Beaufort is located on Port Royal Island, in the heart of the Sea Islands and South Carolina Lowcountry. The city is acclaimed for its breathtaking location and for maintaining a historic character by preservation of its antebellum architecture. My home is located in the Downtown area which is a great mix of people, cultures and homes.

There are a few ride-shares around but I wouldn’t completely depend on it. I recommend having a car and/or bicycle if you are only staying in the downtown area. Check out University Bikes or Lowcountry Bicycles for units.

We have multiple short-term units in the area. Our goal is to make your experience a 5+ star. We are local and can help or make recommendations whenever needed. We have a keypad for painless access and check-in. A fenced-in backyard along with a screened-in porch offers privacy. There is a police officer living next door so you should feel additional secure. We have one Hunting Island pass that is good for one car. We do have a Ring doorbell with a camera on the front porch and a floodlight + camera overlooking the backyard only for security. We have YouTube TV. Lastly, we conveniently have beach gear for any beach adventure.

We have a Parris Island graduation handbook we put together to help you navigate graduation.
