The best place to stay!! Rented this for family to stay for our wedding and it was the best decision I made. Host is the most helpful and went above and beyond to provide the best experience. Best location in Beaufort and so many amenities within beaucoast. My granny said it was the most comfortable mattress she has ever slept on too!!

Great house in a quiet location. Convenient to downtown. Would stay there again! FYI, the listing needs to be updated for the price of the golf cart and the lack of a whirlpool.

What a lovely property! At first sight, you understand why it is called the Mermaid Cottage. The interior is inviting and beautifully decorated. Everything you need to relax is provided, no reason not to enjoy your stay. We were so happy that we booked the Mermaid Cottage for next year.

We had a great stay. The place is exactly as listed. It was clean, comfortable, and the perfect location. Would have been nice if the pool was open, but not the owner’s fault.We played Pickleball everyday and had fun driving around in the golf cart!

Loved mermaid cottage and Beaufort

The cottage is amazing and extremely clean. Great space and the location the downtown Beaufort can’t be beat. Great pool area for adults and kids. Being able to add the golf cart was great for us as we had family staying in other homes in Beau coast. Host is great and always answered any questions we had. Already looking forward to returning.

It was clean and well stocked. It offered plenty of space for our group and the neighborhood was nice. Two minor issues: The garage code to get in did not work but once in the house there is an opener that is available. Only 6 washcloths and towels were provided. Reusing a towel is not a problem but it’s not sanitary to reuse the washcloths. I ended up washing them to use again. Our biggest issue was there were no instructions for the pool. We found a key fob and figured out was for the pool. We went to the pool that we passed on our way in but were unable to get in. Our daughter who has special needs was upset when we could not get in at the pool. I had to contact the owner to find out what the problem was which is when we learned there is a second pool that renters have to use. That pool is nice but doesn’t have a water slide like the other one Our daughter was still disappointed she couldn’t go to that one even though we explained it. We wish we could have avoided the whole situation and would have had there been instructions on which pool we were suppose to use. Hope this helps keep other children from being disappointed. A simple note explaining would fix the issue. All in all it was a nice place to stay.

Wish we could have stayed longer

We thoroughly Enjoyed our stay. It was just too short. We would have liked to have spent r time at the pool and clubhouse to play ping pong and see what else they had there. We gotI to eat st our fave restaurant Beaufort Grocery and go out for our favorite cruise with Lookout Cruises . All in all a nice weekend.
