My husband and I decided to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in the charming antebellum town of Beaufort, SC. We read the reviews of the Rhett House Inn and decided to stay there. What a beautiful Inn. The staff was warm, friendly and ready to be helpful in any way they could. They made us feel so very much at home. Breakfasts were wonderful as were the desserts ready and waiting for us in the kitchen upon our return from dinners at nearby restaurants. The Inn is one block from the water - within walking distance of all the shops in town and a lovely waterfront park. Our room was lovely, spacious and very clean. Since it was February, and although the weather was actually quite nice, it wasn't quite warm enough to spend as much time outside on the verandah as we would have liked, but it's an inviting place to eat breakfast and to just sit and read a book.

The Rhett house is a beautiful historical home that has been renovated with modern necessities such as whirl tubs, gas fire places in rooms, under counter refrigerator, pull out swivel TV, etc w/o compromising the integrity of the house.
We stayed in Room 17 - in the annex building. The bed was very compfortable! They supplied robes & an umbrella - not that we needed it, but it was nice to have. Our room had a front porch with two cushioned wicker chairs and our own parking space. The Rhett house is within walking distance to Bay street, the water front and all the restaurants and lovely stores. The old neighborhoods are just beautiful! Any history buff, Interior Designer/Architect would love this Inn!

The main house had a living area with tea, lemonade, & cheese & crackers for your afternoon snack. There's a bar set up on a butler's cart also in the living room. They have a variety of red & white wines, sodas & mini bottles - on the honor system. You simply write down your room # & and what you had on the pad provided.

They also have DVD's & CD's for you to use in your room.

In the evenings, there were (3) homemade deserts on the kitchen counter. The almond cake w/white icing was my favorite! We just sat down at the kitchen table for 4 and enjoyed our dessert. It was very cozy & a nice way to meet other guests.

The breakfast was wonderful! They give you (3) choices. We had choices of The southern b-fast - eggs, bacon, grits & bread, pancakes/french toast & then the special one morning was some wonderful mexican style b-fast dish that my husband loved. They also had an omlette special another morning.

The staff was very pleasant & helpful. I felt like a guest in their house.

This is a very romantic cozy B&B. Great for all!

Wonderful place. The staff and amenities are first rate. Lots of little touches that really communicate hospitality - dessert after you come home from supper, bicycles to ride, spectacular breakfasts --- a truly first class place. We completely recommend it!

My Husband and I loved our time in Beaufort. Locale makes day trips to Savannah, Charleston and Hilton Head a breeze.
The staff is first rate - fabulous. The breakfast and desserts are to die for! Our room was decorated beautifully. This historic home is clean and well cared for.
The only negative for us was the bed. This was our second stay at the INN. We were in a wonderful room last stay but the bed was terrible, this time we asked for a room with the best mattress. Though we were told we had the newest mattress at the Inn, it still wasn't comfy enough to keep us sleeping through the night. I don't think we will stay again unless they upgrade their mattress line.
