About this property

Darling Cottage Nestled In Our Garden!

Enjoy all that Beaufort has to offer from the comfort of our charmingly decorated antique filled one bedroom, one bath guest cottage nestled in our garden. Featuring an open living room with new flat screen tv, wi-fi and brand new comfy sleeper-sofa. And if you love to read (like we do!! ) bookcases filled with books & cookbooks, adjoins a fully equipt open kitchen with 2 fridges, oven, and gourmet amenities such as microwave, 2 coffee machines, coffee/coffee grinder,selection of teas and teapot,antique dining room table with 4 chairs and set with attractive tabletop items. Large bedroom with comfy queen bed with a coastal decorated full bath with shower and roomy closet, gorgeous shell encrusted mirror and Annie Sloan painted cabinet. Bedroom has brand new MATOUK bedding and cotton bedding. An antique dresser with scented drawer liners, large walk-in closet with tons of room and washer-dryer. Beach baskets, towels and toys are stored in this closet for guests to enjoy!

Our backyard and garden is perfect for you to enjoy your morning coffee, tea or espresso under our market umbrella and outdoor dining table furnished with comfy cushions. Grill your fresh catch on the BBQ! Newly built large Outdoor Shower and deck with private entrance to cottage. Fully stocked with bath products, shampoo, etc. Great for after the beach or boating!

PARKING on our cross streets - Anne or Broad Street, jus 3 doors down on either side of us, though guests may unload in our driveway.

We are 1 1/2 blocks from Front Street where you can often see some of the wild horses grazing besides the shoreline of Carrot Island. It's an enjoyable short walk into downtown Beaufort with its numerous fine restaurants, museums, art galleries, sightseeing adventures and shops. Take a ride on Beaufort's historic British red double-decker bus to learn more about our quaint sea-side town or venture across the bridge to discover the beaches of Atlantic Beach, and the waterfront of Morehead City (and our fave restaurant The Ruddy Duck!) and historic Fort Macon.

Cottage near downtown Beaufort

Very convenient and walkable to downtown Beaufort. Quaint cottage, access not too easy on gravel drive with boats and cars blocking the way. Shower is European style-ie very tight. Overall convenience and ability to have our old dog with us a plus.Parking a pain on side streets so a block or two away.

Very Relaxing....

We had a great visit. The cottage was very cute and very comfortable. Lots of books and magazines. We were able to easily walk to everything, but really enjoyed using the bikes -- a lot of fun riding around! We liked sitting in the garden and meeting the family pets! We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Can't wait to come back!

:Perfect Beaufort Bungalow

This quaint little cottage is located in Downtown Beaufort. It's close enough to have everything you need in walking distance, yet secluded enough to be quiet. One bedroom, one bath, a small kitchen and living area - it's all you need. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens and even includes a delightful outdoor shower. We'd recommend this little gem and stay here again.

Cute and cozy cottage

I really enjoyed my stay! The cottage is cute and cozy. There was plenty of room, and the hosts included many nice amenities. The location is great — a pleasant walk or bike ride to downtown. The outdoor area is beautiful. I enjoyed looking at the flowers. The hosts were helpful, and I could tell that they really make an effort to make you feel at home. Overall it was a great experience.

Had a lovely weekend in Beaufort. The hosts were very welcoming and opened their cottage to my pup and me. The cottage was lovely but I had to deduct a star for the inhospitable garden. I was looking forward to spending time in the garden, but it was so overgrown and with standing water in a few vessels. I tried bug spray, but it was no match and I came home with bites everywhere! Nothing a little landscaping couldn’t fix!

We really needed a break. Beaufort, NC is the town and this cottage is the place. The hosts are great and the cottage is hidden from the world in the hosts backyard. Nestled in their garden is this gem. Everything you cloud want has been anticipated. The location is central to all of Beaufort. We would definitely stay again.

Great Stay. Friendly host. Very dog friendly. Walking distance to downtown, breakfast and other locations. Very well appointed with lots of amenities and little extras. We will definitely be back. One side note that has nothing to do with the host - Beaufort is currently doing major street work and parking can be two blocks away so check with host and/or plan accordingly. But we had a great time.

A Gem

Optimal location for walking everywhere in town. Parking is not great but that's Beaufort's fault, not the hosts- they're currently tearing up the roads. Photos don't do the lovely garden or the cute cottage justice. Hosts are kind. A quiet quaint NC coastal town...I love my state! Would certainly return.

NO WATER

When we arrived the drive had a boat,golf cart and car in drive leaving enough space for small car, we had a pick up. Hung over sidewalk by at least 18”. No street parking on Live Oak. Door not locked as there is only one key. And no running water. Host would only answer on VROB txt as in TX in a field??? She said we would have water by 2pm and finally around 3:30pm she said her husband just told her he forgot to pay water bill. Luckily my husband walked out front at 5pm when water company was there because of parking situation the truck was on the water meter. My husband left her his final message on VM/phone at 4:40pm that we were going to need to get someplace with water and her response was fine go to a hotel! No offer to reimburse. Not a good experience for our son’s wedding weekend following evacuation from St Pete FL and Milton. Very frustrating!

Quaint cottage

Darling cottage nestled in garden behind the main house is an accurate description. Nicely appointed. Owners are on site, so communications is easy. Only drawback is parking. You have to park on a side street a block away. But the location relative to downtown is great.

About the host

Hosted by Stacie

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to Beaufort after 30 plus years living in the Hamptons. We were looking for a slower pace of life and fell in love with the area. We bought our historic home with guest cottage as well as several other pieces of property in the area. We love our 2 dogs and rescue cats and enjoy leisurely strolls up to Front Street to catch glimpses of the wild horses grazing and the dolphin frolicking in the water.

Why they chose this property

We love our neighborhood and the quiet, friendly neighbors. Porch life is a southern tradition which we have fallen in love with! The large, fenced in back yard is perfect for our pets and has been fun to landscape with shade and sun loving plants. Our raised vegie gardens are a new addition and we encourage guests to help themselves to fresh basil, parsley and our tomatoes when ripe.

What makes this property unique

We are 1.5 blocks from the water! To the left is a community dock with easy access to the water. To the right is the bustle of Front Street shops and restaurants. If you are lucky, wild horses will be grazing early mornings or just before dark... often pods of dolphin swim along the shoreline as well.
