Visited Beaufort for my father’s 80th surprise birthday party who lives in town and did not want to stay in a hotel. The Mermaid Cottage was perfect for my wife and daughter for our stay. It’s a quiet neighborhood and close to my family and all the great things Beaufort has to offer.

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage which is within walking distance to the Spanish Moss Trail. It is in an ideal location to both Beaufort, Port Royal and the islands. There are many good restaurants to choose from in and the proximity to Publix was a plus. The cottage was perfect for us. The owners offered many generous amenities such as use of a bike, Huntington Park pass, coffees, etc. to take advantage of during our stay. The backyard is lovely, and the street is peaceful. It was lovely to awaken to peace and quiet with the sound of birds. We love Beauford and will absolutely stay at this cottage again.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage is in a quiet neighborhood a few miles from the heart of the downtown area. It is also very close to fast food restaurants. There are several great attractions - we enjoyed the kazoo factory, the historic bus ride in the downtown area, a boat ride to see the dolphins, and the Pat Conroy Literary Center.
