Anchors Aweigh in Beaufort, NC is an adorable historic cottage with all the modern conveniences we could want. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for cooking, and the downstairs bed (the only bedroom we used) is so comfortable. The entire house was spotlessly clean. It is well-located just 2 blocks from the Main Street and waterfront district where there are many restaurants and shops. The hosts, Sue and Ron, were extremely easy to communicate with and did everything possible to make our visit pleasant. We highly recommend staying at Anchors Aweigh cottage in Beaufort, NC.

Lovely Historic Home

We enjoyed the location of this home! Love all the history of this town, which we found was linked to our hometown in WNC. The owners were wonderful and have the best fresh shrimp! They supplied many essentials that I usually have to purchase when staying in VRBO. Highly recommend!
