Perfect getaway

Our week could not have been better. The goal was a relaxing getaway… mission accomplished, expectations exceeded! We explored the area but always looked forward to getting back ‘home’. The cottage was exceedingly clean and well appointed, the grounds were beautiful, within walking distance to all things Bluffton, and so on. Highly recommend this spot. We certainly want to get back as soon as possible. Thank you Kelsey for opening your home to us.

We stayed here for our wedding! It is the most gourgus property we’ve stayed at in so long, and we are locals to Hilton head!! I was able to come get ready here for my wedding, which was nextdoor at the oyster park, and have my bridal portraits taken in the backyard as well. The property was so stunning that all the photos turned out so amazing. The home is the perfect size for us and it felt so big with the high ceilings. The bathroom is amazing and the bed was so comfortable after a long night of dancing. Thank you for an amazing stay!!

Cedar Bluff cottage

This is an amazing low country cottage on the grounds of the historic Cedar Bluff property in Bluffton, SC on the banks of the May River. It is the most comfortable and cozy cottage one could ever hope to find on VRBO. Please book a stay; you won't regret it!!

What a wonderful cottage, was way more beautiful than I expected!

The grounds are superb as is the pier-I saw so many dolphins! My hosts were great and told me about lots of great places to go...and I could walk into town in 10 minutes. Couldn’t be happier.

Slice of Heaven

The Cedar Bluff Cottage on the May River is so beautiful and peaceful--it truly is a slice of heaven! The cottage is comfortable and has everything you might need for a stay in Bluffton, SC. The private river dock and river views are breathtaking, the landscaping on the property is meticulously maintained, and the short walk into Old Town Bluffton makes this the perfect location for a small town getaway. Kelsey is a joy to work with, as well. I would highly recommend this property and I hope to be back in the near future! Once word gets out about this hidden gem it will be booked months in advance!

Lovely place and warm hospitality

Rather than stay at a Hilton Head hotel, we spent five days here instead. We made the right decision! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Bluff Cottage. It is located on a historic property with a beautiful view of the May River. Joe, the owner, lives on the site and lovingly restored the original home and built the cottage as well as another building that serves a variety of purposes. (An article about the restoration was published in a local magazine.) The cottage is thoughtfully decorated to fit in with the setting and extremely well built too. Both houses included materials from the original home which also preserved the history of this site. We were invited to enjoy the view of the river from his yard, where I saw a school of dolphins, and use his kayaks and bicycles. We took him up on all of those activities as well as throwing tennis balls for Winston, a Bloodhound/Labrador who also resides on the premises. Kelsey, Joe's daughter, manages the property, and she did an excellent job communicating with us and working with our schedule. I have stayed at many VRBO/ AirB&B properties of the years, and this was the nicest one! Ellen O'Neill-Stephens

Amazing!!!

We had such a fun ladies' trip; staying at the Cedar Bluff Cottage was the best! The home is perfect - beautifully decorated and in such a great location. The Live Oak trees, dripping with Spanish Moss, set the stage for a true southern getaway. If you like birds, you will want to be out on the back porch at daybreak - so many species darting among the flowers and bushes. And best of all, you can spend your evening sitting dockside on the May River - we loved watching a dolphin chasing its dinner. Nestled in the heart of Bluffton, this cottage was one of the best VRBOs we've experienced. We can't wait to go back.

Fantastic stay in Bluffton

This property is in the perfect location for a weekend stay in Bluffton. Beautiful setting a short walk to Olde Town and all it has to offer. We enjoyed great meals at Farm and Pearl, but may have enjoyed relaxing around the property even more. Would Definitely come back again!

A slice of paradise!

Our two night stay was perfect! The cottage was incredible!! No detail overlooked! After we arrived, a light rain started and we simply enjoyed listening to the sound of rain on the metal roof back porch! The bed and linens were very comfortable - just like a luxury hotel! The grounds and landscaping on this property are amazing! It was also a treat to chat with the owner and hear some of the property’s history! We WILL return! Thank you, Kelsey!

Great for outdoors

Covid and a tropical storm impacted my stay. There is not flexibility but when there it is a good place for those who want to eat out and just hang outdoors. Kitchen is lacking as just wine cooler and there is no flexibility in bad weather conditions. So just make sure you can make it and want to eat out and don’t need any special requests. But amazing location.

Beautiful property, relaxing getaway

This cottage was perfect for a couple's getaway! The property is accurately described and pictured and even more beautiful in person. It is comfortable and cozy yet plenty of space for two people. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the back porch, reading on the patio's rocking chairs, and kayaking in the May River. It is a quick walk nearby restaurants and shops. We highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!
