About this property

Heart of Historic Bluffton BEST LOCATION, Charming Cottage THIS IS THE ONE

This quaint cottage is in the heart of it all. Close to family-friendly activities and nightlife, located on the main street of Bluffton SC on CALHOUN STREET. Park off street (1) space provided and walk everywhere. 2 blocks to the town dock and Church of the Cross too. There is a park behind the home as well as one block away. The home sits on 1/2 an acre of land with amazing oak trees.

Featuring a renovated bathroom, new living room couch that folds out into an extra bed, full kitchen with EVERYTHING including coffee maker, dishwasher, major appliances and ICE. Grill is provided along with access to laundry if needed. There’s a carport too if additional space is needed (shared with accessory unit).

Park and walk to restaurants, shops, bars and galleries. Located in the heart of Bluffton, 2 blocks to the town dock and the famous Church of the Cross. All of the pictures you see is within steps from the home. It's truly a one of a kind space and location.

You’ll love my place because of the light, the comfy beds and coziness of this home. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

Fast WIFI and helpful property managers on call.

Try the Pearl next door for amazing dinner and drinks, or have breakfast at the Cottage across the street or coffee at Corner Perk at the top of the street. At the end of the street, just 3 blocks away, is the town dock great for watching sunsets. Park once and enjoy Bluffton and the lowcountry. 10 minutes to Hilton Head, 30 to Savannah or Beaufort, come and explore. Be sure to check out the Farmer's Market on Thursdays! We are happy to host you.

We also have a Tesla charging station in the garage for your convenience.

Enjoy!

Beautiful Bluffton

We came to the area for garden tour of Hilton Head and Bluffton and I thought Bluffton looked the better place to stay as I am not into golf. And this location is the perfect spot for a visit. Everything is an easy walk from here: the May River, historic Cross Church and homes, several beautiful parks, shopping, eating, and even live music! Super clean house too!

We are long time Hilton Head residents and are considering moving/building in Old Town Bluffton so wanted to see what it would be like staying in town. Coming directly from our summer home we did not have the opportunity to do a drive by to check out the place so we trusted the photos. Unfortunately the home and property is neglected and needs much repair; but that we could have lived with, and chalked it up to lack of planning on our part. Although we messaged the owner on day 2 of our 11 day stay that their trash was not picked up (for who knows how long); no trash was ever pick up and the outdoor receptacle (that was used by the 4 other tenants staying on the property) stunk to high heaven and was full of maggots. The pictures do not depict, or was it disclosed on the listing, that a dilapidated camper and truck is park and used nightly in the yard just outside one of the bedrooms. We had to clean what must have been years of lint in the dryer vent when we returned to a burning smell throughout the house that luckily did not catch the house on fire. The house smelled like mold throughout (we immediately cleaned and invested in candles and air fresheners); the backdoor was warped shut and few windows even operated. We never ventured in the backyard because the 4 residents of the 3 other rental units occupied that space (a tiny 2 story outbuilding houses 3 people; 2 in the upstairs "unit" and one in the other; and not sure how many live in the camper). Sad experience.

Perfect location

We were in town for the arrival of our first grandchild. We know Bluffton pretty well since our daughter moved here 9 years ago. We thought that Calhoun St would be a good location, and we were right. Lots to do right outside your door. The neighborhood is just lovely, parks galore. May River close by. We had our dog with us and it helped to have such great areas to take him. Loved it. There is a very helpful neighbor next door and she was lovely as well.

In the middle of it all

We enjoyed our one-week stay in the middle of Old Town Bluffton in early March. The home is very well furnished and comfortable with lots of personal touches. It was clean and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants and both weekly farmers' markets. The owner was responsive to messages, as well. Note: It helps to take side roads like Bridge Street to access the property on a busy traffic day. Recognize that you are in the middle of a busy tourist district, but things do quiet down by 10 p.m. The one thing that would make this property better would be more information on-site on how to access the laundry room, recommended things to do, and similar tips. I would stay here again if I was planning a return trip to Bluffton.

The location is outstanding; you can walk all over Old Town Bluffton from the house and never have to get back in your vehicle. It is not a luxury accommodation, but it is clean, comfortable, and ideal for a long weekend. The host was outstanding with communication. We would absolutely stay here again.
