About this property

3 BR/2 Bath Historic District~ 7 Bl to Downtown~20 mins to BEACH/Pass INCL

The Sunshine Cottage was built in 1897 and is located in the historic district of Beaufort, close to downtown and Bay Street. Totally renovated while keeping the low country charm; vaulted ceiling in the living room, makes a spacious and airy gathering area. Open concept dining room and kitchen off of the living room is at the front of the house with 3 bedrooms tucked off a central hallway towards the back of the house making for a quiet respite.

The MBR has a queen bed with top of the line mattress with hotel quality sheets and duvet. Side tables and a full dresser/mirror and a large closet. The master en-suite has been totally updated with a tiled floor and shower as well as a pocket door for privacy.

The 2nd bedroom is at the very back of the house and has a full size bed, dresser, closet and side tables. While the 3rd bedroom is a combination space of twin sofa bed, Roku TV and dedicated work space with a desk and ergonomic desk chair. All bedrooms have Hunter fans for comfortable sleeping and sound machines. The hall bathroom has a tiled shower/tub combo with plenty of light streaming in.

Off the back hall is a door to the large paver patio with an umbrella/table and chairs for outdoor dining, a weber style grill and a fire pit and chairs for cooler weather fires. Two adirondack chairs with a side table complete seating for 6 on the patio. The cottage has plenty of street parking; the neighbors leave the space directly in front of the cottage for guest use.

Hunting Island is a 20 minute drive and boasts an amazing state park beach; we provide a state park beach pass for guest use. We supply 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs for your use; guests must bring their own beach towels and other beach gear. Walking downtown is a 10 minute walk; slower if you pause to take in the beautiful bay and the historic homes along the walk.

The cottage is well appointed for short or longer stays since this is our families’ home away from home and we mean for it to be yours as well. The kitchen has everything you need to cook including oils, spices etc. Coffee and a drip coffee maker is provided. There’s a coffee grinder and french press as well. Gas stove, dishwasher and a large refrigerator round out the galley style kitchen. We provide towels, linens, extra pillows and blankets for our guests.

We have 2 Smart TVs/ROKU; one in the living room and 1 in the sitting room/3rd bedroom w/ sofa bed (twin). You can easily stream your Netflix movies using your login as well as other apps. We provide HULU, MAX,and, Paramount+. We ask that guests do NOT sign out of the provided streaming services..

The cottage has a wide porch with rocking chairs and side tables for relaxing and reading with a large potted palm, camellias and azaleas .

PLEASE NOTE: Any violation of house rules, including but not limited to unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets or animals, smoking including vaping indoors, parties or large gatherings as well as use of premises for filming will be grounds for immediate cancellation and removal from the property. Though we live in Hendersonville, NC, our local property manager is available during your stay and we are just a call or text away. Thank you for taking your time to take a look at our cottage and we look forward to having you as our guests soon!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Elliott Kaeding

Host profile image
I have been a public school teacher for 20+ years and currently teach ELA/EC at Hendersonville Middle School in NC. We moved to WNC in 2016 and love living in the mountains. What better than to also find a 2nd home near the ocean. After searching for a cottage in the historic downtown area for 4 years, we found this little gem of a house. We live in the Asheville NC area but wanted a 2nd home near the ocean and walkable to beautiful downtown Beaufort!

Why they chose this property

This cottage was built in 1896 and has been renovated to have all the modern amenties. We love that it has 3 bedrooms and 2 nicely renovated bathrooms. Most of the properties we saw had only 1 bathroom. The high open ceiling when entering the cottage gives it a light and airy space with plenty of room for the living room, dining room and kitchen to have an open concept. The neighbors are great and it's a community where people know and care about their 'family' of neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Our 2+ BR/2 Bath cottage is located in a real neighborhood, one which has a history of neighbor caring for neighbor. You'll find it easy to fit right in, walk everywhere and enjoy the beautiful historic Beaufort downtown.
Since this is our 2nd home, we will be continually upgrading and improving the cottage. I'm a garderner and will be bringing in palm trees as well as native plants to create a relaxing patio and front porch area.

When you stay at our cottage, you become part of a community. Walk or bike to downtown easily. We will make every effort to make your stay a great one! We own other rental properties and have very satisfied tenants/guests.
