About this bed and breakfast
Enjoy the charming atmosphere of this one-bedroom carriage house nestled on the prettiest street in Beaufort. This cozy apartment is a separate structure on the property of the historic John Rumley House, circa 1854. Sit on the patio under the canopy of a pecan tree, meander past the beautifully restored pre-revolutionary and antebellum homes, or take a short stroll to the waterfront. No need for a car as this location is within a leisurely walk to all areas in downtown Beaufort. This includes the ferries that will take you to Carrot Island, Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout. No need to bother with downtown parking meters.
Inside the house there is an open living-kitchen area with one bedroom and a full bathroom. There are no stairs to navigate on this property, and beautiful tile floors make for easy transitions.
The master has a queen-size bed with exquisite all cotton bedding and ample dresser and closet space. A full bath comes complete with all cotton towels and and assortment of toiletries for your convenience. A full-size pull-out, in the living area, can accommodate one or two more guests.
A fully stocked kitchen will enable easy meal times or, if you rather, refer to the guest information book to choose a restaurant downtown. If you like to grill, there are several, including a smoker, at your disposal. An outside patio with chairs, umbrella, and cafe lights set the scene for your outdoor enjoyment.
Both on and off street parking is available.
Beach chairs can be made available for use.

This property was very nice and clean. We enjoyed the outdoors also with all the cooking grills and all the lawn furniture ,the sun and the shade and it was very nice indoors with the huge sliding glass doors. It made the room feel larger than it actually was ,it was a learning experience also ,someone had the heat on so I had to learn to use the digital thermostat ,but it worked well after we figured it out ,lol lol ,will stay again ,also was a quiet ,peaceful neighborhood !

Jim was an excellent host and allowed me to check-in a little early. I love Beaufort, NC and so the location was super convenient for walking around Beaufort. The guest house itself is ideal for single people or couples and the interior design screams coastal living! I would recommend this rental to anyone and plan to stay again next time I’m in the area.

Cottage was adorable, clean & had all the necessities; dishware, cups, silverware, pots & pans, Keurig, clean sheets & bedding. Bed was very comfortable. Plenty of towels. Side by side Refrigerator, clean modern bathroom. Air Conditioning. The grounds the cottage is on is beautifully manicured. We had a patio right off the sliding glass door with a table & 4 chairs & brand new umbrella. Grills were also on site.Free on street parking;( it’s pay to park at waterfront area), 10 minute walk to the boardwalk in Beaufort with the gorgeous water front and all the restaurants, shops, cruise’s & historic cites you could want to explore. All that at a reasonable price for all that you get. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

The guesthouse was clean, well-stocked, and walkable to the sweet downtown waterfront. The waterfront is about five blocks long and one block deep with amazing restaurants and food options. The grocery store is a quick drive away. The owners are very responsive. The towels are thick and soft. The bed was not very comfortable for us. With everything else so perfect, that stuck out, so I scored our stay a 4, but that would not stop us from returning. We did wish the outside patio had an umbrella or some type of shade when sitting on the patio.

Lovely cottage just a block back from the waterfront in Beaufort; the kitchen is nicely stocked and the patio is perfect for morning coffee (although it's also an easy walk to good coffee shops).

The property is conveniently located in the heart of Beaufort, within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the waterfront. There is ample street parking. The unit was very clean, and it is larger in person than the photos represent. We had a very comfortable stay and would stay there again!

This apartment was as lovely as the photos on-line showed. It was spacious, bright with light from windows and colorful, comfortable couch and chairs. the bedroom and bed were perfect, attractive and a fine sleep, with an ceiling fan too. The kitchen was well stocked with an open floor plan to move around in. Everything I needed or wanted I found in the kitchen.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to everything in town. Suitable for long or short term stay.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the weather was perfect but would be content to “stay in” and relax as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent place to stay in Beaufort.
The guest house is in a very nice part of Beaufort and it is a 10 minute walk to the heart of the town. The walk to town is easy, typically one side of the street is shaded, and nearly every house from there to town has character and a historic marker.
The house was clean and comfortable. Our hosts left a nice basket of snacks for us. The bed was firm and nice. The den area with the TV was great for 2 of us. It could be a little tight for 2 couples (fold out couch), but if you're good friends, it's easily doable.
This was our first VRBO and it was an excellent experience.

Rained out mini vacation
We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for the snacks. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, was the bed was too firm for us. Thanks again.

Great vacation
This location is quiet and comfy with just a short walk to the water, coffee shop, and restaurants. The welcome "treats" from the host made our day (on multiple days)! The door key could have been easier to use and the shower could be improved but overall clean, comfortable and cool - would stay here again!

Quaint little cottage
Our stay in Beaufort was wonderful. Our accommodations were cozy, comfortable and met all our needs and more. The owner, Jim was very hospitable and always replied to answer any questions.
Beaufort is a lovely little town and the cottage is within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. The Maritime museum downtown is filled with information with hands on displays which is great for children.
We hope to visit again and highly recommend this sweet cottage.

Great location with all the touches of home!
We were only in town for a couple of days, but this cottage was in the perfect location - walking to distance to everything! It was cozy and felt just like home —even had Netflix! Would definitely stay there again.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The guest house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the bathroom was a good size with soft new towels. The only thing I would recommend is fixing the lock on the sliding glass door. Its difficult to lock and locks the wrong way. Not a problem once you get used to it, but a bit tricky.

Best find in Beaufort
We were married in Beaufort 13 years ago and have stayed in various locations there there many times. This property is ideal in every way - centrally located, well appointed, reasonably priced, private and the owner provides excellent service. Can’t say enough good things about it. Highly suggest taking the option to rent the upstairs unit in combination with downstairs if you have more than 2-3 people. It allows for two separate living quarters which are naturally connected but still create a comfortable separation. Plus, the owner is an audiophile and the upstairs has a legitimate home theater system. Going forward this is the only place we will stay in Beaufort.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful place. Peaceful. Very quite.
Perfect for a safe place to stay for some peaceful rest. Very comfortable. Beautiful yard. Owners are very kind and hospitable. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.
