About Beaufort's Parris Island

Once again, I am fortunate enough to help one of America's finest, find a home. She is beautiful, in immaculate physical condition, soft spoken, brilliant, and well..she could kill me with her hands.

She is a U.S Marine. She represents the elite group of women who make it into one of the toughest military branches.

It is an honor to represent her. We have spent the past week searching for a home that fits her needs. It is the first time I have worked with a single female Marine. In the past the majority of my Marine clients were single or married men.

I have truly enjoyed getting to know her.

Too often we forget the women who serve. We hear "Marine" and immediately we think of a handsome young man with a squared off jaw.

This young woman is amazing. As a woman, I am in complete awe of her discipline, dedication, and selflessness.

What more could a woman ask for! Besides the beautiful coastal views, the amazing weather, our ability to wear flip flops just about all year long, and down right fantastic food, we have Marines!!! Ok...I have to honor those fearless, distinctive, physically phenomenal female marines also! So we have it all:)

The military in Beaufort, SC, contributes both to the economy and the welfare of the Beaufort area. "Tri-command" refers to the Marine Corps Air Station north of Beaufort City, the Naval Hospital in Port Royal and the Marine Corps Recruit Depot on Parris Island. These three units contribute more than $375 million annually to the Beaufort, SC, economy and employ some 1,800 civilians, not too mention the bringing in 6,500 active duty personnel to the Beaufort, SC, area.

It is a wonderfully complimentary relationship! Beaufortonians are extremely proud of our Marines and it is an honor to walk the streets with such brave men and women everyday.

So while you are visiting our town, make sure to say hello to those brave young men and women who help make Beaufort, and the world...a safer place.
