The Windsor was a wonderful stay. We loved the idea of staying in a historic home in a historic town. The house is charming and with-in walking distance to shops and great food! It was only a 15-20 minute drive to the beaches. Jess is a wonderful host and it was easy communicating with her. I would highly recommend this location! We plan on returning!

We loved this little home. It had everything we needed and the location was amazing. A few blocks away from the main “drag” with great restaurants and beautiful views of the water. We enjoyed the slower pace that Beaufort offered and the history was fantastic!

About the host

Hosted by Jess Angel

Host profile image
I'm Jess... wife, mom, business owner, website developer, wine connoisseur (self proclaimed), photographer and traveler! I love to meet new people, see new places, stay in unique hotels/inns/homes and learn about different ways of life. This world has so much diversity; it would be a disservice to not experience as much as possible. I live for the experiences in life and wish to provide experiences to others as well.
I love hosting guests. There is nothing better than to be able to provide a safe, comfortable and fun place for people with the same interest in travel. I couldn't be more passionate about opening our doors, and piece of history, to everyone.
"Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

Why they chose this property

Beaufort has become our favorite place on the planet. We love the salt air, beautiful streets, friendly people, food... the list goes on and on. The Windsor House is what locals described as "cute as a button". It offers everything you need for a comfortable stay and the location is absolutely perfect. We can walk to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. Anything and everything is just a short trip... Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and all the Crystal Coast has to offer. All the neighbors, locals and visitors, greet you with a smile. The cottage was built in 1886, with hardwood floors and that old world charm, but modern conveniences have been added to make life at the Windsor House just about perfect.

What makes this property unique

The front porch has a swing and rocking chairs, perfect for evenings of unwinding while sipping a drink and taking in the beauty and breezes. You can walk to the waterfront in 5 minutes. The 140 year old house was built by a Fishing Captain in the historic district of Beaufort.
