About this property
Cozy Cottage in the Heart of Historic District!
Adorable cottage with all the comforts of home. Within walking distance to shopping, dining and the waterfront park of Beaufort, SC. I have been a VRBO host for over 10 years, I know what you want.
This adorable home is a quirky little 2 bedroom 1 bath 1940's cottage located in the heart of Historic Downtown Beaufort.
We have completed the addition of a beautiful, private, back yard patio.
From this location, you can easily walk to our gorgeous waterfront park where there are lots of restaurants, galleries, and shops. There are porch swings lining the waterfront and it is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the ‘yacht parade’ on the Beaufort River, which is part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The Point neighborhood, filled with antebellum mansions used in the filming of many movies, is just 4 blocks to the east and a wonderful area for leisurely strolls.
Inside the house there is central AC (and heat), as well as whisper quiet ceiling fans in the living room and both bedrooms. It has a cozy living room with a 40' Sony Bravia flat panel TV, and a DVD player.
The kitchen is large and bright and has been completely redone with a glass top electric range, dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, and a stacked washer/dryer unit. All cabinets and countertops are new, with a deep stainless steel sink and a pull down spray faucet. All pots, pans, dishes, glassware, flatware, and necessary gadgets are provided - as are small appliances like a coffee maker, toaster, blender, and a hand mixer. The kitchen is also stocked with staples such as salt and pepper, coffee, tea, and sugar - just to name some. We found a cute little 'nesting' table and 2 chairs for casual dining.
The master bedroom has the finest King size brand new in the fall of 2024 mattress and boxsprings with 100% cotton high thread sheets and fluffy new pillows. We have switched out all of our King bedding to white European Duvet & Shams during the cooler months - IF we have any - so there will still be the high thread count sheets, but instead of our white cotton Matelassé Coverlets, now you will have a duvet cover and shams. These are washed and changed between guest. It's more work, but it as we discovered, it is a better sleeping experience!
The second bedroom has a Queen bed with the same mattress, except that it is a Queen.
There is one bathroom, and while it isn't large, it is bright and fresh and comes stocked with plenty of 100% cotton fluffy towels. Amenities and a blow dryer are also provided.
The private patio has a dining table with 4 chairs and an umbrella, and 2 chaise lounges and a huge umbrella at the other end. It is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Cozy Duke Cottage was just right for two of us during our first visit to Beaufort. It was within easy walking distance to the waterfront and to other historic neighborhoods. The backyard offered a quiet place to read while enjoying the warm weather. We didn't cook anything other than some eggs, but the kitchen seemed equipped to handle simple meal prep. We appreciated the binder of information, the pass to Hunting State Park (!), the great supply of paper goods, trash bags, soaps, bug repellent and some pantry items. The king bed was very comfortable, sheets and towels were great and there was plenty of hot water. Property manager Melissa was very helpful.
Check-in was easy, and the king sized bed was comfortable. The living room was cozy and the tv was nice to unwind after a long day. The internet is sufficiently fast. The location was great as well. I definitely won’t mind staying here again next time I’m in town.
House was perfect for my husband and I and our little dog. Booking was easy and the property owners were very responsive prior to our stay on anything we had questions about.
The Historic District cottage was warm, welcoming, beautifully decorated with an eclectic feel, well appointed and clean. I especially loved the private outdoor patio space. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a well lit home and soft music playing on the TV…What a wonderful welcome after a long car ride! The host provided an organized and thorough binder of information about dining options, grocery stores, places of interest to visit, etc. As for location, the cottage was perfect…Just a few blocks to the downtown historic waterfront with a multitude of restaurants and shops.
Stayed at this property with my Dad and my dog. It was perfect for us. Walking distance to downtown and the waterfront with a fenced back yard for Spot. Manager made check in easy and touched base with us to make sure everything was good. Pictures are accurate representation and we would definitely stay here again.
My daughter & I had the most enjoyable stay. We walked to downtown every morning for coffee & danish. We sat on one of the many swings & enjoyed our coffee while looking out at the ocean. It was so peaceful!
The cottage is within easy walking distance of downtown Beaufort and historic neighborhoods. It was nice to be able to make our own breakfast and lunches. And the host had very helpful information about what to see and do in Beaufort .
The house is small but very efficient and well appointed. We enjoyed it very much. It is easy walking distance to downtown and most activities. The property manager is quick to respond and very helpful. We will rent again.
