Wonderful stay

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!

Lovely cottage for a week at the beach. The space was well laid out with cute beach themed decor. The dining room was great for lunches and board games between our adventures. The location was fantastic. We walked to the ferry for the beach and downtown for dinner every day. Jess was super responsive and checked in regularly to make sure we needed anything.

Fantastic location and very cute older home

The location is perfect and convenient to everything. Just a short little walk to all the places you want to go. We really enjoyed staying here. The home has all the amenities that you need and well stocked. It is an historic home so it is a little dated however, that is what we were looking for. Definitely would stay again! Owner is very attentive and stays in contact to make sure you are in need of nothing. Thank you!

Lovely cottage near the waterfront

We had a lovely stay at the Historic Corner Cottage. Jess has done an amazing job decorating this sweet place. And the front porch was a lovely respite for coffee in the morning. It is so convenient to everything on the waterfront - we walked everywhere! The neighborhood was quiet and everyone walking by when we were on the porch was so friendly. Always grateful for a pet friendly option, too. Highly recommend.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage (house) is set in a perfect location, 2 blocks from Beaufort"s wonderful water front. Plenty of parking, a kitchen that has everything one could possible need, outdoor shower if you want a wonderful experience. And I liked the fact that the host was available if we had any questions and sent us a nice welcoming email. Would definitely stay again.

It was very nice as advertised - lots of sleeping and eating space. Being able to walk to the ferries was super convenient. My daughter loved the bunk beds. Property owner went out of her way to answer my questions about local beaches, etc! Would definitely recommend this property.

Comfort and convenience!

House is well equipped and comfortable! Mattresses were great, house was clean, and kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the convenient location and the front porch swing! I only marked down listing accuracy by one star because it says spa/hot tub and there isn’t one. Probably just a vrbo error. We hope to stay here again!

First Stay in Beaufort

This was our first stay in Beaufort and we absolutely loved it. The house is in an ideal location, has plenty of room, is a charming piece of history and has a wonderful front porch to relax on. We were able to walk all over town to dinner, an evening cruise, shopping, etc. We enjoyed several long walks through the postcard like streets of Beaufort (such amazing homes). The Beaufort waterfront has so much to offer and we took advantage of it each day. We can't wait to return.

Great Home

We were in the area visiting our son who is with the USCG at Fort Macon. I did not want to stay in Atlantic Beach or Moorehead City and fell in love with Beaufort during a visit in February. The location is perfect. It's two blocks to the water front and it's easy to get on the road to Morehead City. The area is a relaxed slow paced place surrounded by historical homes. The beds were perfect and the linens were top notch. I'm a bed snob. I highly recommend the home if a relaxed environment is what you are looking for.

A sweet cottage in a charming historic waterfront town

This lovely cottage was perfect for our stay. Although a smaller home, there was plenty of room for the 4 of us to comfortably enjoy our time there. The owner is fantastic & very responsive. The house has had updates that make it even more inviting, comfortable and aesthetically interesting. The location was very nice-2 blocks from the waterfront & shops. It is also not far from a gorgeously moody historical walled cemetery that is shaded by singing cicada filled live oaks that were just dripping with lacy fern fronds. The porch sitting was on point in the provided rocking chairs and porch swing. I wish we could have stayed longer in this little gem of a house! We plan to return again next season.

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.

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.
