Unable to stay for our visit due to unforseen circumstances at the home. The property was beautiful and the host was very kind. Look forward to a possible stay in the future.

Great property right on the water. Loved the back yard and the dock. The palmetto tree lined driveway, screened in porch were nice extras.
Hope to stay here again!

We enjoyed our trip. But the house was in need of repairs and painted. Floors have soft places. Carpet was stain bad in master bedroom also the bathroom had stains on wall from water damage. Tv controller don’t work in living room. Back porch is wonderful but floors needed mopped. In dinning room one of the floor registers is broken had to put chair over it to keep grandkids from falling through it. Coffee maker works but the lid is gone so you have to use fork to hold the release up so it runs into pot. The inside of the house look’s nothing like the pictures on Vrbo. We didn’t let any of this stop us from having a good time. My son in law love fishing but the dock is also in need of repairs.
4.0 / 5.0
We loved the yard and dock and the location was fantastic- the flooring really needs some help- really really stained carpeting in the bedrooms, one room smelled like a wet dog, and there were several areas where the floor sinks under foot when you step on it. The loveseat on the screened porch had torn upholstery with the stuffing sticking out. The air hockey table was fun but extremely wobbly which actually pinched my daughter's arm really badly. But overall we had a lovely stay. Check in was super easy and it was really nice being able to sit on the dock and enjoy coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening
5.0 / 5.0
Stayed here on our father-son fishing trip. Property was just as advertised. Secluded and quiet but still close to Restaurants and shops. House was very clean and plenty of room. Host was friendly, quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this property!

Enjoyed our stay out in the country. House was a little dated, needed to have the carpet replaced and some TLC performed to the interior & exterior. But we all enjoyed ourselves with the stay.

Good location, deep water dock. House is a little dated, but clean and the owner was very nice and quick to respond.
3.0 / 5.0
Let's start with the positives:
- Location is excellent. Close to downtown Beaufort but still peaceful and away from hustle and bustle that comes with staying downtown. On the river which provides excellent views.
- Check in and out is extremely easy
- House provides a lot of space with large living and dining room. Bedrooms are good sized. Space is good for family gatherings (though even in winter we spent more time out on the dock)
- Dock provides access to fishing and crabbing (we did not catch anything in January, but it was very cold that weekend). Dock has a fishing/boating platform with no railings, and then a gazebo type area with built in covered seating and railing
- Kids loved the air hockey table included (note that it needs some repairs as well)
The not so good:
House General:
- Floors are very soft and squishy (to the point that there are a few spots where you can see the boards depress several inches when you step on them and the flooring is no longer connected) (especially in the few feet on either side of the dining room/living room opening)
- house is generally musty
Master bedroom/bathroom
-large soaking tub provided but the water did not turn on properly so could not use
- large water stain next to master bath toilet
- low water pressure in master bath shower
- there is a small TV in the master bedroom but did not appear to be connected to cable and did not turn on with remote provided
Living Room:
- TV did not appear to work (turns on but never could get the cable to come on)
Hall bathroom:
- Tub needs to be resealed and is peeling. no stopper provided
- Water stains
- When first turned on sink black soot came from faucet but went away after running for a few seconds and did not return for rest of trip
Kids room:
- part of check out is moving all furniture back to original position. While a lamp is provided, it is not plugged in and you have to move the nightstand to find an accessible plug (more annoying than an issue)
Dock
- While an overall positive note there is loose and broken railings throughout the dock
Overall recommendations
provides lot of space and good outdoor spaces but more likely to take our chances with other locations due to conditions of the house itself (especially the soft floors and noticeable water damage with had us concerned there may be mold in the house)
4.0 / 5.0
Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms makes this a great home for a family with older kids or for several couples. The large dining room and living room are great for hanging out, playing games, and eating meals together. There’s lots of porch space along with a large yard and private boat dock so you can enjoy the weather and the view. The small fenced in area is great if you’re traveling with a dog.
The kitchen provides all of the basics but needs some additional bakeware. A crockpot would be great too! Otherwise you’ll find everything that you need. The Wi-Fi isn’t great but if the weather is good you’ll want to be outside anyway. The house is in a very quiet area. It is located just off the main drag and is close to Beaufort for shopping and dining. The house could use a thorough deep cleaning but wasn’t dirty or gross. We had a great stay and would definitely visit again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The best thing about this whole house is the dock, marsh access, and the view. Just beautiful!

1.0 / 5.0
We arrived at the sunmist cottage and were utterly disappointed. I really wish i could say this house has a redeeming factor, but there isnt one. The dock was falling apart, the house was filthy (black mold in the bathrooms and rat droppings everywhere). We didnt even stay the first night, and ended up staying at a hotel in downtown Beaufort. Now even though the property and surrounding community is a disaster, I have to give credit to the owners. They were very understanding and gave us a full refund.
5.0 / 5.0
This was our 3rd time staying at Sunmist cottage and it won't be the last. The house is comfortable, the location is breathtaking and Kevin and Jane are always accommodating and easy to reach if need be! Thank you both for another great vacation!

We stayed at Kevin and Jane’s house for a month and had a fabulous time. The house met all our needs and the dock was beautiful. Kevin responded to all our questions promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time on our stay here! Lots of fishing and fun with the kids. Teens and littles had a blast! Lots of fun stuff to do in town. Close to everything. House was very clean and had everything we needed for our week stay.

Comfortable and Convenient with a Spectacular View!
We rented this property as a base from which to explore Edisto Island, Hunting Island, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Port Royal. It was exactly what we wanted. The house was comfortable, cool, spacious, and clean. We brought our own sheets and towels but the ones provided seemed to be of decent quality. The appliances were clean and in good shape.
The yard was also nice. A fenced in section just off the screened porch allowed us to quickly let the dog out and back in without a leash. The best part was the dock. We saw a dolphin the very first evening. Sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area.

Very nice place , close to everything
We enjoyed our stay, it is a very big home. The yard and deck are to be enjoyed. The only draw back was lack of TV viewing in each room, probably could have gotten them to work but it was frustrating. The grill was out of gas, we exchanged it so the next people could enjoy. We didn't bother the owner about filling it, it was not a problem. Overall it was nice.

The view might be great but the house ruins the experience
I would definitely not recommend this house to anyone. The rugs were nasty. The back bedrooms smelled although there was a deodorizer in one room. Stain on the comforter and bed skirt. Blinds broken. The owner was very nice and I talked to him about the problems(and sent pics) but looking at old reviews this is an ongoing problem.
1.0 / 5.0
Not as good as it looks.
Stayed to pick up son graduating from Marines. Floors was terrible , sub floor was not level and felt weak , holes in floor in 2nd bedroom under the carpe, carpet was smelly and extremely stained. Luckily we didn’t spend much time here. Couch and chairs stained walls with spears to be mold and water damage in bathroom stained jacuzzi out side of house there was wasp nests on house gutters full of debris and falling off in some places house also has abandoned houses around it and a construction company next door loud jets flying over all through the night. Iv stayed in a lot better places for the price I paid to stay here the only convenience is it’s close to Paris island. Look around before you settle on this one. Defiantly not worth the price. The one time I used the sink the filter handle broke off on my hand was not repaired while we was there. And the tv in the master bedroom was the size of a small computer monitor. You can check a walk through I made on u tube look for abunchofnickells to see it.

Disappointed
"Needs updating" is putting it kindly. Carpets were stained, molding was rotted, bathroom tile was water damaged, front door was filthy. 3 of 4 soap dispensers were empty; there was no laundry detergent as stated. New kitchen appliances and washer/dryer were very nice, but other furniture looked like a collection from the thrift store. We would not stay here again, not recommend it to friends.

Great view of the lake and breath-taking sunrises and sunsets. House is in a secluded but safe area.

Beautiful view!
Our family enjoyed our stay at your home. The view from the dock was breathtaking. We loved spending our time on the dock fishing. The large backyard was perfect for playing games with our daughter. We loved this house and we would love to come back again!

Our home away from home
We stayed 11/17-11/20 for Family Day and my son’s graduation from the USMC. It was close to the base and a great place to stay. It does need to be updated and it could’ve had more supplies such as art supplies such as tape for creating signs for our new Marine. The flag out front should be replaced also. Overall, the house needs to be updated for future renters but it was awesome for what we needed. I left markers tape and glue for future families of New Marines.

2.5 / 5.0
This property is so beautiful. The front yard is large and landscaped beautifully and the backyard is stunning with a fantastic dock that has a cover and a cleaning station. The owner was very kind and always responded very quickly. As mentioned in other posts it needs a true deep cleaning in the master quarters. The baseboards and tile grout just need a cleanup and the closet too. If they were treated it would make the stay 10 times better but we eoykd still stay there again. The master bed is very comfortable and there is satellite cable. Kitchen has everything needed for a basic cook and there is planets if space for a group of 6. It's about 10 minutes away from town but the backyard makes it worth it.

Nice retreat
It was a very nice place but could use a few updates. But being on the water with a great dock was perfect for my friends and I since it was our annual fishing trip. We will probably stay here again though
