All the rooms were clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The restoration was well done and allows the home to offer the charm of the past with all the modern conveniences. The house is in a perfect location for all that Beaufort and the surrounding area have to offer. Communication with the host was timely and very much appreciated. We hope to return to the area and when we do this home will definitely be our first choice.

This was our 3rd time staying at this sweet house. It is so comfortable and welcoming. The house is furnished with everything you need (I love the washer and dryer). We really like the location. We can see the marsh and Beaufort river from the front porch and it is walkable to downtown. We also love driving to the surrounding islands. There is so much to do and see in and around Beaufort! The host communicates with you before you arrive and is easy to get in touch with if anything is needed. We hope to stay here a 4th time someday!

This rental is the Gold standard when compared to the many VRBO's we've rented in the past. The renovations expertly championed the home into modern times without losing it's historic charm. The host has done an superb job anticipating every client's needs.The comfortable furnishings were selected specifically to accommodate the open floor plan, in contrast with many other rentals appearing to be furnished with grandma's hand me downs. The kitchen was stocked as well as our own. The proprietors provide ample kitchen supplies and toiletries. We are currently reviewing our calendar for our next visit.

Charming Freedman's cottage

This beautifully renovated Freedman's cottage, filled with history if only walls could talk, is a joy to stay in. This was our third year and we enjoyed every moment. The addition of the rocking chairs on the front porch was wonderful. We were disappointed only in that we were unable to rebook for next year as it was already taken!

Beautiful, Clean, Great location

This property is absolutely beautiful! Truly one of the cleanest and well-equipped properties I’ve ever stayed in. You’re drive to popular locations, such as Bay Street and the water, is very short but the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner is very helpful and accommodating, even allowing us to check in early due to housekeeping being ahead of schedule. If we’re ever back in the area, this is where we’ll be staying!

This historic remodel is our favorite so far! This home looks and feels like an old home, but all modern needs have been met. Both bedrooms have very comfortable beds and wonderful showers. Great for 2 couples. Short walk…plenty of parking for those of us who drove…great shops and food. A visit to Beaufort, SC is a vacation well spent. Alison was wonderful and so helpful!
