Great stay! Room was comfortable. Great location. Easy booking, check-in, check-out. Loved the complimentary coffee & wine on the back veranda overlooking the marsh. Would recommend & would stay again.
I loved this property and process. However, they could use one extra towel rack for drying towels in the bathroom and chairs on the front porch to enjoy the sun in the afternoon. The bed was so comfy!!!! Other than that, it was really sweet! And the texts we got from the hospitality company were greatly appreciated!
Offering a romantic location for our one night anniversary stay in Beaufort, Circa 1785 ticked all the boxes. I am getting used to the style of this type of STR - in a home without any host. (At first, being an Airbnb host myself, I was put off but now appreciate this type of stay.) Particularly impressed with the clear communication at this property, and with the bountiful supply of amenities.
The experience at this 'self service' hotel would have been five stars across the board except for the fact that we would not provided with the codes for the front door or a room. Upon arrival, I had to call the company and was told that the appropriate person would respond within 60 seconds. This did not happen and we waited for 30-45 minutes for a reply When I emailed the company as directed if we had a problem, their mailbox was full. Just as we were preparing to leave in search of another hotel, an email with the codes arrived. Otherwise, the room was clean and freshly made up, there was an adequate supply of towels and our stay overall was quite pleasant, indeed much above average. I would book again, and hopefully by then the system will have been improved.
Nice place. Hope to be back. Just odd that we never met anyone that worked at circa 1785. Everything was remote. Which made it challenging when we had thermostat issues
Large space, convenient to town , should leave bottled water for guests

This is an old historic home that was remodeled into a small hotel With five suites. We had 3 rooms, our friends found dirty robes and wet towels in his room. We discuss with the owner and was promised to get a refund of some percentage. I texted and followed up but nothing from the owner. The sheets and beds are nice and comfortable. We had the biggest suite and it was nice although the couches is dirty and should be steam Clean! Nice decor
Beautiful unit with nice extra touches / contactless entry worked well

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this unique and historic setting. The room was spacious and everything was clean and comfortable. We will definitely consider another stay.
The room was huge and very comfortable. The shower was also very large and had great water pressure. Perfect place to stay for a show at USCB and walkable to everything.
