Beyond our expectations
The Carriage House was just perfect in every way; very much beyond our expectations for a vacation rental. The location could not have been better for our first visit to Beaufort, SC. The apartment was unbelievably well furnished and comfortable. The design was very well thought out and everything works. The Owners live in the Main House and are very reachable if the need arises. Our thanks to them for their hospitality.Harold and Raija

We cannot say enough great things about the Wren's Nest! It is nestled in historic Beaufort just a block way from Bay Street- a street filled will local shops, restaurants, and nearby cultural sites. The apartment was elegantly appointed and you can sense the love and care that Ellen and Mike put into this "nest". We loved it and are sure to return on our next trip to the Beaufort. Thank you Ellen and Mike for making us feel so at home.

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...
