THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL RENTAL, there are very few like it. Very clean, with lots of special touches.
Pass your time sitting on one of the two river decks reading a book from our library with your favorite beverage or just watch the dolphins and boats pass by on the waterway or the ospreys and pelicans diving for fish to feed their young.

Beaufort & Port Royal, towns both rich with history! Discovered by the Spanish in 1514 and chartered by the British in1711. Having flown under Seven Flags and known as the "Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands". In 1562 Captain Jean Ribaut, a French Huguenot sailing for Spain established the first settlement with 150 brave settlers on what's now Parris Island which he named Charlesfort. He said upon his planned return to Spain, "NO FAIRER OR FITTER PLACE TO BE". This still holds true today!

Come for a visit, stay awhile, you won't be disappointed!

This was possibly the most comfortable and thoughtfully appointed rental we've ever stayed at. Mark is a great host and was easy to contact for info about the local area. Clean, exceptionally well located, and in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood. If we're ever back in the Lowcountry, we'll stay here again for sure.

This is an amazing property. My husband and I came to this area for a few days. The cottage was simply stunning and extremely clean. The back patio was breathtaking with the view of the water and marina. Loved sitting out there watching the sunrise and sunset drinking coffee. The master bedroom was a good size and so was the master bath. The bed was comfortable. The cottage was very cute and had a variety of games and books for entertainment. The neighborhood was lovely and very well maintained and kept. The extra bedroom had twin beds with a nice size bathroom. Plenty of towels and the kitchen nicely stocked. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Will stay here again.
