Vintage River Cottage on the Okatie River Between Beaufort Bluffton

Sometimes you see pictures online and the reality is not as nice. Oakatee cottage is the opposite. Everything was 100% perfect; from the hosts to the comfort of southern living to being centrally located. This is the perfect place to relax after exploring: Charleston, Beaufort, Savannah, Hilton head! What a wonderful vacation. Many thanks Isabella and Jerry!

This is a perfect place for pets. Lots of room, beautiful grounds and areas to walk. The kitchen was well appointed but shows its' age.

Host is amazing. Property is beautiful. Perfect peaceful getaway!

We came to find the ‘Vintage River Cottage’, as we were looking for an alternative to staying in a hotel for over a week.. we would be in town to help my parents as they begin a difficult life transition. We wanted a place to unwind and decompress at the end of the day. This cottage hit ALL the marks: quiet, comfortable, peaceful, and, if possible, I would say, nurturing for the soul. I would describe it as ‘the grandparents’ cottage’; more for the historical feel of the cottage. However, the cottage is outfitted with functional, comfortable furniture and homey decor (lots of beautiful artwork, within, too). This was so much more than the usual rental places we have stayed in before.. almost like it was their second home. If you are looking for something quaint and quirky (and historical- as the cottage is 100 years old!), you will not be disappointed!

This is a beautiful old southern cottage on a beautiful piece of property . We enjoyed the porch overlooking the river and marsh. Very well equipped. Lovely owners. We will be back.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Isabella was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make sure everything was as we needed it. The place was so comfortable and a great view of the marsh. We are definitely going back again.

This cottage is very quaint and a historical preserved landmark. It turned 100 this year and has been beautifully preserved. The owners built their main home on the same property and are amazing. They are in close proximity to the cottage but give you your privacy and space. We had an unusually long stay of almost 1 month and were very comfortable for the entire stay. I cannot say enough good things about it. Not fancy or modern but very quaint and comfortable!!! Thank you Jerry and Izzy for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

Owner was so accommodating and the property was sooo cute and relaxing. Has everything you need for a great vacation. We highly recommend!

It was wonderful! Loved the house and the location!

I took my niece and some friends fishing for a long weekend during a college break and this property was amazing.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Okatee cottage. The owners are very gracious and helpful. The history of the house and the location is just amazing. Loved sitting out on the dock and seeing the dolphins. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you again.

Very nice property. Loved sitting on the screen porch and listening to and watching the birds. Owners were very accessible but not intrusive. Plenty of space and amenities. A quiet retreat in a busy part of the country!Accessible to many nature areas and interesting towns.Would recommend.

Thank you for your kindness!!We enjoyed our visit. Your home is beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Your home is beautifully decorated!Plenty of room!Thank you!!

Great place/people and location

My husband and I needed a short term rental while awaiting moving into our new home on Callawassie Island. The location was ideal and Isabella and Jerry could not have been more accommodating! The cottage setting is LOVELY and the antique furnishings simply added to it's appeal for me. The kitchen was very well appointed as well. We highly recommend this great property and wonderful hosts!

Truly a magical trip back in time. You imagine a southern novel taking place here
