About this property

Quaint Studio Loft in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort

This unique brick loft lies in the heart of the historic commercial district, ten steps off of Bay Street, Downtown Beaufort's historic commercial street. The quaint porch entryway and interior brick walls provide the welcome retreat that makes ‘Oyster Bed’s’ individuality shine. You are one block from the scenic Waterfront Park, restaurants like Plums, Saltus, Breakwater, Q On Bay, Wren, and Hearth and others. Stroll down Bay Street, enjoying the many art galleries for which Beaufort is known or the historic residential district, the Old Point, to see the beautiful antebellum homes. The beach at Hunting Island State Park is about a 15-minuet drive away. Come to Beaufort to relax and un-wind, watch the sun set, and experience why we love Beaufort so much!
Oyster Bed is fully furnished, featuring air conditioning, beautiful hard-wood floors, a 30” flat-screen TV, and high speed internet. The kitchenette has a mini-refrigerator/freezer, coffee-maker, microwave, silverware/dinnerware, and basic kitchen goods.

Incredible location
If you and your spouse/partner want to stay downtown Beaufort, this is the place! It's across the street from Old Bull Tavern and only a few steps away from all the downtown shops/restaurants. It is small, however, it was perfect for my wife and me. I highly recommend it :)

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to enjoy some R&R. Ashely was easy to work with, and the studio couldn't have been any better. We are already thinking about when we can return!!!

Great place to stay
The location is perfect! Previous reviews mentioned loud noises, but that was not the case for me. The apartment was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Parking was just a block away, but shopping, great restaurants and a beautiful waterfront park are steps from the apartment.

Check in process was a breeze, communication with Ashley was so quick. The loft was super clean and so cute, this place took you back in time in a good way. With a quick walk downtown and a neat little bar across the street it made for a convenient and great time. The parking on Scott street was closed but no big deal.
