Large bedroom with comfy queen bed with a coastal decorated full bath with shower and roomy closet, gorgeous shell encrusted mirror and Annie Sloan painted cabinet. Bedroom has brand new MATOUK bedding and cotton bedding. An antique dresser with scented drawer liners, large walk-in closet with tons of room and washer-dryer.

Our backyard and garden is perfect for you to enjoy your morning coffee, tea or espresso under our market umbrella and outdoor dining table furnished with comfy cushions. Grill your fresh catch on the BBQ! Newly built large Outdoor Shower and deck with private entrance to cottage. Fully stocked with bath products, shampoo, etc. Great for after the beach or boating! Two new bikes in garage for your use as well!

PARKING on our cross streets - Anne or Broad Street, jus 3 doors down on either side of us, though guests may unload in our driveway.

We are 1 1/2 blocks from Front Street where you can often see some of the wild horses grazing besides the shoreline of Carrot Island. It's an enjoyable short walk into downtown Beaufort with its numerous fine restaurants, museums, art galleries, sightseeing adventures and shops. Take a ride on Beaufort's historic British red double-decker bus to learn more about our quaint sea-side town or venture across the bridge to discover the beaches of Atlantic Beach, and the waterfront of Morehead City (and our fave restaurant The Ruddy Duck!) and historic Fort Macon.

Secret Garden

I will admit I felt awkward walking down the driveway into the backyard, but once I got past that feeling my stay was lovely (and as an added bonus I got to pet the cat and dogs). It is a great neighborhood and location to walk around.

Quaint cottage

Darling cottage nestled in garden behind the main house is an accurate description. Nicely appointed. Owners are on site, so communications is easy. Only drawback is parking. You have to park on a side street a block away. But the location relative to downtown is great.

Very Relaxing....

We had a great visit. The cottage was very cute and very comfortable. Lots of books and magazines. We were able to easily walk to everything, but really enjoyed using the bikes -- a lot of fun riding around! We liked sitting in the garden and meeting the family pets! We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Can't wait to come back!

How quaint

This property was exactly as listed, and the small cottage was equipped with all we needed for our stay. Stacie and Phil provided special treats to help celebrate our honeymoon. The community is quiet, and the people in town were very welcoming. We can't wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Stacie

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to Beaufort after 30 plus years living in the Hamptons. We were looking for a slower pace of life and fell in love with the area. We bought our historic home with guest cottage as well as several other pieces of property in the area. We love our 2 dogs and rescue cats and enjoy leisurely strolls up to Front Street to catch glimpses of the wild horses grazing and the dolphin frolicking in the water.

Why they chose this property

We love our neighborhood and the quiet, friendly neighbors. Porch life is a southern tradition which we have fallen in love with! The large, fenced in back yard is perfect for our pets and has been fun to landscape with shade and sun loving plants. Our raised vegie gardens are a new addition and we encourage guests to help themselves to fresh basil, parsley and our tomatoes when ripe.

What makes this property unique

We are 1.5 blocks from the water! To the left is a community dock with easy access to the water. To the right is the bustle of Front Street shops and restaurants. If you are lucky, wild horses will be grazing early mornings or just before dark... often pods of dolphin swim along the shoreline as well.
