Cottage History
The original building (now the family room with original wood burning stove) was constructed in Morehead City in 1910. Subsequently, it was moved to its present location in Beaufort and two additions were constructed: the present day eat-in kitchen and the middle structure with dinning room, baths and two bedrooms. Architecturally, you will notice the style differences between the family room and kitchen with their vaulted ceilings and the newer middle structure.


About Beaufort, NC

Founded in 1709, Beaufort is a appealing coastal town located on Beaufort Inlet, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. As the third oldest town in NC, Beaufort maintains a modest-town feel with its modest population of around 4,000 residents. However, during the warmer months, the town comes alive with visitors from across the globe.
Originally known as Fishtown, Beaufort's early economy relied heavily on local natural resources. Fishing, whaling, lumber production, naval stores, shipbuilding, and farming were the primary economic activities. The town was later renamed after Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort.
Despite having the safest and most navigable harbor among North Carolina's ports, Beaufort's commercial growth was limited due to its isolation from the interior. Today, the town is acclaimed for its laid-back atmosphere, well-preserved historic homes, and unexpectedly high-quality dining and entertainment options.

About the Area

Located in Beaufort, this vacation home is by the sea. North Carolina Maritime Museum and Mount Maker Charters are local attractions and those in the mood for shopping can visit Arts and Things Gallery and Morehead Plaza Shopping Center.

Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

When to visit Beaufort & When to book:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Beaufort, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
  • Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

  • Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
  • Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Scuttlebutt Nautical Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.
  • Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for a great stay:

  • Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
  • Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
  • Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
  • Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
