Good location. Walking distance to downtown and tour sites. Great to have a parking space off -street, so no need for pay for parking. Clean , well lit interior with all amenities. Note: 2-ply toilet paper, a real plus!! Suggest that a step-by-step process be printed for operating the TV ( for the electronically challenged).

The charming cottage provided my family with easy access to downtown Beaufort and spaces for us to gather in (living and dining room). The front porch also created additional space to sit and talk. We greatly appreciated the location, parking spaces for 2 cars, fully loaded kitchen, washer/dryer, decor, and spacious bedrooms. Overall, a great place that has historic charm!

This is our third time at this property. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great - very accommodating. Immediate response to every inquiry. Easy walk to downtown and parking right at the rental property. We hope to return again next year. The only thing that could have been better was the ice machine was not working. We hope it is repaired by next year. Certainly wasn’t a dealbreaker as we managed just fine. This is an awesome property.
