Wonderful stay in Port Royal

We really enjoyed our stay in Palmetto Moon Cottage, a very welcoming home with lots of thoughtful touches by the owner. Lovely but homely decor throughout the house, all facilities very comfy and as per description. Excellent location for peace and quiet, yet within walking distance of Port Royal attractions and easy drive to surrounding area. Host very welcoming and good communication. We hope to visit again in future.

Very nice place

Very nice place for a relaxing getaway from everything and I mean everything really not near anything a little look out that they call a beach in walking distance but a hour drive from the actual beach but worth it to drive over all it was great for the price of the house and we do prefer to be in the middle of nobody but a short drive to food and stores
