Cozy Stay in Port Royal

We spent the Christmas holiday in the low country of South Carolina and our family stayed in this wonderful home in a fabulous location in Port Royal. The home was comfortable and very clean; nice convenient kitchen with great appliances. The very best thing about this home is its location. After becoming familiar with the area, we felt there was nowhere else in the area we would have rather stayed.

Lovely Stay, Very Cute House

This was the perfect spot to stay for my son’s graduation from Parris Island. It is located very close to Parris Island and we could walk to multiple restaurants, see the sun set within walking distance at a boat dock and have a very pleasant time. The bedroom situation is versatile and while cell service was spotty, we were there to spend quality family time, not do any work or be super connected. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful stay to get our new Marine!

This home in Port Royal is beautiful! It is clean, cozy, well-appointed, and conveniently located within walking distance of the Main Street and the water. The owners are very responsive and kind as well. Our trip here was to pick up our son as he completed USMC boot camp and graduated this week. This home made our stay so comfortable! Thank you and Oorah!

Quiet, Clean and Convenient

This is an older property that has been well-maintained with remodeled bathrooms and kitchen. We really appreciated the quiet neighborhood and the cleanliness of the house. The carpeting is pretty worn and stained, and the couch cushions in the living room are uncomfortable to sit on likely from years of use, but overall, this is a great property.

Perfect location to visit Parris Island

This house was perfect for us during our trip to bring our Marine home. Port Royal is an adorable little town. Good restaurants are within walking distance and there are more with just a short drive. This house is in a perfect location to make trips back and forth from the island. The house is clean, neat, and tidy. Communication with the owners was easy and accommodating. I could not recommend this place more!!

Great Stay for Marine Corps Graduation

We stayed for our new Marine's graduation and I cannot recommend this place enough. The house is on a quiet street and neighborhood just a short walk from great dining and less than 10 minutes to the Marine Depot. The owner is a retired Marine and was very accomodating for us and communicated with us well through the check in and check out. We are all out of family eligible to enlist and bring us back to the area, but I would recommend it to any group of 6 or less as a great place to stay for a couple of days

About the host

Hosted by Philip LaFountain

Host profile image
My wife and I are originally from Northwest Ohio and we have 2 boys. I joined the Marine Corps in 1992 and attended recruit training right here at Parris Island. At the time, I was completely unaware of how beautiful this area was. The Marine Corps brought us back to Beaufort, SC in 1999, where I served as a Drill Instructor on Parris Island for 3 years. My wife and I fell in love with the town for its beauty, history and simple life style. I actually proposed to my wife on the front porch of this home. After many more moves with the Marine Corps, we were finally able to move back to Port Royal 3 years ago.
