Loved, loved, loved this beautiful little cottage. It was the perfect location. Everything we could have possibly needed was there when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable and the showers were great. The little restaurant right across the street, Magnolia Cafe, was delightful.

Wonderful rental in downtown Beaufort with great kitchen for entertaining and cooking meals. Magnolia Cafe across the street is so sweet. Sit outside and sip coffee with a view of the river. We always book this each year and find the house has everything we need. The owner is always prompt with responses and questions when we reach out! We often eat out downtown and make the drive to explore Hunting Island. The downtown area has wonderful shops and historical homes to see.

This is a beautiful home tastefully furnished and decorated. It is more spacious than we expected. It is well equipped for cooking meals. Nice dining room table or counter with stools to sit at. Living room is cozy for watching TV and reading. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with a glass of wine in the evenings. Master bedroom was comfortable with king bed, large walk in closet and bathroom with double vanity and nice shower. The second bed/bath also very nice.The cottage is located on the edge of the historic district. We drove to the downtown area which only took a few minutes.We loved staying here for 5 nights. Felt very much at home. Allison was a perfect host.

Awesome stay, Alison is an amazing host. The Cottage on Congress felt like home, as soon as we walked in the door. Excellently appointed and decorated beautifully. Great location, within easy walking distance to downtown Beaufort. Super clean and pet friendly made it the perfect place for our Easter weekend. We look forward to staying with Alison again.

This house is a gem - exquisitely restored, designed and decorated. There is great attention to detail - whatever you might think you need, it is there! The kitchen is well provisioned with high quality cookware and dishes. The towels were excellent (and plentiful, if you have more than our 2 staying). Everything was clean and neat. Despite being near a major road into town a half block away, the house is quiet, especially at night. The porch is a wonderful respite on a nice day - with rocking chairs and swings (and overhead fans if you need them). The house is right across the street from Magnolia for an easy breakfast or lunch. The neighborhood is clearly in transition, with a new house right behind, and a derelict boarded-up one just down the street; but this should not discourage you. The area felt very safe and comfortable; and a short drive or longish walk to downtown or the historic area. There is a book full of ideas for things to do or places to eat - very helpful. Alison was pro-active and responsive, though we had no problems for her to solve! Check-in was easy. I can think of NO negatives; we had a lovely stay and were happy to come "home" every day.

This rental is the Gold standard when compared to the many VRBO's we've rented in the past. The renovations expertly championed the home into modern times without losing it's historic charm. The host has done an superb job anticipating every client's needs.The comfortable furnishings were selected specifically to accommodate the open floor plan, in contrast with many other rentals appearing to be furnished with grandma's hand me downs. The kitchen was stocked as well as our own. The proprietors provide ample kitchen supplies and toiletries. We are currently reviewing our calendar for our next visit.

This property was immaculate and I cannot wait to rebook for next year!! The proximity to downtown is a perfect short walk and I love for the front porch and swings. It was also so nice to actually go somewhere else and be able to feel like you were in your own kitchen cooking and not have to take anything else with you. The gas range and perfectly sharpened knives were such a nice surprise. There's also your washer and dryer on property so we were able to clean our clothes before I left. It made unpacking with children. So much easier. We also found it beautifully decorated and it was easy enough to childproof the house for our 14-month-old.

This was our 3rd time staying at this sweet house. It is so comfortable and welcoming. The house is furnished with everything you need (I love the washer and dryer). We really like the location. We can see the marsh and Beaufort river from the front porch and it is walkable to downtown. We also love driving to the surrounding islands. There is so much to do and see in and around Beaufort! The host communicates with you before you arrive and is easy to get in touch with if anything is needed. We hope to stay here a 4th time someday!
