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 charmingly 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 effortlessly accessible from Live Oak Cottage.”
Upon your arrival, expect a entirely-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 astounding 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 fantastic 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 photogenic 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 handsome 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.

Our top Rental home tips:
Sticking to your spending budget:
- The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
- Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal SC. Book your Beaufort, SC rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
- Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
- Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
Make a plan and pick the perfectvacation home:
- Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
- Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Sweet cottage, Best Location, Close to Everything, River View has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
- Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your agreement.
- If there's an individual Beaufort, SC attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
- Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
Considerations for your stay:
- Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
- Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
- Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
- Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
- Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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 great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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.
