Simply Sweet

We had a wonderful time in this very clean, very accessible, well-thought out home. Check-in was easy, location was only a few minutes away from the waterfront park and restaurants, and the property manager even left us a little gift bag with information about the area, restaurants, and local events. We will definitely stay here again!

We are looking forward to staying at this location again in the future. It is a superb home away from home. A hidden gem in the Beaufort area. Booking was a breeze. Communicating with the owner was easy. As stated earlier, we look forward to staying at the Anchor House again.

Girl’s Trip

Loved staying at the Anchor House. It had everything we needed and was located close to everything we were interested in seeing and doing. The furnishings kept with the theme of the Anchor House. Most had a story behind them and were very interesting. We also appreciated the park pass. Hunting Island State Park is beautiful. We hope to stay here again on a return trip.

Charming, Quiet, Convenient

This darling little VRBO cottage was perfect for me and my husband. The house was clean and updated with everything in good, working condition. The washer & dryer were a great bonus! Loved the updated bathroom with roomy walk in shower! We made good use of the bikes and annual pass to Hunting Island State Park. We would definitely consider returning to this location.

This place is absolutely amazing. We didn't understand the bicycles as part of the listing until we found The Spanish Moss Trail. The location with the bike path makes this house incredible. The X-Mas decorations were a lovely touch. I loved this house and will probably be back!!!!!

Exploring Beaufort

The property was just as described. Loved the decor and the history of the antiques in and outside the home. My husband and I visited Beaufort for the first time searching for the right location for our next home. This rental provided the perfect spot to head to historic downtown, Port Royal, the nearby Sea Islands and Hunting Island State Park. We will not hesitate to rent from this management company again.

This is a perfect house if you like to bike and walk

Besides being cute and clean, the location was perfect for biking. The house came with bikes and we were about 1/4 of a mile from the bike path. My husband and I rode almost every morning. In addition, town was a mile away. Since we don’t mind walking, we were able to avoid parking issues in town. Finally, the house also came with high end beach chairs and a parking pass to the state beach which we drove to often. The location only got 4 stars because it was behind Ribault street, as well as near the EMS headquarters. As a result, it is noisy at night.
