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 beautiful 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.

Beaufort rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season in Beaufort. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
  • The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
  • Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Often, rental management companies supply Havelock area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

  • Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Scuttlebutt Nautical Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock rentals search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
  • If there's a particular Havelock attraction you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
  • Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

  • Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
  • To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
