Fire Pit + Yard: Charming Port Royal Home!
Outdoor Entertainment | Bicycles w/ Helmets | Dogs Welcome w/ Fee
A Port Royal paradise awaits with a stay at 'The Happy Cottage,' a 2-bed, 1-bath home! Spend days admiring the views from the Port Royal Boardwalk and Observation Tower, peruse downtown Beaufort’s local shops and restaurants, explore nearby Parris Island, or relax on the beautiful beaches of Hilton Head Island. At sundown, retreat back to the vacation rental for fireside s'mores followed by a movie night on the Smart TV.
