This might be a life-changing VRBO stay. We have used VRBO and similar services a lot over the years and this is the single best rental we've ever encountered. A lovely restoration of a historic eccentric building -- it gave us ideas about things we might try with our own 1848 house. It is already roomy but it was amazing how the high ceilings make it feel airy. We spent time on the two porches and enjoyed the easy walk to the downtown area. We stayed with a pet and visited the nearly-adjacent waterfront park every day. Comfortable beds. We cooked in the large kitchen. We enjoyed the fun nautical-themed decorations. The hosts have added above-and-beyond touches that make a stay more special and memorable, like the rocking chairs or the photo book about the history of the property. We can't recommend it enough!

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.

Loved the cottage as we all like restored historical homes. Close to Savannah 1 Hr drive and a must see restaurant Belford's for sea food. We also loved the USMC and Blue Angels air show. These Planes are going so fast they are hard to keep track of. Will go back there again.

We recently completed a four night stay at The Old Commons. The property is immaculate and very tastefully decorated and appointed. The owners have thoughtfully included many extras that make staying in a VRBO seamless. There were all the little oddities needed to make it seem like a home.
The living room / dining room and kitchen are all wonderfully decorated and flow nicely. Bedrooms are on either end of the property. The master has it's own bathroom, dressing room and a spacious bed room.
The property includes a nice front porch with ceiling fans and porch swings on each end of the porch. There is a small backyard and porch. We saw two nice bikes but just didn't find time to use them.
Overall our stay was fantastic and we'd definitely book again. Beaufort was a small town with many of the beautiful homes otherwise seen in Savannah or Charleston, so we may very well be back.

The house was beautifully restored and the decorated perfectly. Details were not over looked, including the cutest dishes. We arrived early and Alison was very gracious and allowed us to check in several hours early. We will definitely return to this property on our next visit.

The property is lovely and finished to a very high standard. The owner has seemingly thought of everything one might need. It is within walking distance of downtown Beaufort with its nice shops and good restaurants.

The cottage is perfect for 2 couples, 2 adults or a small family. It has everything one would need for a few days to a week’s stay and the kitchen is very well appointed. The location is very convenient and the communication with the property manager was excellent.

This was our third stay at The Old Commons. It is the best vrbo we have rented anywhere. We cannot think of a single negative. A warm and lovely house, a pleasant neighborhood, and cooperative and attentive owners. It does not get any better!

Great location, super clean, great amenities, free bike usage was perfect to explore the area, awesome communications with host. Awesome history on the house and neighbourhood. You could not ask for a better rental experience and we book many rentals yearly and this one is at the top of the list. Experiencing in hosting is evident and appreciated to allow you to relax and focus on your vacation.

This restored home is a gem! We wanted a location very close to town so we could walk to shops and visit friends in the area. We spent time riding bikes and entertained a few nights enjoying the beautiful dining area and wonderful kitchen provided more than expected. This house will not disappoint you and you will find the host has thought of every detail to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The fact that we could bring our small dog along was so helpful. Our sweet girl loves Beaufort and has a few four -legged friends there too!

We really enjoyed the cottage. Every time we stepped through the door we made comments on how lovely it was. Just beautiful, welcoming, and loaded with everything you require plus more. Alison was the perfect host. She answered all my questions and put up with my messages over the impending hurricane. We definitely recommend the cottage and hope to come back again. Going to be hard to beat this vrbo! We're forever spoiled.

Form the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home. The decor is cozy, clean, and inviting. The cottage is immaculate and we honestly just wanted to stay put. Had we not had a weekend filled with wedding festivities, we would have hunkered down and stayed home. I already can’t wait to go back. The owner is wonderful and you must book this cottage!!!

This property was gorgeous and no details left out in terms of little touches. We enjoyed the games, the coffee, special chocolates. We really enjoyed the scrapbook of the remodel and have so many ideas how we want to remodel our own home now after our stay! Allison was so easy to work with and even provided us with info for nearest grocery. The book with local places to eat and comments on their favorites were so helpful. Overall, best VRBO experience we have ever had.

This house is warm and inviting the moment you step inside. We immediately felt at home. It is decorated beautifully and furnished well. It is obvious the owners love this home and the love shines through each detail. It is very comfortable and very clean. The front porch is its own little oasis with a view of the marshland. Several restaurants are within walking distance as well as downtown. We are already planning a return trip for next year!

A wonderful house near "down town"
Well kept. Clean. Beds comfortable. Loved the gas stove, it's what I use at home. Parking for one car. No real issues even with the afternoon thunderstorm typical of the coast. Would stay again.

We cannot wait to visit this house again. Was located in a very quiet and convenient spot. House was perfect - clean, all the amenities and the porch was the icing on the cake. Within the first hour of being there we were all discussing a return visit. :) Thanks so much for a great stay, Bill & Allison!

The cottage was perfect (clean, 2 very nice bed/bath sections, nicely decorated) and located in the Historic district. It's a little bit of a walk to Bay St and it's close to busy Hwy21, but overall not too bad. We used it as a base for day trips to Hunting Island, Hilton Head Island and Savannah and it worked out great. Beaufort is also a nice town to explore. Would highly recommend.

Alison's property is absolutely lovely! The cottage is beautifully decorated (it should be in a magazine) and perfectly outfitted with anything anyone could need. It is located just north of the downtown shopping/restaurant area (although Magnolia Bakery is just across the street) and is an easy walk (10-12 minutes). The book detailing the renovation was a great addition to fully appreciate the degree of work done on the cottage to bring it to its current glory. Communication with Alison was excellent. This would be an outstanding choice for a couple, two couples, or a family visiting Beaufort! Thank you, Alison, for renting such a charming cottage!
