A perfect location to explore downtown Beaufort! We thoroughly enjoyed walking to shops and restaurants. The home has been beautifully and thoughtfully modernized with a fantastic kitchen and bathroom. It was hard to leave!

Beautiful home built in 1897 in walking distance to everything in beautiful historic downtown Beaufort. I only drove to the store and my in laws. House was clean with recently done bathroom and kitchen. House was used as an art studio before and was converted nicely to a home. Owner apparently owns the workshop next door as well. The home has so much character. The wood floors creak and move when you walk in a good way: The house is alive and has a personality and charm of its own. i would definitely stay again and highly recommend it. Also HVAC system appears recent. Home has Dual zones so the temperature is moderated nicely.

This is the place to stay in Beaufort! What a beautiful home - so clean and restful. The beds were spacious and comfie, the downstairs living room and kitchen were perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. It's a very easy, safe walk into town. And off-street parking! We plan on staying here again, thanks, Tom!

The house was beautiful and you could really tell the host cared that you had a great experience. The house was decorated for fall and it was such a great touch. Would absolutely stay here again.

Thomas and Annette's "Gallery" was perfect for our stay in Beaufort. They really put a lot of thought into the space and went above and beyond a typical airbnb. The amenities were very nice and great touches throughout the space. The parking pass to the state park was wonderful - we went both days we were there! The area is perfect and walkable to downtown in minutes. Highly recommend and would stay here again next time we are in Beaufort! Thank you. p.s. we loved the book on the transformation from art gallery to your home!

This place was amazing We looked at the book, that described how it use to be an Art Gallery. So interesting and fun to look at. My son graduated from Paris Island and found the bed comfortable
