Central to Beaufort, HHI, birding refuges, Parris Island. Pet & family friendly.

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.
