Sallyanne's place was perfect for our weekend getaway! Very clean, comfortable and a great location. Sallyanne was excellent with communication and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again!
Yes, it was very welcoming to pets. Food and water dishes were available, and the huge, private, fully-fenced side yard was great for our pup. She also loved the front porch which was gated on both ends. She liked looking down on the world from the second floor. There was plenty of parking available for us, our guests, and the downstairs resident.
My family was delighted with so many thoughtful touches Sallyanne had throughout the home. Everything was very clean and modern. Games for the children to play and a large yard to run around in. Highly recommend this rental. We would stay here again without a doubt!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting you all and im glad you enjoyed your trip
Very nice and accommodating owner. We rented in order to visit family on the area and didn't do any sightseeing. House was easy to drive to and from other parts of the island. Property is well taken care of and furnished nicely.
Clean, cozy, easy. Billeting was exactly as described. Check in process was extremely easy and the hostess was the personification of hospitality. Would highly recommend.
My husband and I stayed with our small dog for a few days before moving into our new home on Lady's Island. This was a great location for us - close to grocery stores, Grayco, and restaurants. Sallyanne's place is clean, comfortable and exactly as described. We recommend it!
Sallyanne offers a clean and comfortable space from which to explore beautiful Beaufort. She is very responsive to requests and works hard to attend to her guests. It's also located in a very convenient location.

Thank you for those kind words Noreen. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and apologize for the cleaner's lack of attention however appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
The coffee maker wouldn’t work and she immediately had another one delivered. The location was great. It was near everything. I would definitely stay here again!
We had a fantastic time at this property. The owner was super helpful and very friendly and down to earth. The people who live below were also fantastic and super helpful with tips of places to check out around the area. Our pups loved the backyard and the pass to Hunting Island was amazing!! It’s a beautiful place close to the beach and also about an hour from Savannah and Charleston. We would definitely stay again!

What great and patient guests. Most tolerant of late cleaning - thank you. Would definitely love to see you again.
Our stay was great. The host was very quick
To respond to any questions we had. The house was kept up and very clean on arrival. With a large fenced in yard we were able to let our pet run around with no worries. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Karen for those kind words and I hope you have the opportunity to do so again
We came to Lady Island to explore the history and charm of South Carolina’s low country. This property is ten minutes from Beaufort and an hour to ninety minutes from other areas like Hilton Head, Savannah and Charleston. This is also a great place for your fur babies who can run and play in a fenced area.Our host was gracious and responsive to any needs or questions about the area. So, if your going to explore the history of this area, the numerous state parks or simply chill out you will not be disappointed with this property.

Thank you for the feedback on your stay and thank you for being so accommodating
This was a nice place to stay. Very clean and comfortable in a very quiet setting and pretty close to the Marine Bases that I was there for. Beaufort is a nice place and very quaint. The owner is very through and really very detailed. She had a binder detailing everything in area, phone numbers, park and restaurants, etc. The house has everything one would need from all bathroom supplies,kitchen supplies and every appliance. Supplied coffee,paper towels, toilet paper, all linens.... absolutely everything covered. We needed to buy nothing. Thanks so Much!!!! We will certainly stay here again when in town seeing our son.
This was the perfect getaway for our family of four plus a dog. The large fenced in yard was a great place for our dog to run around. Everything was included, which made for easy packing, especially considering our 13 hour drive. After our daily excursions, which were never more than a half hour drive with this convenient location, we always looked forward to sitting on the porch with a drink. Although you can hear the traffic from the busy road, we felt for the price and the location, we didn't mind the traffic sound. The house is on a large property that sits at the end of a glorious quintessential southern road, perfect for early morning runs/walks. Sallyanne, our gracious host, was most accessible when we reached out to her. We plan on coming back here!

Morning. Thank you so much for the review. The road became like background noise for me whenI was there which is why I forget to mention it is by a thoroughfare so I am glad it did not disturb you too much. Thank you for filling up the coffee. I will remember to ask my future guests if they have enough in the future lol. Glad you enjoyed and look forward to having you back.
Everything at the cottage was perfect for our use. We were coming from a long distance and arrived late, but were able to get in using the lockbox. The kitchen table was great for working. The beds (including the couch) were comfortable and the rooms dark enough to sleep. We come from a city, so it was a treat to be able to let our dog enjoy the big backyard. One of the gates didn't latch but we barricaded it from the inside when in use. We made extensive use of the kitchen, which seemed to have just the pans, etc., we needed (including a bullet for smoothies), plus flour and sugar canisters for those like us who don't go a week without baking. We made an effort to be thoughtful about how we parked, but at one point we had 3 cars and there was space for all of them. I could go on and on, but bottom line is that it suited us (4 adults, one 6 yo, and a dog) perfectly, the host was lovely, and we had a great time.

Thank you for that lovely review. I was unaware of the gate not latching - I am so sorry and thank you for letting me know. I will get that sorted out.
The property is very clean and the pictures don't do it justice. We stayed here while picking up our Marine from Parris Island, and it was the best! Close to base, and a great value. You can't beat it. The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was there! Thank you SallyAnne!
It was as advertised. Nice for Marine Corp. graduation ceremonies. 20 minutes from the base. I'd stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Sallyanne Holmes
I am a fully licensed Realtor in the State of Colorado and South Carolina. I bought this property as I intend to retire down there some day. Beautiful Beaufort has to much to offer. I have put a lot of t.l.c., "blood, sweat and tears" into Wallace rd with new furniture, new appliances, paint inside and out because I feel she deserved it after years of being neglected. If there is anything 'missing' that you think should be in the unit please do not hesitate to contact me. I am always open to suggestions. My objective is to have you enjoy her as much as I have whilst working on her.
