Great Short Getaway
This property was one of the cleanest VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. Good location, 8-10 minute walk to the heart of Front Street. Property owner was great with communication, highly recommend.

Easy downtown Beaufort
Really great stay with Bruce and Margaret, the guest house was the perfect situation for myself and my 15 year-old son with the 2 single beds. Very quiet, very casual, and our hosts made sure our stay was just right! Super easy access to all the downtown Beaufort has to offer. The outdoor shower was a huge bonus!

The Bee’s Knees!
We had a delightful stay at the Updated Guest House. The reservation process was easy peasy. Check-in and check-out could not have been any easier. The guest house is beautiful, comfortable, in a convenient location, and has all the amenities one would expect. Thank you for sharing your charming cottage with us!
Great Guest House, walking distance to shops and Food. A

I like being there it’s very close to the waterfront and downtown Beaufort walking distance.
It was great Just one thing the bugs on the porch but other than that, it was perfect. Nothing a little bug spray or bug zapper then take care of but the place was nice and clean. It was perfect. Looking forward being there next year.

Beautiful Historic Stay
We enjoyed the location, walking distance to so many things. Warm, comfortable home with all you need. The beds were a bit too firm. We loved the rocking on the front porch. Wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful weekend in Beaufort staying at the Guest House. We walked to restaurants and marina where we took the ferry to the islands and beaches around.
The home was lovely, perfect for two people. It was very clean, comfortable, with beautiful interior decoration, in a great location.

This is a great property and in a great location. My husband and I parked our car when we arrived and never had to get back in it until it was time to leave two days later. Everything you need is walking distance. The cottage is adorable and definitely only meant for two people. Very clean as well.

Perfect Location
This cute guesthouse was the perfect location and a great cost compared to most places in Beaufort. The beds were fairly noisy when rolling over, but other than that it was a great place!
