Teal Tides is the ideal place to stay while visiting the Atlantic Beach/Beaufort area. This is a lovely beach house, well-maintained and in a wonderful location very close to the beach. The kitchen is great if you want to cook, and the beds are super comfy. Mark is a fantastic host; he provided all the information we needed for an easy check-in, and lots of excellent information about local restaurants and bars (highly recommend the Painkiller at Moonrakers, and the martinis and delicious tapas at Circa 81). There is a lovely pool for guests to use which has a great view of the beach, and chairs are always available. It’s also the perfect spot for viewing the stars at night. I would also recommend Lookout Cruises (catamaran) in Beaufort; both the 6 hour cruise to Cape Lookout (lunch included) and the sunset cruise are fantastic. Whether you just want to spend time relaxing on the beautiful beach, or sightsee, shop and dine in Beaufort or further afield, you cannot find a better base than Teal Tides. We are already looking forward to returning next year!
