Quiet and great location. Convenient to downtown and the beach at Hunting Island state park. If you are looking for a quiet, low key couple’s getaway this is the place for you. Host also provided a pass to hunting island state park which was nice. Really enjoyed our time here. Hope to go back again.

This is an A VRBO! It is a garage apartment that is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had a very nice kitchen that was perfect with a microwave, kitchen sink, and small refrigerator. The location is very convenient between Beaufort and the Sea Islands. Our host was very attentive and we will definitely return!

Everything was perfect for our mini vacation to just get away for a few days. It was very peaceful especially watching the deer and other wildlife that visited the lake. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. This was our second time staying there and we enjoyed every second both times.
