Our stay at Bonny cottage was very enjoyable. Easy walking distance to restaurants and the downtown. The cottage is very clean and the furnishings are quite nice.The furniture for sitting is doable. Television and streaming services great. We have discovered another fine place in the VRBO system.

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!

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".

We booked the Bonny House to get away, rest, and regroup The property is beautiful. The house was spotless. Decorated in beautiful antiques. The furniture was comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. Our hosts Ellen and Mike are lovely people. We enjoyed getting to know them. The location of the property was walking distance to most everything. We experienced First Friday in Beaufort. That was fun and unexpected. There is lots to do. We had many great meals at the local eateries. And hope to return sometime. You will not be disappointed.

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.
