Nice cozy cottage - just what we were looking for. The courthouse is just across the street with a nice park and farmer’s market on Saturday so it was easy to take our dog out for a walk. There are a couple of coffee shops within two blocks towards town and great for breakfast. We love Beaufort and this is our third trip to town she loves all the nice shops and he really enjoys the history. Quiet and peaceful.
Our little one liked looking out the front door and loved the park across the street!
