Charming Waterfront Carriage House

The carriage house is newly built, and features a spacious living area with Satellite TV, High Speed Internet, separate bedroom with queen sized bed, full kitchen with bar, bath, laundry, and a stunning vaulted ceiling with professional interior design appointments. The living quarters are on the second floor of the Carriage House and require 13 steps.

This charming waterfront carriage house on lady’s island overlooking factory creek, is on a one acre beautifully landscaped property, minutes from downtown Beaufort and the low country sea islands. There is a 150’ walkway, pier house, and floating dock for fishing. The waterfront view of a 2000-acre marsh, rivers, and creeks is spectacular.

Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best small southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine.

Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of numerous smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars. Visitors are provided a rich experience of history, culture, dining, annual events, cultural festivals, arts and outdoor recreation.
Henry chambers waterfront park winds along the glistening Beaufort River with a vista of marsh islands and waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where elegant mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent restaurants and boutique one-of-a-kind shops line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local restaurants to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion pictures, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.

The waterfront and pier house are all available to guests. A full- service marina is located 1/4 mile from the property on Factory Creek. Pets may be allowed under special circumstances for an additional fee.

Dan and Bobbie, our sweet hosts, met us at check-in and showed us the property.This carriage house was absolutely perfect for the two of us. It is very open with nautical decor, and makes you feel like you're living the coastal life. We enjoyed sitting on the dock. It is immaculate, comfortabe and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Great location ... close to Beaufort, Hunting Island State Park, stores and restaurants. We would love to stay here again if we get back this way. Thank you Dan and Bobbie!

Great and quiet place!

This was our second time staying here in the last two years and it was just as great as the first time! The place is perfect and has everything you need, the water views and sunsets on the dock are pristine and relaxing. The owner Mr. Dan wasn’t there that week, but he still made sure we were taken care of by calling or texting us a few times to check on us and make sure we were enjoying the place and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back in the future again!

Absolutely great

Absolutely great, we would like to thank Bobbie and Dan for a wonderful time at their home on Ladies Island. Dan and Bobbie were such wonderful hosts and really Made everything to make sure our stay was perfect. Dan greeted us on arrival and took the time to show us around the property. They even invited us for cocktails at their house. Dan was so helpful and did everything for us to support us in a difficult situation.We are so glad we met them and can't wait to visit again in the future. The Carriage House exceeded all our expectations. It is perfectly equipped and furnished with great attention to detail in a maritime style. We especially enjoyed the afternoons until sunset on the boat dock. If we could give more than the possible 5 points, every additional point would be absolutely deserved. We would very much like to come back soon.

Amazing stay near Beaufort!

This carriage house exceeded our expectations. The owners were lovely and available to answer our questions promptly. They are very knowledgeable about the area. The carriage house had everything we could possibly need (and more). It was clean and spacious. Our favorite spot was the breakfast nook. Perfect for drinking morning coffee as the sun rose. If you stay, make sure you plan a sunset on the dock. It’s stunning. There is so much to do in this area. We enjoyed Hunting state park, downtown Beaufort, Sands beach (great for finding shark teeth) and even did a day trip to Edisto (about 1hr 20 min drive.)This home is an amazing place to come back to after your stay!

Scenic location with lovely marsh and creek views. The property was very comfortable and well maintained, all amenities were provided and in good working condition. The property manager was friendly and accommodating. He and his wife gave us privacy and let us make the most of enjoying the sunset views from their dock. It was a great getaway for us. We love the area and hope to get back to the Lowcountry soon. Many thanks to Dan and Bobbie

Ideal and Welcoming

This is a lovely one-bedroom apartment, charmingly decorated and comfortable with everything you could need. The location worked for us because we wanted to be near downtown Beaufort (but not IN it), and also near the grocery store and nature walks---a beach view was not a priority for us, though this has a lovely slice of the waterway from the dining room table. The hosts, Dan and Bobbie, are absolutely the best--thoughtful and attentive. We loved it so much, we will return next year. We could not have been happier!

Perfect!

We’d been to Beaufort before, but were looking for a more “like home” experience. Dan’s carriage apartment was perfect! Spacious living area, well equipped kitchen, quiet bedroom, generous bath and full-sized laundry. Plus, not just a view of the river, but a welcome invitation to venture out to the gazebo on the dock for cocktails while watching the sunset. Dan is friendly and knowledgeable about Beaufort, it’s history, places to go, and things not to be missed. The location is serene, but close to downtown. We look forward to returning in the future.
