You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Marshside, pet-friendly. Accessible, quiet, lovely. Central to Beaufort, HHI.

Attending Parris Island graduation? Looking for a home base for your Lowcountry getaway? Want to bring Fido along?

Explore one of the most beautiful areas in South Carolina from pet-friendly, accessible Broadview Cottage.

Great central location for exploring or birding the SC Lowcountry: easy access to National Wildlife Refuges, ACE Basin, and golf courses; approximately 30-45 minutes from Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Parris Island; 50 minutes from Savannah, just a hop-and-skip from I-95.

Broadview Cottage nestles in a unique community just 5 miles off I-95 (SC exit 28, Coosawhatchie). Palm Key is a quiet, casual gathering of cottages which invites the visitor to enjoy the lovely peace of the woods, pond, and Broad River marshes. Our cottage offers visitors the opportunity to escape into nature, to leave the bustling world behind--while being conveniently located for visits to nearby Parris Island, beaches, golf courses, and shopping in Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, and Savannah.

Entertainment nearby or on site:
* Take day trips to nearby travel destinations: Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, Hunting Island, Parris Island, the Penn Center, Savannah, and more (you’ll find brochures at the cottage, or, on I-95, stop at the SC Welcome Center or Exit 33’s Frampton Visitor’s Center for information)
* Golf at Hilton Head and other courses
* Bring your kayaks to enjoy the nearby Broad River or any of the other nearby salt creeks and black water rivers.
*Bring your bikes; the neighborhood is bike-and-kid friendly.
*Visit the “trestle road,” a former railroad bed (now just gravel) that juts out across the marsh and ends at the Broad River
* Bring your fishing pole! Fish in the pond or at the nearby trestle pier.
* Wander along the marsh and in Palm Key’s Mystical Park with oyster-shell labyrinth
* Bird along the marsh and nearby marsh islands—this area has around 250 species to be seen, depending on time of year—for example, painted buntings, pine warblers, wood storks, eagles, osprey, egrets, pelicans, and screech owls.
* Bring your camera and enjoy the outdoors.

Broadview Cottage was designed to encourage visitors to look out—a wide expanse of windows in each room gives onto marsh views, with live oaks covered in Spanish moss, to the sun rising over the Broad River, to wood storks soaring.

Our wide porch invites you to relax with a book in the swing or chat with friends over drinks. Inside, the open floor plan encourages conversation, relaxation, and visiting.

Broadview is such an appropriate name for the cottage. Such amazing views of the marsh and Broad River. It always feels so comfortable and welcoming. After staying as many times as possible since 2016, it truly is our home away from home. Relaxing, peaceful and beautiful are just a few words to describe this awesome place. April and Jody are always available for questions or a quick chat. Just a wonderful place!

Sweet Marshfront Cottage
Every detail about our stay was wonderful. We stayed for the entire month of June as our home was undergoing renovations. This sweet cottage was a great home away from home. It was cozy and comfortable.The views were stunning. The neighborhood of Palm Key was quiet and tranquil which was exactly what we wanted. We brought our dog and were so impressed by how dog friendly this cottage was. April and Jody, the property owners were so wonderful to work with and we are so grateful they shared their home with us.

This place was honestly one of my favorite places I have stayed at on vacation. The morning sunrises over the marsh are so beautiful! The place was very clean and felt like home. My sweet Stitch (French bulldog) loved it as well. I would highly recommend it to families and especially those needing handicap access. My mom was able to get around great while we were here! There are no steps to the front entrance of the house and a handicap accessible shower.

So Easy
Very clean and organized. Beautiful views right outside the floor length windows where we could catch the sunrise as well as the moon over the marsh!! All the essentials and more, even a toy basket where my dog got to pick one out for herself! Very easy to find pots and pans and they even have handmade pottery dishes. Beautifully decorated, not overdone but just right. I hope we can come again. PS. We found the town of Ridgeland very warm and friendly.

Well maintained property right on the marsh. Was nice to get away for the weekend. You're about 30 mins to the downtown areas of Beaufort or Bluffton so you're close but also far enough away that you don't have the crowds. We had a lot of fun fishing the neighborhood pond.

Perfect cottage!
This was the perfect rental for us! We loved the split floor plan with bedrooms on opposite sides of the cottage as it afforded plenty of privacy for the three of us. We spent most mornings out on the porch with our coffee, enjoying the calls of the birds and even spotted a Bald Eagle flying over the marsh! The cottage was comfortable and cooking meals was easy in the efficient kitchen. Internet speed was great and having a smart tv for the few days we were inside was welcomed. We enjoyed walking in the quiet neighborhood with our dog and found the neighbors quite friendly. Communication with April was always easy and prompt. Simply put, we couldn’t have asked for a better host or cottage. We highly recommend this cottage and we will be back!

We really enjoyed our day here. The home was cozy and clean. Our dogs loved it and they even had a little toy for them to bring home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a pot of coffee or cook a meal. The back porch was amazing. We were able to take in all the sound, smells, and amazing view is the marsh. It’s really something to take in. Sunrise and sunset can be seen from the entire back of the home and they are beautiful. We didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful view of the marsh along the Broad River. Well situated for day trips to Hilton Head, Beaufort and Savannah. One of the most well appointed rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Had everything one might need for cooking or entertainment. Laundry was a big plus. If I had one thing that could have been improved, it would be the beds. Super firm. A mattress pad would be a great addition. But certainly not a deal breaker. We hope to go back soon!

As others have said, this cottage is well designed for a pleasant stay. The furnishings are comfortable, and the hosts have provided many signs and writings to help you decide easily what you would like to do and where to do it. I especially enjoyed just sitting on the porch and watching and listening to the birds and wildlife that live in and around the marsh. It is a very peaceful location.

Great little cottage with a great view!
Very nice property, tastefully decorated throughout with soft tranquil colors, flowers and birds! Very dog friendly! Our 2 loved sitting on the gated porch outback overlooking the marshes while I relaxed on the swing! April graciously provides a basket with new toys for the pups to remember the vacation by, my greedy English Bulldog found it before we knew it existed! She claimed a toy right away! As it was just my husband and I, we really didn't cook and we only used 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. However, the house certainly can take a family. Plenty of towels and kitchen needs. Another review mentioned the beds, sure, they're firm, but we buy our own mattresses to our liking, this is no different than a hotel, etc. We had no issue sleeping for the week we were there and didn't let it spoil our vacation. April also gave us recommendations for shopping, eating and sightseeing! Some were casual messages back and forth. That indicated to me if you experienced an issue, she would get back to you timely. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your property with us! Best wishes!

OK property but beware of the property owner
Knowles Island Plantation formally known as Broadview. It was Broadview Cottage when we had stayed at the beginning of October. The house was decent. Nothing fancy, which didnt bother us. Were pretty simple as well. The beds were probably the worst beds i have ever slept on. Felt like concrete and could feel every spring. So never got a good nights rest. The dish washer leaks all over the floor. In the description of the home it was labeled as "out in the low country." Which it was, but it didnt mention the fact that youre in a neighborhood with neighbors very close to you. Alot of the scenery pics in the listing werent even of around the house. There is NO TRASH SERVICE at the house. So we had to drive 15 mins away from the house to get rid of our trash! that was not told to us either. Who wants to do that while youre on vacation???? There was some fishing poles there, she had mentioned in an email that somebody had left them and wasnt sure of the shape of them, but we could use them. We brought our own fishing poles, 6 of them. After we had checked out, April tried charging us for the poles because one was broke. We NEVER used hers. She also tried charging us for trash. In the exiting letter it said to leave leftover trash in the kitchen and they would dispose of it. We left 2 bags and a couple of boxes. She lied about how we left the house and also lied to get more money from us. The stay was ok, we left a day early because i couldnt take sleeping on that bed one more night. April was very helpful in the beginning, but has definitely changed my mind about her intentions after lying about several things about us. Makes me wonder if she has done this to other people. Wouldnt recommend to any family with kids or if your looking to be out in the low country with no one around.
