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

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.
