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 completely equipped kitchen, limestone tile, heart pine floors, new stainless steel appliances, and impressive antiques from Bali and Indonesia. The sizable 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 supplied.

Three huge porches provide great spots to admire the handsome low country scenery and watch the horse drawn carriage rides pass. A short walk is Beaufort's freshly modernized 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 comfortably 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 refreshed, 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.

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Beaufort. To find the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your group agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine 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.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
