We thoroughly enjoyed our family Beaufort vacation. We loved being close enough to walk to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, museums and the Farmers market. Missed not having closet space but old home quirks are to be expected.

I would have given this property 5 stars but the cleaning people showing up 40 minutes prior to our checkout was tacky at best. I asked for an early check-in and the host (who immediately responded and said that she would tell us when the place would be ready) ghosted us on check-in day.Other than that and the terrible gravel noise from the massive Beaufort water lines construction, this place was perfect. Small and quaint. The checkin process is great and the walk to everything is just a few blocks. I would recommend this place for sure! Very nice and priced fine. You will enjoy it if you are Beaufort Grocery fans like we are!!

I am sorry that I was not able to let you check-in early without paying for early check-in. I do my best to get guests in as soon as it is possible. The cleaning company was sitting in their car on the street 20 minutes prior to your checkout... I apologize and have asked them not to do that again. On behalf of the Town of Beaufort, apologies for the construction. Completely out of my control. And on behalf of other future hosts, please review based on the house and host. I appreciate you staying.

This was our second stay at the Historic Corner Cottage. The house is just right for us and the location is perfect. Jess is super and responds quickly. The house is very clean and well equipped for welcoming guests. We spent our mornings and evenings enjoying the peaceful front porch.

About the host

Hosted by Jess Angel

Host profile image
I'm Jess... wife, mom, business owner, website developer, wine connoisseur (self proclaimed), photographer and traveler! I love to meet new people, see new places, stay in unique hotels/inns/homes and learn about different ways of life. This world has so much diversity; it would be a disservice to not experience as much as possible. I live for the experiences in life and wish to provide experiences to others as well.
I love hosting guests. There is nothing better than to be able to provide a safe, comfortable and fun place for people with the same interest in travel. I couldn't be more passionate about opening our doors, and piece of history, to everyone.
"Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

Why they chose this property

Beaufort has become our favorite place on the planet. We love the salt air, beautiful streets, friendly people, food... the list goes on and on. The Windsor House is what locals described as "cute as a button". It offers everything you need for a comfortable stay and the location is absolutely perfect. We can walk to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. Anything and everything is just a short trip... Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and all the Crystal Coast has to offer. All the neighbors, locals and visitors, greet you with a smile. The cottage was built in 1886, with hardwood floors and that old world charm, but modern conveniences have been added to make life at the Windsor House just about perfect.

What makes this property unique

The front porch has a swing and rocking chairs, perfect for evenings of unwinding while sipping a drink and taking in the beauty and breezes. You can walk to the waterfront in 5 minutes. The 140 year old house was built by a Fishing Captain in the historic district of Beaufort.
