About this property

This is a new listing (February 2015) of our renovated cottage downtown Beaufort. Since this listing is new, we dont have any reviews yet to provide to you from our guests. But we also own listing number 470407 which was totally renovated in 2013. Please check out the reviews of the salmon cottage to get an idea how much we care about our guests and cottages. Please also check out the salmon cottage in case this one is already booked.

This cottage was completely renovated in 2014 / 2015 and is in heart of the National Historic District of Beaufort and only a 10 minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants and only a 2 minute walk to Bay Street and the Beaufort River. It is also only a short drive to Paris Island Marine Corps Station.

The cottage features a queen size bed and one full size bathroom as well as a fully equipped kitchen.

The cottage also has a front porch with a wicker bench plus a little table and a back patio with patio furniture for relaxing in the evening.

We provide all linens and towels to our guests.

Internet / WIFI access is also available.

We also provide our guests with a passport to the Hunting Island State Park and Beach.

Since there is no land line phone in the cottage, a cell phone is a must for emergencies or to contact us during your stay for any problems or questions.

Parking is available in front of the cottage.

We take pride in our cottage, so we have arranged a cleaning service to clean after your stay. They will also wash and dry linens and towels and replace them for the next guests. The $60 fee is an addition to the rental fee.

We look forward to having you as our guest.

I am a local REALTOR and would love to assist you in your search for a property in and around Beaufort and the beaches of Harbor Island and Fripp Island!! I only live a few minutes away from the cottage and can be available during your stay!

Beaufort beauty

As good a location for accessing historic Beaufort as you can find, especially for the price. While some of the property around it is a little run down, overall it is safe and quiet. The house is tight for more than 2.

A little slice of heaven

Beaufort, South Carolina is like a little Florida town. Right on the water, amazing people and amazing sites. If you are going to visit Paris Island, stay in Beaufort. Although when we stayed, the town was shut down because of ice and snow. The purple house that we stayed at, was amazing. Center of town, cozy little home. We will be staying here again.

Perfect cottage for two.

Immaculate. Short walk to downtown but the architecture along the way may make you wish it were longer (take Craven Street, the houses are particularly beautiful). Steps from Herban Market, an excellent coffee shop and cafe.

Great Stay!

This is a lovely cottage located within walking distance of the water and the town. The current photos need updating as it is newly redone with a peaceful beach theme. The cottage was well maintained with a full eat-in kitchen, a comfortable bed, and a cozy living room. Nadine was very responsive in communication. We will be back to stay here on future visits!

Small vacation for me and my husband

This place is so cute! It is just a few minutes from downtown Beaufort. We enjoyed eating at Dockside, FishCamp in Port Royal, and the Foolish Frog. Me and my husband enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings and rocking in the rocking chairs.

Location is perfect!

We loved our stay at the purple cottage. It was clean and well appointed. A perfect little house for a couple who want to be close to town. We walked for dinner, enjoyed coffee at the coffee shop one block over and had easy access to the Spanish Moss Trail. Kitchen was well appointed and the bed comfortable.

Well done!

First time to the Beaufort area and wanted to be near the water and the downtown district. This location fit both perfectly. No surprises, the descriptions and photos depicted the property accurately. Communication with the owner was returned in a timely manner and she answered questions we had. Check in and check out were easy enough with door codes. Bonus: the owners provided a hangtag/parking pass for the South Carolina state parks in the area. We did use it going out to hunting island and it’s a nice touch. I haven’t seen in other rentals. there was a coffee shop right outside the front door across the block as well as the waterfront. Driving to the downtown area was just a few minutes and easy.

Charming cottage

We enjoyed the charm of this cottage. It was easy walking distance to the restaurants along the bay. The bay itself is only a block away and visible from the front porch. The host was very communicative and helpful. There is a nice bakery/coffee shop just across the street.

About the host

Hosted by Nadine OQuinn

I live in Beaufort and absolutely love the Lowcountry and all it has to offer from a beautiful scenery to the lowcountry boil or also known as Frogmore Stew - ask me what it is and I will tell you all about it!!

I am also a local Realtor and work primarily in the Beaufort area along with the beaches of Harbor Island and Fripp Island!! I own a few vacation rentals that I fixed up myself and manage myself as well.

If you are looking to re-locate to this area or if you simply fall in love with the Lowcountry and would like to own a piece of paradise, I would be happy to assist you in finding your dream home or home away from home!!!

Why they chose this property

I highly recommend this property to anybody that likes to experience the downtown living but yet wants to enjoy peace and quiet. The cottage is only a 10 minute stroll along the water to downtown Beaufort. And for all our guests that come and visit Beaufort for military graduation, the cottage is only a 10-12 minute drive away from Paris Island!
