From start to finish we loved our stay at The Tilghman House! Quaint, cozy, mid-century flare, topped with an amazing view of the Newport River and a fantastic pier. We fished, paddled, swam, sunset gazed, bird watched, and followed the hermit crabs on the sandy bottom of the river shoreline. The amenities were perfect for our family and the beds were so comfy for a good nights rest! Perfect amount of privacy to wind down from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Beaufort waterfront and beaches to do all the things. Recs: Eat lunch in the shade at Dock House on the gorgeous waterfront and take a trip on Island Express Ferry to enjoy the beaches and wild ponies at Shackleford Banks. Great getaway!
