15 Beds-13 sgl,2 qns! 3 ac waterfront retreat, easy walk to Beaufort docks Tucked away on a quiet dead end road minutes from Beaufort's Historic district, this former church fellowship hall is now a 4 bedroom house perfect for a family reunion or small group gathering. (The attached 1400 sq.ft sanctuary is now a large gathering space with comfortable seating, 4 sofa beds, tables, stage and 85" smart tv + 2 bathrooms for an additional $350/night). It's only a 15 minute easy walk (8 minute bike ride) to the Historic District waterfront shopping/restaurants/bars/museums. Our quiet maritime forest backyard is home to numerous waterfowl, fish and deer. Swing under the old live oaks or enjoy our firepit in 1 of 3 seating areas by the creek (400ft of water front)! Enjoy the prevailing sw breeze as it comes across the marsh while watching egrets, herons, ibis and osprey! Sunsets are FANTASTIC! The kayak accessible creek feeds to Town Creek Bay & Gallant's Channel. The old menhaden rr track bed (used by Harvey Smith's menhaden plant, The Fishmeal Company, that used a spur of the Beaufort & Morehead Railroad) runs parallel to the creek right through the middle of our property! This is a hidden oasis in a busy historic coastal town. Our open floor plan allows you to have plenty of comfortable room to cook and entertain, watch tv, play pool or simply lounge and read with lots of very comfortable seating! We have 4 private bedrooms (NO sheets provided, available to rent $10/bed with 1 week advance notice before check-in)...1 queen bedroom, 1 queen w/ a top sgl bunk, 2 bedrooms 6 sgl bunks each (total 12 sgls in these rooms). The large, open kitchen is PERFECT for cooking/entertaining. It features a new 5 burner glass top conduction stove with 2 ovens (1 lg. convection oven and 1 sm. regular oven), lg. microwave, fullsize refrigerator as well as a commercial dishwasher. You'll find plenty of cooking supplies and plates, glasses etc. to host a feast! Our wraparound bar seats 10 easily. Beautiful new 500sq. ft. attached covered back porch! We have 2 bathrooms with 2 toilets each and a separate shower room with 2 showers and a washer/dryer. There is a fantastic outdoor shower as well! The decor consists of decades of our family loving and exploring the area and collecting many unusual artifacts, natural treasures and local art. The attached sanctuary was built in 1933, 8 miles east in the small fishing village of Bettie. In 1979 The Crystal Coast Sanctuary was created when the sanctuary was picked up and moved here and the fellowship hall was added. Leave your car parked for your stay and instead walk or ride bikes or paddle your way around town! There is plenty of parking for your boat trailer if needed. Public Beaches are only a short 5-15 minute drive (Radio Island or Atlantic Beach) or go by ferry boat from the Front St. docks to Rachel Carson Nature Preserve (Carrot Island or Sand Dollar Island), Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout! Hopefully you'll see the famous wild ponies and some dolphin! We live nearby and will happily answer any questions about where to go and what to do! We hope you'll love our little slice of heaven as much as we do! PLEASE REMEMBER>>>Neighborhood quiet hours are 11pm to 7am.
