The property is nice but the first night was so hot because it took a while to cool down the apartment. Also, there is no accessibility for anyone with physical limitations that should be mentioned as 2 flights of stairs were required to get inside.

Quaint, Conenient and Just Right

Very easy directions and instructions. Close enough to downtown to walk and to use the on-site bikes. Right next to the ocean and marshes. This is above a cafe and a cigar shop but neither were open when we were around. Sleep, shower and relax at end of evening was what the place was used for this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Lewis (owners daughter)

Host profile image
I am a long-term resident of Beaufort SC. I currently reside on St Helena Island, SC with my wife, Beverly, a former teacher. Our two daughters and two grandchildren also live here in Beautiful Beaufort by the Sea.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 1987 and renovated the entire building in 1997. The original building was built in the mid 1950's and has been upgraded several times. Suites A & B have always been long-term rentals and beginning in September 1, 2016 we upgraded and converted them to furnished short-term rentals.



What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this building because of the cool breezes, large magnolias and Spanish moss covered trees. The building is located in the historic district on Carteret St. at Bellamy Curve and has sweeping views of the Intercostal Waterway. There is reserved parking in front of the entry door but if by chance it is taken there is an abundance of available parking located behind the building..
