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.

Great weekend getaway at the beach

Cute little bungalow in a great location near downtown Beaufort. Part of the city including our property lost power my first night in town and Dave was very helpful in providing flash lights and making sure I was settled, which seems emblematic of how they are as hosts. There were a lot of resources provided and Dave and Clara seem genuinely interested in Helping you enjoy their longtime home city. I would love to stay again in the future!

The Bungalow was perfect for our weekend getaway

It’s close enough to enjoy all the restaurants and shopping downtown has to offer, yet tucked away in a beautifully maintained garden that feels peaceful and secluded. The shade from the old, outstretched live oak branches created such a relaxing atmosphere.You can tell the hosts are truly passionate about providing a great experience. So many thoughtful details were taken care of, allowing our family to simply unwind and enjoy. And really—isn’t that what it’s all about?

Great Property

We loved Beaufort and this is the perfect property to explore from. A great oasis close to everything but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Bungalow is clean, well maintained and has everything you need. We hope to visit again, we would consider for a longer stay if only it had a full kitchen! Thank you Dave and Clara

About the host

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.
