607 Bay Inn Downtown Beaufort

Beautiful historic Inn in downtown Beaufort. Great beds and bedding, great security. Kitchen and coffee/tea on each floor. Owner and staff very kind and informative. You can’t beat this location and Inn for all your needs in Beaufort. This Inn has been completely renovated. It is very modern and comfy while maintaining the historic charm.

We were one of three couples attending an adult child's wedding in Beaufort. We arrived Friday and left Sunday. Our experience was sublime. The inn operates on autopilot with ease. There is a night watchman but other than that guests pretty much have the run of the old house which is okay. There are plenty of amenities. It was easy to create our own happy hour on the upstairs porch, for instance, while we watched passersby. There is easy access to mini fridges, sinks, coffee makers and dishwashers. The beds are luxurious. The rooms well appointed. This was a fun weekend. This inn is highly recommended and we will stay there again if another friend's child gets married in Beaufort.

This is advertised as a Bed and Breakfast but it is absolutely not. No breakfast. When this was brought to the owners attention he questioned where I saw that and it is on their website. Not a third party. We were given two coupons to places for barely average breakfast. But also NO coupons for second day. Facility was nice but it is NOT a B&B and furthermore not compensated by owner for HIS mistake.

We were here for the airshow and booked about a month out. While there were limited options, at the time this seemed reasonable, considering the high demand. The rate was $379 before taxes and ended up $420 a night. We stayed two nights. While the location is really quite nice, the truth of the matter, the town is so small, everything is in walking distance and I think every hotel, inn B & B in this area would be a great location. Other family members stayed a few blocks away and their accommodations were significantly better and he paid quite a bit less.(To be fair, he booked 4 nights and might have gotten a discount for the 4 night stay) When we arrived, a person in parking lot asked if we wanted help as we were taking trash out from our road stop. No uniform, name tag etc. I thought he was a vagabond wanting a tip etc. Turns out he was an employee. Similarly, as we were entering the inn a lady asked some questions, and I finally asked her, "Do you work her" and she said. "Oh yes, I dont have my name tag on". She was collecting the rest of the charges as we only paid for one night in advance. We knew we would be in a loft room on third floor. The room was quite clean, neat, and appealing. The AC and Hot water ( for the tiny BR) worked well. The bedding and sheets were quite nice. Not so much the towels. The supplied bath products were Walmart like, no luxury bath room amenities. There were no glasses/ cups any where in the room to facilitate drinking water, brushing teeth, taking meds etc. (not even the plastic individual wrapped cups}. Ice was available from freezer on ground floor but no ice bucket to put it in. Two small bottle waters were in the room on arrival. The water was not replaced, and no maid service: no trash removal, fresh towels, much less making of the bed with existing sheets--which we would not have minded. Most surprising was the way breakfast was handled. There was two vouchers for 8$ credit at a choice of two coffee/pastry shops down the road. In other words, we had 4$ per person for each day for breakfast. The had Keurig coffee on second floor and first floor, but honestly, we felt bad going out of the room knowing the doors and walking downstairs would possible wake someone. Unfortunately, we heard doors close, folks walking up and down stairs, at at 6:30 am the people in room next to us waking up as there alarm went off and they seemed to have a morning cough that subsided after 15-20 min, Something we didnt need to know about them. The value is not there—what so ever. I think $250 plus taxes might be fair price. There are very similar options in town, and I would seek them out. We won’t stay here again and will not recommend this INN. They should immediately remove any reference to Bed and Breakfast and the word luxury from their marketing material. I have seen some of their material mention “ guest rooms and inn” and this is what they should stick to. I am not sure, but maybe a sound

607 On Bay is a must stay when you come to Beaufort, SC. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The views to the Beaufort River and a short walk to downtown makes this. the perfect getaway spot. The owners and staff are simply the best. We will definitely be back to stay at this wonderful Inn.

Wish we could have stayed more than one night. Checked in flawlessly late Friday (7pm). We were met by the wonderful manager who promptly escorted us to our room. After ensuring everything was in order, left saying he’s only a phone call away. Great southern hospitality. Room #3 was very large and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Oh but the shower….it was one of those really forceful shower heads and I was in heaven. Plenty of coffee this am and relaxing on the front porch was Southern Living magazine at its best. We cannot wait to return to Beaufort and pray they will have availability. Well done Bay Inn.
