The Sunshine Cottage was built in 1897 and is located in the historic district of Beaufort, close to downtown and Bay Street. Totally renovated while keeping the low country charm; vaulted ceiling in the living room, makes a spacious and airy gathering area. Open concept dining room and kitchen off of the living room is at the front of the house with 3 bedrooms tucked off a central hallway towards the back of the house making for a quiet respite.

The MBR has a queen bed with top of the line mattress with hotel quality sheets and duvet. Side tables and a full dresser/mirror and a large closet. The master en-suite has been totally updated with a tiled floor and shower as well as a pocket door for privacy.

The 2nd bedroom is at the very back of the house and has a full size bed, dresser, closet and side tables. While the 3rd bedroom is a combination space of twin sofa bed, Roku TV and dedicated work space with a desk and ergonomic desk chair. All bedrooms have Hunter fans for comfortable sleeping and sound machines. The hall bathroom has a tiled shower/tub combo with plenty of light streaming in.

Off the back hall is a door to the large paver patio with an umbrella/table and chairs for outdoor dining, a weber style grill and a fire pit and chairs for cooler weather fires. Two adirondack chairs with a side table complete seating for 6 on the patio. The cottage has plenty of street parking; the neighbors leave the space directly in front of the cottage for guest use.

Hunting Island is a 20 minute drive and boasts an amazing state park beach; we provide a state park beach pass for guest use. We supply 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs for your use; guests must bring their own beach towels and other beach gear. Walking downtown is a 10 minute walk; slower if you pause to take in the beautiful bay and the historic homes along the walk.

The cottage is well appointed for short or longer stays since this is our families’ home away from home and we mean for it to be yours as well. The kitchen has everything you need to cook including oils, spices etc. Coffee and a drip coffee maker is provided. There’s a coffee grinder and french press as well. Gas stove, dishwasher and a large refrigerator round out the galley style kitchen. We provide towels, linens, extra pillows and blankets for our guests.

We have 2 Smart TVs/ROKU; one in the living room and 1 in the sitting room/3rd bedroom w/ sofa bed (twin). You can easily stream your Netflix movies using your login as well as other apps. We provide HULU, MAX,and, Paramount+. We ask that guests do NOT sign out of the provided streaming services..

The cottage has a wide porch with rocking chairs and side tables for relaxing and reading with a large potted palm, camellias and azaleas .

PLEASE NOTE: Any violation of house rules, including but not limited to unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets or animals, smoking including vaping indoors, parties or large gatherings as well as use of premises for filming will be grounds for immediate cancellation and removal from the property. Though we live in Hendersonville, NC, our local property manager is available during your stay and we are just a call or text away. Thank you for taking your time to take a look at our cottage and we look forward to having you as our guests soon!

    This house is so clean and the location to Bay St is not a problem for us and we're over 60! The neighborhood is quiet, and the people are so friendly. Awesome front porch and back yard!

    We come to Beaufort once a month for work. This is one of the best homes we have stayed in. Neat, clean everything you would need for a long or short stay. Parking is on the street but it is inset off the road. Quiet area. We didn't get to use the relaxing outside area (too hot) but would in cooler weather. Walked to local resturants (10 mins). Roku tv with extras (HBO/HULU). Home was very organized with plenty of room for our stuff. Charging stations by bedside..why doesn't everyone do that?? We couldn't ask for a better place.

    The host emailed me to cancel my reservation 2 1/2 hours before check in time - something about Vrbo calendars not syncing. The host was polite by text and refunded my costs quickly but I had already arrived in Beaufort. Aliaa with customer service was helpful in getting my costs refunded and provided information on what I could do next but, I got no help with finding a new Vrbo site and spent the next two hours trying to find a hotel since all Vrbo sites were full or because a day of reservation is not possible. Now I have paperwork to complete for my vacation to get reimbursed for the cost difference. I was trying to get away from paperwork. This was not a vacation. It set the mood for the rest of my stay and is probably the worst vacation I have had.

    The cottage was lovely, well decorated and furnished. It was the perfect size for us with a room to spare. We didn’t stay long enough to use the backyard. The location was perfect and a quiet easy walk to downtown. We’d have been happy to stay longer. And would stay again if we come back. Thank you Karen

    This lovely renovated and decorated cottage was perfect for my sister and me as we made a short trip to Beaufort. There is nothing not to love about it from the rocking chairs on the porch, new kitchen and baths, and the cozy, comfortable living area. Oh, and the beautiful patio/back yard! For a few days, a week, or a month this is a wonderful home away!

    Sunshine Cottage is a wonderful place to stay from the decor, location and amenities to the cozy look & feel of each room. Our family stayed the week of Christmas and I was able to cook and bake like I do in my home kitchen. Easy parking in front and loved having Hulu, Max, Peacock and Paramount channels on the TV.

    The check in process was smooth, the location was terrific and the cottage was perfect! My wife and I couldn’t have been happier. We’ll definitely stay here again if it’s available when we visit Beaufort again.

    Took a girls trip to Savannah and decided to do a quick overnight in Beaufort. This cute (not so) little cottage was a nice fit for our evening. We only spent one night so didn't get to enjoy much of the house but wish we could've stayed longer! Perfect night in front of the fireplace watching Christmas movies. Very nicely preserved and decorated. Everything you need in a rental and more! Close to downtown. Enjoyed the downtown & historic districts. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time!

    Our 3rd stay here, visiting from CT, this time with our two adult sons. the cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable for the four of us. Loved exploring the Beaufort area and Hunting Island with the kids. Spent a day in Charleston also, easy ride from the Cottage. I’m sure we will back again in the future.
