Nice cozy cottage - just what we were looking for. The courthouse is just across the street with a nice park and farmer’s market on Saturday so it was easy to take our dog out for a walk. There are a couple of coffee shops within two blocks towards town and great for breakfast. We love Beaufort and this is our third trip to town she loves all the nice shops and he really enjoys the history. Quiet and peaceful.
Our little one liked looking out the front door and loved the park across the street!

This cottage was just perfect! Traveling alone (had recently lost my husband) and I needed some away time to try and ground myself. I had communicated with the owner prior to booking, and Robin was incredible! She promptly emailed me local favorite restaurants and others, things to do, places to see…I felt very safe in the neighborhood which was a convenient 2 blocks from Front Street(where most all of the shops and eateries are located). This cottage is well equipped and plenty roomy enough for a couple. I want to return! Beaufort offered such peace and the entire community was so friendly!

Just perfect

We absolutely loved our stay at Shell and are looking forward to our return next year. The location was just perfect and with all of the surrounding food, shopping and sites, we could walk everywhere and enjoy. The cottage was clean, the bed fantastic and Robin was so nice to work with. Thanks for making it a great one

We have stayed there many times over the last 20 years. Always clean this time we stay in the cabin that takes dogs. We have never stayed in this one before. It was very nice on the inside. Everything was clean. We like because we can walk to downtown.

Comfortable little cottage within walking distance to everything Beaufort has to offer. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill and patio area and the bikes to cruz around town. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in town.

The Shell Cottage is in a perfect location. It is convenient for walking to restaurants and stores. It is off the street and that allows some privacy. The bikes are an added bonus.

Clean, Cozy, and Convenient

Shell Cottage was perfect for me and my dog! It was clean, cozy, and conveniently close to the waterfront. The neighborhood was peaceful and charming, making our morning and evening walks a delight. I loved exploring the nearby coffee shops and restaurants, and I even discovered some fantastic spots for photographing birds, including a small cove on Town Creek visited by a Great Egret. I’ll definitely be back!
