The property itself was lovely, well-appointed and very comfortable. We communicated a few minor issues on arrival, and the owner was very quick to respond with apologies for the oversights. Walk to town was .5 mile. Property comes with a very detailed book on sights and restaurants which was helpful, as well as the State Park pass! We would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Gretchen’s home. The communication with both her and her property manager, Melissa, was excellent. They were very responsive, kind and accommodating. The home was just the right size, comfortable, with onsite parking and conveniently located to both the waterfront and historic areas of Beaufort. There was nothing we needed while staying in the home that we could not find and there were lots of little extras provided so that we felt right at home.

So cute and close to town

A two bedroom bungalow is so cute! Spacious kitchen, formal dining room in the living room with two ample size bedrooms. The outside area is great for morning coffee. The street is a little noisy, but not bad. This is an easy and enjoyable walk into town. The neighborhood is really cute, lotta great historic and well kept homes.

It was our first time renting for a months stay. That's a long time to rent site unseen, we were not disappointed. Perfect location, perfect size for two people and our little dog. I loved the kitchen with the checkered floors. Everything I needed to cook with was there and it's so convenient having a washer and dryer. I especially loved the shower, good water pressure. There are two bedrooms we used the bedroom to the right of the bathroom. This mattress was so comfortable, I had to get the name of it from the property manager. Melissa, the property manager was on top of everything. So much so I didn't need to call her for anything. If there were any drawbacks about this property, it is only minor and very fixable. I would replace the couch. It's not very comfortable and its material is pilling. I would also add more pictures on the walls. It looks as though someone started to do that and stopped. I believe this would help make it feel a little "homier" especially in the living room and dining roomWe had to cut our trip short by a week due to an unexpected death in our family. But we would Baby Charles again for sure!!!

This home is very tastefully appointed. The lights and music when we arrived was such a nice touch. We felt like we’d just come home! The location is perfect. Close in but not in the middle of the bustle of Bay Street. Such a lovely area. We were very glad we came.

My wife and I had a wonderful six-night stay in Baby Charles. The location was fantastic, making it easy to stroll into town for coffee, meals, shopping, and bars. Overall, the cottage was very clean. The bathroom and living room were bright and welcoming, simple and comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen much, so I can’t comment, but it seemed well-furnished and ready for most cooking needs. The TV in the living room was nicely sized, but again, we didn’t use it. The beds were comfy, the linens were nice, and there were lots of plush towels. We also received a wealth of local information from books, magazines, and a custom-curated binder that gave us a more personal perspective on things to do, places to eat (and to avoid!), etc. The front porch was bathed in morning sunlight, and the comfortable seating made it the perfect place to start the day. It was great to have the beach towels, chairs, and cooler. We spent a couple of days on the beach even though it was almost mid-November. When we come back, this is where we will be.

We enjoyed our short visit to Beaufort over the 4th of July holiday. Baby Charles property was lovely, comfortable and quiet, nicely decorated and recently renovated.

Great getaway.

The cottage was great and probably one of the cleanest and comfortable lodging we have booked through VRBO. The location was great for walking down to the riverwalk. We experienced some nice restaurants and enjoyed visiting Hunting Island. We hope to return in the future. Melissa is a super host; thank you for everything.
