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.

Nice cozy cottage - just what we were looking for. The courthouse is just across the street with a nice park and farmer’s market on Saturday so it was easy to take our dog out for a walk. There are a couple of coffee shops within two blocks towards town and great for breakfast. We love Beaufort and this is our third trip to town she loves all the nice shops and he really enjoys the history. Quiet and peaceful.
Our little one liked looking out the front door and loved the park across the street!

The Shell Cottage

The Shell Cottage is in a perfect location. It is convenient for walking to restaurants and stores. It is off the street and that allows some privacy. The bikes are an added bonus.

Beautiful Shell Cottage

The Shell Cottage had everything we needed for our short but sweet stay in beautiful historic Beaufort, NC. It was clean and welcoming, beautifully decorated and in the best location. My husband and I both agreed, we could easily live there! Perhaps we'll stay longer next time...

Music Festival Getaway

My husband and I stayed at the Shell Cottage while attending the Beaufort Music Festival. The cottage was in the perfect location for us to ride our bikes and/or walk back and forth to the festival!!! We also really enjoyed the quick walk to Front Street shops. We will definitely stay at the Shell Cottage again.

Love theses cottages

We have stayed there many times over the last 20 years. Always clean this time we stay in the cabin that takes dogs. We have never stayed in this one before. It was very nice on the inside. Everything was clean. We like because we can walk to downtown.

This is tge third time we've stayed at this cottage and every time is as good as the last! We love the location - the waterfront with shopping and restaurants is only 3 short blocks away. And the area around the cottage is very quiet at night. Love it!

great place - super location!

This unit was smaller but had more than enough room for two comfortably. Well stocked and comfy. We loved the location (two blocks from the water) and the farmers market across the street on Saturday was an unexpected surprise. Owners were easily contacted and offered great suggestions for dining and sights to see. We will be back here again!
