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 relaxing 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 comfortably accessible from Live Oak Cottage.”

Upon your arrival, expect a entirely-outfitted kitchen with all cooking silverware and essential supplies included (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 supplied: 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. We are close to a impressive 10-acre park that hosts bald eagles and hawks, boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, historic downtown, shopping, eateries, museums, historical landmarks, walking and buggy tours, and much more. 10-min. drive to MCRD Parris Island for those families wanting to book for their adored one’s graduation event.

We are 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 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 gorgeous 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 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. New cottage, Best Location, Special rate 9\/8 - 9-\/12! has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC attraction you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
