And yet, of all the places I have been, few can match the charm and service of this wonderful couple and this establishment. "Charming coastal" is indeed accurate as another reviewer noted, but so is kind and engaging. At least, that is how I found the host Kim, who is the hostess during your stay. The rooms are modest in size but well appointed and comfy with a wonderful balcony to enjoy a morning coffee and watch the city wake up. The highlight of each morning was the breakfast together. The breakfast is served at 9 sharp and is served with the other guests. It makes for not only a delicious breakfast, but Kim uses it as an opportunity to help direct, guide, and suggest places nearby that meet your interests. This is great as it means you get insider tips and ways to optimize your stay by taking the guesswork out--particularly when you have a small window for activities (we were only there for a few days). In the evenings, Kim hosts a happy hour which includes helping guests secure reservations and dinner plans settled before you go. This is not just a recommendation by Kim--she actively calls and secures the spots and confirms them with you. True concierge service! Setting aside the wonderful host and the rooms, the location is superb. We were there over the weekend, and there is a delightful Saturday market literally ACROSS the street filled with vendors of all varieties. Warming: it is easy to spend. ;) The entirety of the downtown is merely a block away with shops, restaurants, and bars galore along with the cruises, sports fishing, and recreation just a short walk down the road. Bottom line: I adored this place and have already recommended it to friends and family here in Durham (where we live) and beyond. If you can swing it (it is worth every penny) and want to give yourself or your partner a weekend to remember, I cannot more strongly recommend the Inn on Turner.

The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful during my stay. I stayed in a 2nd-floor waterfront room again, and although I didn't use the balcony as much as I had in summer, the views out the windows were still lovely, and I got to see a few sunsets. My room was large and had a king-sized bed, a couch, a table with two chairs, a good-sized flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker. A dehumidifier was in the room, but it was less humid this time of year, so it didn't need to be emptied. Shampoo, soap and lotion were provided. The products were good quality, and I remembered to bring my own conditioner, and I am not sure why it isn't provided. I was pleased that the wifi was working on this trip, as that has been an issue on each of my previous visits. The tv lineup also had more selection. They may have switched providers for more reliable service. The heater in the room kept the room hot, it got a little too hot at times and it was just set on 63 but that made the room closer to 75. The lowest the wall unit went was 58. I couldn't find a way to shut off the ceiling fan. The bathroom could have used more attention with the cleaning. The showerhead had a lot of buildup and didn't appear to have been cleaned for months; black mold on the shower tiles and the floor could use a cleaning. It could use a deep cleaning or remodel, as the toilet was outdated and used a lot of water. Breakfast was served between 7:30 and 9:30. You could get tea or coffee, OJ, and a bagel or yogurt. It came fast this visit on the days I called for it. I left early on my last day, so I wasn't there for breakfast. They used to include the yogurt too. With the high room prices here, I hope the bathrooms are updated and cleaned, and that the breakfast options improve.

The staff were friendly and prompt to greet us upon check-in; the lobby is large and tidy. The rooms are well kept and spacious. We chose a suite room with a water view and weren't disappointed. It was super nice with a full kitchen and large living room in addition to a spacious room and bathroom. Beautiful views and nice size balconies round out the experience. Only two things quickly to note: 1) The balconies are lovely, but we had a weird experience with little finches getting caught between the concrete of the balcony edge and the gap between the clear plexiglass. We ended up rescuing 2 birds in the same morning, so hoping that doesn't happen frequently. Poor birds. 2) The breakfast is a bit sparse and comes off as somewhat cheap. Lovely to have it delivered to your room, but the portions were super tiny and pretty sparse overall. I would've preferred a traditional continental breakfast. Minor quibble but ultimately does matter in guest satisfaction overall. Overall a really nice hotel, good location and very clear with a few quirks.

Our choice of parking and waling to the 6 bars was a smart idea. :) The Bask's location can not be beat if you need to be in downtown Morehead city. We had a great check-in experience and were able to park in the lot 3 hours before official time. Our room was on the 7th floor and overlooked the water. It gave us a great view of the intercoastal waterway and Atlantic Beach. It came with a small kitchen that we did not use except for the coffee maker. The room was clean and met our needs. As others have said the breakfast was less than ideal. We ordered the night before and it came to our room at the appointed time. Both of us ordered yogurt and neither of us got what we ordered. My "Blue Marlin-Bask Signature" breakfast was OK but the avocado cream cheese sauce was nothing more than a small cup of cream cheese with very little avocado on top. The assorted muffins were 2 muffins that may have come from Costco. Adequate, but nothing special. My partner ordered a custom sandwich which was nothing memorable and she did not eat it. In addition to her missing yogurt, she was missing banana bread with no substitution. Lucky that she ordered milk because there were no coffee fixings (sweetener, cream, etc..) of any kind for the Keurig. Would we come back? Sure, if we needed to stay in Morehead City but we would skip the breakfast and walk up to the Big Rock Cafe (formerly Grumpys) for a real breakfast.

We were greeted by an exceptionally warm valet attendant, welcoming, efficient, and genuinely great. While we ultimately chose not to use valet service, it was reassuring to know it was available. An added convenience: a nearby charging station within easy walking distance, where we parked with ease. Our first interaction by phone set the tone for the stay. A gracious front desk associate, her name may have been Valencia or Veronica (not sure) handled our check-in and made us feel both welcomed and valued. Despite arriving slightly ahead of schedule, she graciously accommodated an early check-in, a gesture that immediately elevated the experience. The hotel itself strikes a thoughtful balance between modern refinement and coastal tradition. Natural light pours through the public spaces, lending the interiors an airy, relaxed elegance. Our room was impeccably clean and well appointed, but it was the bathroom and sweeping water views that truly stood out peaceful, restorative, and unmistakably coastal. There were occasional sounds from the hallway and a few muffled bumps from above, curious given our top-floor location, though none disrupted our rest. During the holiday bustle, we did experience a couple of unanswered calls to the front desk, but the otherwise attentive service and seasonal demands made this understandable. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the addition of an on-site ice-skating rink offers a charming, unexpected touch especially for families. Overall, The Beaufort Hotel delivers a refined yet approachable stay, and it's one we would gladly return to.

Beaufort, North Carolina never even heard of it until I was told that this is where wedding was going to be take place. No one, not the bride, the groom, or anyone invited, is even from North Carolina so I really have no idea why my niece picked this place. No direct flights and it's a 3 1/2 hour drive from Raleigh. 85 people trecked from all over the country. The Hotel specializes in beautiful waterfront weddings. They offer a complete wedding package which includes discounted hotel rooms. Not sure I'd call it a discount. Instead of the normal rate of $375 we were offered the bargain price of $350. The hotel is nice. It has a small pool, a gym, and a very nice lobby. I'm not quite sure it warrants the price tag. As for the wedding, it was hot in the pavilion. It was on the water , but between the bride and groom and the entire wedding party, you couldn't really see the water. The reception was beautiful and I have to say they got the extra star because the food was excellent. A fresh seafood bar with fresh oysters, shrimp, clams and scallops, during the cocktail hour and a fabulous selection of passed hors d'oeuvres. Dinner was very good too. Roast Beef and Fish with a pasta and vegetables. Dessert bar was special... with a nice selection of cobblers, chocolate lava cake and ice cream. The evening was lovely and the hotel did a nice job.

The rooms were big and spotless and tastefully appointed. There were plenty of towels, snuggly beds, and many amenities in the room.

There's a huge lobby with wicker chairs for you to snuggle up and read or just watch the waves. The dining area is spacious and welcoming. The stay comes with a continental breakfast. Honestly, that could be better. For a nice Inn like this, it would be nice to have a better choice and quality of food: fresh, baked pastries and muffins, etc. but we had packaged and microwaved fare. They did have yogurt though. The front desk folks were super accommodating and pointed us to all the cool tourist attractions in the area. We had a wonderful stay here. Improve the food service and I'd give it 5 stars.

They have a large pool with lots of seating, tables, and umbrellas around the area (it's also a smoke-free zone by the poolside). There's a snack bar and a large water slide with water tubes. We're within walking distance of the beach! There's a bridge that leads us to the beach, and hoses to spray off sand when we come back. The beach has a lot of different, beautiful shells, and you can even find shark teeth since the Atlantic Ocean is warmer and more habitable for them than the Pacific Ocean is. The water is beautiful, blue, and clear, and the clouds are lower than what I'm used to, but it makes for some beautiful pictures. I was also able to take night walks by the beach while feeling safe -- it was quite therapeutic. There's a lot of amenities including mini golf, tennis, coloring pages for children, and more. Any of these equipment can be lent/given out to guests at the main office. They also have books/pamphlets with recommendations on attractions and places to eat nearby (there's one in the units as well). Always have your wristbands with you, especially when asking for things at the office, and while you're at the poolside, because they do check. There's also a good pullout bed in the couch in the living room. Each unit also has 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a kitchen with pots/pans/utensils/cups/glasses, a sizable living room and dining table, and a balcony. Everything was clean besides the balcony sliding glass door (it was blurry and smudged compared to last year). There was also a spare pillow and a sheets in the master bedroom, and a spare blanket in the room with a twin bed that had another pull out twin mattress underneath. Unfortunately a lot of things went wrong on this trip compared to last year. For some reason, our washer was shaking a lot, banging into the dryer, and at some points moving so much that we had to sit on it to stop it. It was loud enough that it sounded like someone was breaking into the unit, so we had to close two doors to muffle the noise. We also had problems with the stove -- mainly the front left burner. We kept having to wiggle the metal burner around a few times for it to work as it sometimes turned itself off (sometimes even after the first wiggle, while cooking). That burner in particular was pretty unreliable, took awhile to heat up, and sometimes even got hotter when I turned it down. The other burners worked but took long to heat up as well. There were also less amenities than last time -- no Tupperware, only one extra trash bag, only 1 measuring spoon, and 3 measuring cups. Our other family members' unit's refrigerator also stopped working a couple days in and their food spoiled. Someone had come to check on it but didn't fix it fully, said it looked fine, and let the ice box drain into the fridge. Some of the outlets were loose and one of them pulled out of the wall, but thankfully everything was sealed in the outlet box so it wasn't dangerous for the kiddos. All in all, the price of our 1-week stay for 13 people across 3 units was pretty good because of the timeshare. For those who are booking units for one-off vacations, though, the price is a little more than double what we spend. This is still a really great and beautiful resort to spend time at, but a lot more things went wrong this time around and it would be unfair for those who paid that much to have to deal with all of these issues. The family whose fridge broke thankfully could rely on us, but without another unit available, they couldn't really keep food refrigerated that week. I would've given them 4-5 stars last year but this year I'm rating it at 3.5 stars out of fairness for the regular prices. Hopefully, this doesn't happen again and all of these issues get fixed! I am more than happy to give a higher rating next year when issues like these get resolved.

Sounds like a health code violation to me! They are crazy about wearing bracelets with the hotel logo on it, kicked us out of the pool when my husband had them on the beach in the bag. Do they really think someone wants to sneak in to this rundown establishment? The pool is nothing to be desired. The toaster was broken and called 3x for a replacement and never received it.
