Located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and adjacent to the oldest home in Beaufort (c. 1700)—where Blackbeard the pirate reportedly briefly resided—our calming family home features four bedrooms, two full baths, a huge, modern kitchen, and plenty of common space (including a living room with generous seating, front porch with swing, back screened porch with couches, and an ample back yard patio) to host up to eight guests. We're just a block from the water and a ten-min. walk to downtown, the ideal spot for a peaceful visit to one of the most interesting, handsome, and unique coastal towns in the South, the jewel of the Crystal Coast. Come visit us in Blackbeard's backyard!

We provide guests with a unique code for unrestricted, twenty-four hour entry to the home. You'll have the entire property to yourselves and total privacy.

Although we visit Beaufort as often as we're able, we live a few hours away in Chapel Hill. Please message us with any questions, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please carefully read our home manual and broad local guidebook, both available here upon booking, for details, rules, and recommendations for local activities, exploration and recreation, and dining.

Tricks and tips to get the best Crystal Coast rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
