Discovered by the Spanish in 1514 and chartered by the British in1711. Having flown under Seven Flags and known as the "Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands".

We highly recommend staying here! The place was immaculate and comfortable with a lovely view. The location was good—we found it easy to get where we wanted go. We especially appreciated being able to use the pass to Hunting Island State Park—thank you! We would definitely stay here again!

We came down from Ohio with family for our eldest sons Marine bootcamp graduation. The location was amazing for everything that we wanted to do and a fantastic location to Paris Island. The property was clean and orderly and had everything we needed! The pictures do not do it justice, quiet little neighborhood, tucked under beautiful older trees. All communication with the property managers were timely and very helpful. Highly recommend their properties if they keep the others as they do this one.

Mark (and daughter Melissa) were welcoming, informative & helpful during our visit to SC and Tidewatch! We cannot say enough about how immaculate (attention to detail for comfort), lovely cozy perfect and delightful the property was! When we pulled into the Landing it was like entering a theme park at Disney set in THE quintessential South Carolina neighborhood with spanish moss hanging from majestic huge trees! All the lovely homes were pastels and we were right on the Beaufort river overlooking their marina with a great restaurant/incidentals shop within walking distance. Even binoculars provided to pinpoint "flippers" in the river! Beaufort and Hunting Beach Park and "Boneyard" on the Atlantic (pass provided by Mark in Welcome folder!) were just amazing! Am I gushing too much?! If we are ever in SC again, this is the ONLY place you will be 100% satisfied with staying! Thank you SC!

This cottage was perfect and is decorated so cute! Loved sitting out on the deck drinking a glass of wine while watching boats and dolphins go by. Conveniently located to Beaufort, Port Royal and Hunting Island. Marker 244 Restaurant right next door so you could walk for lunch or dinner. Quiet neighborhood and friendly people. Would highly recommend!

Very clean. Nice porch area w/ pull out awning and fan available if needed. Under back porch nice with fans.
Had a very nice stay, we actually got to watch a sailboat race one day which was cool. Saw dolphins and sharks.

We loved the comfort, cleanliness, all the extras, plus the incredible view. Convenient to everything yet still gives a feeling of privacy with the setting. We are all in our 70s and 80s and had no problem accessing everything in the home. We are planning our next sibling gathering again and this is #1 on our list!

Our stay in Port Royal exceeded our expections. The cottage was the main focus of our vacation. We could not get enough of the view from the balcony. The furnishings are clean comfortable and we felt at home throughout the stay. The location is perfect for exploring Port Royal, Beaufort, and the Sea Islands. We found it best to take the bikes by car to one of the Spanish Moss Trail parking lots, but once you are on the trail, you can explore the lower end of Port Royal, including The Sands, or head to The Point and see Historic Beaufort. We have already made reservations for next October.

We came to Port Royal to pick up our new Marine from boot camp. This property was absolutely perfect for us! Such a beautiful and safe neighborhood with very friendly neighbors. This home has everything we could have ever needed and all of it was of high quality. Communication with owners was so easily and any questions I had they responded very quickly. A lovely binder at the house was packed full of helpful information as well as a digital copy I received via email from owners prior to our arrival. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an easy breezy vacation experience. We will be back for sure! 10/10 recommend!

This is our second stay at the home and fourth stay in the neighborhood. The house is comfortable, renter-friendly and just as described. The waterfront view from the back balcony is gorgeous. We love watching the boats go by. The location is perfect - close to downtown Beaufort, Port Royal and Parris Island. You can even walk to the marina restaurant. The neighbors are lovely; we met many while walking our dog in the evenings. Can't say enough nice things about the owners/managers, Mark and his daughter Melissa. We are returning to rent again later this year!
