I was on vacation in South Carolina when I saw the movie. I hadn't realized the movie was filmed or set in South Carolina, because in the book it was set in North Carolina. Well, we were driving back from the movie theater (in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina) and I noticed a sign that said Seabrook, and there was an arrow. I never got a chance to follow that arrow, but I don't know if it was a city or not. I look on maps of the Island, and it didn't have any area called "Seabrook." I am wondering if this is the movie Seabrook, or just some sort of area on the Island. Oh my gosh...Hilton Head Island is SOOOOOOO beautiful!! When my school went down to South Carolina in March we sang at the country club there...and all around us there were these gigantic, beautiful waterfront houses. And yeah, Seabrook's just an island...(as someone said, it's called "Seabrook Island") i don't think anyone lives there, though. And about the Beaufort thing...it was kinda funny...when we stopped at the rest station in Charlotte, NC (we had driven 21 hours) we were looking at the map and noticed 2 different Beauforts...and i'm like "hey, that's where AWTR takes place!" and then i saw another town called Beaufort in South Carolina...so the woman working there told me that the town in NC was pronouned "Bo-fort" and the one in SC was pronounced "BeaU-fert." i'm gonna stop now...i'm babbling

[glow=green,2,300]I also just read that the exterior shots of Allie's house were probably filmed at Boone Hall, just north of Charleston. But you might want to check into that, because the girl who posted that on IMDb seemed a little unsure of herself. Hopefully you can actually find Noah's house...does anyone else just want to move there, hehe? It's so beautiful... [/glow] After visiting the Boone Hill Plantation website and comparing it to photos of Allie's house - I don't think the two are one in the same. I wish they were - because I'm heading down to Charleston next week to celebrate my birthday! I'm trying to find spots where the movie was filmed....

I was just there and the tour guide at Boone Hall said the the exterior of the house was used as Allie's House, the interior for Allie's house was shot elsewhere at Calhoun Mansion in downtown Charleston.

Wow! That's interesting. The photo on the main page to the Boone plantation shows a home which doesnt look like the one used for Allie's home. Allie's house had a half-moon window above the main door .... at least from what I can tell in the movie trailer.
Oh well, it'll be neat to see it when I'm there next week!

The tour guide said the the exterior was changed a bit, the front steps for instance in the movie was in front of the door, really the houses steps go up on each side. The half moon imagine was added.

The half moon imagine was added. Ahh - that makes sense now. There is a crescent glass window above the real building - it looks like in the movie they just covered it up. Thanks for clarifying!

Does anyone have any idea where Noah's house was? And where they filmed the scene on the dock with the rain?

Noah's house is a private residence, it is called Black River Plantation and is located in Georgetown, SC. I imagine the the dock is on the plantation.

Thanks so much for your help! I can't wait to get down there and look around. I'm heading to Wilmington first, and then driving down the coast to Charleston. Thanks again for all your help! I'll be sure to take lots of photos too....
