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. Yours Truly, Diane Skovran

Property was absolutely as described. Host responded quickly when messaged. Great location within a mile of everything, only wish I had booked it for longer. Will be back have already told my family about it.

It was great! Always love being in Port Royal seeing my long time friends who live on West Paris. It’s such a beautiful village.

GOD BLEES YOUR HOUSE!!!

Perfect place to stay as we were in town for Marine graduation on Parris island.

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.

This house made exploring the Port Royal/Beaufort area so nice and enjoyable. We are looking forward to a return trip as soon as possible.
