A place full of history, romance and relaxation, the Rhett House Inn dates back to 1820 when Beaufort was a prominent coastal town noted for its rich culture. Bordering the Intracoastal Waterway and in the historic district, the Rhett House Inn is perfectly situated to discover the glory of the South Carolina low country.

The verandahs are perfect for afternoon tea with homemade cookies and brownies or evening hors d'oeuvres with wine and cocktails. Indoors, the main living room made warm and cozy by English and American antiques is a perfect place to socialize or read by the fire.

The Rhett House Inn is a member of AAA, Mobil, Select Registry, Classic Inns of the South,South Carolina Bed & Breakfast Association, the Greater Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Beaufort and the Historic Beaufort Foundation.
