This home is an original cottage from the 1940s with recent renovations. It is a short walk to the Downtown waterfront along the edge of Taylor’s Creek. A short walk away is Fisherman’s Park, where you can launch your kayak for a leisurely paddle down the waterfront.
The home has hardwood floors, arched doorways, a screened porch, and back deck which opens into a mature, private back yard. The kitchen is bright, modern, and fully equipped, including new stainless appliances and a conveniently located washer and dryer. The screened porch is a wonderful place to start your day with a cup of coffee, watching the neighborhood come to life. The back deck is a peaceful space for watching the birds or grilling out with family and friends.
The primary suite is spacious and includes a half bath, while the rest of the home has access to a new full bath.
The home is equipped with high speed Wi-fi, GoogleTV, and can meet all your needs, from working remotely to turning it off and experiencing the relaxing small-town coastal life.

The Gray Whale Cottage is lovely! The home was exceptionally clean and well maintained while also providing a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Check-in and check-out procedures were quite easy. The location of the property is not far from restaurants and shops, perhaps a 15 minute walk along Front St. and through the beautiful and charming streets. Everywhere we went, people were friendly and welcoming. The Gray Whale Cottage and Beaufort in general are lovely places to stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the great whale cottage! Location right on front street, so we were able to walk either way and have great nature views. The place was very clean. We had a small issue come up with the dishwasher, and they got someone out right away to fix it. Great communication. Thank you!

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disappointing for sure
The place was clean and nicely remodeled, but 2 out of 3 TV’s didn’t work - only in MB. Big bugs in kitchen and on us in the master bedroom at night.. not good. No curtains on the street side windows? Location For the price and issues mentioned I would have expected better. Beaufort and the adventurous activities are great. We will come back just not sure it will be in this rental. No happy.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2024
While we appreciate all feedback, we feel it necessary to respond. We are happy you found the property clean, nicely remodeled and the area activities enjoyable! We asked to go to the property to check the remotes and you said no, you didn't want us there during your stay. We did check the remotes after you departed and the volumes were turned down- there was no issue with the tv's nor the remotes- it's what we deem user error. This home sits in a beautiful coastal environment of North Carolina. Our wet and humid environment can result in some bugs from time to time. This applies to every home, hotel, or business, not just ours. Rest assured, we are on a scheduled pest control maintenance program and our home is professionally cleaned after each guest to ensure top sanitary conditions. In spite of this, we do have the occasional bug break-in. Curtains and blinds are a personal choice by the owners and the property is as pictured. We want all of our guests to enjoy their stay and leave happy, that is why we are always available to rectify any issue or concern, but we can only do that if you allow us to.
