Fantastic experience!!

Wow this place was amazing! GREAT location, one mile from the waterfront and historic downtown, walkable neighborhood, clean and tastefully decorated, with all necessary conveniences. Back yard was bigger than we expected, with a table and chairs for morning coffee. Access was super easy via electronic front door lock. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to visit historic Beaufort, SC!

Anchor Yourself Here!

This is an amazing gem of a property. It has the location, it has all you need inside (and out) and it's clean as a whistle. We loved our stay here and our host was outstanding. From letting us know when we could get in to giving us restaurant suggestions, it was perfect. Would definitely return to Anchor House or any of the other Mermaid properties!
