Lovely cottage near the waterfront

We had a lovely stay at the Historic Corner Cottage. Jess has done an amazing job decorating this sweet place. And the front porch was a lovely respite for coffee in the morning. It is so convenient to everything on the waterfront - we walked everywhere! The neighborhood was quiet and everyone walking by when we were on the porch was so friendly. Always grateful for a pet friendly option, too. Highly recommend.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage (house) is set in a perfect location, 2 blocks from Beaufort"s wonderful water front. Plenty of parking, a kitchen that has everything one could possible need, outdoor shower if you want a wonderful experience. And I liked the fact that the host was available if we had any questions and sent us a nice welcoming email. Would definitely stay again.

Comfort and convenience!

House is well equipped and comfortable! Mattresses were great, house was clean, and kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the convenient location and the front porch swing! I only marked down listing accuracy by one star because it says spa/hot tub and there isn’t one. Probably just a vrbo error. We hope to stay here again!

First Stay in Beaufort

This was our first stay in Beaufort and we absolutely loved it. The house is in an ideal location, has plenty of room, is a charming piece of history and has a wonderful front porch to relax on. We were able to walk all over town to dinner, an evening cruise, shopping, etc. We enjoyed several long walks through the postcard like streets of Beaufort (such amazing homes). The Beaufort waterfront has so much to offer and we took advantage of it each day. We can't wait to return.

Great Home

We were in the area visiting our son who is with the USCG at Fort Macon. I did not want to stay in Atlantic Beach or Moorehead City and fell in love with Beaufort during a visit in February. The location is perfect. It's two blocks to the water front and it's easy to get on the road to Morehead City. The area is a relaxed slow paced place surrounded by historical homes. The beds were perfect and the linens were top notch. I'm a bed snob. I highly recommend the home if a relaxed environment is what you are looking for.

Wedding Weekend

From the very beginning of our stay until the last minute this place was perfect. The location couldn't have been better if you want to hang out downtown. You can walk anywhere and it was close. The inside had everything you needed for a family of 5. Jessica answered us so fast if we had any questions. I loved renting a golf cart and having running the backroads as well.

A sweet cottage in a charming historic waterfront town

This lovely cottage was perfect for our stay. Although a smaller home, there was plenty of room for the 4 of us to comfortably enjoy our time there. The owner is fantastic & very responsive. The house has had updates that make it even more inviting, comfortable and aesthetically interesting. The location was very nice-2 blocks from the waterfront & shops. It is also not far from a gorgeously moody historical walled cemetery that is shaded by singing cicada filled live oaks that were just dripping with lacy fern fronds. The porch sitting was on point in the provided rocking chairs and porch swing. I wish we could have stayed longer in this little gem of a house! We plan to return again next season.

Oct. 2020.

We had a nice stay for three nights. The owner did respond to a couple of issues we had. Those were not a reflection of the house or the owner. Housekeeping left our clean towels in an unfolded pile on the dining room table. And when we were going to wash some of our own clothes, the washing machine was full of wet towels and sheets that were washed but left in the washer. Also, the cushions on the rocking chairs on the porch had LOTS of dog hair on them. That was our only experience we were unhappy with. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Charming cottage, fantastic location!

We had a wonderful trip to Beaufort and were very pleased with the property, especially it's convenient location to the restaurants and shops on Front Street. The house description that was posted was accurate and we found we had everything we needed, included soaps, cleaning and paper products, salt/pepper and even coffee grounds. We were very pleased with the comfort of the bed in the Master and our kids were comfortable in the other bedrooms. We did have an issue at checkin that required a call to the homeowner to get the cleaning crew to come out. Jess immediately answered the phone and had the cleaning crew out within 10 minutes to address our concern. We were pleased to have off-the-street parking for our car our 2 boys enjoyed playing in the small side-yard area. Although we do not have pets, this property would be perfect for your furry friend. As mentioned in other reviews, this is a historic property built in 1886 so the floors are uneven, which can take a minute to get used to but we did not find it to be a hinderance. We would definitely stay at this property again!
