Wedding Weekend Get Away

We had a wonderful stay in Beaufort! The house was perfect for our family of four—very neat, tidy, and just the right size. It’s about a 15–20 minute walk to downtown, which was great for getting some fresh air without needing to drive. It was the perfect spot for our busy wedding weekend getaway— quiet and comfortable.

Perfect Cottage!

This was the perfect cottage for our weekend getaway. Everything was new, fresh and clean! We had everything we needed- from fresh linens to a well stocked kitchen. We also appreciated the little things like ceiling fans and easy to reach charging blocks in each room. Perfect spot to walk and explore Bay Street in Beaufort. Hope to return one day soon!

Everything and more…

This beautifully appointed cottage is walking distance to downtown, with everything you could possibly want, from dog biscuits and bowls to blender and spices. Just beware—the swing on the screened-in porch is seriously addicting!

Beautiful property, thoughtfully put together. Extremely comfortable. Neighborhood ‘transitioning’ but we never felt unsafe and it’s v close to downtown. 5 stars overall.

Charming two weeks in Beaufort

We were snowbirding in Beaufort for two weeks in February and didn’t know much about the town other than what we read. We absolutely loved it! This great cottage was just a 10 minute walk to downtown. We loved walking the streets lined with trees ornamented with Spanish Moss, historic homes and churches. This cottage was great for us and our small dog as we worked remotely and explored the area. Host was very responsive!

Very nice house!

The house is lovely and generally well-appointed. While the yard is small, it is securely fenced and our dog enjoyed roaming it (looking for squirrels). The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable, and just one mile to the far end of downtown, past numerous nice stores and good restaurants. Emails were answered very promptly, both before and during our stay.

Beaufort Grad Trip

The home was gorgeous and immaculate in a transformation neighborhood downtown. We were able to walk a few short blocks to the waterfront for morning coffee and dinner nightly. The home has a wonderful screened in porch where we spent a lot of time swinging on the porch swing. It was a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend this property.

Memorable Wedding Weekend

The house is as advertised and we loved it. We spent memorial day weekend for a wedding along with our two adult children. Clean, bright, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed including surprising little touches like beach chairs. Immaculately maintained. Really convenient location - we walked everywhere including the wedding and reception. Quiet transitional residential neighborhood. Easy check in and responsive host. Highly recommend this.

We loved our stay at the Bright Dreamy Cottage in Beaufort. The cottage is beautifully appointed and stocked with necessities and amenities that contribute to a pampered experience. Our Cavalier King Charles dog, Charlie, loved the fenced in yard and spending time on the screened in porch….so did we. We thought the location was great— easily accessible to the water front, downtown, or any of the surrounding towns and islands. Being in the historic district also fostered an appreciation of Beaufort’s history and provided a glimpse of the way the community has come together to build upon this history and welcome guests to this beautiful coastal town. Alyssa was wonderful. She was prompt to respond with a professional yet personal approach. We were there almost 6 weeks and found each day an adventure. We highly recommend the VRBO experience and our host Alyssa.

Beautiful Home - Great Location

House looks just as pictured. Clean, beautiful, modern, comfortable. Covered patio with swing was a nice touch for a quiet night in fresh air. Tennis courts are within short walking distance from house. Water and downtown area are quick drive or accessible by foot via 15+ minute walk. There are some homes surrounding that may not have the same charm as this one but would not let that deter your stay as we felt safe and would absolutely stay here again on a return visit. Property management made check in super easy and the welcome packet was helpful to learn the area.
