Wonderful stay in Port Royal

We really enjoyed our stay in Palmetto Moon Cottage, a very welcoming home with lots of thoughtful touches by the owner. Lovely but homely decor throughout the house, all facilities very comfy and as per description. Excellent location for peace and quiet, yet within walking distance of Port Royal attractions and easy drive to surrounding area. Host very welcoming and good communication. We hope to visit again in future.

A pretty good spot

This little apartment in Port Royal was one block from Madisons restraunts, one block the other direction to Fishcamp on 11th. (You have to google those, and then you have to go there1) It was minutes from Hunting Island State Park, the lighthouse, the Penn Center. We took a short day trip one day to Fort Sumter, and another to downtown Savannah. It's just an awesome place

Very nice place

Very nice place for a relaxing getaway from everything and I mean everything really not near anything a little look out that they call a beach in walking distance but a hour drive from the actual beach but worth it to drive over all it was great for the price of the house and we do prefer to be in the middle of nobody but a short drive to food and stores

About the host

Hosted by Sally

I have been hosting vacation rentals since 2006

Why they chose this property

I built this Duplex in 2002 and originally rented this side long term. I turned it into the Palmetto Moon Cottage in 2006

What makes this property unique

I've stayed in my Palmetto Moon Cottage, after I turned it into a Vacation home, as I wanted to see if it had everything a guest could need. I live next door. I personally take care of all aspects of this Vacation Home and I believe it shows in all the small details.
