Located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and adjacent to the oldest home in Beaufort (c. 1700)—where Blackbeard the pirate reportedly briefly resided—our peaceful family home features four bedrooms, two full baths, a enormous, modern kitchen, and plenty of common space (including a living room with generous seating, front porch with swing, back screened porch with couches, and an ample back yard patio) to host up to eight guests. We're just a block from the water and a ten-min. walk to downtown, the ideal spot for a peaceful visit to one of the most interesting, gorgeous, and unique coastal towns in the South, the jewel of the Crystal Coast. Come visit us in Blackbeard's backyard!

We provide guests with a unique code for unrestricted, twenty-four hour entry to the home. You'll have the entire property to yourselves and total privacy.

Although we visit Beaufort as often as we're able, we live a few hours away in Chapel Hill. Please message us with any questions, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please carefully read our home manual and broad local guidebook, both available here upon booking, for details, rules, and recommendations for local activities, exploration and recreation, and dining.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
