Great family trip!

We had the best trip at King Street Cottage! It is beautiful, clean, cozy, and well stocked. No detail was overlooked from the supplies in the kitchen to the toiletries in the bathrooms. The towels and linens were very soft and the beds were very comfortable. We loved being able to walk into town - the location was terrific. Overall an amazing family vacation!

We (2 retired couples) had an excellent experience at King Street Cottage. The location was convenient, and the property was beautifully furnished. It was charming, well-stocked, clean, and comfortable. The spaciousness added to the appeal, and we had no issues during our stay. Beaufort is a beautiful historic city. Highly recommend!”

Richard is a great host. The house had everything and everythjng was of great quality. We couldn't fault it. We had a realy lovely time. The main town centre is 12 mins walk away. The beds were really comfortable and rhe kitchen was a dream. Would definitely recommend for short or lknger stays. Felt like a home from home. A lively touch was a list of wveryrhing that was on in the area during our stay, some chocolates and a gift card for the cafe xlose by. An absolute star of a property.

Perfection !!

This is the second time we have stayed in this cottage but hopefully, will not be the last. It is perfect in every aspect from the host, to the cleanliness, location, comfort and in many more ways. Without a doubt to us, this is the BEST vacation rental in Beaufort, SC.

The sweetest cottage

Our family enjoyed our stay at King Street Cottage so much! The level of hospitality far exceeds any place I have ever stayed. The kitchen is fully stocked with all your cooking needs, the beds are comfortable, it’s spotless, and they even have adorable custom bottles of soaps and lotions in each bathroom. They have really thought of every guest’s needs. We truly felt at home, we will be back again!

The King Street Cottage is a beautiful home in a very desirable part of Beaufort. The location is within convenient walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants, and the waterfront. The cottage floor plan and high ceilings provide a sense of space and comfort that is unusual in a two bedroom cottage. It is also very well appointed, in a manner that you only see from someone who understands what it means to be a gracious host. We had a wonderful visit! Thank you Richard for all of the thoughtful details, and your prompt and helpful communication with us. And for offering this beautiful place. We loved staying there!
