About the host
Hosted by Amanda Robinson
I grew up in this area. I moved away after school with a career in Virginia. We have family here located all over eastern North Carolina. We came here permanently as our youngest started high school. I came full circle back to my roots and feel blessed to be here! We own a charter boat business, "Carolina Blonde," and other boats for fun! We love to fish and explore, play golf and tennis, and take long walks down Front Street! This condo was a labor of love. I want my family, friends, and guests to embrace Beaufort and all it has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Beaufort is a village! A state of mind! I love the historic homes, which are rich in history! I love that we can walk, ride a bike, and take our boat to dinner! Now we have so many more wonderful options than when I was growing up here—fine dining to fast food. Art galleries and shopping, we’ve got it all! Every day is different on the water. The birds sing at night! I find that magical! But I love the local vibe and our wonderful neighbors. Progress is here, but it is still our small town, Mayberry! Enjoy a walk. It’s Beaufort… Take a story home with you!
