Location, location, location…

This is a great property within a few blocks of all the downtown restaurants and waterfront. It is also just down from the library, near the Cultural Arts Center (great programs and movies), museums, and many historic sites. There is ample room to entertain (table seats 8), and the little front porch is an extra bonus. We are glad we stayed there.

Convenient location

Perfect location. Easy walking to downtown shops and restaurants. Easy to get to Port Royal, Hunting Island State Park. House needs some repairs, luggage racks. Comfortable for two but would be tight for more. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Mermaid Cottage (John)

Originally from Canada, we moved to Beaufort over 20 years ago to raise our family. We love our beautiful waterfront town, full of charm and southern hospitality!

Why they chose this property

We love to travel and have enjoyed staying in many short term rentals. We can keep our family together and get a real feel for where we are. We want you to feel the same and have a home away from home experience. We strive to offer everything you would need to have a comfortable, relaxing stay. Two Bikes available for use, please bring your helmets with you.

What makes this property unique

Park your car when you arrive and you really don't need to drive again until you head home. Walk to the river for a swing or fishing! Walk to many restaurants, dine-in, or take out! Walk to shops and even a little grocer downtown. Larger grocers are a short drive away.
