I am the granddaughter of Saxby Stowe Chaplin and Margurite Chaplin of Port Royal and Callawassee Island in South Carolina. It was my 58th anniversary and we chose to stay in my grandmothers house which we accidently found on VRBO. To my dismay, it had been sold twice since my grandmother passed. What's done is done. to those looking for a cute place to stay, this would be it. The new owners have fixed it up quite cute. It was very clean and has all the comforts of home. My great grandfather and grandmother, the parents of Margurite, were the last survivors of Callawassee Island. Thus the book, which probably is in the local bookstore or on line.
Their names are William and Rebecca Vaigneur. After leaving Callawassee, the settled in Port Royal. They built my grandmothers house and theirs. One on the corner from the other. In this house. my grandparents raised 7 children. The oldest being my mother Ruth. I once lived there as a child. I am now 79 years old. The warmth and love and kindness in this house was none other. My family was musical as well. so many times the banjo was brought out along with guitars and steel guitars. Such laughter consumed us. There are many stories but they can't be in this space. If you want a warm and friendly place to stay, please visit my grandmothers house and feel the history. I recommend it highly.

The property is on a nice quiet street .It is an older property that needs maintenance and renovation, particularly the bathroom.
We had an issue with water pressure but the owners quickly got it sorted .The owners have confirmed that they are doing some renovations in the very near future which hopefully will bring it back to 5 star .
All surfaces were clean but attention needs to be paid to outside furniture, fans etc .
Overall we had a pleasant stay and the property is very central to visit many great places .

We had the pleasure of renting from March 1st. till April 5th. We absolutely loved this cozy place in a wonderful area. We love all the beautiful live oaks in the neighborhood. Very quiet and peaceful with a lot of places to walk to. The Rookery was amazing, especially in the evening when all the birds are back at their roosts.

Thus modest sized cottage is very inviting,
a warm and welcoming homey feel. Clean house with very comfy beds. It is in a safe quite neighborhood close to everything but not directly in sight. My son and I stayed there for my grandson's graduation from Parris Island Marine Base.
The base is a 10 minute drive to the gate. I would recommend this place. The owner is very easy to reach, and is attentive to any questions and concerns

The cottage was great for our family of five. There was ample space, linens, and kitchen supplies. Checking in and out was simple. The location was about 30 minutes to Hunting Island and ten minutes to Parris Island. It made exploring the area so easy! We also enjoyed walking to the Cypress Wetlands!

I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for the area

This Port Royal cottage is perfect for older couples wanting a quiet and safe location. Husband located not only local fishing pier but piers in nearby Beaufort and Hilton Head (only 30 minutes drive). Restaurants nearby as well as grocery stores - sufficient supplies at cottage to cook local fish! Cottage was clean and nicely set up. Nice to know that bedspreads/comforters are washed after every guest! Would stay here again!

We rented the home for a month. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. It's cozy and welcoming. The two times we needed to contact the owner for supplies, she was there within minutes. Each morning we would walk to the bird sanctuary a street over and watch the birds take off at dawn. Then it was a short stroll to three coffee places. Lots to do in the area including bike trails, the marine base, and historical areas. The neighbors across the street even brought us fresh-baked sourdough bread! This was our first "snowbird" adventure and we hit the jackpot.

It was like a home away from home.

We had everything we needed for a quick weekend visit. Beds were comfy, a/c worked great. I rated a 4 instead of 5 on cleanliness due to it being an older home and some rooms (bathroom ceiling in particular) need some work. Overall, great choice.
