The house was perfect for our family of 4 with children. It was extremely clean and in an excellent, safe location. The state park pass was invaluable as it gets you through the park gate a bit quicker. Would definitely book again.

Great for a small group. About equidistant from Savannah, Hilton Head and Charleston. Beaufort is a beautiful smaller town as well with a lot of great restaurant options. Also, the rental comes with an included State Park pass that gets you into Hunting Beach State Park (among others) which in our opinion was the best beach of all those we went to and the closest one to the house. Really great value and a beautiful property. We were very grateful for the stay!
