Pros: Great location. Nice decor and vibe. Condo: bad mattress, very noisy, owner changes a huge cleaning fee and then gives you a list of things you need to clean before you leave.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the decor—it’s great to know those aspects helped set the tone for your stay. We’re sorry to learn that other parts of your experience didn’t meet expectations. Comfort and rest are incredibly important, and we appreciate you bringing the mattress and noise concerns to our attention so we can take a closer look and make improvements where needed. Regarding the cleaning fee and checkout expectations, we understand how that can feel frustrating. Our goal is to be transparent and fair while ensuring the home is well-prepared for every guest. Your comments help us evaluate how we communicate these expectations and whether adjustments are needed. We truly value your input and will use it to enhance the experience for future guests. Thank you again for staying with TideWatch Vacations.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of town. The cottage is tastefully decorated. Both bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms are nice too. Has a small kitchen but everything one would need. Perfect for two friends or two couples. Convenient downtown location where one can easily walk to shopping, restaurants and sights. Parking right next to cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Quaint cottage close to downtown. Everything worked as it should. You can hear traffic noise during the night but that’s a trade off for being close to everything. Decorated nicely. An older home with lots of character.

Our stay in this cottage was just perfect! We take an annual boat trip and this was our first time staying in this location which was central to everything and walkable to all restaurants and shopping as well as the marina! 10 out of 10, will certainly book again for next year.

Wonderful stay

The cottage was very lovely and so was the stay. The location was perfect; walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the bay. Beach and hiking a short drive away. After all the sightseeing and visiting, it was so nice to return to the comfort and quiet of our cottage.

A small,cozy and comfortable cottage perfect for a brief stay in Beaufort. The location is perfect for accessing downtown shops and eateries. Next door to a nice coffee shop and across the street from upscale restaurants. Highly recommend for short duration visits to this sea island and historic town.
