About Anchorage 1770
Anchorage 1770 occupies an 18th-century property at 1103 Bay St overlooking the Beaufort River. Built in 1770, the inn is known for its broad porches and the atmosphere of staying in a historic Lowcountry house rather than a conventional hotel. Its location at the quieter end of Bay Street remains within easy walking distance of shops, galleries, the waterfront park and downtown restaurants.
The inn has roughly fourteen rooms, with layouts and historic details that vary by accommodation. Porches and verandas are important shared spaces, giving guests places to sit with river views. Complimentary bicycles and help arranging local activities add to the appeal for travelers who want to explore beyond the immediate downtown streets.
The Ribaut Social Club provides on-site dining and is used for brunch, dinner and special occasions, with porch seating and Lowcountry dishes forming part of the experience. The inn can also arrange wellness and outdoor activities, including massage, yoga and partnerships for water-based excursions.
Anchorage 1770 is best suited to couples and travelers who prioritize architecture, waterfront atmosphere and a relaxed porch-centered stay. Guests expecting uniform modern rooms should remember that the age and historic character of the building naturally create variation between accommodations.
