Clean and Comfortable

Review submitted: January 10, 2013   Date of arrival: December 27, 2012

This is a nice small place with a clean and well equipped kitchen. My only issue was that the bed was very small for two people (and we are not big people). It is not walking distance to the waterfront. But it is a good value. The Plums restaurant had fantastic pizza and lobster bisque. The sheldon ruins are pretty impressive. They are on the way to Charleston. Ask for directions from the visitors center. We also used our garmin.

This is the perfect spot for a cup of tea in secluded splendour with a book.. a place to cook a great meal or talk over new plans with a very old friend. This home was well-appointed with thoughtful touches, great towels, soft sheets and fun details. The location allows for quick access to shopping and a quick return to draped moss and sweet breezes.

Absolutely perfect and charming!

This a small cottage, but adorable and wonderful for anyone on a budget. Owners could not have been more accomodating-late arrival was no problem, cottage was spotless and backyard was available for our dog. Patio wonderful for morning relaxation and coffee. Location was great-5 minutes to historic downtown, and then another 15 minutes to Huntington State Park with cute stops along the way ( bait shop, general store, etc. ). Thank you so much-we can't wait to come back!

What a treat to stay at this quaint little house... It was like staying at a friend's house. It is very nicely decorated and comfortable. We really enjoyed touring the area, visiting places and going to the beach. While in Beaufort, don't miss Barbara Jean's crabcakes!
I recommended this cottage to my friends...

This cottage was ideal for our stay in Beaufort for my son's graduation from Parris Island! I was hooked the moment I stepped in the door. Impeccably clean with an incredible amount of charm! It has everything one could need whether staying for a night or a month which in itself is rare. I cannot wait to get back there for some relaxing "me" time.

What a great place to stay in beautiful Beaufort! The cottage is cozy, clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked. It is located in quiet, safe neighborhood close to downtown and attractions. The rate is very reasonable and the owners are friendly and available to help but also respected my privacy. I highly recommend!

This is my second trip in the past 2 months. I would come every month if I could. The cottage is beautifuuly decorated, clean and very comfortable. My husband and I did not want to come back home.

We plan to return late spring if we can.

we are wrapping up our stay at this cottage. my 11 year old grandaughter and i have had a wonderful time. we are not new to the beaufort area-which by itself is a marvelous and magical destination-but i was fortunate enough to find this quaint little gem tucked safely away outside of downtown. sonnie and greg have been wonderful hosts. the property is exactly as described and far more. the gardens are a work of art, the property well kept and our privacy well guarded.we will stop back and see our new friends as time allows and we hope to be back -once again- as residents of this wonderful place as soon as practical. also---kudos to "GROUPER" our newest restaurant find in OLLIE'S old home---HOLY MOSES WAS THAT EVER A SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!------WHAT AN AWESOME MEAL--THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a great experience

M. (Pickens, SC)
Review submitted: July 11, 2010   Date of arrival: June 16, 2010

The first day I arrived at the cottage I was very happy. I was in town for graduation at Parris Island so I wanted something close but not a hotel and this cottage was everything I wanted. The next morning I woke up to find roaches, four to five roaches exactly, in less than 30 minutes so I left. After I rented a room at the local Days Inn I called the owners to let them know I wouldn’t be staying another night, the phone call wasn’t pleasant. She told me that she would call an exterminator out for me but I told her I wouldn’t be staying there because I’m terrified of roaches. She told me to get out and hung up on me. I was shocked. I didn’t ask for my money back or a free night in the future, I just wanted to let her know that she had a problem that needed to be fixed. My father owns several rental properties so I know things like roaches can be problem sometimes but I just expected her to be nice about the situation. I won’t be back again.

Little "jewel" of Beaufort!

Madetobeamom (Charlotte, NC)
Review submitted: May 19, 2010   Date of arrival: May 14, 2010

After endless hours of scouring the internet. I found this little charming cottage for rent. It's surely hard to find nice, clean and comfortable place to stay for under $100.00 a night. We hit the jackpot with this discovery! This little cottage is situated in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was close to the bay and all that downtown Beaufort has to offer. Just a short drive to Hunting Island state park and beach. We enjoyed our stay so much! Sonnie the hostess was very gracious and hospitable. She offered great advice on places to go and eat in the area. We also loved that we could cook up something of our own in the quaint little kitchen. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay for our anniversary. We'll be back again!

Think again.....

Beanielyn (Leesport, Pa)
Review submitted: January 29, 2010   Date of arrival: January 24, 2010

I just recently got home from this "cottage" and was extremely unhappy with the entire vacation. When it says that it is a cottage, what they really mean is that it is a two room home that is located in a developement. It has a kitchen/livingroon, bedroom, and a small bathroom. In the bathroom, there is a stand up shower, so ladies if you're hoping to have a nice bath, think again. The bed was small which made it a little uncomfortable to sleep in. The second day that we were there, we had come home from our runnings and there was a random car in the driveway that stayed there until the day that we left, leaving off and on. We had arrived on a sunday and had to leave early because of a family emergency. When the husband came to collect the rest of our money, he cut me off and said there was absolutely no way of paying for the house by the night even though we were only going to be there for 4 days. AND if anyone does decide to rent this house, make sure you know exactly how much you owe them yet because of the fact that they told us we owed them double what we really did. It's a good thing I had duplicate checks and had proof of what was sent to her in the first place. Throughout this entire stay, we had not met her once. This vacation was a waste of my time and so were these people. I will never go here again, and I want to warn people so that this doesn't happen to them. The pictures for this house does not do it justice. She left no list of anything that was around to do or anything to see, so I guess it's a good thing that we had a GPS to show us what was around. Good luck to anyone that attempts to stay here.

We had a great time in this cute little cottage! Beaufort has been on my list to visit for a long time and we finally made it. We were there at the peak of the spring gardens. So beautiful! Sonnie and her husband were very welcoming and gave us lots of tips and info on the Beaufort area. Cottage was stocked with everything we needed and the porch was great for morning coffee and viewing their gardens. The cottage is in a great location for day trips to Hunting Island and to Savannah. Next visit we plan on visiting Charleston. We will be back!!

It is very tastefully decorated, cozy, comfortable & has a great selection of movies & books to help you wind down in the evenings. It is very close to Parris Island, downtown Bay Street, restaurants, everything! We look forward to returning again & again!
