Guest Access

Everything except the upstairs balcony. This is because historic homes traditionally have a sloping balcony towards the street and the guard rail is very low. Thank you for your understanding.

This is a great place! Beautiful home and a 10 min or less walk to downtown. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood in the evenings to see all the beautiful historic homes. The house had everything we needed and more. Very clean and well thought out. We will for sure stay again!

Absolutely fantastic stay! Could not have had a better trip! The house was so beautiful and historic. It fits the area so perfectly. There was an abundance of wonderful surprises: .I loved the numerous hot tea options with a tea kettle, plastic baggies for leftovers, elegant scented candles with a lighter to enjoy, beach towels, free pass to Hunting Is and they did a top notch renovation with the most functional and beautiful sink in the kitchen and a perfect bathroom. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Best sleep I’ve had in years because of how quiet it was in Beaufort. I really can’t say enough great things. If you get a chance to stay at this place, you’re so fortunate. Just hit the reserve button now! It’s hands-down one of my favorite trips. In the area, the she crab soup at Panini’s & fried green tomatoes at Wren were delicious, we rented kayaks and loved that, super enjoyed the museum at Parris Is and learning what recruits do there, tasted olive oils and walked all over

We loved this Airbnb! It had a ton of character, local history, and all the amenities you might need. The house was walkable to restaurants and shops and we loved the addition of bikes to get around. Thomas was very communicative even left a bottle of champagne for our stay.
