Wonderful mini vacation with friends.

We really enjoyed this beautiful, comfotable home on Taylors Creek.We spent most of our time on the dock wayching boats and the wild horses. We saw porpoises one evening.The house had everything we could possibly want or need for fun, comfort and cooking.It was nice to walk to town for shopping and restaurants. We even made the short trip to Atlantic Beach for a nice day at the beach.Perfect in every way.

Really special

As soon as you walk in the front door, you get the distinct feeling that you’re home. It’s cozy and has a nostalgic feel with the bathroom tile walls and quirky dining room chandelier. But the view is the best!! We saw and heard horses right across from the house, and though I didn’t see dolphins, I’m pretty sure I heard them one night. Great communication with the host, too. The house has everything you need to cook or bake and the furniture is very comfortable. It’s a 10 minute walk to downtown and the neighbors are super friendly. I can’t wait to go back!!

Amazing Time

What a great place to stay! The owners are very accommodating and responsive. Close to everything like the historic town to walk to, breaches just right around the conner, and great home atmosphere with everything you need to kick back and enjoy so time away from the day-to-day work life. Highly recommend booking your next holiday here.

We want to stay here again!!!

This property is beautiful. Very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. This property is very well equipped as well. Beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck enjoying the views all the way to the ocean. We had daily views of the wild horses. We enjoyed watching them even from the comfort of the couch. The views are truly spectacular. We have vacationed in the Beaufort area for the past few years and my wife proclaimed that this is her favorite property by far.

Beautiful House Beside the Sea

Spacious, well furnished, single level house in a quieter, less busy part of Beaufort. Beautiful views and convenient boat access to Taylor creek. Owner (Stan) strives to keep the home well maintained. Great opportunity for our elderly mom and uncle to reconnect after many years, while we enjoyed kayaking and Beaufort's historical attractions.

True Waterfront Property

Comfy and well appointed home with great views of the sunrise and sunsets. Go sightseeing or just watch the boats go by. Bring your binoculars to enjoy the wildlife and horses. A quiet and peaceful location that is still close to everything. Will stay here again. The host made sure that everything was taken care of for us. Bring your linens.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay was better than we could have ever asked for. The location on Taylor’s Creek was perfect. We drank our coffee on the dock while watching the wild horses and walked to Beaufort waterfront every morning before the heat of the day. The brand new dock was perfect to accommodate our 33ft center console with no trouble maneuvering in and out of Taylor’s creek. The cleanliness and decor was superb. We can’t wait for our vacation back next year. Thank you Stan and Lauren for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us.

Beautiful and serene views

Stan’s home is very well located-close to downtown with beautiful water views. We saw the wild horses, birds, and even dolphins during our stay in addition to amazing sunsets (and even one glorious sunrise)! The home is well equipped and even had great Christmas decorations. Very comfortable rooms. I didn’t realize that we needed to bring sheets and towels when I booked but Iuckily Stan sent an email ahead of time - his communication was great! I highly recommend this home!

About the host

Hosted by Stan Breakell

We fell in love with this town while dropping our oldest son off at Camp Seagull in 2001.
We have brought our 4 boys here since then and they have all grown up loving Beaufort as well. 5 of us got certified for scuba here at Discovery Dive and we tend to make every vacation a diving opportunity. We hope to retire here one day-we finally got our boys out of college!!! We know you will fall in love with Beaufort too!

Why they chose this property

Carrot Island is right across the creek and you can watch the ponies and dolphins from almost any window. Private dock in backyard that does not even require you to cross the street!. 1 level living. Large windows and open floor plan bring the views all the way into the house. Deep water dock for serious boaters and sailors.

What makes this property unique

You can see the water from the front door all the way through the house. When you walk up the spiral staircase to the second floor deck you know you are living large!
