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

Music Festival Getaway

My husband and I stayed at the Shell Cottage while attending the Beaufort Music Festival. The cottage was in the perfect location for us to ride our bikes and/or walk back and forth to the festival!!! We also really enjoyed the quick walk to Front Street shops. We will definitely stay at the Shell Cottage again.

great place - super location!

This unit was smaller but had more than enough room for two comfortably. Well stocked and comfy. We loved the location (two blocks from the water) and the farmers market across the street on Saturday was an unexpected surprise. Owners were easily contacted and offered great suggestions for dining and sights to see. We will be back here again!

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!

Beaufort "Shell House"

House was compact, clean and fully equipped for preparing meals. While it has a convertible sofa in addition to the queen size bed, we found it perfectly suited for a couple. Well-located for walking to any of the waterfront shops and restaurants, and tucked back from the street, making it quiet and private. There is a pleasant outdoor shared space with the cottage next door, complete with grill and tables.

Easy walk to historic downtown

We had a very nice weekend in this cottage. The walk to downtown was very pleasant and close. The cottage was clean and as advertised. I appreciated the efficient communication for the check-in process. We did not have any issues so no need to reach out for any concerns but an emergency number was given to us in case we did. I would definitely consider staying here again if we revisit.

Love theses cottages

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.

The Shell Cottage

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.
