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.

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!

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...

Awesome time!

This is tge third time we've stayed at this cottage and every time is as good as the last! We love the location - the waterfront with shopping and restaurants is only 3 short blocks away. And the area around the cottage is very quiet at night. Love it!

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.

Cute cottage

Went for the weekend and we enjoyed our stay. Very cute cottage and close to downtown which was nice. For the most part it was clean and well kept. Our only issue however was the shower looked like it was missed and not cleaned before our stay. Other than that we had a great time.

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.

Cozy Communal Cottage Near Downtown

We had a very nice stay in the Shell Cottage. It was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, a nice living room area, and comfortable bed and linens. It was a short walk (~5 minutes) from the historic downtown shops and restaurants which made it very easy to get around and visit Beaufort. The Shell cottage is dog friendly and we had plenty of room to set up our dog's crate in the main living space for sleeping. There is no place immediately around the cottage for a dog to potty, but there is a park directly across the street which made it easy to have the dog with us. We didn't realize this cottage was part of a compound of several other cottages that all shared a driveway and are positioned close together, so we were a little surprised upon arrival and felt a little lack of privacy while the other guests were also outside their units. For example - the chairs outside the units are situated on the shared driveway in more of a communal format rather than a more private individual stay. That said, all guests were very friendly and respectful. (If you have a group traveling to Beaufort this could be a really fun opportunity to have multiple people in your party all stay on the property in the various cottages!) Overall - we would recommend this little spot if you're going into Beaufort! It's casual, clean, has everything you need, and is conveniently located.
