Stayed Feb 15, 2026Excellent property. Great location. Located right on the Spanish Moss Trail for biking or walking (with bikes provided!). Great accomodations. Views of the sunset from either the attached 2nd floor deck or the covered deck at the end of the dock. The location was an easy bike ride into Beaufort, slightly longer to get to Port Royal but an easy ride. Would highly recommend.

We recommend this sweet mermaid cottage to anyone traveling. The view was beautiful and location to Beaufort restaurants and shopping was so fabulous. We will be back again.

Stayed Nov 16, 2025Great place, great views, very comfortable. My very minor complaint is that the keyless entry box could be a little brighter to allow guests to be able to read the numbers easier. Again, a very minoir complaint. I'd definitely stat there again, and would recommend the place to friends and family.

Stayed Jun 30, 2025This was such a beautiful location for a few nights away. You couldn’t beat the sunsets from the balcony or dock. Loved biking on the Spanish Moss Trail. This place is truly a gem. It’s not as “private” as it may seem in the pictures. This is someone’s residency. We never personally saw the owners, but they were home. So we just felt like we were always being “watched” and couldn’t enjoy some of the things in the description of the property. Just wanted to let others know this is a cottage above a garage, at someone’s residency. It’s beautiful and quiet nonetheless and such a sweet little place to getaway too. Beaufort is such a sweet, beautiful town!

Stayed Jun 9, 2025Wow! What can I say about this place!? It’s absolutely beautiful! I needed peace and relaxation and I got it. The view out the back porch is breathtaking. I have a convertible and they even have a gorgeous carport I could pull my car out of the weather. They had bikes and kayaks which I didn’t get to use this trip but I’m planning on going back hopefully in the near future. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of staying at The Mermaid Cottage.

Stayed Mar 19, 2025Unit was very nice. The furnishings were well appointed. Although we didn’t cook, the kitchen was well stocked. The bed was softer than we like but that’s just a personal preference. Enjoyed a visit from the neighbor’s cat. It was also nice to be able to have the Spanish Moss Trail right across from the unit for a daily walk.

Stayed Mar 12, 2025Super nice unit-literally right on the Spanish Moss Trail and the water. Unit provides two bicycles (great for riding the trail down to Port Royal) and kayaks, for paddling around during high tide. Historic down town Beaufort is only a 1.4 mile walk. So much to see and do with minimal travel from the adorable unit!

So cute and convenient, we hope to visit again! We would have loved to do some kayaking had the weather been just a little warmer. We had never been to Beaufort before but I'm kind of in love, it's now on our list of potential retirement locations!

The cottage is just perfect for a couple looking for an easy, romantic, carefree location in Beaufort. I was actually looking forward to the shower this year, as i remembered how large it was! The bedding is great for a good night of sleep after days of travel, beach hopping, or kayaking, as we did this year. We will be back again soon!!

We came last year for our honeymoon and brought out little one with. It was nice bringing him back to that place. He also loved the cat! The cat even came to the dock with us our last day and watched us fish for hours. Loved our stay and will definitely be back next year.
