Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
Hello My name is Sally Germer. I'm not originally from the south, but I got here as quick as I could. I was born and raised in St. Louis and moved here 14 years ago.
I am a Realtor, Licensed Residental COntractor, Professional Stager and have 2 years of Interior Design Education.
Why the Owner Chose Beaufort
I built this Duplex in 2002 and originally rented this side long term. I turned it into the Palmetto Moon Cottage in 2006
The Unique Benefits of this Duplex
I've only stayed in my Palmetto Moon Cottage once, after I turned it into a Vacation home, as I wanted to see if it had everything a guest could need. I live next door. I personally take care of all aspects of this Vacation Home and I believe it shows in all the small details.

Dear Sally, I just wanted you to know that Alexis and I visited our Maine at his new station in Oklahoma, I actually found a house to rent there, but was disappointed after my experience with your home! You truly spoiled me Thanks Again

You have certainly outdone yourself! We had the luxury of any major hotel with all the comforts of home. Your home was so tastefully decorated that you even impressed my teenage grandsons. They were ready to move in and they loved how close to the water we were. You truly made a memorable occasion the most pleasant stay it could be. We really appreciat all you thoughtfulness from the chocolates to the local paper. We will forever remember this stay.

Port Royal is a em- Small Town feel-great beach for walking. Every restaurant was worth a second visit. The red door was welcoming and the cottage was more spacious than pictured. The accomodations worked perfectly.
Positive Rating
Sally, Your Hospitality always makes your places feel more like home than a rental unit. I eally appreciate your thoughtful extra touches. Christmas here with my children was lovely, and I leave with a real sense of regret, feeling that I'm leaving a little bit of home. Thanks for everything, we'll be back

We came here for some family time, reuniting with our son, who just returned from a deployment in the Navy. He has been aboard the USS Enterprise, air craft carrier for the last 6 months. It has been great just relaxing and catching up. When we walked in, we were very pleased with the cleanliness and warm welcome feeling we experienced. As we unpacked and began our stay, we found many little touches that made our stay that more pleasant.\Thanks foe the comfortable and reasonable place. We hope to return again when we visit our son who is stationed in Beaufort.

Sally We had a wonderful time in Beaufort. What a gorgeous little town. The wedding of our classmate was absolutely beautiful. The house is so sweet and comfortable. We took full advantage of your DVD collectiona and coffee maker-girls have their priorities. You've decorated beautifully and have thought of all othe right touches. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Ten days of immanculate, thoughtful,total hospitality. From garbage bags to pillow mints! How fortunate we have been to find RED DOOR RENTALS, the classiest, cleanest act in town.\We will-having seen some of your other properties- send all of our friends to Red Door properties- nothing can compare
