Anniversary Getaway
Ellen and Mike, the hosts, were welcoming and friendly during our stay. The accommodations were very comfortable, clean and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked. The property was within walking distance to downtown Beaufort - shops, restaurants and the water front. The property is pristine and well cared for. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and will seek this place out again. Bonus - sweet Kipp the kitty, visited us every morning while we drank our coffee on the deck overlooking the well manicured garden.

Perfect location, perfect vacation rental
We had a lovely half-week in this pretty carriage house. The location couldn't have been better - I never started my car once after arriving - everything in town is walkable from here. And the property itself is gorgeous - loved sitting on the balcony and just taking it all in. The rental was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. And the hosts, Ellen and Mike, couldn't have been more gracious. Definitely coming back...

Perfect location
The Wren’s Nest is the perfect place to stay in Beaufort. Conveniently located to the waterfront and downtown- you are steps away from great shopping and wonderful restaurants. We had a couple of changes in our plans and our hosts could not have been more accommodating. The unit was well equipped with everything it promised and more! We will return to Beaufort one day and we will stay in the Wren’s Nest again!

Great location
Although the apartment was smaller than the pictures implied, it was very clean and well furnished. Unfortunately because as the owner said, it was furnished with antiques which were even more uncomfortable than she suggested. The location was great as we were able to walk everywhere in Beaufort. Communication with the lessor was very disappointing as she told us several times at check in that she was very available which was not.the case because there was no washer dryer (my fault for not realizing this). she told us several time times to let her know and we could do laundry at her house which was right nest door. On several occasions we texted,,called and left messages asking when would be convenient and never got a reply. The only other issue was that there were virtually no cleaning products that we could find to clean the kitchen or bath. We could not find a sponge. These are issues that could be rectified easily so all in all we were happy with our stay.

Ellen and Mike are the most hospitable and welcoming hosts. The property is exactly like the photos. We stayed in the Wrens Nest also known as the carriage house. Ellen has thought of everything, and her décor style is elegant and true southern antique. Thank you for an amazing stay!!! Annette and Ben
