Romantic Location for Anniversary Stay
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 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.

Nice historical building within a ten minute walking distance to restaurants and museums. The room was large and the bed comfortable. The complementary glass of wine and coffee was a nice touch!

Charming and Clean
We went to Beaufort for our anniversary and had an amazing stay at Circa. It’s an old souther mansion divided into luxury sweets. It’s in walking distance to downtown and is very clean and charming. We would stay here again.

Our room was exceptional and spacious. Bedding luxurious. The self serve coffee bar and wine bar was perfect touch.
Only Issue was with continued hot water in shower.
Host was quick to answer any questions.

We loved this place! It is impeccably clean, the furnishings are beautiful, and it had extra surprise amenities like a coffee bar and a wine bar. Super comfortable beds. It is within walking distance of several great restaurants and coffee shops. This is our new favorite place to stay in Beaufort.

Amazing refuge from sombre funeral
Communication was solid throughout; shower larger than photos and so relaxing; one could get lost in the comfortable bed, and the common area coffees and waters, etc., really hit the spot on a hot Summer trip.
