Reviews.

What makes this property unique

This property has cool river breezes, large southern Magnolias and Spanish Moss covered oak trees It is within walking distance to the historic Old Point (across the street) Downtown, the Waterfront Park and sweeping views of the Intercostal Waterway.
There is reserved parking directly in front for both A & B units but if that is taken there is extra parking beside and behind the building. Both units have 2 bicycles each together with free Beach passes at Hunting Island State Park
