About this property

TideWatch - A First Class Property. Spectacular views of the Beaufort River.

NEWLY RENOVATED PROPERTY - Please see our other 2 properties for Reviews of our Personal Quality and Character (VRBO - 912215 & 1256916). Do NOT miss booking this adorable cottage. Completely updated + additions! Formerly rented under "Shipwright Cottage" and was almost always rented; sometimes a year in advance. Unique, non smoking home on the Intercostal Waterway, stunning views from the master bedroom, great room, kitchen, dining room and river deck. 150 slip Marina, ships store and (restaurant, "Marker 244" next door)
The house is very sunny, bright, breezy and well appointed with a Coastal Lowcountry historic & beach theme, a little jewel. 2 Bedrooms, 2 full Baths plus a Queen Lazy-boy sleeper. Upgrades include new tile or refinished hard wood floors throughout. Upscale furnishings, window treatments, kitchen appliances, new Sealy Posturepedic bedding, new vented gas fireplace, both exterior decks have been rebuilt and new painting throughout. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL RENTAL, there are very few like it. Very clean, with lots of special touches.
Pass your time sitting on the river deck reading a book from our library with your favorite beverage or just watch the dolphins and boats pass by on the waterway or the the ospreys and pelicans diving for fish to feed their young. You can walk to the marina in just a minute, have cocktails with lunch or dinner at the "Marker 244". You can even charter a fishing boat there. LOWCOUNTRY LIFE AT IT'S FINEST. This is a unique rental property.
TideWatch has one of the best views on the Intercostal waterway. From the water front deck one can see both bridges, 2 marinas and downtown Beaufort. The Yacht & Sailing club sits across the river with sailboat races weekly. TideWatch is the only home on the Village river bluff with the Kitchen, Dining Room and Great Room facing the waterfront. The river deck has table seating for four with plus additional seating,, a chase lounge for sunning, and a cooking center with Weber Gas Grill. Have your meal under the motorized awning on the river deck. Low Country Living at it's best! TideWatch is 5 minutes from Parris Island, Downtown Beaufort, Port Royal and golf courses. 60 minutes to Hilton Head & Savannah,GA. 90 minutes to Charleston. Got a boat? This is the perfect place to rent - The Port Royal Landing & Marina is next door. You could see your boat from our river deck!

Beaufort & Port Royal, towns both rich with history! Discovered by the Spanish in 1514 and chartered by the British in1711. Having flown under Seven Flags and known as the "Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands". In 1562 Captain Jean Ribaut, a French Huguenot sailing for Spain established the first settlement with 150 brave settlers on what's now Parris Island which he named Charlesfort. He said upon his planned return to Spain, "NO FAIRER OR FITTER PLACE TO BE". This still holds true today!

Come for a visit, stay awhile, you won't be disappointed!

P.S. Tenants staying at any of our three Beaufort/Port Royal properties guests earn a discount if they want to stay at the mountain house in Pisgah Forest/Brevard, N.C. Please Goggle VRBO, search #1646978, The White Squirrel Lodge (32 miles Southwest of Asheville,N.C.) Also, while we've not had any issues there is a Ring doorbell camera installed to catch porch pirates. This security camera is not viewed unless there is an issue.

Christmas vacation 2024

TideWatch is an exceptional vacation rental. The owners provided all accommodations that you could possibly want, including, but not limited to places to visit and places to eat. The cleanliness of the house was superb. The views from the back deck with the marina and the boats with the Christmas lights were breathtaking. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend it.David & Diane A.

Great getaway spot

The property was in the perfect location, lending itself to a lot of relaxation. Sitting on the deck and enjoying the breeze in the evenings gave way to great conversations. The cottage was just the right size and provided the right amenities for our short stay. A return stay is likely in our future.

Annual trip to Beaufort.

This was our 3rd Stay at Tidewatch. We love this house and how available the owners were to us before our trip and while we were there. We love the marina and the fact we can quickly walk there. The views are wonderful. We miss that view when we return to Kentucky. Thanks to Mark and Melissa!
