Celebrating with old and new friends!

We always want to stay here when we visit. Enjoyed the beach, dining out and walking downtown. The local library down the street provided researcher appointments and was a great addition to this trip. Already booked again for fall tours. Terri

Beaufort visited again

Loved the property….neighborhood was quiet. Few houses down the street that were in poor condition. Never felt uncomfortable. Liked the security system. For privacy, needs to be curtains or blinds on windows on each side of door. Also could use an extra hook or two in the master bathroom. The history of the house was interesting and restoration was amazing . Very comfortable and well decorated. Would stay there again .

Beautiful, Clean, Great location

This property is absolutely beautiful! Truly one of the cleanest and well-equipped properties I’ve ever stayed in. You’re drive to popular locations, such as Bay Street and the water, is very short but the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner is very helpful and accommodating, even allowing us to check in early due to housekeeping being ahead of schedule. If we’re ever back in the area, this is where we’ll be staying!

Quick getaway!

We loved our stay at this gorgeous home. The bed was super comfy and we had amazing sleep. The kitchen was well-stocked and beautiful. I wish we had an opportunity to cook more. We enjoyed riding the bikes into town to grab coffee in the morning and dinner at night. The cafe across the street was a lovely perk as well!!.

About the host

Hosted by Alison

Host profile image
Bill & I are originally from Atlanta, Ga, but 20 years ago we moved to South Florida to open a new business. However, our long term plan is to retire to beautiful, historic Beaufort one day. We felt renovating this home was the 1st step towards are journey to living in Beaufort. We hope you enjoy & love this area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

As our contractor put it "this house is one of the last greatest saves". We fell in love with the home, even though it needed LOTS of work. We feel like we have restored a bit of history and added our footprint the wonderful historic area of Beaufort.
