All the rooms were clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The restoration was well done and allows the home to offer the charm of the past with all the modern conveniences. The house is in a perfect location for all that Beaufort and the surrounding area have to offer. Communication with the host was timely and very much appreciated. We hope to return to the area and when we do this home will definitely be our first choice.

This rental is the Gold standard when compared to the many VRBO's we've rented in the past. The renovations expertly championed the home into modern times without losing it's historic charm. The host has done an superb job anticipating every client's needs.The comfortable furnishings were selected specifically to accommodate the open floor plan, in contrast with many other rentals appearing to be furnished with grandma's hand me downs. The kitchen was stocked as well as our own. The proprietors provide ample kitchen supplies and toiletries. We are currently reviewing our calendar for our next visit.

This was our 3rd time staying at this sweet house. It is so comfortable and welcoming. The house is furnished with everything you need (I love the washer and dryer). We really like the location. We can see the marsh and Beaufort river from the front porch and it is walkable to downtown. We also love driving to the surrounding islands. There is so much to do and see in and around Beaufort! The host communicates with you before you arrive and is easy to get in touch with if anything is needed. We hope to stay here a 4th time someday!

About the host

Hosted by Alison

Host profile image
Bill & I are originally from Atlanta, Ga, but 20 years ago we moved to South Florida to open a new business. However, our long term plan is to retire to beautiful, historic Beaufort one day. We felt renovating this home was the 1st step towards are journey to living in Beaufort. We hope you enjoy & love this area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

As our contractor put it "this house is one of the last greatest saves". We fell in love with the home, even though it needed LOTS of work. We feel like we have restored a bit of history and added our footprint the wonderful historic area of Beaufort.
