Rhett House - A 200-year-old antebellum inn with historic verandas and Southern dining in Beaufort's landmark district
Set among Live Oaks draped with Spanish Moss and Resurrection Fern, this 4-star Beaufort hotel occupies a nearly 200-year-old plantation house. The property features two distinct verandas - a main level veranda with sitting areas for breakfast and horse-carriage viewing, plus an upper veranda with a hammock. Guests receive complimentary Southern breakfast, evening hors d'oeuvres, and nightly desserts. The Rhett House accommodates visitors across three buildings: the main house, guest cottages, and Newcastle House, with rooms featuring private baths and some including fireplaces. Most rooms are designed for two adults, with rooms 7 and 8 accommodating additional guests. The property stands within walking distance of historic district shops, waterfront dining, and downtown attractions. Located 40.5 miles from Hilton Head, Rhett House provides free bicycle rentals for local exploration.
Pros
Tesla and electric car charging stations available on-site
Free beach towels, chairs, and state park passes for Hunting Island visits
Private tour access to Pat Conroy Literary Center
Complimentary bicycle rentals for exploring the Spanish Moss Trail
Cons
No elevator access in this historic property
Limited common area space for outside guests during dining services
“Staying here feels like stepping into a Southern novel, with literary tours and moss-draped oaks setting the scene. Breakfast on the veranda is a highlight, although some rooms could use a refresh. The private tours and central location sweeten the deal, especially for a romantic getaway.”
