Vacations from Atlanta down to Beaufort every summer to visit family, we bought this property because of our love for architecture, history and Beaufort itself. Ellen's family roots are in South Carolina so it is like coming home to stay.

What makes this property unique

One cannot but feel the presence of happiness and contentment when entering Bonny Cottage. Even before it was renovated, with holes in its floors and dilapidated nature, it was cheerful.
