IMPORTANT Note for USMC Graduation Guests: If you are booking dates for a Marine Corps graduation, we highly recommend reserving the night of graduation as well. Guests are not typically permitted to bring all luggage onto base, and vehicle checks can cause delays or complications.
While we do our best to accommodate military families coming to support their Marine, please note that we cannot guarantee luggage storage after checkout on graduation day. Additionally, early check-ins and late checkouts are not always possible due to our cleaning team’s schedule and back-to-back reservations.

We loved this place, it was cute, cozy, and exactly what we were looking for. I especially recommend it for any families of new Marines. It is so close to Parris Island and it was a breeze to get to the base, which was a huge plus on those early mornings!We enjoyed our stay here, we had everything we needed and were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and are so glad it could accommodate you and your family! Come back any time!
Great home for Parris Island Marine graduation. It’s so close to the base with only a quick 5 minute drive. Located in great walkable town with awesome restaurants, shops and right by the beach and the observation tower. Highly recommend GG’s restaurant that we walked to with outdoor seating and amazing burgers. The neighborhood is so cute and the house had everything we needed. The front porch swing was a hit with the grandparents!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us again! We’re thrilled to hear you’ve had fantastic experiences both times and that the home feels comfortable and welcoming for you. We truly appreciate it and would absolutely love to host you again anytime!
Loved Port Royal and this house was perfect for our family of four. I sat on a rocker on the front porch each morning drinking my coffee and it was lovely.
This location is wonderful. Very peaceful neighborhood for sitting out on the front porch and relaxing after a day on the Spanish Moss bicycle trail. There are many restaurants near by, including a very good coffee shop, Corner Perk.
Clean, comfortable, desirable location, everything about our stay was exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Maddie Beck
Hello! I'm your host, Maddie, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to beautiful Beaufort, South Carolina! I'm a local, so I can give you the inside scoop on all the best spots to visit.
I absolutely love living here, especially during the summer. There's nothing quite like a relaxing boat ride on the water, or the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying the stunning scenery. When I'm not out exploring, or shopping downtown, you can usually find me spending time with my two dogs, that I call children, Moose and Bean, or enjoying some quality time with my husband. I also love curling up with a good book and a refreshing iced coffee.
As your host, I'm passionate about providing true Southern hospitality and giving you a taste of what makes Beaufort so special. I'm excited to share my love of this town with you and help you create unforgettable memories during your stay. So, sit back, relax, and let me take care of the rest!
