Great for a weekend getaway

My husband and I stayed two nights for a quick getaway. The condo was very conveniently located and was easy to access. The room was small but nice. It was clean and looked as pictures shown online. The mattress was comfortable and water pressure was excellent. The owners left a nice anniversary note and small gift which was very kind. I have two small things (not really complaints just annoyances) the air conditioning unit is very loud and the deck shown overlooking the water is not right out the door as I assumed. The air conditioner was so loud you can’t watch tv and hear. We don’t watch tv usually on vacation but I turned it on one night after dinner and couldn’t hear at all. The captions were on and we now know why! Ha! The observation deck is a shared space with the other units. While very nice and definitely has pretty views, I would have preferred a nice view from our window but it’s just of another building. All in all the condo is a great stay for a quick trip where you can walk to most everywhere you need! We enjoyed the little bar next door that was in the house next door backyard and City Kitchen!

Boating Weekend

This small unit was perfect for our two night stay in Beaufort. We spent the days on our boat and evenings enjoying the shared rooftop sitting area where you can see Taylor's Creek, Carrot Island, and the charming town. Why Knot unit D had all the amenities of home. Only disappointment was being charged a cleaning fee while asked to take sheets off bed, wash dishes, and take trash to dumpster.

Our getaway

This unit is located right in the heart of town. Walkable to shopping and restaurants. Great location. No need to drive and has a dedicated parking spot. We were there for our anniversary and the owners left us a sweet card with champagne and chocolates. Very nice touch. Room was very clean and perfectly stocked.

New Favorite Place to Stay

We love visiting Beaufort and normally stay at a nearby Inn. But we have found a new favorite spot at Why Knot Getaway! It offered the perfect amount of coziness for my husband and me. The location was ideal for visiting shops, restaurants and bars that we like to frequent within walking distance. And the rooftop view with our morning coffee was quite peaceful!

Wonderful location and view

We really enjoyed our stay. The room perfect for the two of us, the location was terrific - we could walk almost everywhere, the view from the rooftop deck was beautiful. Communication with the owners was excellent - Julie was quick to reply to emails and texts. We were able to check in early. Overall experience was 5 stars!

What I did not like about this place

The parking was very tight and worried about someone damaging my car, mostly parked out on the street and walked in. The security (coded entrance) was not sufficient as you only had to reach inside to unlock rather than use the code. The door to the room was very hard to lock. Lastly the tv choices were poor
