About this property

Waterfront Cottage on Taylor's Creek w/ Boat Dock - Near Shops and Restaurants

We would like to welcome you to "The Easy Plateau" cottage on Taylor's Creek in Beaufort.

Our home is comfortable and clean and is supplied with everything you need, including TVs with Roku in the living room and each bedroom, high speed wireless internet and a modern kitchen with all new appliances. Fresh bed linens are provided free of charge, as are bath towels and wash clothes.

Our cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The shower for the second bath, is an outdoor shower which is private and easily accessible directly from the bathroom.

There is also a bonus room off the living room which has a comfortable day bed. We call it the "Hemingway Room" as the decor is inspired by Hemingway's boat, Pilar.

We've just added a huge floating dock with room for 2 boats and there is also a floating kayak dock, fold down swim ladder, fish cleaning station and bench seating on the pier.

From the front porch and dock, you will enjoy a continuous parade of boats, wild horses and pirate shenanigans. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the perfect harbor.

You will only be 1/2 mile from downtown Beaufort, where you'll find plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.

It's a quick drive to world class beaches, the ICW, the North Carolina aquarium, charter boat fishing and cruising and diving. There are fishing tournaments and festivals galore, including The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, The Beaufort Pirate Invasion, The Beaufort Historic Home and Garden Tour, The Beaufort Music Festival, Wooden Boat Show, Harker's Island Duck Decoys, and NC Seafood Festival. There are always fun activities in town including live music almost nightly on the town boardwalk.

Beaufort was one of Blackbeard's favorite hangouts. Had you been our guest in 1717, you would have laid gaze on Blackbeard's mooring , as the home that he frequently visited while on holiday from pirating, is diagonally behind us. There is little doubt that he walked across our property to reach his girlfriend's home. He ran aground off Beaufort's coast 300 years ago, and the Beaufort branch of the North Carolina Maritime Museum proudly displays artifacts salvaged from his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

Beaufort has been voted best yachting destination and America's Coolest Small Town. The Cape Lookout National Seashore was recently voted best National Park.

If you rent our home we ask that you respect the peace and privacy of your neighbors. While Beaufort has become a tourist destination, it is still a quiet community, especially after dark.

We know you will enjoy your vacation at "The Easy Plateau" in Beaufort .

The Easy Plateau

The Easy Plateau was quite possibly one of the best places our family has every stayed at along the Carolina Coast. The house itself was amazing and very well done, and the property, especially with it's easy walk to downtown Beaufort and that it has it's own boat dock makes it all the more better. We'd certainly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Beaufort area. We'll certainly be back again. Thank you!

Perfect Home in Beaufort

We would highly recommend staying in Amy's Home! It is so comfortable and stocked with everything you need! We are returning guests because we love this home so much! The front porch is perfect for enjoying watching the boats go by and all the friendly people taking a stroll down the street. Amy is always so attentive in answering questions and making sure we are comfortable. We can't wait to stay next year!!

Just wonderful!

This was our fifth year staying at Easy Plateau: we keep coming back for the comforts of home in a beautiful setting! Amy is a wonderful host, and the home is well-stocked and super-clean. You can’t beat the front porch, outdoor shower, or direct water access (we always bring the boat!). Can’t wait to return next year!

My family and I decided on a last minute vacation before back to school and this house happened to be available and I’m so glad it was. The house was great! Great location, clean, and on the water with boat dock. We will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

This house was perfect for our family. Directly across from the water with access for our boat. Within walking or golfcart riding distance to all the restaurants and shops. We fished off of the pier, sat on our front porch and watched the water in the evenings. It was perfect!

Lovely little cottage in a lovely little town

This was by far the best vacation experience I have had yet. The house was adorable and situated right on Taylor Creek so we had unlimited access to the dock where we tied up our kayaks. We could walk into town for dinner and shopping and catch the ferry to the barrier islands or just paddle over to a beach to explore Carrot Island. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking most of our meals and we could eat inside or out on the picnic table on the front porch. I think Amy must have a background in hospitality because everything we could have asked for was there including plenty of first aid supplies which someone always seems to need. Everyone who walked, biked, drove by on their golf carts was friendly and I got the sense that Beaufort is a community which is so refreshing after spending many years going to the upper parts of the Outer Banks. I would go back to this property in a heartbeat!

Tranquility in Beaufort, NC

The Easy Plateau is a charming house located across the street from Taylor Creek. Within walking distance to all of the shops, dining, and history of Beaufort, yet removed from the crowds. Daily sightings of Carrot Island horses was a bonus during our visit. Listing photos and descriptions were spot-on. We’ll definitely book Easy Plateau again when returning again Beaufort.

The best porch in Beaufort did not disappoint!

This home was fabulous, it was just as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked and equipped. There were little details tucked in all over that were so appreciated - noise cancelling machines, fans, bug spray, oils and a diffuser, make up wipes, etc. The view from the porch was amazing, we saw the horses right across the creek several times. We will be back!

Amazing Home and Hospitality

This is by far one of the nicest homes we have stayed at through VRBO. It was exceptionally clean and beautiful, the host had so many extra touches that made us feel so welcome and the location was perfect! It is close to downtown and is so convenient with the dock, if you are coming over with your boat. Great communication from the host and was very accessible if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this home!

Fantastic!

Couldn't ask for a better home base to explore Beaufort! This is a great house with a fantastic dock -- right on beautiful Taylor's Creek where you can see a variety of wildlife and tons of boat traffic. The house is great for a family, has a kitchen where you can cook and eat comfortably, and a front porch where a group can hang out and watch the water. A personal favorite was the Hemingway Room -- like a Man Cave for a seafarer! House is well-placed to go to downtown Beaufort. Excellent spot overall!

This was an absolutely perfect Beaufort cottage. We loved the Front St. location and felt like we were living in a Nicholas Sparks novel the entire time. Communication with Amy was excellent and the cottage is simply beautiful. The little touches throughout make it feel like home and it's evident this is a loved location.
