We always want to stay here when we visit. Enjoyed the beach, dining out and walking downtown. The local library down the street provided researcher appointments and was a great addition to this trip. Already booked again for fall tours. Terri

Beaufort visited again

Loved the property….neighborhood was quiet. Few houses down the street that were in poor condition. Never felt uncomfortable. Liked the security system. For privacy, needs to be curtains or blinds on windows on each side of door. Also could use an extra hook or two in the master bathroom. The history of the house was interesting and restoration was amazing . Very comfortable and well decorated. Would stay there again .

Charming Freedman's cottage

This beautifully renovated Freedman's cottage, filled with history if only walls could talk, is a joy to stay in. This was our third year and we enjoyed every moment. The addition of the rocking chairs on the front porch was wonderful. We were disappointed only in that we were unable to rebook for next year as it was already taken!

Beautiful, Clean, Great location

This property is absolutely beautiful! Truly one of the cleanest and well-equipped properties I’ve ever stayed in. You’re drive to popular locations, such as Bay Street and the water, is very short but the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner is very helpful and accommodating, even allowing us to check in early due to housekeeping being ahead of schedule. If we’re ever back in the area, this is where we’ll be staying!

Beautiful Historic Remodel!

This historic remodel is our favorite so far! This home looks and feels like an old home, but all modern needs have been met. Both bedrooms have very comfortable beds and wonderful showers. Great for 2 couples. Short walk…plenty of parking for those of us who drove…great shops and food. A visit to Beaufort, SC is a vacation well spent. Alison was wonderful and so helpful!

Exceptional Experience from start to finish!

This is our third stay in Beaufort and 722 Congress Street has been EXCEPTIONAL. The beautifully restored historic home, in the Historic District, is beyond charming. Just pack an overnight bag, nothing else is needed once you arrive. Everything you would need is here waiting for you. I caught myself saying "Let's go Home and sit on the front porch". Alison responded quickly and was warm and welcoming. We hope to return soon.

Perfect stay!

If you're looking to stay in the Beaufort area, look no further. This well appointed home is literally the PERFECT house--one of the best homes I've ever rented. The owners thought of every need--it is definitely a home away from home. My husband & I traveled with our three teens (& our very well-behaved dog!) and couldn't have been happier with the dwelling. It's a beautiful old home, renovated perfectly--marrying its historic features with modern day amenities. We truly lacked for nothing--the kitchen was fully equipped for anything we wanted to prepare, the beds were super comfy, the showers a delight (shampoo provided!). We used the washer & dryer multiple times as well--essential when you're traveling with kids. And the central AC felt amazing after long walks in the sweltering southern heat! The location is also perfect--within walking distance of the cute little downtown, as well as a few minute drive to the grocery store. We also took day trips to Savannah, Charleston & Tybee Island. This home served as the perfect home base. Alison was a premier host--checking in when we arrived, but leaving us to our own devices so as not to smother (I've had a couple of hosts hang on the premises, which is always a bit awkward!). Should we return to the area, we will rent this place again. Absolute perfection. Don't hesitate to rent this property--it's earned its 5 star reviews!

We loved our stay at this gorgeous home. The bed was super comfy and we had amazing sleep. The kitchen was well-stocked and beautiful. I wish we had an opportunity to cook more. We enjoyed riding the bikes into town to grab coffee in the morning and dinner at night. The cafe across the street was a lovely perk as well!!.

The cottage is lovely, comfy and welcoming. The location was perfect , very close to everything. Magnolias cafe across the street is wonderful. Neighborhood is very quiet and the people are very friendly. We walked to downtown (10 blocks) and through the beautiful neighborhood to see the big lovely homes. Every morning sat on the front porch having coffee and watching the water and boats It was a great vacation and we will be back next year.
