About the host
Hosted by Tim Barrans
Tim & Deborah Barrans are a semi-retired couple with a love of the Beaufort area. We had to buy this home as a second home and a short-term rental. We look forward to sharing Gritz & Giggles with you. The beautiful oaks with the Spanish moss hanging down are simply magical. You can barely hear taps from the Marine Base. It reminds us of when our daughter graduated from boot camp.
Why they chose this property
Located in the South Carolina Lowcountry, the beauty and history will capture your soul. Our home is minutes from downtown Port Royal, close to Beaufort (5 minutes), and an easy drive to Savannah or Charleston
What makes this property unique
Just minutes from historic Beaufort, the pristine sands of Hunting Island Beach, and Marine graduations at Parris Island, this location is perfectly positioned for adventure and relaxation. Effortless day trips to Savannah, Charleston, and Hilton Head make exploring the Lowcountry a breeze. It’s a truly magical place — one you’ll fall in love with the moment you arrive.
