Our bungalow has a distant view of the Beaufort River and is located under the canopy of a 100-year old live oak tree that is attractively uplit at nighttime. It is a 5-min. walk to some great restaurant options here on Ladys Island, and a short walk over the cozy swing bridge to all that downtown Beaufort has to offer.
A recent guest review says it all:
“This Vacation Rental By Owner property is one of the best short-term units that we’ve experienced. Everything is spotless. The bungalow is decorated in calming tones and with a variety of vintage landscape and seascape watercolors. The privacy is unparalleled, and believe me, it's far better to be across the short bridge from downtown than in the midst of a great deal of tourist traffic. Everything you might want to visit is conveniently accessible from Live Oak Cottage.”
Upon your arrival, expect a completely-supplied kitchen with all cooking silverware and essential supplies supplied (spices, oils, coffee, sugar, cooking gear, etc.), complimentary wifi, filtered tap water, refrigerator with ice maker, gas stove, quartz countertops. 2 TVs with Roku streaming sticks, complimentary YouTubeTV account, USB ports throughout, and driveway parking for 2 cars. 2 bathrobes, memory foam bed, the additional half bath, and laundry with detergent supplied are big pluses. Also included: additional bathroom tissue, paper towels, garbage bags, dish towels. Basically, just bring your toothbrush and clothes.
We have happily hosted honeymooners, birthday getaways, anniversaries, and Marine graduation families. Many are repeat visitors. We are a block from Whitehall Park, a handsome 10-acre riverfront park that features bald eagles and hawks. We are a 10-min. drive to MCRD Parris Island for those families wanting to book for their appreciated one’s US Marine graduation event.
It is a 15-min. walk/2 min drive to downtown Beaufort, over the swing bridge (featured in “Forrest Gump”), keep an eye out for dolphins and osprey nests as you cross over the Beaufort River, also known as the Intercoastal Waterway.
There are many options right here on Ladys Island, without crossing the bridge. Our bungalow is a 5-min. walk from a growing number of striking dining options including the Dockside seafood restaurant with a awesome screened-in outdoor bar and deck featuring sweeping vistas of Factory Creek. Q’s Chicken BBQ Shack offers a more casual dining experience. And then a must-visit is Beaufort’s most iconic locals bar/restaurant - The Filling Station, their outside deck overlooking Factory Creek is amazing as is their casual menu.
The Whitehall Public Boat landing is two blocks away, where you can arrange fish charters and kayak rental tours to discover the Beaufort River and striking Factory Creek. There is also a generous public fishing pier adjacent to the boat landing...we have it all right here!
For your shopping needs: We are a 2-min. drive to ALL shopping supplies - grocery, pharmacy, fast food, Walmart, liquor store - yet our bungalow is in a peaceful, leafy neighborhood just off Route 21.
For trips to the beach we supply Beach chairs, beach towels, beach bag, umbrella, and a cooler.
We offer ample secured storage inside the front barn doors for your kayaks, bicycles, fishing gear.
Beaufort is a great home base for exploring the Lowcountry. Savannah is 45 mins. south, and Charleston is an hour and 15 mins to the north. Beaufort is a ideal jumping-off point to discover the Lowcountry in both directions! We are happy to recommend itineraries in both cities.
We provide all the amenities of home in an idyllic elegant setting. At nighttime, the landscape uplighting of the 100-year-old live oak and the 10’ European palm are magical. This bungalow has our guests complete comfort in mind, and it is a haven from which to discover this fantastic part of the country.
We live on-site and are always available via text and cell.
Attention EV car owners, we now offer a Level 2 EV charging-station at the bungalow. Inquire for details.

How to get the best Beaufort vacation home experience:
When to go & When to reserve a Beaufort, SC rental home:
- Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
- Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
- Many management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Filter your rental search:
- Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
- Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Sweet cottage, Best Location, Close to Everything, River View has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rental home search.
- Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your group.
- Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
- Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
More considerations for your visit:
- Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
- Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
- Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
- Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
- Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
