This appealing waterfront carriage home on lady’s island overlooking factory creek, is on a one acre delightfully landscaped property, mins. from downtown Beaufort and the low country sea islands. There is a 150’ walkway, pier home, and floating dock for fishing. The waterfront view of a 2000-acre marsh, rivers, and creeks is spectacular.
Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best modest southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine
Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of many smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars. Visitors are supplied a rich experience of history, culture, dining, annual events, cultural festivals, arts and outdoor recreation.
Henry chambers waterfront park winds along the glistening Beaufort River with a vista of marsh islands and waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where handsome mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent eateries and boutique one-of-a-kind stores line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local eateries to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion photos, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.
The carriage home is newly constructed, and features a roomy living area with Satellite TV, High Speed Internet, separate bedroom with queen sized bed, full kitchen with bar, bath, laundry, and a gorgeous vaulted ceiling with professional interior design appointments. The living quarters are on the second floor of the Carriage House.
The waterfront and pier home are all available to guests. A full- service marina is located 1/4 mile from the property on Factory Creek. Animals may be allowed under special circumstances.

Strategies to get the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation property experience:
Sticking to your spending budget:
- Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To book the largest rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Beaufort, SC attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
- Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
- Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.
Make a plan and pick the bestrental:
- Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Charming Waterfront Car House has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC vacation rental search.
- Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
- Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
- Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
Have a fantastic stay:
- Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of difficulties.
- Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
- Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
- Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Record a video to document the condition of the property.
- Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
