The location, layout of house and pet accommodations were excellent. Location on marsh with easy access to water and location close to Beaufort and surrounding areas could not be better. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We appreciated the privacy. The hosts next door were very accommodating and immediately responded to any questions/needs, but not intrusive in any way. We felt that there could be a bit more attention to cleanliness. But overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

This was an amazing place. The location was just perfect. The deep water dock gave us many hours of fishing and shrimping. Our puppy would stand at the door and wait for us to take him to the dock. I highly recommend it. I can't wait to go back.

Great stay for air show

Was staying in the area for vacation to stroll around Beaufort and take in the air show at the Marine base. House was in a great spot to take advantage of both. It was quiet and lovely in the evenings and a great spot to watch the Blue Angels from the dock during the day.

Thank you for letting us know. We are a bit confused . The house has brand new wood floors, new paint. Brand new dishwasher, washer & dryer. The furniture is leather in order to clean it between guests. The bed linens are recently purchased. The dock is supposed to move with the water tide changes.
