Take a Break, Enjoy the View, Rest A While...

Beaufort Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites The sky blazes vibrant shades of orange and red as the sun slowly sets behind giant oaks lining the Beaufort River. On the bank a tall antebellum home stands, white rocking chairs line the porch and a glass of sweet tea sits atop a wicker table. All that’s missing in this picture is you.

Accommodations in Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands reflect the character of the area — accessible and comfortable. Whether you choose to stay at a large hotel or a local inn, you’ll find a room that fits your needs. Several popular hoteliers have a presence in the area and all are located right in downtown or just minutes from Beaufort.

The Cuthbert House Inn For more of the local flavor, choose an historic bed and breakfast. Beaufort and the surrounding areas are dotted with historic homes transformed into cozy inns which consistently astound guests with their historic grandeur. You’ll enter a rich past full of luxurious fabrics, claw-foot tubs, blossoming gardens and wide verandas, without sacrificing modern conveniences.

To fall asleep to the sound of the river rippling by, rent from a variety of waterfront properties. Contemporary beachfront condos are ideal for you and your family or guests. Public beach access allows for enjoyable evening walks along the water. If you’re accommodating the entire family, expansive beach houses are the perfect fit. Kids can spend days swimming, building sandcastles and flying kites on the family-friendly beaches.

If you prefer to stay close to nature, the surrounding Sea Islands make for idyllic retreats. Fripp and Harbor Islands are home to numerous rental villas and residences available for your stay. If you’d rather provide your own shelter, take your RV, camper or pitch a tent at Hunting Island State Park’s campground facilities.

No matter where you stay, you’ll find it’s easy to get around the area. Attractions lie within 30 miles of each other, so there ’s no need to rush, and you’ll want to stay several days to see all the sights. Beaufort’s prime location also allows you to take day trips to Savannah, Charleston and Hilton Head Island (click here for directions). After a bustling day in the city, return to the serene atmosphere of the heart of the Lowcountry. Whether you go for 900-thread-count sheets or a sleeping bag, Beaufort has the perfect place to lay your head.
