This was definitely our best VRBO stay ever! From the cute, whimsical decor to the well-stocked kitchen and baths, we appreciated the owner's thoughtfulness and attention to details. Hope to be back one day!
Our 3rd stay and certainly not our last. Perfect location, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. Alison & Bill think of everything to make their guests feel welcome. We would not consider staying anywhere else when we visit.

Thank you! We love it when our guest are happy! Thanks for being such a great guest! Hope to see you again!!
The overall excellence of the home’s amenities made living there a breeze. The kitchen was well outfitted as were the bathrooms. The home was in excellent condition, and the charming decor made it feel like home right away.
Well maintained, CLEAN, with lots of homey and helpful touches. Close to Parris Island for my son's Marine graduation. Enjoyed how close we were to the Bay Street shops. Would gladly stay here again. Thank you!
All the rooms were clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The restoration was well done and allows the home to offer the charm of the past with all the modern conveniences. The house is in a perfect location for all that Beaufort and the surrounding area have to offer. Communication with the host was timely and very much appreciated. We hope to return to the area and when we do this home will definitely be our first choice.
Loved the property, great location and owner was very accommodating! The home is newly renovated and they thought of everything to make our stay comfortable!
We have stayed at the cottage many times. It never disappoints. I am only disappointed when I have to leave. You can tell that the place is loved and cared for. Thanks Allison!

Thank you! We love having you stay with us! You are great guest! Hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful home! Highly recommend this property. Location is great and it is well appointed with everything needed for a great vacation. We will visit this home again.
This rental is the Gold standard when compared to the many VRBO's we've rented in the past. The renovations expertly championed the home into modern times without losing it's historic charm. The host has done an superb job anticipating every client's needs.The comfortable furnishings were selected specifically to accommodate the open floor plan, in contrast with many other rentals appearing to be furnished with grandma's hand me downs. The kitchen was stocked as well as our own. The proprietors provide ample kitchen supplies and toiletries. We are currently reviewing our calendar for our next visit.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to us when our guest enjoy the love and TLC that we put into our rental property! Thanks again! Y’all were great guest. We look forward to hosting you again!
We always want to stay here when we visit. Enjoyed the beach, dining out and walking downtown. The local library down the street provided researcher appointments and was a great addition to this trip. Already booked again for fall tours. Terri
This was our 3rd time staying at this sweet house. It is so comfortable and welcoming. The house is furnished with everything you need (I love the washer and dryer). We really like the location. We can see the marsh and Beaufort river from the front porch and it is walkable to downtown. We also love driving to the surrounding islands. There is so much to do and see in and around Beaufort! The host communicates with you before you arrive and is easy to get in touch with if anything is needed. We hope to stay here a 4th time someday!

About the host
Hosted by Alison
Bill & I are originally from Atlanta, Ga, but 20 years ago we moved to South Florida to open a new business. However, our long term plan is to retire to beautiful, historic Beaufort one day. We felt renovating this home was the 1st step towards are journey to living in Beaufort. We hope you enjoy & love this area as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
As our contractor put it "this house is one of the last greatest saves". We fell in love with the home, even though it needed LOTS of work. We feel like we have restored a bit of history and added our footprint the wonderful historic area of Beaufort.
