Cottage History
The original building (now the family room with original wood burning stove) was constructed in Morehead City in 1910. Subsequently, it was moved to its present location in Beaufort and two additions were constructed: the present day eat-in kitchen and the middle structure with dinning room, baths and two bedrooms. Architecturally, you will notice the style differences between the family room and kitchen with their vaulted ceilings and the newer middle structure.


About Beaufort, NC

Founded in 1709, Beaufort is a appealing coastal town located on Beaufort Inlet, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. As the third oldest town in NC, Beaufort maintains a modest-town feel with its modest population of around 4,000 residents. However, during the warmer months, the town comes alive with visitors from across the globe.
Originally known as Fishtown, Beaufort's early economy relied heavily on local natural resources. Fishing, whaling, lumber production, naval stores, shipbuilding, and farming were the primary economic activities. The town was later renamed after Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort.
Despite having the safest and most navigable harbor among North Carolina's ports, Beaufort's commercial growth was limited due to its isolation from the interior. Today, the town is acclaimed for its laid-back atmosphere, well-preserved historic homes, and unexpectedly high-quality dining and entertainment options.

About the Area

Located in Beaufort, this vacation home is by the sea. North Carolina Maritime Museum and Mount Maker Charters are local attractions and those in the mood for shopping can visit Arts and Things Gallery and Morehead Plaza Shopping Center.

Booking the best Beaufort vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer is high season in Beaufort. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
  • Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Many property management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

  • Start by having your group choose date ranges and a budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Scuttlebutt Nautical Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
  • Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
  • If there's a specific Beaufort, NC destination you love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

  • Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
  • Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
