Great stay
We enjoyed our stay! House was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. I wish we would've allotted more time to spend in Beaufort. We spent most of our time in Charleston and Savannah, but it looked like there were places I would've liked to explore near the house. Cute downtown area and close to the water.

Wonderful House, Great Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our six-week stay at Kelsey's Beaufort Bungalow. The location was terrific: a 10-minute walk to downtown Beaufort on the river, a short distance to the Spanish Moss (Walking/Biking) Trail, and easy access by car to the amazing Port Royal Farmer's Market and Cypress Wetlands Trail. We were minutes from grocery stores and restaurants. A SC state park entry pass was provided by Kelsey, allowing free access to nearby Hunting Island State Park, a local treasure. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, cooking utensils, and basic supplies, enabling us to easily prepare meals at home. All of the large and small appliances that we used were in good working condition. The house was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our sunny mornings on the front porch swing and our afternoons on the sunny backyard deck and the shady screened-in porch. We were thoughtfully greeted with wine and snacks when we arrived. Kelsey provided timely and complete responses to our various inquiries. We quickly settled into our "home away from home". We highly recommend this property. We will be returning next year!

Beaufort vacation
We had a wonderful stay at Kelsey’s cottage, the cottage itself was super cute, very spacious and extremely cozy, the kitchen has everything we could need, the bedrooms were large and comfy, the master bathroom had a beautiful blue tile, the entire cottage was inviting, we felt at home. The cottage is walking distance to downtown and the Spanish moss trail is really close. The backyard is huge and there is even a shed to use (where we stored our bikes). We were happy to come back to the cottage after visiting Beaufort and the area. We wish we could have stayed longer. Neighbor’s dogs and cat were very friendly and greeted us when we arrived. Highly recommended this place! Kelsey was very easy to communicate with, very responsive and gave plenty of useful information. Such a great host and place!

Wonderful trip to Beaufort
My wife and I recently stayed here for a week in October/November. The house is updated and is located in a quiet neighborhood conveniently located close to town only 5 minutes away from restaurants, shops, and historical areas. We rented bikes and rode from there into town and all over via the Spanish Moss Trail which is only a few blocks away from the house. The house was super clean and neat with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was great to work with and communicative. We had such a great time exploring the area and just relaxing on the front porch swing that we decided to stay another night to which the owner was very accommodating since there was not anybody scheduled for our original departure date. We were able to extend our stay and glad we did. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

Great place for Marine Graduation
This house was a great place to stay for our Marine's graduation from boot camp. The house was very clean. Beds were super comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe. Close to shopping and restaurants. Only 15 minutes to Parris Island. Take advantage of the pass to Hunting beach. It is beautiful and worth the 30 minute drive. If we are ever back in the Beaufort area we would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kelsey A Barklow

Host profile image
We live in Johnson City, Tennessee and we love the South, and the Lowcountry in particular. We like good food (who doesn’t?!), good wine, and trying all the restaurants in the area. Like you, we love to travel as often as we can. So many places to see… so little vacation time! We always enjoy spending time in Beaufort SC and the Lowcountry and think you will too.

Why they chose this property

We chose Bungalow by the Bay because it’s comfortable and cozy and gave us a good feeling from the moment we stepped inside. We love that it has both a living room and a family room so everyone can spread out. We love the front porch, the screened side porch, the back deck, the fire pit and the large fenced backyard for enjoying the nice weather. We have established Camellia trees, Azalea bushes and a wonderful-smelling Gardenia bush, among others, and we keep adding tropical foliage as often as we are there.
The neighborhood is very quiet as are the neighbors and we love that we can walk to the historic downtown area in 10-15 minutes.

What makes this property unique

The house is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay: fully equipped kitchen, toiletries, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, even Kleenex! A 10-15 minute walk takes you to the Historic Downtown area for all the great restaurants, shops, Waterfront Park, marina and bay, beautiful mansions, historic churches, and interesting cemeteries and graveyards. So much to see and do in Beaufort. Scenic 15 minute drive to Parris Island. We host lots of families who are coming in for their child's or relative's MCRD graduation.
