Exceptional charming Beaufort stay

Lovely accommodations. Everything we needed, including items we didn’t know we would need... Such as beach tote and beach towels. Location provided the opportunity to walk and stroll through downtown Beaufort. Being able to stay in this historic area made our trip very special. It felt like home. Thank you for your hospitality. You have a truly special place.

Heavenly Place

The property is awesome, the family that owns and operates it is wonderful and the location is perfect. Cannot say enough great things about our stay. The grounds are beautiful and the unit we stayed in is perfect for three adults. It is comfortable and completely equipped - everything with a perfect touch of "southern" hospitality. We loved it and would book it again and again and again!

Beautiful Property and location

We had a wonderful time at the Carriage House. The location was perfect for exploring downtown restaurants and sites. The beautiful courtyard was a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee, read a book or have a discussion. We would definitely go back . The owners were very helpful is we ever needed anything.

Beautiful Beaufort

My sister and I were first timers in Beaufort, SC. We stayed at the gorgeous carriage house at the corner of Craven and Newcastle streets. The housing was more than we even expected—spotlessly clean, beautiful antique furnishings, comfortable beds, AC worked great, and beautifully appointed, including some of the host’s original artwork. We can’t wait to return!!

This is such a beautiful location and property! The owners provide an immaculate and lovely decorated rental property! My daughter and her bridesmaids rented both units for her wedding weekend. The space and location were absolutely perfect for walking or driving the golf cart to locations downtown! A safe and lovely rental hosted by gracious owners! Just lovely! Both units provide gorgeous and relaxing interiors!

Don't Miss This Place

My friend and I went to Beaufort to have a relaxing weekend. The cottage was perfect. We walked to breakfast, lunch, and dinner because town is two blocks away. The waterfront with tables and walkways is beautiful as is walking the streets looking at the beautiful homes. Mike and Ellen are so hospitable. We sat on their porch for an afternoon chat one day. The cottage is perfect size for the two of us. They had Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu for you to choose from if you were home. Every detail was thought of and it was exceptionally clean. Don't forget to eat at Lost Local, Old Bull Tavern, Palms, and Rain and Bagel. It is a wonderful little town and the Carriage House contributed to a perfect getaway. Also, say hello to Kip, the very friendly cat!

Even more in love with Beaufort now!

Excellent. Perfect. 10/10. Wonderful. How many ways can we express our appreciation to Ellen and Mike for hosting us in their wonderful property nestled under the oaks dripping in Spanish moss in the perfect location in historic Beaufort? First of all, this couple is truly amazing! They care so much and genuine hospitality runs through their veins. Second, this property is very special because they have created an authentic Beaufort experience. Undoubtedly, this environment added to our enjoyment of sweet downtown. Third, you can walk all over…to meals, to sunrise and sunset over the water, to the swings, to shopping, to treats, to watch the swing bridge open as sailboats pass through and more! Stay here! We plan to stay here again…and the sooner, the better!

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Beaufort – Pure Southern Charm!

We can’t wait to go back! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and elegance of this stunning Carriage House. The property itself is an absolute dream—immaculately maintained, with gorgeous landscaping that welcomes you into a private oasis of serenity. The cobblestone drive leading to the cottage added an extra touch of historic charm, making us feel like we had stepped into a storybook.As we strolled down the garden path through the lush courtyard, we were already enchanted before even stepping inside. And then—what a delight! The cottage was warm, inviting, and impeccably designed, blending modern comforts with timeless Lowcountry character. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the cozy furnishings to the soft lighting that created an ambiance of total relaxation.Mornings were spent sipping coffee on the charming patio, surrounded by birdsong and a gentle coastal breeze, while evenings were perfect for unwinding under the twinkling Southern sky. The location could not have been better—just minutes from downtown Beaufort’s delightful shops, restaurants, and waterfront, yet tucked away in a peaceful retreat that felt like our own private escape.Ellen and Mike, you are the most gracious hosts, and your hospitality truly made our stay exceptional. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us! We are already counting down the days until we can return to this magical retreat.

Close enough to walk to Bay St.

Although we were close enough to everything that we could walk, the area was very quiet. The house was well furnished. Even had bug repellent, beach towels, and sun block, for our drive to Hunting Island. We used the queen bedroom and the bed was very comfy. We will definitely book the Carriage House again.

Charming carriage house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in the ground floor space of the charming two-story carriage house. The property was immaculately clean and fresh, and had everything we needed. The shaded porch had rocking chairs to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful gardens. The location is perfect - close to Bay Street in the heart of the historic district. We will stay again when we return to Beaufort!
