This home is very cozy!We loved the porches and back yard garden!The location was perfect for getting to the downtown. It worked well for our family and we would stay here again. Would be happy to recommend it to family and friends.
Wonder stay with every thing we needed. Love the comfortable feel of the historic house and all the cozy places to sit and relax. Perfect location for walking to the downtown area.
It was just as pictured. We had everything we needed. Close to Paris Island for my sons boot camp graduation. Nice restaurants and shops on the water front. We enjoyed our stay.
This location is wonderful for those who like to walk without worrying about a parking place for downtown activities. It also provides a shortcut to The Chocolate Tree! Fabulous location!
Great home.
Great location.
Happy with parking available.
We had difficulty with watching the TV ( sport event we wanted to watch on network television- directions would be best.
fabulous location. Lots of room for the 3 of us. Yard unusable. House needs updating but it is 120 years old! Absolutely fabulous location. Great parking. Well equipped kitchen.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

This is such an amazing opportunity - to be able to stay in this unique historic property. Plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. Large rooms and the most walkable neighborhood in the United States! Able to walk to the downtown shopping area and restaurants within minutes. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay! The home was in the perfect location and the atmosphere was fantastic. We were there with three generations of family and everyone had a lot of fun. We’ll definitely be back.
Wonderful! Plenty of room for our family and wonderful location. The three dedicated parking spots were also a plus! Owners were extremely responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again if I needed a place this size. We were there for my son's graduation from MCRD so this made it extra special!
We wanted to try something different this year and stay “in town” versus on the water or near the water and this was a refreshing change for us. The house had plenty of room and was extremely comfortable for all. Great beds! We loved that it was so close to everything in downtown Beaufort and all was within walking distance. We enjoyed walking to check out the different restaurants and coffee houses. We liked this place so much that we plan to do the same house next year. The hosts reached out a couple of times and were very attentive. Highly recommend.
