Welcome to the Smalls-Nash Cottage, a appealing 750 square foot historic home constructed by local hero Robert Smalls in 1890. The home is located in the heart of the Old Point neighborhood with moss-draped trees and rich history around every corner.

Constructed by Smalls in the backyard of the big Robert Smalls home, the original footprint was two rooms before it doubled in size in the early 1900s and is the floor plan you see today.

The Smalls-Nash Cottage remained in the Smalls family until 2006, and under keeping of the Beaufort Historic Foundation until 2020. Lovingly restored with modern amenities and amenities, the home has original preserved features including decorative double fireplaces with mantles and floor.

The one bedroom, one bathroom property highlights include a clawfoot tub with shower, a pull-out couch in the library for additional visitors and a tucked away, lush backyard with porch for calming in your own private getaway.

The kitchen is entirely outfitted with flatware, cookware, refrigerator with freezer, full size oven and a four burner electric cooktop. The home has private WiFi and Intelligent TV in the library, along with a desk in the living room for any remote workers. The backyard has seating for outdoor dinners, as well as a charcoal grille and there’s a Samsung washer-dryer in the shed out back.

You’re an 8 min. walk from downtown Beaufort’s eateries, galleries, shopping and waterfront park and only a 25 min. drive to the pristine beaches of Hunting Island State Park (the home has a car pass). And if you’re feeling additional adventurous, the culinary delights and sights of Charleston and Savannah are both a little over an hour away.

Getting the best Beaufort, SC vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of SC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation home in Beaufort:

  • Select your dates and budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Lovingly Restored 1890 Historic Cottage has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your family.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
  • Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a fantastic stay:

  • Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
  • Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
  • To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
  • Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
