Wonderful

Was staying in the area for vacation to stroll around Beaufort and take in the air show at the Marine base. House was in a great spot to take advantage of both. It was quiet and lovely in the evenings and a great spot to watch the Blue Angels from the dock during the day.
We were able to enjoy the seclusion and quiet view from the dock. Convenient location to Beaufort.

Beautiful view
Beautiful view of the creek convenient location for going to Beaufort just about a 15 minute drive house was dated and the dock was a little sketchy, but it worked
Diamond in the rough. Outside of house could stand a cleaning, but inside was clean. Nice big yard with good privacy from neighbors with lots of greenery.
The property was nice and the owner, who lives next door, was responsive to issues. The house is older and has been remodeled. It was clean and well stocked. The plumbing can be persnickety with hot water issues (addressed by the owner) and clogged toilets upon arrival (which we handled and then notified owner). The yard is wonderful. There is a small fenced area for dogs to potty, which was a surprise and very helpful. The deck and dock provided access to beautiful scenery, fishing and crabbing. The dock is in need of repairs, with several loose boards, but otherwise was as described.and was where we spent much of our time.We look forward to staying again, as the location was quiet, and not far from Beaufort amenities.
The weather played a huge impact as it limited our overall enjoyment of our stay. However, the host was very responsive, the house was spacious and the setting (minus the snow!) was beautiful.
The property is located north of Beaufort and it was very easy to reach sightseeing areas. Communication with the owners was easy, they were very responsive and helpful with any problems. We were there during Hurricane Helene and they were very helpful and assured us we were safe.
Unable to stay for our visit due to unforseen circumstances at the home. The property was beautiful and the host was very kind. Look forward to a possible stay in the future.

Great Place.
We enjoyed our stay. The dock is a grate place to fish, put a kayak in and watch the sun rise. large clean rooms and bedrooms. Would stay there again.
This was our 3rd time staying at Sunmist cottage and it won't be the last. The house is comfortable, the location is breathtaking and Kevin and Jane are always accommodating and easy to reach if need be! Thank you both for another great vacation!
Enjoyed our stay out in the country. House was a little dated, needed to have the carpet replaced and some TLC performed to the interior & exterior. But we all enjoyed ourselves with the stay.
Stayed here on our father-son fishing trip. Property was just as advertised. Secluded and quiet but still close to Restaurants and shops. House was very clean and plenty of room. Host was friendly, quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this property!
We loved the peace and the scenery was beautiful. The house was clean and very comfortable. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The owner was very nice and helpful to any needs we had. Would stay here again.

Perfect place to make perfect memories!!
This place was perfect! Spacious, private, and beautiful with all of the necessities of home. The jets provided an unexpected private air show, the dock provided the perfect fishing spot, the yard provided room for my German Shepherd to wonder and the house provided all the rest!
Love this place!
We stayed at Kevin and Jane’s house for a month and had a fabulous time. The house met all our needs and the dock was beautiful. Kevin responded to all our questions promptly. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time on our stay here! Lots of fishing and fun with the kids. Teens and littles had a blast! Lots of fun stuff to do in town. Close to everything. House was very clean and had everything we needed for our week stay.
