About this property

Trendy Loft w/ Energetic Outdoors - 5 min from the beach and pet friendly!

Our cozy deck invites you into an open, light-filled space that is perfect for every occasion. With shops and restaurants less than two miles away, you can explore the charming town of Beaufort by foot, golf cart, bike or water! Embark on local adventures to Shackleford Banks & Harkers Island OR simply kickback to enjoy the spacious outdoors, grill, friendly locals, games and more! Plus your pooch can come too!

This property has been maintained as a 5 star stay and was recently purchased by us (5 star hosts). It was voted as Beaufort’s top short-term stay in 2022. The Loft is located above a retail space, Dancing Baristas Cafe, which opened in March 2023. There will be patrons visiting the shop downstairs for early morning coffee and the business will be hosting occasional afternoon/evening events on site. The entire outdoor space is considered common area for all guests to enjoy and we hope you will participate in all of the fun being offered right outside your door! However, the upstairs area is reserved only for our VRBO guests and you will not be sharing any indoor spaces. If you'd like to engage in the community, meet locals, feel some excitement and learn more about the area...you will love this spot! Please feel free to connect with me to learn about any events that may be taking place during your stay or check out the Dancing Baristas Cafe (DBC) on social media.

Guests will have access to the upstairs loft (private entrance) as well as the outdoor spaces. Find yourself at home with a propane grill, outdoor shower (seasonal), outdoor patio furniture and more. Reserved parking is available for our guests. If you have your dog along, you'll find a small fenced area where they can loosen their legs after a long car ride!

Within 1.5 miles you'll land in the Historic Downtown of Beaufort, where you'll find bars, restaurants, ice cream, live music, ferry services and more. While some may consider walking downtown, most guests opt to hop on a bike or golf cart. Rent these locally and take advantage of the delivery services available so they'll be waiting upon your arrival! We'll be happy to share directions for a shortcut to downtown - the trail over the Turner Street bridge is just around the corner!

We bet you'll find yourself planning a return trip before you've even left!

Cute Lil Getaway spot

This quaint spot is perfect for a quick getaway. Convenient to shops, especially Beaufort waterfront. Beautifully decorated with all needed conveniences. Bethany was very pleasant to deal with. Oh and the Dancing Baristas coffee shop downstairs was the icing on the cake.

Perfect place for one or two!

I was visiting Beaufort for the first time. This property was ideally located to downtown, Harkers Island, and Morehead. I enjoyed staying above Dancing Baristas. It was so convenient to pop down for my Latte and breakfast choice each morning before heading out. The property was perfectly appointed with toiletries, books, games, a comfy bed, and more. The owner provided great communication before and during my stay. I will stay again when I am back in the area.

Cutie Loft

Great communication from the host Bethany. Easy entry code. Very cute loft; easy access to the beach or ferry. It was a nice touch that i could call or go downstairs to get breakfast from the barista. It was nice that i was able to bring my dog and enjoy the beach with her. I will be back

A cozy stay

Came to town from New York for a beach wedding. What a wonderful loft above a charming cafe, where we were welcomed by very friendly staff. Not only is it super convenient to walk downstairs in our PJs and order our morning coffees, but the dog-friendly amenities and cute porch are the cherries on top. Thanks for a relaxing stay and the southern hospitality.

Best coffee shop around

Lovely little hidden gem! I left 4 stars instead of 5 simply because the mattress was a bit too firm & the bathroom door was odd - it doesn’t close all the way, so there was no true sense of privacy. I would have preferred to know that prior, but overall, beautiful spot & the coffee shop was amazing! The staff were great & I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent!

This apartment rental was awesome! It is decorated so nice(as in the pictures), has all the amenities you could need and a few minutes drive to downtown Beaufort. Love Beaufort! And the cafe downstairs is great with wonderful owners and it makes it nice to get something to eat and drinks if you don’t want to go out to eat all the time. This place was perfect for us for a week’s getaway. Bethany, the owner, is very responsive for any questions. We highly recommend staying here!!!

Fun, Quaint, and Comfortable!

This is a great place. The suite itself is meticulously clean, beautifully decorated, and is just a comfortable place to stay. While not quite in downtown Beaufort per se, the location is great and is very easy to get to the waterfront in Beaufort, Morehead City, and Harkers Island. The icing on the cake is the Dancing Baristas coffee shop below the suite. Serving breakfast and lunch, it was a true treat to go downstairs for a cup of coffee and some breakfast in the morning and be welcomed by the incredibly sweet staff and friendly locals. Both food and coffee were outstanding. All in all, we spent two nights at this VRBO and then spent a week camping at Cape Lookout National Seashore. We spent a third night at this VRBO after returning from our stay at Cape Lookout. This area is absolutely gorgeous, lots of things to do, has a fascinating history, and really good places to eat! This loft is the perfect place to enjoy it all, I just wish that we could stay for another week!

About the host

Hosted by Bethany Smith

Host profile image
Originally from the Midwest, my husband and I both grew up in small towns in Michigan. We eventually moved to North Carolina to chase the warmer weather and explore everything the state has to offer. We love both states for different reasons, and enjoy traveling between the two but we're in NC to stay. I have hosted homes in Raleigh, NC and Boyne Falls, MI but we are so happy to have found this charming stay in Beaufort, NC. We are not new to hosting, and you'll learn that very quickly! We want your stay to be as enjoyable and memorable as our very own travels so we provide as many amenities and suggestions as possible. We hope you find this place to be a hidden gem that you return to for years! CHEERS!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is situated on a dead end street off Live Oak, just as you come into Beaufort. This property is set back far enough that road noise does not tend to be an issue for guests but yet you have quick access to everywhere you need to go. Nearby you will find Piggly Wiggly, Ace Hardware, Food Lion, CVS Pharmacy, ABC Store and other necessities for your stay. This is in addition to the amazing cafe right below the loft - yummy!!!

Also, a little "secret route" to downtown...follow the road to the dead end where you will find a sidewalk that will take you up over the Turner Street bridge. Follow this and you'll be right downtown on Turner Street and Front Street in no time! You can safely walk or ride bikes on this route but unfortunately, no golf carts allowed.

What makes this property unique

You might have to walk, ride or Uber to Front Street to enjoy the nightlife but getting away from it all at the end of the day feels so good. Enjoying some time away from the chaos of Front St. while meeting locals in a casual and welcoming environment is a great way to ease into your day, learn about the area and make lasting connections. We love being a part of downtown Beaufort but also love that our place has the convenience of getting to SO many other places so easily.
