About this property

Renovated and walking distance to Downtown

This is a new listing (February 2015) of our renovated cottage downtown Beaufort. Since this listing is new, we dont have any reviews yet to provide to you from our guests. But we also own listing number 470407 which was totally renovated in 2013. Please check out the reviews of the salmon cottage to get an idea how much we care about our guests and cottages. Please also check out the salmon cottage in case this one is already booked.

This cottage was completely renovated in 2014 / 2015 and is in heart of the National Historic District of Beaufort and only a 10 minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants and only a 2 minute walk to Bay Street and the Beaufort River. It is also only a short drive to Paris Island Marine Corps Station.

The cottage features a queen size bed and one full size bathroom as well as a fully equipped kitchen.

The cottage also has a front porch with a wicker bench plus a little table and a back patio with patio furniture for relaxing in the evening.

We provide all linens and towels to our guests.

Internet / WIFI access is also available.

We also provide our guests with a passport to the Hunting Island State Park and Beach.

Since there is no land line phone in the cottage, a cell phone is a must for emergencies or to contact us during your stay for any problems or questions.

Parking is available in front of the cottage.

We take pride in our cottage, so we have arranged a cleaning service to clean after your stay. They will also wash and dry linens and towels and replace them for the next guests. The $60 fee is an addition to the rental fee.

We look forward to having you as our guest.

I am a local REALTOR and would love to assist you in your search for a property in and around Beaufort and the beaches of Harbor Island and Fripp Island!! I only live a few minutes away from the cottage and can be available during your stay!

Great Location and House

The location is great - it is only a couple of blocks to the waterfront, and a very short walk into town. The house is nice, clean, and the listing was very accurate. We would definitely stay here again.

Charming cottage

We enjoyed the charm of this cottage. It was easy walking distance to the restaurants along the bay. The bay itself is only a block away and visible from the front porch. The host was very communicative and helpful. There is a nice bakery/coffee shop just across the street.

The Little Purple Cottage

This cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay in Beaufort! The cottage was spotless clean and with the exception of our personal items, everything we could need was there! We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch in the evening! It was peaceful and quiet. I hope to return to Beaufort in the near future and would definitely like to stay in this cottage again!

Well done!

First time to the Beaufort area and wanted to be near the water and the downtown district. This location fit both perfectly. No surprises, the descriptions and photos depicted the property accurately. Communication with the owner was returned in a timely manner and she answered questions we had. Check in and check out were easy enough with door codes. Bonus: the owners provided a hangtag/parking pass for the South Carolina state parks in the area. We did use it going out to hunting island and it’s a nice touch. I haven’t seen in other rentals. there was a coffee shop right outside the front door across the block as well as the waterfront. Driving to the downtown area was just a few minutes and easy.

My down time

Overall it was good. Several light bulbs were missing. Earrings left behind on night stand with dust on it goes to how well it was cleaned. Pull chain for fan laying on night stand. Light kit messed up so the other chain was hard to pull. Front door with the security lock has to be held in the right place for the door to lock, so the door needs adjusting. Last is the TV situation which is ridiculous. We stayed in one of the other cottages with the same TV situation and I got it to work easily as directions stated. For this cottage however the directions doesn't line up as the button it calls for is not listed on either controls.

Lovely, quiet cottage in walking distance to the water and downtown Beaufort. Comfortable bed and just the right size for 2 of us. Our only issue was that the shower was either scalding or freezing, it was impossible to regulate.

Beaufort beauty

As good a location for accessing historic Beaufort as you can find, especially for the price. While some of the property around it is a little run down, overall it is safe and quiet. The house is tight for more than 2.

A little slice of heaven

Beaufort, South Carolina is like a little Florida town. Right on the water, amazing people and amazing sites. If you are going to visit Paris Island, stay in Beaufort. Although when we stayed, the town was shut down because of ice and snow. The purple house that we stayed at, was amazing. Center of town, cozy little home. We will be staying here again.

Perfect cottage for two.

Immaculate. Short walk to downtown but the architecture along the way may make you wish it were longer (take Craven Street, the houses are particularly beautiful). Steps from Herban Market, an excellent coffee shop and cafe.

About the host

Hosted by Nadine OQuinn

Host profile image
I live in Beaufort and absolutely love the Lowcountry and all it has to offer from a beautiful scenery to the lowcountry boil or also known as Frogmore Stew - ask me what it is and I will tell you all about it!!

I am also a local Realtor and work primarily in the Beaufort area along with the beaches of Harbor Island and Fripp Island!! I own a few vacation rentals that I fixed up myself and manage myself as well.

If you are looking to re-locate to this area or if you simply fall in love with the Lowcountry and would like to own a piece of paradise, I would be happy to assist you in finding your dream home or home away from home!!!

Why they chose this property

I highly recommend this property to anybody that likes to experience the downtown living but yet wants to enjoy peace and quiet. The cottage is only a 10 minute stroll along the water to downtown Beaufort. And for all our guests that come and visit Beaufort for military graduation, the cottage is only a 10-12 minute drive away from Paris Island!
