If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway, then Shell Cottage in Beaufort, NC is for you! Beautiful little cottage, perfect for a couple and their fur baby (dog). A short walk to charming downtown Beaufort, which has plenty of restaurants and shops. We've stayed here multiple times, as well as in adjoining Lighthouse cottage. It's the perfect stay and location for a quiet getaway!

As described but cleaner and with a good sense of "new" to it. Comfortable bed (on the soft-but-supportive side of comfortable), hosts very responsive and even called me midday the day after check-in to be sure everything was OK, great location (farmers/craft market every Saturday right across the street but far enough away that you can't hear it). Very nice, would definitely stay there again if coming to this area.
