Beaufort Cottage Perfection
We are so thankful that we were welcomed to stay in this cottage while we visited Beaufort. The owners have struck a perfect balance with the design-- the home has maintained its historic charm and details, while being decorated with updated but classic art and decor selections. The house was just the right size for our family of four. The location couldn't be better-- downtown but just outside the commotion of the businesses-- with a stunning view of the water from the porch and front door-- and we felt very safe with the parking for local law enforcement across the way. It was really nostalgic to be back in Beaufort as we had been stationed there previously when my husband flew with 312 and 533-- but this time with our children in tow, and they treasured their time there as much as we did. Thank you for hosting us, Allen + Dawn! We hope to be back for future visits!

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!

We recently stayed at the King St. cottage for our 45th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect getaway for us and our two dogs. The cottage was beautifully decorated and extremely clean and well stocked. The location was excellent for shopping and dining in the historic district. We can’t wait to return to Beaufort and hope to stay in the lovely King St. Cottage again soon.
