There is a 150’ walkway, pier home, and floating dock for fishing. The waterfront view of a 2000-acre marsh, rivers, and creeks is spectacular.
Beaufort is a historic southern town surrounded by sea islands. The intra-coastal waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and a myriad of rivers and creeks wrap the islands with sunrises and sunsets unlike any other. It was named “best modest southern town” by southern living, “southern dream town” by Garden & Gun, “6 terrific towns on the water” by money magazine, and “American's happiest town” by coastal living magazine
Beaufort is an ideal vacation area, located just 12 miles from the ocean at Hunting Island, an hour from Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. Its treasured coast includes the historic towns of Port Royal, Beaufort and Bluffton as well as Hilton Head Island. It is also made up of many smaller islands rich with the history and heritage of both the revolutionary and civil wars. Visitors are supplied a rich experience of history, culture, dining, annual events, cultural festivals, arts and outdoor recreation.
Henry chambers waterfront park winds along the glistening Beaufort River with a vista of marsh islands and waterways. Horse-drawn carriages transport through yesteryear in “the point”, an antebellum neighborhood where handsome mansions stand beneath moss-strewn oaks. Excellent eateries and boutique one-of-a-kind stores line historic bay street. Whether its fresh seafood, southern-style cooking or Gullah cuisine, there is a wide selection of local eateries to choose from. For the past quarter of a century Beaufort has served as the backdrop for many major motion photos, including Forrest Gump, the Big Chill, the Prince of Tides, and the Great Santini.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:
When to book & When to go:
- Summer is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
- Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
- Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
- Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Beaufort, SC area:
- Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
- Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Charming Waterfront Car House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
- Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
- If there's a particular Beaufort, SC beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
- If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
More considerations for your visit:
- Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
- During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
- Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
- Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
