Quiet beach cottage with unique local attractions nearby

Skip the overcrowded beaches this year and discover the hidden gem of South Carolina’s low country. Charming, comfortable, clean beach cottage with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus a sleeper sofa in the large sunroom. Two decks and a patio, fully equipped kitchen and gas grill available. Quiet area and private location on 6 lots.

You will find plenty to do nearby:

Bring your own boat or book one of the local fishing charters for an opportunity to catch Flounder, Black Drum, Redfish, Tripletail, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout.

Walking distance to Fort Fremont Historical Preserve. Built in 1899 to protect Port Royal Naval Station on Parris Island during the Spanish American War, it was used again as a Union army base during the Civil War. Explore the century old fort and battery along with the trails among beautiful moss-covered trees.

20 minutes to Hunting Island State Park... one of the few remaining undeveloped sea islands where you can find shells and sharks teeth on the beach, play in the ocean, climb Hunting Island lighthouse, fish off the newly opened pier, visit the nature center, and explore miles of secluded biking or walking trails.

20 minutes to quaint, historic Downtown Beaufort with shopping, dining, a public playground, marina, carriage tours and more.

Book now to enjoy a peaceful and restorative vacation without all the commercialized touristy hustle of many beach towns

Great little beach cottage
My husband and children and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here at the cottage. It’s close to beach access and the nearby historical fort, all an easy and pleasant walk from the cottage. Roger was communicative and friendly. Would like to book again if we’re in the area.

The tub and garbage disposal didn't work. The beds were uncomfortable and noisy. The property was too far away from civilization.

We arrived after dark and was happy to have lights come on upon arriving. The home is wonderfully furnished. Was really like being home away from home. Beach cottage is a misnomer... more like mini-mansion. Will stay here again in a heartbeat! A thousand THANK YOUS to the owner.

This was the perfect house for our annual shrimp season reunion. Bigger then it looks, very comfortable accommodations, and huge yard for a boat. Will stay again next year if available. Thank you to the owners

We really enjoyed our time at Quiet Cottage. There was plenty of room to enjoy our time together and not feel like we were on top of one another. Will book again when we plan our next trip to the St. Helena Island and Hunting Island.

Perfect and Relaxing!
This property was so perfect for us. We arrived in the dark and had no idea that we were going to wake up to a beautiful private oasis. The property is everything you would expect from a southern beach house - beautiful old trees everywhere and gorgeous flowers all around. The beach was a short walk and on Sunday morning at 8, no one else was there. It was absolutely wonderful!

I just loved the location being private and so quiet. It was very peaceful to sit and listen to the birds sing. Hunting Island north beach was my favorite spot and the beaches are not crowded at all. Just a great place to relax.

Highly recommend!
The house is well maintained, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, as are the bathrooms (including a hairdryer). The road leading to the house is great for walks--you'll find a beach access path along the way. We'd certainly stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Our stay on St. Helena Island
We loved the area. The people are so friendly and the beach at Hunting Island was beautiful! We will be coming back again! The house is convenient to the beach and grocery stores about 15 mins from each. We went and saw the fort and mainly spent time at the beach. The house was nice and fit my family perfectly. Thank you for sharing you home with us!

REALLY NICE HOME
Very nice home. Clean, well stocked, bigger than expected. Pros: Nice home, very large, beds good, kitchen nice, included free use of golf cart to go to beach access (beach is only good for views and fishing), 20 minutes from Huntington state park which has a very nice beach. Cons: 1. You CANNOT swim at the house beach. It has rocks, tree stumps and sharp clams. There is also bugs that bite because there is no breeze on the beach. The beach is completely unusable at high tide. It does not exists during high tide. 2. Internet at the house. It is non existent. I was getting speeds of well UNDER 1 MBS the entire trip. It is unusable. Cell service is very week at the house but was still 50 X faster internet than the included satellite internet. 3. Closest restaurants and grocery 10-15 miles from house. Overall if you except the limitations (no beach to swim and no internet) it is a very nice property.

Peaceful stay
If you are looking for a place to relax, this is it! Such a quiet neighborhood. Owners are great people to work with! Take time to check out the old fort down the street. They have a nice visitors center open on the weekends. Eat at the Foolish Frog and try the frog water.
