Nothing conveys our love and appreciation for Allison's cottage in the Old Commons section of Beaufort more than the fact that we have already rented it for next year and can't wait to return!

This little cottage was just perfect. It was very clean and beautiful decorated. We went for my son’s marine graduation and location of the cottage was just a 20 minute drive to Parris Island.

Congress
Really tastefully decorated, clean and nicely equipped cottage. We had a great stay. Just a suggestion, and not a complaint: other rentals in Beaufort normally have beach towels, many beach chairs, even a beach umbrella for some. With beaches in the area, it would enhance the experience to have similar equipment available, even a pass to Hunting Island. Thanks!

2nd visit - we love this property
Wonderful cottage, very clean and welcoming. Lovely decor. Our 2nd stay felt like coming home. Location is ideal. We took advantage of the cooler weather to explore the neighborhood & walk to town. Met lots of friendly locals who were only too happy to share information & make recommendations. Looking forward to our next visit.
