Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Beaufort
We discovered Historic Downtown Beaufort after being driven off Hilton Head Island due to traffic and crowds. The very first visit was enough for us to invest in the area. We spent two plus years looking before we decided to invest in 811 Audusta Place on the Beaufort River. Although we preferred deep water, we settled for the view and free launching and boat access to the River 1/4 mile down the street. The neighborhood (Pigeon Pt.) is slowly regentrifying into a perfect long or short term residential area.
We have a beautiful park within two blocks, well maintained tennis courts within a 10 minute walk, recreational ball fields about 5 blocks away, the National Cemetery adjoining the neighborhood, and Hisoric Downtown Beaufort a mere 5 minute bike ride away.
Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort (The sound you hear overhead is "The sound of Freedom!") are only 15 minutes to either gate. If you are a retiree, you should check out the new commissary and exchange on Parris Island. If you play golf, retired or not, you are welcome to play the Parris Island Golf Course for a very reasonable green fee. AND, YOU CAN WALK!
You should sleep soundly, as there is no noise to contend with. No adjacent hotel rooms with adjoining rooms. No required presence for breakfast at "their" serving times, no clutter or uncomfortable furniture.
You should sleep soundly in a quiet setting, and wake up to your own schedule, your favorite brand of your coffee, and a sunrise setting along the Beaufort River at Audusta Place
in Pigeon Point. Come stay with us! You'll love it!!!
Owner's Map of Beaufort
Real Estate developer and Naval Aviator, who has always taken pride in taking on a project in a superior location and bringing it back to life for others to enjoy. We try to think of everything and welcome constructive comments and criticism. If you ask for it and we can make it better, it will be done.
Audusta Place is almost a surreal setting on the Beaufort River. You would never know how nice it was if you didn't stay here once! A drive by simply doesn't give you a feel for how warm and comfortable this home is. We strive for cleanliness, convenience and lots of entertainment. With flat screens in two rooms, a dynamic surround system, a fully equipped kitchen, and very comfortable bedding, you should feel right at home with a breathtaking view of the Beaufort River and InterCoastal.
The "View" is breathtaking and at the same time very relaxing. The location phenomenal. We welcome small special events such as outside wedding parties for a nominal "grounds" charge. Sorry, special events not permitted if the house is being used by guests.

John, what a perfect place to welcome-in 2012! From the tastefully appointed cottage ...to discovering new restaurants/shops/strolling the boardwalk & local beaches. It all exceeded our expectations. I found the people of Beaufort to be one of its best assets - very friendly and helpful! And oh my gosh...that million dollar view!!! It was like watching an ever-changing watercolor painting just outside our windows... unforgettable!

My husband and I stayed here while visiting Beaufort this past spring. We had spent the previous year living in the area and wanted to return for a visit. The accommodations were as described and better than the photos represented. Positives: Great location just north of downtown Beaufort with quick access to Lady's Island, Parris Island and downtown shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was great to walk our dog in and includes a park and public deep-water boat launch just 1/4 mile from the cottage. The facility was very well maintained and perfectly clean. The overall character of the place was very nice, historic, tastefully decorated, well appointed and offered a pristine view of the Beaufort River. This was an ideal rental property for two people on a getaway, doable if you had kids but probably not a good option for two couples. I strongly recommend this facility if you appreciate a great view, neighborhood charm and well cared for grounds and building. We look forward to staying here in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful, comfortable cottage. The cottage is very nicely furnished - right down to the perfect lighting in every room. We were content to relax in the living room with an amazing view of the river and we also enjoyed exploring downtown which is a short drive away. One evening at dusk, we built a fire in the firepit and watched the last light fade away over the river. Our meals were memorable (dinner at Saltus and lunch at Wren's and Plum) as well as the meals we prepared in the home's cozy kitchen. We fell in love with Beaufort - the area is so graceful and beautiful. We look forward to coming back in the spring and summer when we can enjoy the outdoors even more.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is immaculate and luxurious, in a peaceful setting only minutes from downtown Beaufort. I enjoyed walking in the neighborhood, and kayaking with Kim and David at Beaufort Kayaking. Also spent a fun evening at the drive-in theater on Route 21. (How often do you get to do that these days?) Highly recommend a trip to Hunting Island, and a meal at Sweetgrass Cafe at Dataw Marina (make a reservation, and you can get a pass to drive into the private, gated community where it is located). All in all, it was a restful, relaxing week, filled with gorgeous views. Thanks, John, for making this special place available. I hope to return soon!
Owner response:Thank you Elinor and so glad you enjoyed the stay. I always smile when I get the comments "Even better than the pictures!", as I make the same comment to everyone considering a stay at "The Riverfront Cottage". Tell all your friends and come stay with us again. John Leggett/Owner

This was the perfect place for our vacation! We rode our bikes to town and around the neighborhoods, went crabbing, and kayaked nearby. A wonderful getaway and the cottage offered the perfect environment to relax- and the view from the living room and kitchen is absolutely breathtaking! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience and an awesome cottage!

John, the cottage was perfect! We came over for the shrimp festival and had such a great time, your place is a little piece of heaven on earth. The view is wonderful and the location was so close to town we rode our bikes everywhere. We will be back next year if not sooner! Thank you for a great place to stay! Tom and Debbie
