Only 3 short blocks from the bay & water, as well as shopping, art galleries, restaurants and attractions of Downtown, you will be in the perfect location to experience the best of Beaufort.
The home has been completely restored with tile and heart pine floors, new stainless steel appliances, and impressive antiques from Bali and Indonesia. The large master suite features a king bed, private bathroom with whirlpool tub, and a private sitting area. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and one bedroom has a pair of twin beds, as well as one double bed. Wireless internet and cable TV are included, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

Map & Owner's Profile
Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort's "Old Point"
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Beaufort
Beaufort, SC has always been a place my husband and I would visit with our family. Our parents took us here when we were children, and we brought our children to Beaufort when they were young. We don't care for the "touristy" locations that are so crowded in SC, and we love the beauty, history, beaches, etc. in Beaufort.
We chose to purchase this particular home because we love to restore historic homes, and this home we could not pass up! This home was built around the turn of the 20th century, once the old North Street Aquarium years ago. It was so beautiful and in a great location being within walking distance of the water, shops, etc.
We had to replace porches, walls, ceilings ..... this was quite the renovation project, but with a lot of work and time we were able to renovate the home to the beautiful state it is in now. This home is truly one of a kind and a part of Beaufort's history, and we are glad that we can share this with you!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Staying in our home, you will have a vacation experience like none other in Beaufort. Our home is different than any other home in the area and a part of what makes historic Beaufort special.
Our home has three porches where you can relax, enjoy the breeze, read a book, or watch the carriage tours pass by.
Our home is within walking distance of everything downtown. Our family loves to take walks around dusk and watch the sunset over the water. You can have morning coffee at one of the cafe's on the street as you walk to waterfront park. You can shop, eat at the restaurants, tour historic Beaufort... all without having to drive anywhere. This house is one that you will find truly special!
Nice park to have a picnic, throw football, etc. Less than 5 minute walk to 608 North Street.
This is where we buy groceries. It is the nicest grocery store in the area.

Hello! We are a couple from nearby Columbia, South Carolina who fell in love with the Beaufort area a long time ago. We were lucky enough to come across this beautiful home in Downtown Beaufort in need of renovation! It took longer that we had anticipated to restore, but was well worth the effort. This is truly a one of a kind property that we love to share with other families!

A group of friends and I stayed at the North Street home in early November, 2011. This is a beautifully restored historic home, and a truly unique place to stay. The location of the home was perfect. We did not need our car do go out to eat or visit downtown Beaufort. The owners of the home are a very nice people. We found the home to be clean and comfortable. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience downtown Beaufort at its best. Would love to return.

We recently had a small reunion of old high school buddies at the North Street House. We found the home very clean and well taken care of. The house was located within walking distance to most everything in downtown Beaufort, which was wonderful. The owners are very easy to deal with. We are planning to come back next year as well. Great house. Wonderful location.

Great place for a family gathering. Location is ideal for many and diverse interests. A little of everything is readily available. Shopping, restaurants, state parks, beaches, fishing, history, tours, etc all nearby. As experienced renters, very disappointed in the cleanliness throughout house. It did not meet basic cleanliness standards. Sheets and towels require replacement.............some frayed, stained, and with holes. Wonderful house that can and should be improved as a rental.
Owner response:To Dawn: We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and the location of the home, but sorry that you had other problems. We want all of our guests to be comfortable and happy, and will do anything we can to ensure that you have a wonderful stay. I only wish that we had been notified of these issues at the beginning of your stay so that we would have had the opportunity to correct these issues. We would have been happy to have the home completely re clean , and switch out your sheets and towels with brand new ones. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. If you want to stay again, let us know and we will be happy to give you a reduced rate to compensate for your trouble. Nathan To future guests: Our guests approval is very important to us. We do everything we can to ensure that your stay is as perfect as possible. The home is cleaned thoroughly after every stay, and the sheets and towels are replaced once every 2-3 months. Our family is down several times a month to check on the property. If you are renting our home and at the time of arrival there are any problems, let us know and we will anything we can to make you comfortable and happy.

A Memorable Trip to a Beautiful Place

We travelled a long way to Beaufort from the Regency City of Bath, Somerset, England and were totally delighted with the wonderful house on North Street which we found after exhaustive searching. We were three girlfriends - worn out professionals looking for a restful but inspiring trip and the beautiful house - which is enormous, certainly fitted the bill. Nestled in the historic district of Beaufort we were side by side with so many beautiful houses, the beautiful tidal riverside, restaurants and shops to visit - much of which has been discovered by Hollywood as some of the houses have been used for film locations. We ate in most of the nearby restaurants and there is a big basket of helpful information with restaurant in attraction listings in the house. We particularly enjoyed the Tooting Egret where we sat outside and had lunch. Also greatly enjoyed using the bicycles to roam around the local lanes where the Spanish Moss hangs from the Live Oaks - just what we hoped to see. Everything about the house was just as described, it was clean and well maintained, the owner was charming and took the trouble to call by and say hello one morning. We would certainly recommend this house and the family who own it to other travellers. We aim to come back another year to give us more time to spend in Savannah and to visit Charleston which we had to miss - I think we spent a bit too long on the top veranda drinking wine and letting the world pass us by!

Our family spent a four day weekend in Beaufort while attending a wedding. This house was perfectly located in a downtown neighborhood that allowed us to walk to all of the local shops and restaurants. The owners were great to work with which made our stay that much better. I highly recommend this house for a long week vacation, or a get away weekend.

We had extended family coming in from Tallahasse, Greenville, SC, Virginia and West Palm Beach. We were all able to stay together and celebrate our Marine's graduation. We cooked and ate together and walked in the historic neighborhood and down to the waterfront and shops. The home is roomy and comfortable for a crowd. The Christmus family were so accommodating - our son was ill during recruit training and his graduation was moved ahead 5 weeks while he recuperated. We were able to move our reservation ahead without any problems. A handwritten note of welcome greeted us and everything in the home was clean and beautiful. We are actually looking for another house to rent to celebrate our nephew's graduation in December and I realized I never wrote the review as I had intended. Sadly, this wonderful home is already reserved for those dates. You will surely enjoy the charm of this southern beauty!

Four "old" guys/golfers will be staying for the 2nd year at this clean and well decorated historic downtown Beaufort property. The property owners are friendly and ready to help, and are always available by phone or email. The property listing and photos are accurate. The house is within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores and the harbour/tourist areas. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a clothes washer and dryer. Good parking space across the street for 2-3 vehicles. This property is highly recommended and is reasonably priced for our Nov/Dec stay. NOTE TO VRBO: Your "arrival date" box would not allow me to put in 24 Nov 11 - the calendar would not scroll past the month of Aug.
Owner response:Thanks very much Walter and we look forward to having you again this year! Nathan Christmus

I came with my family of four a few weeks ago to Beaufort for eldest son's US Marine Corps graduation and was very impressed. Tucked away in the heart of downtown historic Beaufort, this beautiful home reminded us of what it must have been like to live in the Old South. As a owner of a small restaurant and chef, I have pretty high standards, but the home was very clean and well kept. Great kitchen too. The Owner was also extremelely accommodating and friendly when arranging our stay. We were close to the downtown area shopping, restaurants, and just a short drive to the marshlands and beautiful beaches (not to mention the graduation!). My sons and I also played a round of golf at the nearby Secession golf course the day before we left. It was an incredible golf course with pristine views and stunning layout. Checkout was super easy and my family and I all left very happy with the trip. Do not pass up a chance to stay at this home in Beaufort! Our experience with this Owner has been a true representation of genuine southern hospitality and we would definitely come back again! Ps. Warning: summertime storms can be intense here, but fun and amazing. Don't forget your insect repellent and drink plenty of water down here. It's kind of hot some days as is most of the south. Cameras during sunset a must! Scott New York, NY
