Snug Harbor Cottages, Beaufort

Crummy and rundown, what is advertised as villas are really duplex-style tiny cabins. Beware the "Luxury Villa," it consists of two rickety double beds with the cheapest of linens, and cheap plastic mattress covers which rustle and wake you up when you move in the bed. Advertised as a full kitchen,it is nothing more than a closet sized kitchenette. The bathroom is tiny with exposed plumbing. Very overpriced, and when I told the owner we were checking out after one night, I discovered she has some very serious anger-management problems. Certainly, not the romantic getaway my wife and I expected!

These people are the best...clean, friendly and all the comforts of home. They had plenty of helpful tips on fishing, dining and nightlife. They told us they were thinking of selling, but hopefully they won't. Will be coming back again and again!
