Cozy Cottage

This cottage is in a quiet neighborhood a few miles from the heart of the downtown area. It is also very close to fast food restaurants. There are several great attractions - we enjoyed the kazoo factory, the historic bus ride in the downtown area, a boat ride to see the dolphins, and the Pat Conroy Literary Center.

Beaufort Stay

Nice welcome with notification when the home was ready. This is a small house good for a couple or small family. Close to Spanish Moss trail in an older Beaufort neighborhood that was quiet. Several options to sit outside and listen to bird song.

Very peacefule

Great little property just adjacent to downtown. Came with Hunting Island passes which added an entire day of new things to do that we had not originally planned. Outdoor patio slab and firepit were great additions to sit by after a long day of showing my spouse around beaufort “i lived her and am trying to convice her to move back” and it worked.

Wonderful little cottage

Wonderful cottage in beautiful Beaufort. The Hunting Island state park was a big plus, we used it a couple of days to relax at the beach after some non stop sightseeing the week before. Check-in was an absolute breeze and the entire place was clean and beautifully presented, beds were super comfortable and soft!
