Great location. Very clean and roomy. Difficult for physically impaired as bedrooms are up very steep, narrow stairs.

Thank you! It’s great that you found our antique home convenient and comfy! Yes, our home was built in 1874, so it has steep narrow stairs that are original to the house.
Clean, comfortable, walking distance to downtown and shopping.. food.. drinks..

A true historic vibe in the downtown area that cannot be beat! Close to everything yet quiet and peaceful. Loved the tubs, beds were comfy, house was clean as a whistle. Lots of character! If this is available during your dates BOOK IT. I can’t wait to come back. Thanks again.
So glad that y'all had an awesome time in Beaufort! The fact that you loved our 1874 home and it's super convenient location just steps from Bay St. makes it even more special. Would love to host y'all again!
Beautiful historic home in the perfect location was the best choice for our visit with our daughter. The nicely decorated home was probably the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in and was so homey and comfortable. Great communication with host. Highly recommend this home in Beautiful Beaufort!

Thank you so much! So glad that you had a wonderful trip to Beaufort and found our home cozy, comfortable and close to everything! Would love to have y'all back.
We really enjoyed the home, a typical Federal-style small house, with a fireplace in almost every room, although none of them were functional. The period furniture was nice, as was the double porch. We watched fireworks from the second floor (the night before Memorial Day). When we return to Beaufort, we will try to stay here. The stairs are very narrow, but sturdy.

This 2-story home is full of charm. Stocked kitchen and walking distance to restaurants. Need a car for groceries or gym. Not handicap friendly w/ front porch stairs and sleeping on Floor 2.

Thanks so much for staying at our home! Hope you will come again. We offer discounts for repeat guests!
This gem is 4 blocks from Bay Street (the main street). A quick 5 min. easy walk through the charming historic neighborhood. We loved sitting on the porches (2 to choose from) for our morning coffee and in the evening, upstairs porch, to enjoy stargazing. The home was welcoming and had everything we needed to enjoy homemade meals on site. We picked up fresh seafood and a locally made Key Lime pie from Gay's Fish Market on Hunting Island. (Highly recommend!!) The check in was easy and communication was timely. Highly recommend a stay there.

Thanks for staying with us! Y’all were great guests!! Please come again!!
Wonderful historic house. Very clean and comfortable. Jean, the owner, was very helpful and quick to get back with any questions we had. Close enough to walk downtown to shops and restaurants.
This home was absolutely lovely. It was very clean and well appointed. While we didn't do a lot of cooking, there was everything needed in the kitchen to prepare gourmet meals.The historic home was loving renovated by the current owner, keeping most of the original features. It has parking, very important in Beaufort, and a lot of extras. If you love historic homes, antiques, and a short walk to downtown Beaufort, this is the place for you.The host was very gracious and helpful in every way. I would highly recommend this property if you are planning a trip to Beaufort.
