Check in was great. Room 20 was special. The entire house consisted of 2 private bedrooms, a shared living room and kitchen. Very quiet and comfortable room. We can’t wait to return.
We love the friendliness of the staffs. Great location and amenities. Will definitely stay again.

The room was spotless and the staff were great. I would have appreciated a mini fridge in our room because we had to end up buying a Styrofoam cooler to chill sodas and our leftovers.
Unique and authentic, clean and friendly, will stay here again!

All needs a refresh, outside porches look as though they could fall anytime. Bath room old, and not in a good way. Room 5. Rug in room needs a wash. Mark served us breakfast, he was great! He kept us warm in front of the fire too. Location was good, walkable to restaurants and stores and waterfront.
Cozy, charming with a fantastic breakfast! Our room had super comfortable bedding and ice cold AC. The delicious breakfast was even better on the old school front porch. Location is fantastic as well.
We live locally and wanted a night away from home. Had a delightful stay overnight. The staff were warm and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic! Will definitely stay again.
For a stay in Beaufort, SC, for my money, the Rhett House Inn cannot be beat. It is located in the heart of the historic district and within walking distance of almost everything. We parked our car on Friday afternoon and didn't see it again until we checked out on Sunday. In between, we walked to various sites of interest and restaurants throughout the day. BTW, a cooked-to-order breakfast, coffee & tea are included, as well as afternoon cheese and evening dessert. The staff is friendly and accommodating.
A wonderful stay for my wife and I. Lovely old historic property with nice garden areas. Breakfast was outstanding and the service from all the staff was exemplary! We can’t wait to return!
