This place is a gem! Big, beautiful secluded yard. Spacious house with tons of amenities. Kevin and Jane left nothing out. The fenced in pet area off of the porch was great and even has a poop station with bags and waste disposal bin. Made morning and evening outings harness and leash free. Super close to restaurants and things to do. Great location for site-seeing and fishing. The dock is nice and roomy and perfect for fishing. It was so relaxing just sitting on the dock or in the screened porch watching the Spanish moss swaying in the huge oak trees. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be returning! Thank you Kevin and Jane for sharing your paradise!

This is a really nice, peaceful place to stay and we will book it again. The house was fairly clean except I feel that it could use a more thorough cleaning. Mornings and evenings on the dock are so peaceful watching the sunrises & sunsets with cool breezes. We rented this place last year and had a good experience. However, we noticed some issues this time. There were a few dead roaches on the floors and on the kitchen counter. There was some crawling in the kitchen also. There was something sticky on the floor behind the couch and trash behind it, and under the beds need cleaning. Saw some dog hair between the couch cushions and in the corners of the floors. The outside of the house needs a good bit of maintenance and upkeep.

We are very glad that again you enjoyed your time at Sunmist Cottage and look forward to seeing you next month! You are absolutely correct regarding additional cleaning. Temp >100 degree and rain causes increased palmetto bugs. The exterminator we use treated sooner than quarterly to help. Hence the dead palmetto bugs! Lol! Our cleaning crew are coming in for deep cleaning. Thank you for letting us know!

The location, layout of house and pet accommodations were excellent. Location on marsh with easy access to water and location close to Beaufort and surrounding areas could not be better. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We appreciated the privacy. The hosts next door were very accommodating and immediately responded to any questions/needs, but not intrusive in any way. We felt that there could be a bit more attention to cleanliness. But overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

This was an amazing place. The location was just perfect. The deep water dock gave us many hours of fishing and shrimping. Our puppy would stand at the door and wait for us to take him to the dock. I highly recommend it. I can't wait to go back.

Great stay for air show
