Entirely modernized home constructed in 1910 with historic appeal and a modern touch. Located in the historic district of Beaufort just ~8 blocks from downtown and a fast 12min drive to Parris Island, this is the ideal home for graduation, vacation or work. Many of the pieces, artwork and photos are from the owner's travels around the world. The yard is fenced in to offer privacy, the neighbor is an officer, complimentary Hunting Island pass, beach gear and the internet is super fast. ALL are welcome! :)

We are local and can help with any questions.

Beaufort is located on Port Royal Island, in the heart of the Sea Islands and South Carolina Lowcountry. The city is acclaimed for its breathtaking location and for maintaining a historic character by preservation of its antebellum architecture. My home is located in the Downtown area which is a great mix of people, cultures and homes.

There are a few ride-shares around but I wouldn’t entirely depend on it. I recommend having a car and/or bicycle if you are only staying in the downtown area. Check out University Bikes or Lowcountry Bicycles for units.

We have multiple short-term units in the area. Our goal is to make your experience a 5+ star. We are local and can help or make recommendations whenever needed. We have a keypad for painless access and check-in. A fenced-in backyard along with a screened-in porch offers privacy. There is a police officer living next door so you should feel additional secure. We have one Hunting Island pass that is good for one car. We do have a Ring doorbell with a camera on the front porch and a floodlight + camera overlooking the backyard only for security. We have YouTube TV. Lastly, we conveniently have beach gear for any beach adventure.

We have a Parris Island graduation handbook we put together to help you navigate graduation.

How to find the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. Book your Beaufort, SC rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Modern + Historic Downtown Home has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
