Top Beaufort Hotel Reviews

Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing

Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing. Our waterfront master suite was spacious and well appointed, with a comfortable bed, plenty of pillows, a sitting area, and a lovely balcony overlooking the water. There was even room to set up the full size ironing board in a separate area and the bathroom had plenty of shelving for a longer stay. We also enjoyed the calm, mostly adult atmosphere. The hotel feels classy and is far enough from the nightlife that we weren’t disturbed at night. The only thing to know for a longer stay is that, without housekeeping service (it is upon request), you may need to empty your own trash and pick up fresh towels. That was OK with us. We’d rather leave all our things out without housekeeping coming in. The staff was always accommodating when we asked, so it was a minor inconvenience. We’d happily stay again and already made future reservations."

The Beacon

The Beacon

10/10 Excellent
"The Beacon is well-priced and a great value! Nothing fancy, but this is a vintage style motel with tons of charm. Like vintage motels, not a lot of room for belongings - a well-placed shelf would be helpful in the bathroom for vanity items. But, it is exactly as expected - small, charming, and perfect for a get-away to the beach. Very nice beach location with easy access (boardwalk through the dunes ) and a nice observation deck at the end of the boardwalk, before descending the stairs to the beach. At the motel, there is a very nice and large outdoor gathering area for relaxing and hanging out in the evenings, suitable for larger groups and also small private seating areas. The room was updated recently and clean, with a very comfortable bed. A few restaurants and stores are within walking distance, but the location is nicely suited in a slower paced section of the island."
