Wonderful stay at Bonny Cottage
Our stay at Bonny Cottage could not have been better! The cottage is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. This was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The cottage is in walkable distance to the many historic sites, restaurants and shops. Ellen met us on our arrival and Introduced us to the cottage and was accessible and communicated throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

Historical Charm and Style
This cottage is a GEM. It has historical significance that the owner has preserved beautifully. The artwork is an arrangement of original pieces painted by the owner who is a very talented portrait artist. So much thought and care has gone into the experience, from the pantry to the bathroom in terms of items to make a stay more comfortable and beautiful.It's both charming and historical, as well as modern and convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen and Mike Tomy

Host profile image
Ellen and Mike Tomy are the owners of Bonny Cottage located on their property 1103 Craven Street, Beaufort, SC. The main house, where Ellen and Mike live, was renovated in 2015 and the cottage was recently renovated in 2019. Mike is a retired architect and a decorated Viet-nam veteran. Ellen is a retired portrait painter.

Why they chose this property

Vacations from Atlanta down to Beaufort every summer to visit family, we bought this property because of our love for architecture, history and Beaufort itself. Ellen's family roots are in South Carolina so it is like coming home to stay.

What makes this property unique

One cannot but feel the presence of happiness and contentment when entering Bonny Cottage. Even before it was renovated, with holes in its floors and dilapidated nature, it was cheerful.
