Fit Our Needs Perfectly!

This house was immaculately clean. Very comfortable bed. Cute as a bunny rabbit. Near enough to downtown Beaufort. Nice floors. Quiet neighborhood. Tiny tv, only one shower, sofa sits like a church pew. Overall, a very good stay for two people. Four could be a little crowded.

Owner response:We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your comments. We are continually upgrading as able. We have added a comfy sofa to the living room and fireplace experience, upgraded internet access and kitchen appliance. Economy willing, TV is next! Our goal is to provide true comfort for our guests to return home after adventure and exploration of a community rich with daily choices.

Beautiful cottage for family to stay for Marine graduation

Guest: Darlene, Joe, & Ivy (Iowa City, IA)
Date of Stay: 10/05/11 Review Submitted: 10/10/11

We loved the beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay for the Marine graduation. My sister and family from New York and my husband and I from Iowa were able to really relax and easily travel to Parris Island (a 10 minute drive to the island at 5:30 am) for my nephew's graduation. Our dog loved the house and easily-walkable neighborhood. The huge closets were great for 5 people's stuff. The photos were wonderful for finding it in the dark on our first night. It was clean; Eric brought us more towels on request. A side trip to Savannah was easily done one evening. We bought shrimp at CJ's Seafood and cooked it for our supper our last evening--everything we needed was supplied in the kitchen. There are several enticing restaurants in the area. I recommend renting again!

Our home, while waiting for our house to be built

My husband and I spent one month in this Pidgeon Point cottage this year, while waiting for our new house in Beaufort to be finished. The accommodations were perfect for our two spaniels and us. The living/dining area is a good size, as are the two bedrooms. The large walk in closest were especially useful since we had brought quite a few things for our one month stay. The kitchen is very workable and there is plenty of counter space and anything you might need for cooking meals. The area is terrific. We took our dogs for very long walks every day and were awed by the neighborhood, as well as downtown Beaufort (which is less than 2 miles away) and the homes in The Point, less than one mile away. The cottage felt like home the first night we were there and it made our move far less stressful than if we had stayed in a hotel. I was working from the cottage and the Internet connection we had installed worked perfectly fine. I would highly recommend this charming home to any Beaufort visitors.

Perfect for Marines graduate families & vacation!!!

We just got back today from a wonderful week long stay at this cottage. We came for my daughters Parris Island graduation. It was very cute & clean!! It had everything you needed to make you confortable & feel like you were at home. It has all the kitchen necessities to cook meals & clean up afterwards. It has much more room than it appears in the pictures. Very well decorated also! I loved the artwork & wall colors. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. Close enough to downtown for convenience but far enough away from traffic noise. There is a nearby park for the kiddies also. The owner is very nice & helpful, but also provides you with your privacy for an enjoyful stay. Beaufort is located in the center of most of the area attractions & is a perfect place for a wonderful vacation. I would love to come to come back again!! No more hotels for me. VRBO is wonderful!!

Charm, Location and Great Photography

Guest: DMT (Alexandria, Virginia)
Date of Stay: 08/22/10 Review Submitted: 10/06/10

We (my wife and I and our 2-year old) recently spent a wonderful week in the cottage enjoying Beaufort and the Low Country. Eric and Jan were perfect hosts - they never intruded though we knew that they were right next door if we needed them. For those who enjoy cooking, there is a full range of kitchen utensils and pots and pans. The neighborhood is quiet, and the cottage makes a great base of operations for your exploration of Beaufort and the Low Country. The cottage is charming and was the perfect size for the three of us. And last but not least, as someone who is an avid photographer, Eric is one of the best I've seen, and some of his stunning nature photography graces the walls of the cottage. The photographs and the cottage serve as a unique introduction to the natural beauty and wonders of the Low Country.

Great Getaway

Date of Stay: 07/26/10 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

We recently made a return visit to Beaufort for a 4 day getaway. We had stayed at Hunting Island previously, but the erosion had destroyed our rental there. We were fortunate to find this great accommodation in town. Very spacious, well located and every attention to detail (cleanliness, equipment, artwork), made this a perfect stay.Great neighborhood for a walk, especially to see the beautiful early morning sunrise. It was nice having quick access to town and we made the trip out to Hunting Island in under a half an hour. We would definitely return for a visit. Very close by we enjoyed Shoofly for a quick lunch and SuZara's for wonderful take away bread and deserts. Great hosts.

A Home Away From Home...

Guest: Michie_L (Boone, NC)
Date of Stay: 04/07/10 Review Submitted: 04/28/10

We stayed in this house when my brother graduated from Parris Island. The house is absolutely adorable and immaculate. Very cozy and comes with everything you could possibly need. We felt right at home and so did our dogs. House is in a great location... has a neighborhood feel, yet close to town, water and attractions (best one being the Museum at Parris Island!). Owners are very helpful and even offered us a military discount. Thanks Eric and Jan for allowing us to rent your wonderful property!

Owner response:Michelle, Thank you so much for your glowing review of our house. Of course ya'll were the perfect guests so the feeling are mutual and you are welcome anytime!

We hate to leave today because we feel like we just got settled in. This place is great. My husband and I, 10 yr-old son and two dogs have been here for 4 days and have really enjoyed ourselves. The location is great and we walked the dogs everywhere and got a great feel for neighborhood. Boat dock had lovely views and my son fished. Pigeon Point Park is lovely and playground is outstanding. Live oaks everywhere. Downtown is a decent walk but again it is so nice to look at houses and get a feel for things. People have been nicest we have ever encountered. Everyone is SO NICE!! And if you want to get in a car Hunting Island beach is like 20 minutes, Hilton Head about 40 minutes, Savannah maybe an hour, Charleston about the same. All worth a visit. House itself is great. Adorable place with owner's awesome photographs. Kitchen had everything we could ask for, ample space. We spent a lot of time on screened in back porch. Coffee in morning, wine in evening. We will definitely be back and will stay longer.

If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is it. It is roomy and yet cozy and the walls are adorned with the owner's professional photographs of beautiful, local wildlife and nature scenes. The neighborhood is very quiet and the streets are perfect for walks or biking. We spent our Thanksgiving '09 weekend here and would recommend it to all.
