Great location, easy to access… three bedrooms, three beds, two bathrooms… four towels for a weeks stay. Host kept in contact up to point we told them the beach access was expired and had to pay our own way in to beach when it was suppose to come with house. Outside that house was cute well decorated house and stocked with everything your need for cooking. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful town. As is the case for must short term rentals we provide a bath towel and hand towel for each guest,(and other towels in the closets.. up to 6 guests/towels in this house) when staying more than a few days it is assumed you will use the laundry facilities on site. The price and service in short term rentals cannot compete with the service in Hotels where the linens are replaced every day. As noted in your review communication was good … except with the beach pass . Please excuse me if I missed your request but I believe that was not reported untill your review at the end.

I’m pleased to say this might be one of our favorite VRBO stays that we’ve ever had, and that saying a lot! What a beautiful property… so well situated, and so near to everything. One of the most well stocked kitchens, too! We can’t believe the opportunity to be able to sit on the marsh morning and evening. If we’re in this area, we would definitely choose this house again.

We are foodies and the kitchen was wonderful. We had people over for shrimp from Sea Eagle market. The only suggestion I would have for the kitchen is a shrimp de-veiner as we forgot ours. The bike trail is a short distance and the morning views of the marsh were wonderful.

The cottage was perfect! It provided plenty of room and was stocked with all the essentials. Loved the kitchen! Location was very convenient to downtown for shopping and dining options. We used the provided pass to visit Hunting Island State park. It was our favorite day!! Our last evening was chilly so we took advantage of the backyard fire pit. Truly enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and attractive. The salt marsh behind the house attracts egrets and adds to the peacefulness of the neighborhood. The interior is very clean and comfy. The kitchen is very well equipped. Julie, our host was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant. We really enjoyed the Beaufort area. We would happily return to Beaufort and to this home.

House was very cute and in a perfect location. I didn’t like that there is only one door in and out of the house. Also could use some more comfortable living room furniture. It did have everything we needed for a short stay. We did meet the owner because we arrived a little early. She was doing yard work and was very nice and willing to help in anyway she could.

The host was very welcoming and made it clear we could reach out anytime if we needed anything. Our stay was originally Tuesday to Friday, but extending it by two extra days was no problem at all, which we truly appreciated. Our son was graduating from Parris Island, so the location was perfect. They even provided a Hunting Island Beach park pass, which saved us from paying entrance fees. The backyard was my favorite part of the stay, and all amenities were in great working condition. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
