4 bedroom historic home in the heart of Downtown Beaufort.

This 4 bedroom, 3 bath historic home sits in the heart of Downtown Beaufort's esteemed 'Old Point'. Constructed in the late 1800's, this home is part of Beaufort's history, and is only 3 short blocks from the Waterfront Park, as well as shopping, art galleries, eateries and attractions of downtown. If you stay at 608 North Street, you will be in the ideal location to experience the best of Beaufort.

The home has been completely restored with a entirely equipped kitchen, limestone tile, heart pine floors, new stainless steel appliances, and impressive antiques from Bali and Indonesia. The enormous master suite features a king bed, private bathroom with whirlpool tub, and a private sitting area. The 2nd upstairs bedroom has a king and single bed. The 3rd upstairs bedroom has two twin beds, and one queen bed. The 4th bedroom downstairs has a king bed. Wireless internet and cable TV are included.

Three sizable porches provide great spots to admire the impressive low country scenery and watch the horse drawn carriage rides pass. A short walk is Beaufort's freshly refreshed Waterfront Park, complete with a playground, which provides the ideal location for an afternoon of enjoyment.

Hunting Island State Park and public boat ramps are all conveniently accessible, and Charleston, Hilton Head, or Savannah are close enough for day trips.

Staying at 608 North Street will really be an experience that cannot be matched by a hotel, condo, or any other rental home.

While this home has been completely remodeled, if you are someone who is expecting new, flawless construction and prefers a hotel room or suite over a historic property, this is probably not the home for you. This home was constructed nearly 200 years ago, and it does have imperfections that are typical of historic homes in the Beaufort and Charleston areas. We think these imperfections are what makes the home special.

Beaufort rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the perfect rental home in Beaufort:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort's 'Old Point' has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your trip.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
