About this property

Quaint Studio Loft in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort

This unique brick loft lies in the heart of the historic commercial district, ten steps off of Bay Street, Downtown Beaufort's historic commercial street. The quaint porch entryway and interior brick walls provide the welcome retreat that makes ‘Oyster Bed’s’ individuality shine. You are one block from the scenic Waterfront Park, restaurants like Plums, Saltus, Breakwater, Q On Bay, Wren, and Hearth and others. Stroll down Bay Street, enjoying the many art galleries for which Beaufort is known or the historic residential district, the Old Point, to see the beautiful antebellum homes. The beach at Hunting Island State Park is about a 15-minuet drive away. Come to Beaufort to relax and un-wind, watch the sun set, and experience why we love Beaufort so much!
Oyster Bed is fully furnished, featuring air conditioning, beautiful hard-wood floors, a 30” flat-screen TV, and high speed internet. The kitchenette has a mini-refrigerator/freezer, coffee-maker, microwave, silverware/dinnerware, and basic kitchen goods.

Perfect Weekend

Cannot say enough about this wonderful place! My husband and I love love loved it. Easy to get around to places from it. We had a boat that was at the marina, which was only a block away. We want to come back and stay again for a weekend again. Everything about this place was perfect!

Beaufort Studio

Check in process was a breeze, communication with Ashley was so quick. The loft was super clean and so cute, this place took you back in time in a good way. With a quick walk downtown and a neat little bar across the street it made for a convenient and great time. The parking on Scott street was closed but no big deal.

Couples trip

Stayed in Beaufort for a few days heading south. This rental is in a perfect location. Great restaurant across the street & many more around the corner along with lots of shops. Water view is a block & a half walk. The rental is small but big enough for 2 for a few days. We called owning with a connectivity issue he came in a few minutes & all issues resolved.

Enjoyed our stay!

My husband and I enjoyed this quaint little apartment in the center of things in Beaufort. Our only problem was the air-conditioner was a little slow to cool the room down initially because it was over 100° outside. Ashley was very responsive and quick to provide assistance. We will definitely be coming back!

Great property!

Hey Ashley - we had a great weekend in Beaufort and really enjoyed having your place as home base. Super convenient to walk everywhere we wanted to go - restaurants, shopping and the waterfront park. Free parking at the marina is a great perk, but we also found street parking closer at a low price too. Cute little grocery market directly below and Old Bull Tavern just steps away. Our ONLY complaint is that the AC needs a boost somehow - it gets HOT here! If nothing else, an oscillating fan would have been awesome to provide some circulation in the space. It’s a great rental for a couple. We hope to come again.

Anniversary Getaway for two!!

Loved the Oyster Den but the folks before us had taken the key & parking pass so had to contact the manager. He arranged for another key & found us a place to park. Hopefully that doesn’t happen often. Not a great way to start but Loved the location & the quaintness of the loft. Does require being able to do steps & walk for parking. No problem for us!!! Loved it!!

Great little studio apartment. Close to Bay Street and waterfront park. Enjoyed walking around Beaufort and then returning to room to get our second wind. Great having a refrigerator and microwave to heat up any leftovers. Street noise was minimal. Definitely would stay here again!

This place is tidy, charming and clean. It is extremely convenient for all things downtown Beaufort. We walked to everything we needed and there is a little store underneath that has a variety of items including snacks, drinks and wine. It appeared they were mid renovation as the entrance door and bathroom trim were non existent - leaving it mildly unsightly. The entrance stairs could use some vegetation control, especially if someone is allergic to poison ivy. Sleeping wise the bed could use a quieter bed protector and one night the crowd on the street got rowdy throughout the night so we were awaken several time. Overall I would recommend and I would stay again - it was a cozy convenience bed/bath & kitchenette for a nice weekend down town!

Great little apartment right in the heart of downtown, historic district, shopping, and great food choices. There was some restaurant noise late at night, since there is an excellent restaurant/bar right across the street. We plan to book again in the future.Parking worked out well, just be aware that the designated car park area is a couple of blocks away. Not an issue for us, but some might. Also, there are steps leading up to the apartment. Again, we loved it, but for anyone with disabilities, it might be an issue.
