Beautiful Beaufort

Beaufort is a great place to spend a few days and our rental at "Starfish" gave us a way to explore and enjoy the area. The home is part of a four-unit "complex" located on a busy main road into the heart of the town. Road noise and traffic during the day was very noticeable but no issues for sleeping. "Starfish" is directly across from the county courthouse so we got to watch a wedding "on the grounds" and walk across the street to the farmer's market on Saturday. The house was clean and had the essentials for the trip. The front porch rockers and swing allow you ample space to set back, wave hello to the many walkers passing by, and the good spot for an afternoon nap.
