This was a truly wonderful stay at a charming home in Port Royal, SC.The hosts were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our trip easy and enjoyable. Their hospitality was top-notch, helping us with everything from recommendations for great local places to eat to arranging an early check-in when our travel plans unexpectedly changed.The house itself is cute and quaint, situated on a quiet street. It comfortably sleeps seven and offers plenty of room for everyone, ensuring a relaxing and uncrowded stay.Whether you're in the area for business or for a special family occasion—such as attending a Marine graduation ceremony—this is the perfect place to stay. We would highly recommend it!

This house was absolutely perfect for our son’s Marine boot camp graduation!! It was less than a 5 minute drive to Parris Island, which is huge when you need to be at the base by 5:30am. The house was immaculate and located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Great outdoor space to hang out after graduation!! If you’re looking for a place to stay for graduation, you found it!!

The fridge was clean with an ice maker and filtered water. We used the Keurig, tea pot, a pan to make scrambled eggs - lots of mug choices as well.

My grandson graduated from the Marines this week. It rained the whole time. Seven of us stayed here. We had more family come for a bbq because a restaurant couldn’t accommodate a large family crowd. This property was the most “well stocked” warm and beautifully decorated home we’ve ever stayed at. I highly recommend this home for a Marine Graduation!

Parris Island for Our Marine’s Graduation

Perfect stay for Parris Island families. Traveled with my family of four and my parents and on our last night our Marine had a comfortable bed to sleep in and was able to have a sleepover with her little cousins in their own area. We cooked and ordered in. The home was stocked and made it easy. 😊 Everything we needed to enjoy each other’s company and be spread out. Clean and in neighborhood and took us 10 minutes to get to the main gate at Parris Island. Highly recommend this property.

The house was gorgeous. Everything we could need was there I highly recommend if you were going for a graduation to your Marines that you booked this place they are very accommodating. The house was so clean. Usually I don’t like staying anywhere but my home, but this place made us feel right at home, we left some stuff there and they mailed it to us which is awesome because we were already 400 miles away before we realized thank you Scott and Melissa for letting us stay in your beautiful home for my sons Marine graduation.

Self Care and Relaxation

My wife and I were truly grateful that we were able to book this wonderful hidden gem in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood that’s just a hop skip and jump for many historical places, great home town restaurants like the Olde School House Restaurant , the Fish-camp on 11 street and Sands Beach which serves as a great place to spend time on the waterfront and fish. The management staff member Ms. Michelle was so kind that she and her assistants along with her 4 year old granddaughter surprised me by singing happy birthday . I would definitely recommend this venue to all my friends.

Port Royal is a great place to stay

We had one couple, one Mom, and 4 young adult/teens and this house was too small. But if you have couples then yes it can fit 6 comfortably. Open floor plan Livingroom/ Dining and kitchen was nice. The grill is not in the best shape and only partial worked. Neighbors were caught staring several times we thought they were friendly and wanted to conversate but when we said hello they just stared through the window. Not sure if they didn’t like multicultural families or don’t like the home being a rental. I loved spending time with my Marine, and we made many memories. Totally recommend 11th St Fish house. We always go there for the view and food.
