Whether you are traveling to learn about the lore of Blackbeard or to soak up the sun at the beautiful beaches, Beaufort, North Carolina has something to offer every guest. Journey out onto the water for a boat cruise, kayak tour, or fishing charter, or settle in the sand to listen to the soothing music of the ocean. Take in the history of the area at the North Carolina Maritime Museum or at Hammock House, the former lodging of the pirate Blackbeard. When you make Beaufort your getaway destination for rest, relaxation, and an amazing family-oriented adventure, you certainly will not be disappointed.

No matter what water activity you plan to pursue during your stay, there is bound to be an outlet that can accommodate your needs. However, for easy access to the water and amazing views of the boats traveling through Gallants Channel, the best lodging option is a Beaufort vacation rental that is ideally situated near the famous Beaufort Drawbridge. You have the privacy associated with being tucked away in the historic district combined with the convenience of staying a block from the Front Street shops and restaurants and the public docks at Derwoods Landing. Enjoy your dinner on the brick veranda that is shaded with jasmine and wake up to the sounds of the water from your upper porch just steps off the master bedroom.

For the ultimate in seclusion and luxury accommodations, consider a condo that is perched high above on Radio Island, which sits between Historic Beaufort and Morehead City. You can enjoy the most breathtaking views of the water throughout the condo and from the full width balcony that runs along three sides. The rental also comes with numerous amenities, including deep water slips, an L-shaped pool, a fitness room, hot tub, and steam room, to pamper guests and make their stay as enjoyable as possible. If you awake early, settle on the balcony with a warm cup of coffee as you catch sight of the wild horses across the inlet and the dolphins parading through the water just off the docks.

When you want to be close to all this charming city has to offer, a cottage in the historic district is the ideal place to stay. You can stroll through the nearby art galleries, museums, and antique shops, make your way to the North Carolina Maritime Museum, or venture to the Beaufort docks to watch the boats coming and going without ever hopping in your car. When you return from a busy day around town, rest on the front porch swing, which is perfect for people-watching, or settle on the deck of the fenced in backyard with your favorite canine friend.

Traveling with a large number of guests is no longer a burden when you stay in a home that has enough space to easily accommodate twenty guests. Rather than squeezing into separate hotel rooms, make your way to a beautiful home that is luxuriously furnished and equipped with all the modern conveniences you are accustomed to. You can enjoy the unforgettable views of Carrot Island, Fort Macon, diving dolphins, and breathtaking sunsets while surrounding yourself with your friends and family. By staying in a large, single lodging, which ideally overlooks Beaufort Inlet on Front Street, you can take advantage of everything the town and the ocean have to offer without sacrificing quality time among every member of your group.
