About this property

Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort's 'Old Point'

  • Historic 4-Bedroom Home in Downtown Beaufort’s Old Point
    Located in the heart of Beaufort’s prestigious Old Point neighborhood, this beautifully restored historic home offers a rare opportunity to experience the charm and elegance of the Lowcountry. Built in the late 1800s, the home is rich in character and history and is ideally situated just three short blocks from Waterfront Park, as well as Beaufort’s downtown shops, art galleries, restaurants, and attractions.

    The home has been thoughtfully and fully restored, blending historic details with modern comfort. Features include a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, limestone tile, heart pine floors, and a curated collection of unique antiques sourced from Bali and Indonesia.

    Sleeping Arrangements
    • Primary suite (upstairs): King bed, private bathroom with whirlpool tub, and a private sitting area
    • Second upstairs bedroom: King bed and single bed
    • Third upstairs bedroom: One queen bed and two twin beds
    • Fourth bedroom (downstairs): King bed

    Wireless internet and cable TV are provided for your convenience.

    Outdoor Living

    Three spacious porches offer the perfect setting to relax, take in the beautiful Lowcountry scenery, and watch horse-drawn carriage rides pass by. Just a short walk away, Beaufort’s newly renovated Waterfront Park features scenic views, walking paths, and a playground—ideal for an afternoon outdoors.

    Location Highlights
    • Minutes from Parris Island and Marine Corps Graduation
    • Easy access to Hunting Island State Park and public boat ramps
    • Convenient day trips to Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah

    Staying at 608 North Street provides an experience that simply can’t be matched by a hotel or condo—combining space, history, and an unbeatable downtown location.

    Please note: While the home has been completely renovated, it is nearly 200 years old and retains the charming imperfections typical of historic Beaufort and Charleston properties. If you don’t like historic properties, this is probably not the right home for you. Guests who appreciate character and authenticity will find these details part of what makes this home truly special.

Perfect family wedding, perfect house

We loved this house! It was perfect for us. We had plenty of room, the location was amazing, and it felt like home! When we had questions, the owners were quick to respond and take care of our concerns. The back yard was a mood all by itself and we loved sitting out back in the morning with coffee and conversation. Thank you for a great SC experience!

"Girls" Trip

I live here in beautiful Beaufort but could not accommodate 9 of my dear college friends. This house on the Old Point was perfect for 10 ladies in their 70's. Large kitchen, dining, and gathering room - not to mention the porches. Comfy beds for all and plenty of parking. The location was fabulous. The host answered all our questions promptly. Highly recommend for visitors to our special town!

Beautiful Beaufort

Our multigenerational family of seven stayed seven nights at this property and loved it! This 19th century home in the heart of Beaufort's historic district was clean, well-maintained, comfortable and perfectly fit our needs. The home is 3 blocks walking distance from the shops and numerous good restaurants on Beaufort's Bay Street. We loved strolling around the neighborhood and seeing the 300-year old live oaks draped with Spanish moss and the magnificent homes built in the 1700's and 1800's. Beaufort was a perfect base for our day trips to Charleston, Savannah, Hilton Head Island and the beautiful beaches at Hunting Island State Park.

Perfect get together!

Beautiful and convenient location to celebrate our son’s Boot Camp graduation with extended family. Tons of charm and character! The outdoor trash bins were full upon our arrival so the lid couldn’t close. We ended up cleaning the mess the raccoons made of the trash ... Small problem for such a wonderful experience.

Historical district

I personally felt like I was at my grandparents house. Which was great for me! It is a much older home with lots of character. If, you want new and pristine? It’s not for you. If, you enjoy somewhat rustic and comfortable? It is wonderful. Had a great stay. We were there to see my son graduate from Parris Island. Easy travel to and from the island. Multiple routes. If you like taking long walks. It is perfect!

Amazing location

We booked this home for a 4 day girls trip. The location was perfect for walking to all the activities, architecture, restaurants & shopping that Beaufort has to offer. The home has plenty of space to spread out or come together, accommodating everyone’s routine. The upstairs bedrooms have some odd layouts if privacy is a huge concern but the space is maximized to allow for additional guests. Perhaps a schematic floor plan in the listing would help visitors know what to expect. The home is well kept and preserves the history of the architecture with updated comforts of today’s standards. The owners were quick to respond with questions. We would definitely stay here again. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this quaint town in the heart of it all in this home.

Birthday weekend.

Perfect location. We could walk to shops and restaurants. The house and furnishings are very attractive, and it has been made as comfortable as possible without a major renovation. Everything we needed was there. A few suggestions: for past vacation rentals I have been given a number I could call before arriving, in case there were any problems. For example: all our designated parking spaces were occupied, and we had to find out who was using them. Also, prior notice of where to find information about the house, appliances, etc., would have been helpful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much and I would rent the house again.

Great experience/lots of room

Had a great stay! It was colder than usual in February and sometimes a couple rooms would be cold but that was the only issue we had. You do have to go through other bedrooms upstairs to get to bathrooms and other bedrooms. The room with a queen bed and 2 twins is at the top of the stairs and you have to walk through it to get to the bathroom and then the room that has a queen bed with one twin. And then there is another bedroom on the other side of upstairs that has a king bed and you have to walk through it to get to another bedroom that has a full bed and the master bath is off the room with the full bed. But we were all good friends so it was fine. But the house has plenty of space.
