Our family grew up on the Crystal Coast and after living in Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, Emerald Isle and Swansboro we found Olde Towne Yacht Club in Beaufort and fell in love. Its simply a very special place with the best views we have ever seen. Our primary residence is now in Asheville NC so this condo serves as our seasonal second home away from home.

Harry Redfearn purchased this condo in 2007
