"This property had a wonderful view to the ocean and very short walk to the beach. This was a plus for my family. The host was always available via phone for any questions. The manager, Roy, was very helpful and very responsive. The pool and hot tub was a welcoming advanage. The house was clean and equipped with kitchen supplies needed. The elevator was a big plus as there were 4 floors to the home. I would recommend this home."

Its main street, Front Street, runs along Taylor's Creek and is lined with shops, restaurants, and boat tour operators. The North Carolina Maritime Museum is also located here, providing insights into the area's seafaring history.For couples, Beaufort provides a relaxed and romantic setting.
