Awesome stay, Alison is an amazing host. The Cottage on Congress felt like home, as soon as we walked in the door. Excellently appointed and decorated beautifully. Great location, within easy walking distance to downtown Beaufort. Super clean and pet friendly made it the perfect place for our Easter weekend. We look forward to staying with Alison again.

This is a beautiful home tastefully furnished and decorated. It is more spacious than we expected. It is well equipped for cooking meals. Nice dining room table or counter with stools to sit at. Living room is cozy for watching TV and reading. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with a glass of wine in the evenings. Master bedroom was comfortable with king bed, large walk in closet and bathroom with double vanity and nice shower. The second bed/bath also very nice.The cottage is located on the edge of the historic district. We drove to the downtown area which only took a few minutes.We loved staying here for 5 nights. Felt very much at home. Allison was a perfect host.

All the rooms were clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The restoration was well done and allows the home to offer the charm of the past with all the modern conveniences. The house is in a perfect location for all that Beaufort and the surrounding area have to offer. Communication with the host was timely and very much appreciated. We hope to return to the area and when we do this home will definitely be our first choice.

This house is a gem - exquisitely restored, designed and decorated. There is great attention to detail - whatever you might think you need, it is there! The kitchen is well provisioned with high quality cookware and dishes. The towels were excellent (and plentiful, if you have more than our 2 staying). Everything was clean and neat. Despite being near a major road into town a half block away, the house is quiet, especially at night. The porch is a wonderful respite on a nice day - with rocking chairs and swings (and overhead fans if you need them). The house is right across the street from Magnolia for an easy breakfast or lunch. The neighborhood is clearly in transition, with a new house right behind, and a derelict boarded-up one just down the street; but this should not discourage you. The area felt very safe and comfortable; and a short drive or longish walk to downtown or the historic area. There is a book full of ideas for things to do or places to eat - very helpful. Alison was pro-active and responsive, though we had no problems for her to solve! Check-in was easy. I can think of NO negatives; we had a lovely stay and were happy to come "home" every day.

We always want to stay here when we visit. Enjoyed the beach, dining out and walking downtown. The local library down the street provided researcher appointments and was a great addition to this trip. Already booked again for fall tours. Terri

About the host

Hosted by Alison

Host profile image
Bill & I are originally from Atlanta, Ga, but 20 years ago we moved to South Florida to open a new business. However, our long term plan is to retire to beautiful, historic Beaufort one day. We felt renovating this home was the 1st step towards are journey to living in Beaufort. We hope you enjoy & love this area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

As our contractor put it "this house is one of the last greatest saves". We fell in love with the home, even though it needed LOTS of work. We feel like we have restored a bit of history and added our footprint the wonderful historic area of Beaufort.
