Great Location

We didn't spend too much time in the home as we were out home shopping the entire time. Great location and neighborhood. We had a nice walk around the neighborhood. Was just a couple of minutes to the historic district. Could get anywhere needed within minutes. There was big owl in the oak tree who would hoot at us when we came back in the evening. Highly recommend this location.

A lovely place to stay

The Anchor House is in a neighborhood that is a mile from town. It is easy to walk there or drive half way so you don’t need to pay for parking. It has a large fenced in backyard and a table and chairs to enjoy being outside. The house is very clean. It does need new mattresses and I conveyed this to the property manager It comes with 2 bikes and we rode the Spanish Moss bike trail which is about 1/4 mile away. It also came with a pass to the Hunting Island State beach. This is our second time staying at the house and we plan to book it again for next year.

Fantastic experience!!

Wow this place was amazing! GREAT location, one mile from the waterfront and historic downtown, walkable neighborhood, clean and tastefully decorated, with all necessary conveniences. Back yard was bigger than we expected, with a table and chairs for morning coffee. Access was super easy via electronic front door lock. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to visit historic Beaufort, SC!

Anchor Yourself Here!

This is an amazing gem of a property. It has the location, it has all you need inside (and out) and it's clean as a whistle. We loved our stay here and our host was outstanding. From letting us know when we could get in to giving us restaurant suggestions, it was perfect. Would definitely return to Anchor House or any of the other Mermaid properties!

Convenient location on a quiet street. This may seem picky but no cable television. We aren’t fans of streaming services. Otherwise very enjoyable.

Sisters During Debby

Oh my, the house was perfect and as advertised. You can tell the property manager really cares about the people that stay in this house, that it's not just a business. They have so many nice touches that most short-stay rentals don't even think about. One example: We arrived later than expected, and they went back and turned on the porch light so the house would not be dark upon arrival. Thank you so much for a beautiful house and stay.
