Pros: Great location. Nice decor and vibe. Condo: bad mattress, very noisy, owner changes a huge cleaning fee and then gives you a list of things you need to clean before you leave.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of town. The cottage is tastefully decorated. Both bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms are nice too. Has a small kitchen but everything one would need. Perfect for two friends or two couples. Convenient downtown location where one can easily walk to shopping, restaurants and sights. Parking right next to cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Wonderful stay

The cottage was very lovely and so was the stay. The location was perfect; walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the bay. Beach and hiking a short drive away. After all the sightseeing and visiting, it was so nice to return to the comfort and quiet of our cottage.

A small,cozy and comfortable cottage perfect for a brief stay in Beaufort. The location is perfect for accessing downtown shops and eateries. Next door to a nice coffee shop and across the street from upscale restaurants. Highly recommend for short duration visits to this sea island and historic town.
