Quiet beach cottage with unique local attractions nearby

Skip the overcrowded beaches this year and discover the hidden gem of South Carolina’s low country. Charming, comfortable, clean beach cottage with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus a sleeper sofa in the large sunroom. Two decks and a patio, fully equipped kitchen and gas grill available. Quiet area and private location on 6 lots.

You will find plenty to do nearby:

Bring your own boat or book one of the local fishing charters for an opportunity to catch Flounder, Black Drum, Redfish, Tripletail, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout.

Walking distance to Fort Fremont Historical Preserve. Built in 1899 to protect Port Royal Naval Station on Parris Island during the Spanish American War, it was used again as a Union army base during the Civil War. Explore the century old fort and battery along with the trails among beautiful moss-covered trees.

20 minutes to Hunting Island State Park... one of the few remaining undeveloped sea islands where you can find shells and sharks teeth on the beach, play in the ocean, climb Hunting Island lighthouse, fish off the newly opened pier, visit the nature center, and explore miles of secluded biking or walking trails.

20 minutes to quaint, historic Downtown Beaufort with shopping, dining, a public playground, marina, carriage tours and more.

Book now to enjoy a peaceful and restorative vacation without all the commercialized touristy hustle of many beach towns

So much space! The yard was so private and the house has a griddle (which got lots of use!) and a coffee maker. The host was very quick to respond and helpful. We really appreciated getting to use the SC park pass! That was excellent!

Ben was easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. Check in and check out were simple. The cottage location is private, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the family room and enclosed porch offers plenty of room and furniture to spread out. We stayed during the recent snow storm, the house remained warm and the heat component in the bathroom was indulgence. Loved it! I would definitely recommend.

Family Retreat

Want to get away from it all and experience Beaufort SC's Sea Islands? Then this is the place. This is a comfortable cottage in a fairly remote part of St. Helena Island. We are familiar with the area and were not expecting anything too fancy so we were happy with it. It was clean, the kitchen was functional for meal prep and the owners were friendly and helpful. The cottage had lots of space indoors as well as a deck and patio. Would book again.

Precious Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beach cottage and hope to be back in the future. We have family nearby so it was a great landing spot to be near them as well as Beaufort. The grounds are beautiful with meticulous landscaping, and it’s close to Fort Freemont if you like to explore historical sites. This is the perfect place for a quiet getaway on the island!

Great little beach cottage

My husband and children and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here at the cottage. It’s close to beach access and the nearby historical fort, all an easy and pleasant walk from the cottage. Roger was communicative and friendly. Would like to book again if we’re in the area.

Hidden Gem

We arrived after dark and was happy to have lights come on upon arriving. The home is wonderfully furnished. Was really like being home away from home. Beach cottage is a misnomer... more like mini-mansion. Will stay here again in a heartbeat! A thousand THANK YOUS to the owner.

We really enjoyed our time at Quiet Cottage. There was plenty of room to enjoy our time together and not feel like we were on top of one another. Will book again when we plan our next trip to the St. Helena Island and Hunting Island.

Perfect and Relaxing!

This property was so perfect for us. We arrived in the dark and had no idea that we were going to wake up to a beautiful private oasis. The property is everything you would expect from a southern beach house - beautiful old trees everywhere and gorgeous flowers all around. The beach was a short walk and on Sunday morning at 8, no one else was there. It was absolutely wonderful!

I just loved the location being private and so quiet. It was very peaceful to sit and listen to the birds sing. Hunting Island north beach was my favorite spot and the beaches are not crowded at all. Just a great place to relax.
