About this property

Carriage House under Live Oaks In Historic Downtown Beaufort with Patio Garden

This lovely South Carolina unit, called Sweetgrass, is on the street level of the carriage house one block from the Beaufort River. It has two bedrooms, one queen bed and one small full bed and one bath (connected to each bedroom), hardwood floors throughout, cable TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. Relax on the covered porch and furnished patio surrounded by 100 year old oak trees draped with Spanish moss and lovely gardens.
This carriage house, recently brought back to life after many years of neglect, sits next to our home, Craven House. It truly is the best location in Beaufort, surrounded by stately mansions and rich history, allowing one to walk to restaurants, shops, museums and the waterfront park by the marina. It is an easy drive to Paris Island, the Sands beach in Port Royal and Hunting beach on the ocean.

Beautiful Beaufort
My sister and I were first timers in Beaufort, SC. We stayed at the gorgeous carriage house at the corner of Craven and Newcastle streets. The housing was more than we even expected—spotlessly clean, beautiful antique furnishings, comfortable beds, AC worked great, and beautifully appointed, including some of the host’s original artwork. We can’t wait to return!!

Perfect!
This was the cleanest, most accommodating VRBO home we’ve stayed in. We were in the lower part of the Carriage House. It was beautiful and quaint. Ellen and Mike leave you wanting for nothing. Everything you need and even the things you didn’t know you forgot were available. So easy to walk the 2 blocks to town. Would and hope to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen and Mike Tomy

Host profile image
When Mike and I purchased Craven House, it had been neglected for many years. After a lot of hard work it is now reborn. It truly is a rich piece of history, and we love living in this South Carolina coastal town with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bonny Blue.
Mike is a retired architect currently involved in Beaufort city and county boards. Ellen is a retired portrait painter. Vacations from Atlanta down to Beaufort every summer to visit family, we bought this property because of our love for architecture, history and Beaufort itself. Ellen's family roots are in South Carolina, so it is like coming home to stay.

Why they chose this property

The Carriage House on Craven is central to all that is happening in Beaufort. During the many yearly festivals, parking is not easy to find in town. Just stay at the carriage house, leave the car and the festivals are a block away. Meander through one-of-a-kind shops on Bay Street and enjoy fresh local seafood in Beaufort's unique restaurants. If you don't want to eat out, a fully fitted kitchen is ready for you.

What makes this property unique

Set back from the street, the patio is a quiet place to sit and visit with friends or have a romantic dinner. Surrounded by historic homes and churches built in past centuries, one is taken back into the 19th century Old South. We live on the property and are at your beacon call anytime you need anything.
