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

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.

Beautiful Shell Cottage

The Shell Cottage had everything we needed for our short but sweet stay in beautiful historic Beaufort, NC. It was clean and welcoming, beautifully decorated and in the best location. My husband and I both agreed, we could easily live there! Perhaps we'll stay longer next time...
