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!

Comfortable house, great location, gracious hosts.

My wife, daughter, two grandchildren and I spent five days at Anchors Aweigh while visiting Beaufort for a wedding of another daughter. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location where we could walk just about everywhere. The husband of the host is a commercial fisherman and prepared a plate of fresh caught shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce for us. Nice people.

You will want for nothing at this cottage! Sue and Joe have thought of everything including emergency lights, books, games and even a basket of snacks. Location is great for walking into town but on a busy street. Nice that they are next door if you need anything!

My favorite vacation rental

We've stayed in a few rentals. This one tops the list. It is not run by property management, and the owners live nearby. The owners added several extras not found in other rentals such as many condiments and a bowl of packaged snacks. Pet friendly. Outdoor area to enjoy with the dogs. Location is great. It's close to a coffee shop. The town is super cute. A short drive to the ferry. Plenty of activities.

Amazing Host

My wife and I had a wonderful stay here at Anchors Away! Sue was amazing host. She stopped by to ensure our check in process went well and to see if there was anything she could do for us. They even brought us a healthy amount of steamed shrimp from their market! It was delicious too!! The house is a very short 6 minute walk to the waterfront where all the stores and restaurants are which is great. We will definitely put this house on our first look any time we come back to Beaufort.

Excellent place to stay with a pet.

Beautiful quiet cottage and a lovely place to stay especially for those traveling with a pet. The kitchen was very well supplied with both cooking necessities as well as bowls for pets, doggy cleanup bags, doggy treats, etc. I think my dog had a great time just looking out the window and watching people go by up and down the street. And of course being on Turner Street, access to the waterfront and historic area is excellent being literally just down the street and within walking distance from the cottage. Sue was so kind and hospitable and checked on me to see if there was anything I needed. I look forward to returning someday.
