TOP 5% rated, Nautical-themed Beaufort Bungalow near Downtown Beautiful Gardens
This home is in the top 5% for ratings, reviews, and reliability. (May 2024)
This private 544 sq ft nautical-themed bungalow features one large room with an open sleeping loft (the 2nd bedroom) overlooking the main floor.
Downstairs is furnished with two rockers, a sofa, a comfortable queen-size Murphy bed, a TV, and a dining table.
The loft has a full bed & twin bed. The kitchenette has basics but not equipped for cooking meals (microwave, Kuerig, small toaster over, small fridge).
Sleeping for 4-5. Ideally 2 adults and 3 kids or 4 adults. Off-street parking & room for a boat trailer with prior permission. No Pets or Smoking
A unique home away from home, this recently constructed bungalow is equipped to make your stay in Beaufort fun and comfortable. There is plenty of outdoor seating and lovely gardens to enjoy.
The location is ideal—just off Front Street and Taylors Creek. A pleasant waterfront walk/bike ride will take you downtown and its many shops and restaurants. Meander along the boardwalk, see boats from near and far and enjoy local flavors at many waterfront restaurants.
If you have bikes, kayaks, or your own boat, bring them...Beaufort is a bike, kayak, and boating-friendly town with convenient bike racks and public water access. If you'd rather, you can rent bikes, kayaks, and even golf cars nearby.
Public tennis/pickleball courts, an outdoor community basketball court, and a KID'S SPLASH PAD are also within easy walking distance.
There is ample off-street parking for your car and boat (but please contact the owner in advance if bringing a boat)
There's a lot to do in Beaufort.
- Take a ferry to Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout lighthouse to enjoy the beach and waves.
- Rent kayaks or take a kayak tour.
- There are many tours--something for everyone-- a foodie, a ghost tour, a historic graveyard tour (fascinating).
- Guided bike tours.
- Visit NC Maritime Museum downtown.
- Drive to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.
- During the summer months, there is live music downtown.
- Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon State Park and the NC Aquarium are a short drive.
- Deep-Sea Charter Fishing is available nearby.

Hosted by Clara Inscoe
Dave and Clara live in the primary residence on the property. Clara was born and raised in the home. Dave is a retired Air Force pilot and retired executive from an electric utility.
Why they chose this property
Clara was born and raised here and provides a unique perspective on how life was here when she was a child. Her Grandfather and father were in the Coast Guard, and her Grandfather was a lighthouse keeper at the Cape Lookout lighthouse in the early 1900s.
She and Dave love to meet our guests and answer questions about the area and our hometown. We especially love to meet children and help them explore the gardens and fish pond.
This is a special home away from home. It was recently constructed and is equipped to make your stay in Beaufort fun and comfortable. There is plenty of outdoor seating and lovely gardens to enjoy.
The location is ideal - Just off Front Street and Taylors Creek. And a pleasant waterfront walk/bike ride will take you downtown and its many shops and restaurants. If you have bikes, kayaks, or your own boat, bring them...Beaufort is a bike, kayak, and boating-friendly town with convenient bike racks and public water access. If you'd rather, you can rent bikes, kayaks, and even golf carts nearby. Public tennis/pickleball courts, an outdoor community basketball court, a playground, and a Splash Pad are within easy walking distance. The Splash pad is a real hit for the kids
There is ample off-street parking for your car and boat (but please get in touch with the owner in advance if bringing a boat)
There's a lot to do in Beaufort. Take a ferry to Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout lighthouse to enjoy the beach and waves. Rent kayaks or take a kayak tour.
- There are many tours--something for everyone-- a foodie, a ghost tour, a historic graveyard tour (fascinating) Guided bike tours.
- Visit the NC Maritime Museum downtown.
- Drive to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.
- During the summer months, there is live music downtown.
- Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon State Park, and the NC Aquarium are a short drive.
- Deep-Sea Charter Fishing is available nearby.
