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.

My wife and I spent October 1st-3rd 2010 at this beautiful little cottage and we will definatley be coming back if they will have us! It was not only beautifully decorated and extremely clean but the owners were extemely friendly and courteous. We rate this amoung one of the best places we have ever stayed and being we have travled alot in the last 20 years and stayed many places that says alot. We would say at a hotel level it is definatley 5 stars for us. Thank you Sonnie and your husband for allowing us to stay at your place and we will be back to Beaufort again so you may have us wanting to book again next year:) Tom and Diane VB

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Owner response:We really enjoyed having you and your Grandaughter is so beautiful and sweet to go along with it! Thank you for such a nice review and I look forward to having you as our guest again real soon. Beaufort is made for people just like you!

Not a great experience

Review Submitted: 07/11/10
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.
Owner response:I am very sorry that she felt she had to exaggerate this experience. She may have seen a palmetto bug because we do have them here in the south expecially when people leave food laying around. I did immediately offer to have a professional exterinator come out right away. However, she continued to stress how terrified she was of a palmetto bug and stated she would leaving. I never, never told her to get out. I just hope the Days Inn didn't have any bugs.
