“Beautifully restored historic home in a lovely location. Walkable to water's edge, restaurants, and parks. Sound machine was provided for street noise, but was unnecessary for us. We'd choose to stay here again if the opportunity arises.”
“This air bnb was beautiful. It’s close to downtown Beaufort near plenty of shops and restaurants. The room was very clean and tidy. I had a great nights rest. I travel to Beaufort often and I would stay here again.”
“Had a fantastic stay at Circa 1785. Rooms were clean, spacious, and as advertised. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed a morning coffee on the porch which was lovely. The hosts were available by text and were responsive. Parking was easy and free. Would stay again!”
“I don’t even have the words to express how incredible our stay was. Everything about Circa 1785 was wonderful. It was such a wonderful escape for my fiancé and I. We loved the location, downtown Beaufort is the cutest and the hotel was in walking distance to all of it! The biggest feature that I fell in love with was the feeling of absolute LUXURY! The clean, comfortable, beautiful room was just so peaceful and perfect for some relaxing and getting to just connect. I wish I could give 10 stars!!! Definitely planning to stay there the next time we are looking for a hotel in Beaufort. :)”
“We had a wonderful stay at Richard’s Circa 1785. The home was absolutely beautiful, so rich in history. Beaufort was amazing, and the location of the Richard’s place made walking to all the sites and shopping a breeze. The King bed in our suite was extremely comfortable, one of the best we have encountered in our experience on Airbnb. Highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.”
“We had an amazing stay. The room was described accurately. The king size bed was very comfortable and the shower/ water pressure was great. We loved the character of the old house and the original floors. So beautiful! They were very responsive and we look forward to our next stay.”
“Richard’s place was lovely. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom with both a soaking tub and amazing shower head was wonderful after a long day. I appreciated all of the little touches, like the sound machine. I cannot wait to return…I will stay longer!”
“Absolutely a 10/10 experience! Not only was the room and bathroom stunning, but the check in/out was seamless, and staff was kind and helpful over text. The coffee bar and upstairs wine bar was adorable. They had thought of everything! I cannot wait to stay here again, I couldn’t recommend it more for your next Beaufort vacay!”
