Home Away From Home

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!

Fantastic Home

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.

We're so glad that you enjoyed staying in our home! And that y'all experienced the fireworks over the Beaufort River. You are welcome back anytime with a 10% returning guest discount. See you next time!

Close to town

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.
