This charming waterfront carriage house on lady’s island overlooking factory creek, is on a one acre beautifully landscaped property, minutes from downtown Beaufort and the low country sea islands. There is a 150’ walkway, pier house, and floating dock for fishing. The waterfront view of a 2000-acre marsh, rivers, and creeks is spectacular.
Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best small southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine.
Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of numerous smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars. Visitors are provided a rich experience of history, culture, dining, annual events, cultural festivals, arts and outdoor recreation. Henry chambers waterfront park winds along the glistening Beaufort River with a vista of marsh islands and waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where elegant mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent restaurants and boutique one-of-a-kind shops line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local restaurants to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion pictures, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.
The waterfront and pier house are all available to guests. A full- service marina is located 1/4 mile from the property on Factory Creek. Pets may be allowed under special circumstances for an additional fee.

Just what we wanted, peaceful marsh views (and access), close to town, walkable to good restaurants, great host! The place is well appointed, clean and well maintained. And our pup loved it too!
Very comfortable, clean, carriage house, all the amenities of home. Being on the water with a dock was delightful. Very peaceful. Restaurants, activities, birding spots close by.
Second stay here and it was just as great as our first. We felt welcome and cozy. Such a beautiful I’ll place with easy access to Beaufort and all the other local treasures.
This property is so perfect. Extremely clean, perfectly located, well decorated and the hosts were lovely. We definitely enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.
Perfect. Better than we imagined. Sit on the pier; walk on the sidewalks through the neighborhood; enjoy the spacious unit with its great decor. Stairs are steep, but make for good exercise to get up into a magical treehouse-like place. Utterly safe. A gift to the guests lucky enough to stay at this exceptional property.
The owner was friendly and helpful. The property was in excellent condition, it was a pleasure to be there. If I have to rent again, I will remember this property.
Everything was superb! The hosts gave us a warm welcome and the carriage house apartment is nautical in theme to the "T". We wanted for nothing . We enjoyed their lovely garden and dock. We highly recommend others to take advantage of this lovely locale.
August 2025If I could give more then 5 stars I would, we frequently use VRBO to travel, this. rental was absolutely beautiful, clean, and the owners were so receptive. Easy check in and out. We had a wonderful time.
Even better than advertised! Great hosts, beautiful setting and close to everything. The property is beautiful and like a botanical garden! Highly recommend. We plan to return!
Dan and Bobbie were wonderful hosts. The carriage house apartment was lovely. The he location was perfect for spending time in Savannah, Charleston, Hunting Island and of course, Beaufort.
What a gorgeous rental! Mr. Dan and his wife Bobby are wonderful hosts. Mr. Dan built this amazing property, and it shows in fine details. We wanted for nothing. We would absolutely stay again.
Dan and Bobbie, our sweet hosts, met us at check-in and showed us the property.This carriage house was absolutely perfect for the two of us. It is very open with nautical decor, and makes you feel like you're living the coastal life. We enjoyed sitting on the dock. It is immaculate, comfortabe and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Great location ... close to Beaufort, Hunting Island State Park, stores and restaurants. We would love to stay here again if we get back this way. Thank you Dan and Bobbie!
This carriage house rental met our needs very well. Located just a few minutes from downtown Beaufort and 20 minutes from Hunting State Park. Highly recommended.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with the cozy, clean and conveniently located charming cottage. The hosts are truly the most gracious people I have ever met. I’m looking forward to my next visit
Everywhere you turn is a pleasant surprise. This was my home away from home for 10 days for business and it was perfect. Dan and Bobbie go out of their way to make sure you are happy with your stay. Highly recommend
The property was very well appointed. The grounds around the property were lush and well cared for. Great attention to detail was given to the nautical themed carriage house. Convenient, yet quiet location. Just perfect!
