About this property
Carriage House under Live Oaks In Historic Downtown Beaufort with Patio Garden
This lovely South Carolina unit called Sweetgrass, in downtown Beaufort, is on the street level of the carriage house one block from the Beaufort River. It has two bedrooms, one queen bed and one small full bed and one bath (connected to each bedroom), hardwood floors throughout, cable TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. Relax on the covered porch and furnished patio surrounded by 100 year old oak trees draped with Spanish moss and lovely gardens.
This carriage house, recently brought back to life after many years of neglect, sits next to our home, Craven House. It truly is the best location in Beaufort, surrounded by stately mansions and rich history, allowing one to walk to restaurants, shops, museums and the waterfront park by the marina. It is an easy drive to Paris Island, the Sands beach in Port Royal and Hunting beach on the ocean.
Linens, including beach towels, are included. Household items/appliances include microwave, Kurig coffee maker, high-definition television, gas range and electric oven, cookware, disposal, fridge, pop-up toaster, internet connection, hairdryer, iron and board, dishes, tea, coffee, toilet paper, paper towels and soap. NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED IN THE UNIT OR ON THE PROPERTY ANYWHERE.
Must be 25 yrs old + to rent. **Children under age 12 are not allowed.
We always look forward to our visitors. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
***(In these precarious times, we suggest guests purchase travelers insurance.)
Check In is 4:00 pm and Check Out is 10:00 am. Rates subject to change without notice.
The driveway provides one parking space for Sweet Grass guests. There is also close by parking on the street. We love pets, but are unable to accommodate them. Thank you for understanding.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen and Mike Tomy
When Mike and I purchased Craven House, it had been neglected for many years. After a lot of hard work it is now reborn. It truly is a rich piece of history, and we love living in this South Carolina coastal town with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bonny Blue.
Mike is a retired architect currently involved in Beaufort city and county boards. Ellen is a retired portrait painter. Vacations from Atlanta down to Beaufort every summer to visit family, we bought this property because of our love for architecture, history and Beaufort itself. Ellen's family roots are in South Carolina, so it is like coming home to stay.

Why they chose this property
The Carriage House on Craven is central to all that is happening in Beaufort. During the many yearly festivals, parking is not easy to find in town. Just stay at the carriage house, leave the car and the festivals are a block away. Meander through one-of-a-kind shops on Bay Street and enjoy fresh local seafood in Beaufort's unique restaurants. If you don't want to eat out, a fully fitted kitchen is ready for you.
What makes this property unique
Set back from the street, the patio is a quiet place to sit and visit with friends or have a romantic dinner. Surrounded by historic homes and churches built in past centuries, one is taken back into the 19th century Old South. We live on the property and are at your beacon call anytime you need anything.
