Sunrise over North River

Wake up to spectacular sunrises over the North River and spend your days surrounded by the beauty of shrimp boats going out, bait fish jumping, graceful waterfowl and the occasional dolphin pod breaching. Whether you're playing lawn games with family, rinsing off in an outdoor shower after a beach day, or simply unwinding on the screened porch with a cool drink, every moment at BeaufortHouse is designed for unforgettable memories.

This charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath vacation home sits right on the water, just three miles from downtown Beaufort in a peaceful neighborhood. Close enough to enjoy the town’s dining, shopping, and historic charm—yet far enough for true relaxation.

Inside, the eat-in kitchen comfortably seats four, while the dining room welcomes six to eight guests for shared meals. Need a quiet retreat? Curl up in the cozy living room with a good book, or take in the sunset from the deck as boats return home for the evening.

There's plenty to do, whether it’s puzzling, board games, lawn games, or a scenic run or walk through the neighborhood. After a fun-filled beach day, rinse off in the refreshing outdoor shower, pour yourself a drink, put on your favorite music, and kick back.

As night falls, the Great Room becomes the heart of the home—perfect for family time, cocktails, game nights, or streaming your favorite movies and shows.

Come experience the magic of BeaufortHouse—where the river meets relaxation and memories are made.

Incredible views.
Incredible views. Great location. Beds were comfortable. House was so-so. Not as clean as others I have stayed in. After a 3 day road trip, the home was not ready when we arrived, so we ended up staying in a hotel the first night in Beaufort. Cleaning crew came the next morning and we were able to move in. We did not try the jacuzzi tub, but it looked nice. Furniture was very tired and uncomfortable. Kitchen cabinets were unorganized. I had to empty and organize pots and pans in order to cook a meal. Home smelled musty. In spite of some negative issues, we had a great time in this lovely area.

I enjoyed my stay at this property. Plenty of space and yard for my grandchildren. Wish they would've had a pier to fish from. The mosquitoes was savage my poor granddaughter got the worst of it.😮‍💨😩 My mom was so happy with the screened in porch Really wish the bush wasnt in front of window of the room with half a bath.

Another wonderful stay at the Beaufort House.
Thank you for sharing your home with us once again. This was our second stay here and it did not disappoint. We got to see dolphins in the North River and enjoyed many sunrises from the screened in porch. Our family of 7 was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. It proved to be a wonderful home base for us as we explored the Crystal Coast and the town of Beaufort. We hope to get the chance to return again in the future. Thank you King family for your hospitality.

Relaxing
A nice older home. comfortable and great location close to Beaufort (6 minutes) and with nice view of the water. We enjoyed the nice collection of books. And as others have mentioned sitters ng in the screened porch is wonderful. There was a fairly strong mildew smell when we first entered the house but it got a bit better when we opened the sliding glass door for awhile to air it (after turning off the AC of course). later after closing the sliding door and turning the AC back on, we ran the dehumidifier that is in the kitchen area and that also helped. The water is well water and was soft so it was nice to shower with, but we bought some purified bottled water at Food Lion for drinking. We also enjoyed watching the local bunnies playing in the backyard.

So relaxing!
The setting of this property can't be beat. It was so wonderful being able to sit in the den, the screen porch or the deck and look out over the wide North River. The house was larger than I anticipated and laid out perfectly for our party. The bedroom we used had a large picture window overlooking the water--bliss!--and an attached half bath. The master given to our sister and BIL had an attached full bath and was on the farthest end of the house. Suited them perfectly as they are late risers and enjoy a dark, quiet room. We enjoyed using the large jetted tub and large shower in the hall bathroom. The big dining room table--separated from the common den--worked great for setting up the computers and getting the inevitable work done. We used the eat-in kitchen several nights and found it spacious and well stocked. Finally, the screened porch on the back of the house was the perfect spot to leave our two senior dachshunds when we were away for several hours. We hope to return to this place. It made me homesick for a place I've never lived. Hard to explain but the quiet, serenity and beauty of the place was outstanding. Thanks to our wonderful hosts!!!

Nice view but house needs some work
First the good things: this house has a pretty view of the river, and lovely sunsets. It was restful watching birds fly by. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood, but still not far from Beaufort center. The house has room to sleep a lot of people--the rooms are small but there are a lot of beds. We loved the family room, with a view of the water, and the screen porch. The kitchen is well outfitted--I make Thanksgiving dinner there, with a turkey, with no difficulties. However, this house just needs some repairs. It has the feel of someone trying to squeeze every last penny out of it before selling it. The lights in the breakfast nook don't work. We ate Thanksgiving dinner by candlelight and a camping lantern. It was kind of romantic but got old fast. The dining room does have some lighting though. The living room has two lamps that don't work, so no lighting at all. All the rooms are pretty low light. The bathroom fan has been taped in an "on" position. So it runs all the time, which is not so bad (though it's loud!) but it's also dying, so it stops and starts, coughs and whines and phases on and off, all day and all night. Even with both doors closed it still kept us awake at night. Finally my husband just removed the tape and turned it off. Bliss! Then we could sleep. But no, then the smoke alarm in our bedroom started beeping its "low battery" warning; we had to disable that so we could sleep. Not sleeping is not what we were hoping for on a vacation! I tried to contact the property manager several times but didn't get any responses.

Well furnished waterfront house in Beaufort
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this spacious house in a nice suburban neighborhood only several minutes away from historic downtown Beaufort. The sunrises over the North River are spectacular. It was very helpful to our stay that the kitchen was so well equipped - plenty of pots and pans, as well as many seasonings. We would recommend this house for groups of two to six people wanting a relaxed and comfortable environment. If we return to this area, we would look to stay here another time.

Kathy's Lakeview house at Beaufort NC
We (Inala's - Ramakrishna,Mytreyi,Ashwin,Varun & PetDog-Bruno) rented this place as a part of our 2022 Labor Day weekend outing. We fell in love with the location of the house backing into a lake - a spectacular view of the lake and skyline in the evening and a beautiful sunrise for next couple of days. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard deck and enjoyed the cool breeze sipping in our beverages while our kids played along with our pet dog (Brono). The ambience in the house was also very homely with lot of shell decor. All the amenities were there and we had to just bring in some groceries for our coffee and teas. We had enjoyed the beaches (Beaufort/Atlantic/Emerald), nice evening strolls in the Beaufort downtown followed with nice dinner. We especially kids enjoyed our ferry ride to Lookout lighthouse and Marine musuem. Overall, our stay here was a memorable one and will cherish for long time. We will keep this house in our list to re-visit in near future. Only wish Kathy to take care of the lock issue for future.

Fantastic property and a great stay. The property is right on the water, which makes for awesome views. Please do not try to access the water from the property, the rocks are slippery and full of sharp barnacles. Bring your own toilet paper (for more extended stays), toiletries, and dishwashing detergent pods. Overall, an amazing stay and highly recommended.
