This attractively restored home, listed on the National Historic Register, exudes a phenomenal blend of historic appeal and southern hospitality combined with modern 21st century amenities. Unwind with your favorite book on the porch swing overlooking the bay! Sip a cool drink from one of the many rockers on the roomy wrap-around porch. Watch fishing, recreational and tour boats sail by. You may even see dolphins frolicking! This waterfront home offers some of the best vistas in all of Beaufort! A short walk along the water, shaded by broad oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, will bring guests to many stores, eateries, and the fashionable Waterfront Park.

Originally the home of a prominent local family, it was known as “The Teacherage” for decades as a home for single teachers. This home later became one of the south's most trendy bed and breakfast inns. A recent meticulous major remodel has returned the stately home to its original intent as a single-family private escape where guests can appreciate five cavernous bedrooms and six bathrooms. Each bedroom, as well as the dining room, kitchen and living room, offers a water view.

Your sea island getaway combines a excellent blend of historic architectural features such as original neoclassic columns, a gum wood bannister, and charmingly crafted moldings along with modern conveniences. Along with superb water vistas, the home features a vintage claw-foot soaking tub, original heart pine, oak and mahogany floors, fashonable granite countertops, a pretty garden, a historic rib cage brass shower, gas fireplace and comfortable beds with high-quality linens. A second floor screened-in porch offers the convenience of a close by drink center complete with coffee maker and refrigerator that accepts guests to roll out of bed and savor a cup of coffee while gazing at the water. The home features an impressive collection of cozy, but not fussy, 18th and 19th century antiques. Because it provides a unique blend of enormous communal spaces and private bedrooms, this home would make a ideal destination for groups traveling together such as couples, girlfriends' getaways, and modest family get-togethers.

Beaufort rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Beaufort. To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Beaufort, SC restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in Beaufort:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Stunning Water Views and Southern Hospitality in Historic Downtown Beaufort has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
