Perfect space for a quick visit to the area. Not really walking distance to downtown and that was the only downfall. We thought it was closer. Home was clean and well down.
Beautiful family get away. From Ohio. Came to via older daughter and grandkids in SC with other kids. Perfect for vacation and relaxation. Close to town and beach. Shops and restaurants not far drive. Clean, stocked and updated, host was very communicative on response fast. We will be back yearly!!!
We were in Beaufort to attend our son’s military funeral. Shane and Lisa were wonderful hosts, even leaving flowers and a sympathy card for us on arrival. House itself was immaculate and included everything we needed for our stay. Great location in Beaufort, also. Everything we needed was less than 15 minutes away.
At the last minute we decided to cancel out hotel and vrbo at the Trailside retreat, excellent location in Beaufort close to town and for us Parris Island as we were going to family day and graduation. The host was superb and offered great recommendations. The home was perfect with all the amenities that you would need at home away from home. Sad we did not have the luxury of a few extra days to exlpore the area. Highly recommend!
Loved everything about this home! It is in a premier location (downtown, restaurants, beach, stores). Home was impeccably clean. The bed was nice and comfortable! Communication with the host was spot on! In addition, we were greeted with a nice bottle of Moscato! We will definitely book again!
This was a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable with enough room for my family. Conveniently located around restaurants and things to do. Our host was the most who was attentive from start to finish. I couldn't have been more pleased. Residential neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the backyard was very enjoyable as my family gathered around the fire pit to catch up and remen
First time ever going to Beaufort and wasn’t sure what to expect. My husband and I brought my three teenage boys and we had a blast. The house is conveniently located to town (and town has all the necessities and plenty of yummy restaurants and places to shop). It was about a half hour to Hunting Beach State Park which was a great way to spend a morning, playing in the warm Atlantic waves. The Spanish moss trail is nearby and next time we are bringing bikes or scooters so we can see more of it, so beautiful! The house was nicely stocked with all we needed to cook some of our meals, do our laundry and even play games on a super rainy evening. Everything was clean, communication with Shane was quick and helpful, and we all enjoyed a good nights rest each night. Can’t wait to come back!
The house was absolutely filthy which had nothing to do with the storm that rolled through a week earlier. The back wooden deck was rotted and my chair leg went through the deck as I was sitting in it. We stripped the beds and washed everything when we got there because absolutely EVERYTHING was filthy. Shane tried to state the condition of the deck was storm related but it was from years of neglect as every time it rained it pored from the roof onto the deck as there were no gutters on the back of the house. I lived in Beaufort for 17 years so I’m well aware of what storms there can do to properties but the absolute filth in this home had nothing to do with the storm, it hadn’t been cleaned in over a year given the amount of dust and dirt that had collected on everything. I will never rent from this company again

500 plus stays across multiple platforms and this is our first EVER 1 star review. This was the first guest post Hurricane Helene 75% of the town was without power 5 plus days. We cleaned the house with power on only half the cleaning. The 'filth' refferd to was dust behind the couch in which was pulled out and a photo sent to me a day after their stay ended. We had 40' of fence taken out at this house during the storm and the deck was damaged. We missed the damage on the deck while we were cleaning up the fence but its been fixed. I was faced with a decision to cancel the stay with no where for them to go as the hotels with power were full or let them stay. I chose to let them stay I would have felt awful if they had no where to go. Had we been notified at anytime during the stay that cleanliness was off we would have immediately deployed our cleaners to rectify any situation. This guest simply didnt afford us the opportunity. 500 pls stays with an outstanding reputation and I suppose there will always be that one person you cant make happy.
