Beautiful property in an excellent location! We got married in Beaufort and we stayed here for our honeymoon. The sunroom was perfect for a beautiful marsh view breakfast and dinner was amazing watching the sunsets. Close to sands beach and anything else you wanted to do. I would stay here on all my trips to Beaufort/Port Royal!
