What guests think
Across recent reviews, Harrington House- Short Walk to Downtown is praised for its walkable location near the waterfront and Bay Street, very clean interiors, historic character, comfortable beds, and a well equipped kitchen.
Many also note thoughtful extras such as a park pass, fire pit, front porch seating, and practical items from an ironing board to a washer and dryer. A recurring drawback is limited bedroom privacy due to glass-paneled doors and the small, cozy layout that can feel tight for two couples. Expect a charming, well-supplied historic cottage suited to travelers who value character and homey comforts.

This is a hidden gem- fully functional and perfect our needs. We ate out so I can’t comment on the kitchen, but it was clean and functional. Beds comfortable. A charming piece of history downtown.

We had a great stay at the Harrington house. It was a perfect space for our family of 4. We were easily able to walk to downtown for restaurants and boat cruises. Walking around the neighborhood or spending time on the front porch is a beautiful way pass time too. The house is beautifully decorated, with spaces for us all to cozy up with a book or game, and included a park pass, which was unexpected, but appreciated! We enjoyed our time in downtown Beaufort!

We loved it. The original wood floors are gorgeous. The kitchen has been completely updated. Comfy beds, super clean. And nice big bath towels. About 5 blocks from downtown which was a nice walk. Gorgeous sunsets down on the river. Highly recommend.

We stayed here with our son and daughter in law for a wedding on Dataw Island. Bc there were 2 couples, the arrangements were a little tight & cozy. However, we were on the go most of our stay, so not a-lot of “hanging out” time together in the accommodations. Our only complaint…the bedroom doors are lited, window /panel doors with no curtains for privacy. We reached out to the property manager the night of our arrival, but by the time he was able to respond/come by to hang up some door coverings the next day we were in the middle of getting dressed for the wedding. Appreciated the effort to remedy the issue. We made do by draping linens over the doors during our stay. This is the only reason why I did not give 5 stars. Great location, nice outdoor area, full washer and dryer, comfortable, clean and lots of character. Reasonable rate as well.

We have been coming to Beaufort annually for the Dragon Boat Festival for about 8 years. We found the Harrington House in 2023 and this is the second time we have stayed. This place has everything we needed and more right down to the ironing board and vegetable peeler! We will look no further and try booking this dwelling when we return! It was perfect and so convenient to the Waterfront and Downtown.

It's a very cute cottage. Very clean. It says sleeps 4. There are 2 bdrm they are tiny with a double/queen bed. So if you are going with friends & don't mind sleeping together it'll fit 4 fine. The rooms are smaller than expected but worked for us. We brought an air mattress & put it in the living room. Went to the water festival & the first night heading to bed we heard gunshots (not fireworks) they were true gunshots, called 911 & they said they had multiple calls. Police cruisers were in the area quickly. Called the landlord & he pretty much laughed at me & said it was safe. Spoke to neighbors & they said it's normal gunfire from 2 blocks away but it sure sounded like it was right out the window. The lady across the street said, "don't be concerned they don't come down this way." All in all it was a great cottage & enjoyed our stay with no further issues in the area.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay, right in the heart of historic Beaufort! We could walk to shops and nearby sites, and drive to places further afield. Our host went the extra mile to be sure we had everything we needed - which we did, the house is perfectly nice and comfortable (especially for just two of us... it might start to feel very cozy for four or five, given the single bathroom and very tiny dining setup, but I could still imagine a family finding it just right). I'd absolutely recommend this or book it again.

We have been coming to Beaufort annually for the Dragon Boat Festival for about 8 years. We found the Harrington House in 2023 and this is the second time we have stayed. This place has everything we needed and more right down to the ironing board and vegetable peeler! We will look no further and try booking this dwelling when we return! It was perfect and so convenient to the Waterfront and Downtown.

We loved this place! Very clean, stylish and full of character with original and historic touches. Great location — 10-15 minute walk downtown and just a couple of blocks from the waterfront. Highly recommend!

Cottage is very cute, fresh, and well maintained. Had everything we needed. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 1 tall teen. Good neighborhood, easy walk to waterfront and downtown.

This place was perfect. Great amenities and loved the outside area even though the weekend we were there it was too cold to use it ! Short walk to town - will definitely stay here again soon!

Thanks so much for letting us stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The home was beautiful - I especially loved the floors and so much history! The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Everything we wanted to see was in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again!

It was beautiful! We had a fire in the backyard. I enjoyed my stay so much. My father was also pleased with the accommodations. Thank you so much for hosting us. We had a lovely wedding weekend.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay, right in the heart of historic Beaufort! We could walk to shops and nearby sites, and drive to places further afield. Our host went the extra mile to be sure we had everything we needed - which we did, the house is perfectly nice and comfortable (especially for just two of us... it might start to feel very cozy for four or five, given the single bathroom and very tiny dining setup, but I could still imagine a family finding it just right). I'd absolutely recommend this or book it again.
