What a beautiful and inviting home to stay in. We stayed here when we went to Parris Island for Family week and to pick up our new Marine. Would definitely recommend this lovely place to stay. Very clean and such very friendly hosts!! AAA+++ for sure!!

We highly recommend this house. It is clean and bright and just minutes away from Parris Island. Even on family & graduation days we were so close that we had no problems getting anywhere quickly. Also close to the grocery & several restaurants. It was really a great stay.

The host canceled this reservation 73 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house is exactly described. Virtually brand new. Easily sleeps six. Two full baths...stainless steel appliances. About 5-10 minutes to Parris Island. Super convenient for Family Day and Graduation. Plenty of great restaurants in Port Royal and Beaufort. Alice was great...check-in/check-out seamless. Take advantage of this secluded beauty. Although we did not get to take advantage of the (URL HIDDEN) is literally right down the block. If you have a need to visit Port Royal/Beaufort...this IS the place to stay!

Great location and a beautiful home to stay in!

We loved staying at the Sands Cottage. It was a wonderfully quiet neighborhood and we loved using their golf cart to get around. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, sunrises and birds. Alice and Mike were very gracious and attentive to our needs. The cottage has many nice touches such as heated bathroom floors, internet access, hand held shower heads, washer and dryer, quality paper products and a plentiful supply of towels! We would come back again!

Fantastic experience. Attention to detail around the condo made the stay feel luxurious. My 7 yo even commented, "She put a lot of thoughtful things in here" and "She decorates good". Alice was easy to work with and generous in all ways!

What a fantastic place! so quaint, quiet, cozy, and beautiful surroundings; close to downtown Beaufort as well as Parris Island. Alice and Mike were fantastic hosts; very attentive; made sure we had everything we could possibly need for our stay. True Southern hospitality at it's finest! Perfect place to have a relaxing stay; felt at home the minute we drove into the driveway.

Alice and her husband meet us to check us in and familiarize us with the house. They were very welcoming. The cottage was exactly as pictured and was so charming and comfortable for our family! The house , deck and yard is really just lovely. Also we loved the sleepy town of Port Royal and that Sand Beach was so close, we used the golf cart to get there. Riding the golf cart was our grandkids favorite part. Beaufort is a short drive away and has a charming downtown and river front. The best part was taking advantage the state park pass and driving to the Hunting Island Beach for the day. It's just a beautiful clean beach and grand kids had so much fun. We would diffidently come back again, we really enjoyed our time at the Sands Cottage.

We were visiting South Carolina for my younger sisters marine graduation. This rental was perfect for my family of 5. It was minutes from Parris Island and a 10m drive from down town restaurants/bars/shopping! My mom and dad couldn't stop telling me how happy they were that I found this beautiful cottage. We were especially happy with the gold cart, grill, and fire pit that came with the rental. If we are ever in the area again we will stay here! I would recommend this place to everyone!

The Sands Cottage is the perfect location for the Marine graduation. It's so close to Parris Island that you can hear the activities they have going on, while relaxing on the deck. The house was absolutely spotless and had all the necessities. It felt like home and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone asking!! Thank you Alice for sharing your home!

Great for spring break with family. Cute area and close to several shops, museums, beach, etc.

This house is charming and comfortable, in a nice quiet, attractive neighborhood. The streets were nice for walking and there was one restaurant within walking distance...many others a very short drive away. Beaufort is also a short drive away and lovely to visit. Our host was super responsive, which made the check-in, stay and check-out easy. She also answered questions as they arose. We would definitely return to this house for a quiet vacation.

This house was great! The location was perfect, the neighborhood was very family oriented and just a 10 minute walk from the Sands. Tina was a great host and always got right back to any questions or calls we had. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful House and surrounding. Close to the Beach where you even can spot Dolphins. Close to everything. The House has everything but could be a Bit more cleaner.

We booked this property as our family's 'home base' during my brother's USMC graduation week. The proximity to Parris Island can't be beat. Highly recommend this location for other families doing the same. It is a jam-packed week with many early mornings and you'll be glad to be so close! Communication with Tina was excellent and instructions regarding the property were detailed. The house was made up nicely and very clean upon arrival. Cute and charming - just as pictured. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming. Would love to return to the area for a visit to the area again. Thanks all!

Our stay was wonderful. We were here for my sons graduation from boot camp at Parris Island. It is only minutes to the base and in a very quite neighborhood. The house was very clean and updated. Plenty of room for 8 people. When we asked about garbage bags they were delivered in minutes. It was a very pleasurable stay. Thank You :)

We were wowed as soon as we walked in! Beautiful and comfortable home. Our plans changed during the storm and Jami was very accommodating. Thank you for everything.

This was the perfect place to stay for our graduation trip. It is close to Parris Island and there is a nice little beach just around the corner. It was very clean and roomy and had everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommended!

David and Jami's place is a wonderful place to stay. It's spacious, very clean, and a great location to stay when coming to a Parris Island graduation. My communication with Jami was also wonderful. She was very friendly, helpful, and very quick to respond to me when I had questions. I would highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful home convenient to Port royal, Beaufort and the Marine Corps base. This adorable and very comfortable home is in a quiet secluded community with very welcoming neighbors. There is a lovely beach and pier conducive to long walks and beautiful sunsets. The beds are soft and the towels are fluffy and everything is clean and in order. The owners are very responsive and provide great communication both before and during your stay. The Wi-Fi is excellent and there are three televisions throughout the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the successful celebration of our sons graduation from Boot Camp was greatly enhanced by our stay in this house. Highly recommended.

Jami and David's place was clean, spacious and comfortable. The views of the water was an added plus and the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Close to a little beach in which to hunt for shark teeth fossils. The town was easy to walk around with some shops, restaurants and a coffee shop.

Wow! I cannot believe how beautiful this house is! We had such a great time. I will definitely come back if I am in the area. It was so close to Parris Island. Beautiful walk around the neighborhood. It had a park nearby for the kids. Everything in the house was perfect to the kitchen to the bathrooms! The decor was so homie!

Jami was so sweet, if I texted her she got right back to me. The house was perfect, we all wanted to stay there longer. The neighborhood was so unique, we don't have unique neighborhoods like that where we are from. I would stay there again, if I am in the area.

We stayed in Julia's place for my son's marine graduation at Parris Island. Julia is an excellent host. She helped me with the directions to Parris Island and suggested us places to eat near the home. The place was very nice and clean. It was a pleasure to be there....

It is clear the moment we pull into the driveway that Julia loves what she does and where she lives. Her home is beautiful and welcoming; and our private room, sitting room, and bathroom are clean and supremely comfortable. Julia reaffirms our decision to try Airbnb on this trip. We HIGHLY recommend this place! Julia is warm and friendly, and she knows everything about everywhere, so feel free to ask her about places to eat and to visit. Her home is in historic and stunning Beaufort, a short drive from Savannah and Charleston. It is artistically decorated with paintings and murals (she is an artist) and well-stocked with travel books. We love sitting on her back porch under the ceiling fans at breakfast, listening to the cheerful sounds of birds. Julia offers us coffee and muffins every morning and great conversations at any given time. From the super comfortable king-sized bed to the plush, soft towels, Julia leaves no detail unattended. We are lucky to have found this home away from home.

My Stay at Julia's place was wonderful! She made me feel welcome and helped with directions to where I was needing to attend. though I only stay 3 nights, I feel like I have a new friend, and miss my welcomed conversation when I returned each night. Both of Julia's dogs were wonderful! I miss their barks of 'hello' come on in! I would highly recommend Julia's place to anyone. The location was peaceful, beautiful gardens, and clean, and the most comfortable bed. I hope to return for a visit in the future! Thank you Julia for making me feel so welcome and comfortable!

Julia has a beautiful home and is a wonderful hostess. She even left an umbrella out for me one night because it would be raining when I got home. Stay here instead of a hotel really made my son's Parris Island graduation special.

We had a great time at Julia´s house! Julia is a great host, she was really caring and made us feel comfortable. We enjoyed blueberry muffins and coffee with her in the morning. The two rooms are very spacious, clean and beautifully painted! Thank you also for the nice chats and advices. My girlfriend Kathi still talks about your dog Gyps! :)

I loved my stay at Julia's. She is an amazing lady with great talent. Her home is clean and relaxing. You can tell that art runs in her veins from the painting on the walls to the bird feeder on the back porch. The bedroom was calming and the bed itself was great! The sitting room was perfect for a night in enjoying a movie. The bath room is private down the hall from the bedroom and it is clean and decorated just like the other two rooms. The neighborhood was great, quiet, and peaceful. If I lived in a coastal town, I would want to live on this street. Beautiful trees line the streets, deer are abundant and hummingbirds welcome you throughout the day.

This was my first stay at an airbnb host home and I was not quite sure what to expect. I truly enjoyed my stay with Julia. After a long day working, it was nice to arrive and to be able unwind on the back porch while enjoying a glass of wine. Much more relaxing than a hotel. Thanks for making our stay great!

It was a pleasure to stay in Julia's beautiful home, she made us very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, it felt like home from home. Julia lent us beach umbrella's, chairs, and towels, for a day at the beach. Without it, we would have roasted, so it was very thoughtful of her to sort us out. It was nice to be able to relax with a glass of wine on the porch overlooking her tranquil garden. The dogs were great, no problem with them at all. The rooms were immaculate, and spacious. Cat island is a beautiful, upmarket area. We would love to go back

My family stayed here while attending our son's Marine graduation. The quiet neighborhood and welcoming atmosphere of the home made for a great getaway! We had a fun time crabbing off the dock, exploring Fort Fremont down the road, and playing on the beach behind the fort. The porch behind the house overlooks the river and makes a great spot to unwind and relax. All the necessities are provided and then some, we only had to bring our own food which we bought at the local Publix. This house definitely has the feel of a home away from home, I highly recommend it!

Nancy was so sweet and even had snacks for us. There isn't a ton to do in Port Royal but Beaufort is close and it's a cute little town that's perfect for a relaxing weekend away.

First of all, walking up to this adorable house and into the restaurant on the main floor we were met with literally open arms by Nancy and her family. Hugs, welcomes, happy anniversaries, they were all so excited we were going to be staying in one of their guest rooms. Nancy showed us around, told us all about the area and took us up to see the most perfect room that we'd be staying in for the next few days. Comfortable, perfectly decorated, no detail overlooked. We had a stocked refrigerator and pantry, everything we'd need for a light breakfast all week. There was even an anniversary gift for us waiting in the room. From the luxurious bedding, towels, bath products, and decor, there is not one negative thing I can say about our stay. My only regret is that we waited until the last day to eat at the restaurant downstairs. Next time we'll eat lunch there every day, the food is amazing! Thank you for the best first experience in South Carolina. It was so hard to leave!!

Close to the water and downtown,beautifully appointed and comfortable. Had a great time.

Such a cute place to stay, the patio was amazing and so relaxing! And Nancy was great and super nice!

Great place to stay! Very clean, and Nancy makes great blueberry muffins!!

This is a lovely welcoming place with warm and attentive hosts. My daughter and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved the porch and the lovely linens.

We came down to Port Royal, SC, for the Marine graduation and I don't know if we could've found a closer place. Great location to get to base from. This stay was great. The room was very clean and accommodating. There was a mini fridge with fruit inside of it and a keurig with plenty of coffee. Nancy also left blueberry muffins which were absolutely delicious. At night we hung out on the upstairs deck with the fans on and it was very peaceful. There is a beach and food in walking distance. If we come down again I would stay here.

Location is ideal for those attending Marine recruit graduation.

You will not be disappointed with your decision to stay at Fran's place. Six of us stayed and were very comfortable. It was larger than I had imagined from the pictures. You will feel like you are at home it is so quaint and beautiful. We were there for two days for the Marine graduation and it was the perfect place to stay. I hope to go back as Beaufort seemed to offer many things we would like to look into. Thank you Fran for allowing us into your home.

As described, Should be the first choice of all going to graduation at Parris Island.

Location to MCRD is perfect! roomy, cozy, nice place for the family.

Mrs Fran was absolutely wonderful!!! Very accommodating at the last minute. Helped us out and worked with us!! The condo was wonderful. Welcoming. Clean and very close to Parris Island. Made our stay very pleasant!!!

Our stay was wonderful! The whole process was easy and stress free. And the location could not have been better for the Parris Island graduation!

We were attending my son's graduation from Parris Island Marine Corps and spent 2 nights at Fran's place. The accommodations were lovely and welcoming. She was awesome in allowing late checkout so we didn't have to worry about packing our stuff early that morning and it was greatly appreciated. The town home was by the water and everything was clean and my family and I enjoyed our stay and will gladly stay here again if back in town. Thanks Fran! Also it was so close to the gates !!

What a fantastic place to stay with family, very clean, stylish, and much larger inside than expected! I am already recommending it to others who need a place to stay for the Parris Island graduation! Fran is a wonderful host, hotel like accommodations but better! D. Faria

Very charming home close to the water (across the road). Can see the water view from top level. Lots of room for entertaining. Two dining room tables and a large screened in patio. Location is amazing. Relaxed area. Close to very small beach, short golf cart ride (can also walk) to very large beautiful beach, very private. Also close to old historical Fort Fremont, a good park area. Also close to Beaufort and Hunting Park, Fripp Island. Lots of close dive restaurants with good seafood. Kristi is an excellent host. Great communication.

Such a relaxing and beautiful stay! Kristy is a fabulous host, even from afar. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and even had a lovely gift delivered to help celebrate the reason for our trip, my birthday! So special and thoughtful. The house and amenities are exactly as described. The house was so peaceful and relaxing. Great breezes and views. The beach is a short walk or a quick golf cart ride away. Love that this is out and away from the major tourist areas but close enough to head into town for a good meal or ice cream. One tip - the house is a good 12-18 minutes to a convenience store, grocery store and/or liquor store so you may want to stop on your way in as once you arrive at the fabulous house, you may not want to make the 30 minute round trip back out for supplies. We're already talking about booking another trip.

Owner is extremely friendly and answers questions immediately. Beach is right across from the house and you can see the ocean from the patio! Wonderful downstairs patio with outdoor bar was very fun. Secluded from restaurants and public. We had an awesome time!

Kristy was a great communicator and check in was easy. The neighborhood is so pretty and felt very safe. There was great Wifi (I had to do some work) as well. My family rented Kristy's place for Marine graduation at Parris Island and it took us about a half hour to get there.

Kristy was a fabulous host. Communication was very easy throughout the entire process of booking , check in, & check out. This was a great area to relax & enjoy time with the family. We enjoyed the quick golf cart ride to Fort Fremont & the beach. We will definitely be back.

We rented Lori & Stephane's cottage to attend a Parris Island graduation and we couldn't have hoped for better accommodations! The house is about as close to Parris Island as you could stay, the house was very clean & comfortable with everything you could. Communication with Lori and Stephane was also very great and they were readily available for anything we needed, even suggestions of places to go around Beaufort. It is somewhere we would definitely love to stay again if we find ourselves in Beaufort again!

We enjoyed our stay at Lori and Stephane's house for our sons graduation from MCRD. The location was was excellent! 2-3 minutes from the base gate!! Close to restaurants. We did not use the kitchen except for making coffee in the morning which was nice!!

Great place to stay! Lori and Stephane were very nice and easy to deal with.

Although located in Port Royal, a few minutes from the center of Beaufort...the location worked out well, a quiet neighborhood with very easy access to restaurants and shopping in town.

Our stay was great! The house was clean, smelled great & was adorable! Would definitely stay here again!

The place looks better in person, although it was near a forest type area, it was still a great place to stay. This place was very clean & near to the Marine Recruiting Station.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for us. We needed somewhere close to Parris Island to stay for my husband's graduation and this was about as close as you could ask for. It took us minutes to get there; which you know is helpful if you are going to those early morning graduation events. The cottage was clean, comfortable and easy to find. Communication with Lori was prompt and easy. I would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone.

This cottage was PERFECT for our visit to retrieve our Marine from Parris Island! Very clean and right down the road from the Parris Island main gate. The owner was also very polite and answered all questions promptly. Thank you!

Really nice house, everything well kept, Shelby is very fast to answer our questions. Really appreciate and recommend. Very close to Parris Island. Tks Shelby.

We felt very comfortable, the hosts were very friendly and willing to solve any problem at any time. Anucio description was accurate. Thanks for letting us enjoy this clean and pleasant space.

This was our first experience with renting a house verses a hotel so we had many concerns. I am so HAPPY our first experience was with Shelby she made the whole experience so easy. She responded to all questions in a very timely manner which I appreciate more than many will know. The house was just as nice as the pictures. There is literally everything you could image available throughout the house which was so comfortable. We truly felt like we were at home and for that we feel very BLESSED. We highly recommend anyone who has a graduate from Parris Island to stay as it is only 5 minute drive away.

House was very comfortable to stay in, clean & welcoming. Living room was relaxing. King size bed very comfortable with nice linens. Well thought-out utensils and cooking implements -- really everything you might need if you like to cook or do anything in the kitchen. Great location for us with Port Royal being very quaint & quiet but with great proximity (maybe less than 5 miles) from Beaufort with the wonderful Bay Street & charming restaurants. We were also able to take some day trips to Charleston and Hilton Head, which we were very interested in, so, we loved this bungalow as a launching point. We also exercise a lot & enjoyed that the YMCA was within walking distance from house (10 minutes), as well as good area for jogging. Shelby and Kim were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed our interaction with them as they were both responsive to us if anything came up. My husband and I are full time travelers and stay at many properties because of this lifestyle and feel that we have a lot to compare things to. I recommend this listing for anyone visiting this area.

House was great. Within 5 mins of base as advertised. Plenty of room in house and host leaves house info with any info you may need and check out list which made the stay easy. Would stay again.
