Amazing Cottage
The pictures on VRBO of the Cottage do not do it justice. It is breathtaking when you open the front door and only gets better as you walk into each room. The location is convenient to walking to town and historical attractions. You can sit on the front porch and see the water !! The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. The host has very thoughtfully provided everything you need for a relaxing stay. Cleanliness is superb and the beds are so comfortable. We definitely plan to return as soon as we can. This Cottage deserves more than 5 stars !

A real gem!
It is an excellent property! Immaculate, well equipped kitchen, comfortable, great beds, nicely appointed -- it is beautiful in an understated way. We were there three nights; everything was as described. On arrival, we did have a couple of questions, which were quickly addressed by the owners. I highly recommend this property - and hope to come back one day.

This was our 2nd visit. Enjoy Beaufort for the mix of good restaurants, history, friendly people, and things to do. This house is a very good location - quite in the evenings, easy walk to Beaufort proper, or to bike rentals which expand your range. The house is well equipped and hosts Allen and Dawn or great hosts.

Gracious Low Country Escape
A wonderful place to stay while visiting the area. The freedman’s cottage is very comfortable and well designed. The new parts of the cottage are equipped with the best of everything. The historic areas are well maintained. It is easy to slip away to a simpler time sitting on the porch with an iced tea. Very convenient to the best shops and restaurants. Excellent location!

The cottage was wonderful - clean and warm and cozy - we felt at home. The owners, even though we did not meet them in person, were gracious. We were welcomed and kept “in the loop “ on things. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone.
