This is our second year staying. We decided to return because we were able to bring our girls and the home is comfortable and cozy. Customer service is quick to respond if there are any issues. Air conditioning works really well, there’s a dog park around the corner, no loud neighbors. We will be back.
Great location, close to the beach and local landmarks, Spanish moth trail is just around the corner! We enjoyed our stay!

It was a pleasure hosting you and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for choosing iTrip SC Sea Islands as your professional property management team.
Everything was there as advertised, though we had to buy a clothes iron, which we left. We bought a Brita water filter refillable water dispenser, which we left. We bought a folding tray table to use as a bedside table, because there wasn’t one, which we left. The description indicated there was a grill, which wasn’t there. We called the management company and a brand new Weber grill was delivered with new grilling tools and a bag of charcoal. They were very responsive. We bought a charcoal starter chimney and fire starters, which we left. Our last two days of our stay after the last set of guests left, thankfully, the toilet clogged. Again the management company was very responsive. It took 3-1/2 hours to get it working the first day. The following night when it happened, a Friday, they had it cleared within minutes.The closeness to the Spanish Moss Trail and just north of Old Port Royal was a real positive. Other than the few issues noted above, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Be aware the neighbor’s yards on either side are a bit junky if that could be an issue.

We had a great stay here, close to Beaufort and with easy access to water, restaurants and other downtown attractions. Also, home is immaculate inside, with new kitchen appliances, other amenities & beds are very comfortable. Looks just like the pictures inside. We highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay in the Beaufort area. Also, Barry was an outstanding host, always available/responsive to our questions or needs.

Greg, thank you for choosing iTrip Vacations as your property management hosts! It was a pleasure having you and your family.
We had a great time in Port Royal. The neighborhood cat was a favorite for my two little boys. The space was clean and had most everything we needed. It would be nice to have a mixing bowl but otherwise the kitchen had what we needed. The house is convenient to everything you might want to see. Very enjoyable

Nice location for our stay in Beaufort. Nice cottage on outskirts of the historic area. Kutchen was supplied with everything we need (except a can opener). For computers challenged folks the televisions need instructions. A friendly cat came to say hello every morning.

Husband and I came to Port Royal several days before our youngest son graduated from MCRD Parris Island. The cottage was exactlyvas pictured and perfectly located to explore Beaufort, the Sands Beach, small town Port Royal, and nearby dog park. It is also just 10 minutes to the parking lot next to the Peatross Parade Deck. This made the early Motivational Run on Family Day and Colors on Graduation Day easier for us. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had basics we needed. The cottage and yard were very clean. We appreciated extra quilt and blanket since SC had a cold snap for the first part of our visit. Yard was great for fetch with our 55lb dog. Someone else mentioned issue with fence. Our girl is broad, so the couple of gaps were not a problem for us. We also enjoyed sitting in the backyard --- especially once our new Marine and older son joined us. We picked up a delicious pulled pork and sides from the Smokehouse in Port Royal for a low key graduation lunch. This was perfect for our family. Another review mentioned wishing for more plates. There were more than enough for our family, at least 10 plates and several bowls and mugs. Guest soap and shampoo were a nice touch. I did not cook on this visit, but noticed appliances seemed new. We used the coffee pot in the mornings and appreciated the tea kettle for a hot mug of tea after exploring outdoors. Driveway easily fit our Tucson and older son's Camry. We would definitely stay here again.

Staying a week was cheaper than staying 5 days. Perfect size & location for 1-2 travelers. (Needs more living room seating for more.) Upgraded finishes when renovated, but not as “cushy” as more expensive homes. Had a bug problem because of rainy weather. Property manager responsive. Good value for the cost.

Sue, thank you for staying with us! It was a pleasure hosting you. We appreciate your feedback.
The house is moldy. Smells strongly moldy damp. Mold is on the ceiling next to AC vents. Stayed one night before I got terrible migraines, vomiting. Owner discarded and ignored my attempts to communicate. Did not offer me a new place to stay or a refund. Gave one message offering a “spot clean,” when the whole house needs fumigation. Ignored my being sick and having to leave. Nothing.Kept sending automated emails about taking out the trash, etc. when I wasn’t there, left from being sick. Some of the houses on the street are nice. Others are overgrown with shopping carts in the yard. Possible squatters living there. Not a healthy spot.

Thoroughly disappointed
We arrived on a Friday afternoon and first noticed the mold and mildew on the front door. We looked past that and went in. The home is small, which was fine, and the decor is acceptable. The issues with the home began shortly thereafter. We brought our dog since the home is pet friendly but the backyard has little grass so it was a giant mud pit. In the living room, there is one small couch and one reclining chair. The chair was broken with the cushion falling through and the reclining aspect not working, which was unacceptable for my husband who has back issues and was looking forward to relaxing after the drive in. As the evening fell, we realized that the light on the back porch didn't work, which made letting our dog outside in a mud pit more difficult to deal with and clean up after. Next, we discovered when trying to watch a tv show that the tv had colored streaks running all down it when turned on. We tried to maintain a good attitude but, when planning for the next morning, realized there was no coffee and no basic cooking supplies like salt and pepper or oil. These things are not required, of course, but only added to a poor experience after everything else mentioned. Saturday morning we decided to leave early. I reached out to the property manager and did not receive a reply for over 24 hours. We have stayed in dozens of VRBO's and have never had a less than 4 star experience until this one. We are not hard to please but do expect things to work, at minimum.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our guests. The "mold" you are referring to as well as the backyard area were due to heavy rain fall during your stay with us. The door was wiped clean and the rain fall dissipated. We were unaware that the electric remote to recliner was broken, had we known we would have fixed this issue immediately for you. Again, thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope you will give us the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
