The Wren Cottage was a lovely place for an anniversary weekend! The location was very convenient for both walking downtown, through the historic areas, and close to main routes for places that required driving. The cottage felt private and quiet with views of the courtyard gardens from all the windows. The kitchen was well equipped for a few meals in. We are planning our next trip back to Beaufort and hope to stay there again!
Wren Cottage was clean and had all the necessities for our visit. We could walk to food, historical tours, and shopping in a few minutes. The location has easy access for bike rides on the Spanish Moss trail. The cottage was an ideal location.
Great cottage convenient to downtown Beaufort. Had everything we need for a long weekend. Very cute! Great host, communication was quick for any questions. Definitely will stay again!
The Wren was cute as can be! The hosts very gracious .There is storage for luggage so were not falling over our suitcases everyday. Plenty of kitchen supplies and laundry available. We enjoyed our stay in Beauford.
It was great! Very clean! Incredibly efficient space, perfect for two! Well designed and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Great location. Will definitely rebook onour next visit!
When we pulled into the Wren, Emily and Jeremiah were talking to their elderly neighbor on their porch. We immediately recognized a generous hospitality about them and we were right!The Wren is charming: very clean, stocked with everything we needed, and just lovely. Emily communicated clearly prior to our arrival, and answered all of our questions concerning restaurants, beaches and the like when we arrived. Truly, we lacked nothing!We recommend The Wren wholeheartedly, and Beaufort is an idyllic location for nature, history, beaching, boating and golf.10 out of 10.Thanks so much, Emily and Jeremiah!
The Wren was exactly as described, plus very tastefully decorated. Nice quiet bedroom at back of cottage. Hostess was very welcoming and helpful. We are both of short stature and were lent a step stool to help us reach higher shelves. Walking distance to water front and all downtown historical buildings and eating establishments. Thank you Emily for your southern hospitality!
This property was perfection! From the coastal charm of the property to the location to so many wonderful attractions to explore in South Carolina. Our week stay was filled with all the southern hospitality from Emily and her family!
Very conveniently located. Quiet and I felt very safe and secure. The privacy, peacefulness, amenities were all exceptional. Beautiful quaint courtyard. Beautifully landscaped. Nicely decorated interior. Perfect for a couple's romantic get away.
It was an amazing stay with my daughter! The neighborhood had us a little concerned at first with the houses across and down the street, but it was all ok! Loved the ability to walk every where downtown and being so close to the historic district! Would 100% stay there again! Cutest, coziest little cottage ever!
We enjoyed staying at The Wren. Our hosts made us feel welcome and the week flew by. I would recommend this property. Close to Bay St. You could walk on a nice day. Plenty of parking. The Wren was very cosy.
