Bonny Cottage was all we hoped it would be. Perfectly situated in the historical district of Beaufort. Walking distance to downtown, the waterfront and beautiful neighborhoods. Ellen was kind and helpful in getting us settled, and providing us information about the cottage and area. Highly recommend this cottage and owners.

Best little cottage I’ve ever rented in Beaufort. Very close to everything downtown. Very charming and comfortable. I see us renting from these owners every year. Now that we’ve found this little gem, not sure we’ll rent anywhere else.

Absolutely perfect place!

The cottage is stunning with paintings by the owner herself. It was like staying in a gallery. Every detail was accounted for and we have absolutely nothing to suggest for improvement. The location was fabulous, we walked everywhere. One of the highlights of our stay was just sitting down with Ellen and Mike and hearing their story. Thank you for such a perfect weekend. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Memorial Day Weekend!

Property was impeccable all around. Attractive, period decor, super clean. Every aspect thoughtfully appointed, down to shower head and toiletries. Loved the quaintness of neighborhood and deep historic character of area. Very pleasurable and memorable. We will absolutely return within the year. Looking forward to becoming further acquainted with hosts, who were kind, gracious, and flexible. Property should retain it's well deserved "10".

Perfect Location

We stayed five nights at this lovely place. It is cozy and perfectly located to downtown. Super clean and we had everything we needed provided for us. Plenty of space for me and my wife. Downtown is really at most a five minute walk and the walk is rather nice. Definitely would stay here again. Oh. And just saying the people of this city are the nicest people on the planet ! Seriously!
