Awesome Experience
Celebrated a big mil birthday with my friend and our two pups. Diane went out of her way to make our experience at her tiny home one of the highlights of the weekend. Her tiny home, surrounding gardens and outdoor veranda will always be remembered for how welcomed we felt. She even left dog biscuits for our pups A visit to her store, Mermaid's Chandelier, is also highly recommended for great bargains.

Amazing
Our tiny house was perfect. It is tiny but it really works well. Diane was amazing. She was accommodating to us and my family, who were staying at other places, but came over for a little party. The yard was lovely to sit in, the bird feeders attracted cardinals and other birds. The neighborhood is quiet and pretty. I would recommend to single females who travel alone. It’s very safe. I will definitely stay there again when I’m in town. Diane is a top notch host.

Anniversary Stay
We stayed at this location for my wife and I 41st anniversary. The mini house was nise and cozy, yet it had the all that was needed for a short stay. The town of Burford was a great place to visit. We plan to return to the town for more site seeing. That's how great the stay was.

cozy nest
The nest had everything I needed (and more!). It was a short visit.. I wish I had more time. I could enjoy beach rest and evening office work. the kitchenette had everything I could imagine (not clear in the website), and the shower was magnificent. I loved that the host provided a pass for the beach and a bottle of wine for the first night :) I will keep it on my radar to come back!

We loved walking to two beautiful parks in the neighborhood, and the walk to Bay St. shops and restaurants was a pleasant 30 minute walk along sidewalks. There is a park pass included in the stay which gets you into Hunting Beach park for free. The garden and sitting areas at the tiny home make a very pleasant spot for bird watching. We would come back again and again!

Magical Little Nest
This is a tiny space, but every inch of this cozy space is filled with whimsey and charm. The cottage smelled sweet and felt comfy. From the pretty rose and flower garden with sweet statuary, to the beachy decorations, it's all about good vibes! This little nest is filled with happy little appointments (a quilt on the trundle bed, books, teas, beachy art, a state park beach pass, even gourmet doggy treats for our little old doggy!) This tiny Beaufort cottage was perfect for us!

This place is such a cute, quiet little gem. Me and my bestie enjoyed our stay. I love that it was literally 5 minutes to downtown Beaufort and about a 20 minute drive to the beach. I was thankful that it was pet friendly as well! Our dog Chloe really enjoyed herself. Diane’s garden is absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at all the flowers around the property. Will definitely stay here again when I come back!

A pleasant get-away
The tiny house was indeed very tiny, but had everything required for a pleasant stay. The neighborhood was lovely and provided good opportunities for dog walking. The addition of a South Carolina Parks pass was a bonus, as we were waived right in to Hunting Island State Park. Since we have previously lived on a sailboat and a 17 foot camping trailer for months at a time, we are accustomed to close living quarters. The only negative is that when the trundle bed is rolled out, there is no room to walk around. I would recommend this house completely for one person, but two people need to be fully aware of the size limitations. We had a lot of trouble figuring out how to operate the trundle bed. I would suggest that Diane make a point of demonstrating this in person if possible. Other than above, we definitely rate this a five star location.

Perfect spot for frugal travelers
We absolutely loved our visit to Beaufort. Diane's tiny house/ cottage provided us with a comfortable place to unwind, cool down, park our gear, clean up and crash at night. The screened-in gazebo provided extra lounge space for relaxing and enjoying our morning coffee. We enjoyed walks to the boat ramp for stunning sunsets each evening. We even caught sight of a pod of dolphins one afternoon. The property location in Pigeon's Point is just a short bicycle ride to downtown Beaufort and many of the historical/ significant sights. BIG praise for the tiny house!

Can't pidgeon hole a tiny house
The place is small, as advertised, but this added to the charm and intimacy of the stay. Diane was very sweet and a joy to talk to. Pidgeon Nest was perfect for us and our cats to snuggle up but also to get out and see the quaint Pigeon Point neighborhood and Historic Beaufort, SC. The outdoor seating is screened in and was a great place to lounge, eat, and play a few hands of cards The only thing I would change is the bed as it is a daybed. I could not sit comfortably and it did not sleep 2 people. The trundle bed allowed 2 to sleep but then blocked the doorway. Other than that everything was perfect.
