Perfect Place
We loved staying at Anchors Aweigh in Beaufort! The house was spacious and comfortable and the hosts were so kind. We enjoyed meeting them upon arrival! The location was ideal for walking everywhere. It was the perfect place to stay with our dog. Our favorite part was sitting on the front porch enjoying the breeze! We hope to come back again soon!

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.

Loved our trip to Beaufort. We came for the Beaufort Ghost Walk. From this cute cottage we could walk to our destination. The hosts, Joe and Sue are wonderful. They brought us shrimp cocktail and were a joy to talk to. Will definitely be back.

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.

Scuba Diving Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and all expectations were met or exceeded. The property was perfect for our stay scuba diving in the area. Situated near Moorehead City, area resturants, and Waterfront/Dive Shops. Property was clean with every ammenity we could have needed and the hosts went above and beyond and were gracious hosts. Outside area with sink,shower, and bathroom were perfect after a day of diving and scuba gear rinsing/drying. Highly recommend and looking forward to a return visit.

Amazing Week!
Wonderful location to the water front. House was clean and accommodating. Seeing the original key to the house added to the houses nostalgia. Great location to visit Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout. The owners were out of town during our visit but still made sure we enjoyed some shrimp. Shout out to Dace for helping with our questions and his food recommendations while his parents were out of town. Hope to return next year.

Perfect location and attentive hosts!
The location of this house makes it perfect for walks to Front Street with our dogs, going out to dinner and anything else you may want to do in “downtown” Beaufort. It is extremely well stocked and if you are missing anything the hosts are willing to help in every way. Highly recommend their fresh seafood business - Darden’s Seafood- even if you aren’t staying in the house. Great place to unwind and relax with family.

Cozy, full of extras, great location
Joe and Sue are sweet as pie--like the pumpking pie they brought me (best I ever had!). They stock the house with every sort of item, including food items, so you can save on groceries. You think you are at home with all the thoughtful extras. There is no better day than to walk down for breakfast at the Turner Street Market, sit by the water in the park, investigate the amazing cemetery with a live oak for every grave (check out the little rum girl), and be sure to have Joe's seafood extraordinaire. The shrimp is like candy. The beaches are FABULOUS!
