In the Heart of Beaufort --- Across from the Beaufort River

Located at 1206 Pigeon Point Road in Uptown Beaufort, South Carolina YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! Whether you’re vacationing, moving to Beaufort, or will be working here for an extended period of time, The Tabby Townhome at Magnolia Court is your ideal Home Away from Home! Built of the same tabby construction used by the Spaniards who established the first settlement in the area in 1565, The Tabby Townhome reflects an element of old-world history for which Beaufort is renown. We took care to preserve the solid tabby structure, during the complete renovation of the building -- adding architectural features, hand-hewn shutters, and draping window boxes to set a simple, yet classic, tone. THE TABBY TOWNHOME The Tabby Townhome is comprised of three fully-furnished, privately-accessible suites/apartments -- which may be rented independently or as a whole. This flexibility allows us to meet the needs of large or small groups of travelers. Depending on the size of your group, you can rent one suite or the entire townhome (normal capacity: 10; maximum capacity: 15). The suites in our Townhome are ideal for small family reunions and wedding parties, providing close proximity for all participants in a quiet setting with the bonus of individual privacy -- since they are enclosed under one roof yet each have separate entrances. OUR SUITES THE WEST INDIES is a beautiful loft-style apartment with an open floor plan. The living room and kitchen are downstairs (along with the washer and dryer). The sofa converts to a double bed to accommodate additional short-term visitors. Two additional upholstered chairs provide ample seating in the living room -- which also has a flat-screen TV with DVD/VCR, radio/cassette/disc player, ceiling fan, and telephone. The bedroom and bath --- along with a small study with desk (and secured Wi-fi) --- are upstairs. The bedroom features a king-sized bed, oversized closet, ceiling fan, TV with DVD/VCR, cordless phone, a small sitting area and lots of closet and drawer storage. The large bathroom has a walk-in custom-tiled shower and is equipped with both a rain head and a shower wand. A private European-style patio at the front of this apartment has a patio table, umbrella, and chairs for enjoying the out-of-doors. This is a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee, share a lunch, or read a book. THE MANHATTAN is a ground-floor 2BR/single bath apartment. The great room includes a living area decorated in tones of brown, camel and blue. In addition to a sofa and two upholstered chairs, the living room has the standard coffee and end tables, desk (with secured Wi-Fi), cordless phone, ceiling fan, flat-screen TV. This is joined to the open kitchen by a breakfast bar with granite counter-tops. There is also a gate-leg table with hide-away stools should you wish something more formal than the breakfast bar for dining. The Manhattan has a king-size bed in one bedroom and two twins (plus a pop-up twin trundle) in the other. The bathroom is custom-tiled and has a deep soaker-tub, which is also outfitted as a shower. An alcove off the bathroom houses the washer/dryer and linen cabinet. You can enjoy a quiet afternoon respite on your private porch overlooking our large magnolia tree and its surrounding gardens. THE TUSCAN is a beautiful upstairs apartment with an open floor plan. The living room-kitchen area has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and lives large. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, granite countertops, and lots of cabinet and counter space. An elevated game table with stools doubles as dining space. A utility closet between the living room and kitchen houses the washer/dryer, vacuum, broom, mop, etc. The adjoining living room has a large sofa (queen-size, sleeps 2) plus two side chairs, a desk (with secured Wi-FI), ceiling fan, a flat-screen TV, and cordless phone. There is a queen bed in one bedroom and a double in the other; each bedroom has a flat-screen TV, ceiling fan and cordless phone. The custom-tiled bath (shower is equipped with both a rain head and shower wand) can be accessed from either bedroom. A small private deck, with patio table and chairs, overlooks the side garden ensconced by ivy and bamboo.

SERENE SETTING Our Tabby Townhome at Magnolia Court provides a serene garden setting and quiet respite when you need to get away from it all. Located across the street from a bluff overlooking the Beaufort River, (part of the intra-coastal waterway along the Atlantic Coast), our large, lush front garden provides a welcome outdoor retreat to read, lunch, or just enjoy nature. And shading it all is our hundred-plus year old eponymous magnolia tree! IN THE HEART OF BEAUFORT You'll love all three suites -- but what really sets Magnolia Court apart is our location! You can walk almost everywhere from here! We are in a quiet residential neighborhood, yet just around the corner from the Historic District, shopping and dining. The Tabby Townhome at Magnolia Court is across the street from a bluff overlooking the Beaufort River; one block from Pigeon Point Park with its hundred-year old oak trees, picnic tables, benches, brick walkways and swings; and literally just around the corner from the Historic District. The beautifully renovated Waterfront Park with its unique shops and great restaurants in just a 10-minutes walk. Hunting Island State Park with its picturesque lighthouse, pristine beaches and tidal lagoons is only a 20-minute drive to the east — and we offer our guests a pass for FREE access to the park ( along with a rolling cooler, beach umbrella, towels, and chairs)! Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Station are only a 10-minute drive. We're also centrally located for easy day trips to Charleston (about an hour north) and Hilton Head and Savannah (both about an hour south of Beaufort). A half-mile north -- in the midst of this residential neighborhood -- is a public boat launch (and we have room on-site to store your boat/trailer). Go crabbing, fishing, or just relax and watch the beautiful sunset over the intra-coastal waterway. Beaches --- The Sands (in Port Royal, 10-minutes) and Hunting Island State Park (20-minutes) are an easy drive. The historic cities of Charleston and Savannah are approximately an hour north and south, respectively -- making Magnolia Court and Beaufort a great hub from which you can see it all. Parris Island -- the only military installation where both male and female marine recruits are trained -- is only a 10-minute drive away and, along with Friday morning graduation ceremonies, is accessible to the public for tours.
