Class and comfort at a great price

M girlfriend and I only stayed at The Pecan Tree for one night, due to schedules and what not. But that one night was among the best since we started dating. The innkeeper's wife showed us around the place, which had a nice touch of modern and colonial times mixed together.
Our room was cimpletely immaculate (save for the loose door handle on the main door and the bathroom--leaving us to put something in front of the bathroom door to make sure it stayed closed). The innkeepers were extremely kind and helpful. When we had breakfast, the owner's wife came out and checked on us to make sure we were entirely comfortable. And it was nice to simply hang around and talk to her about her recipes for her sweetbread (which, by the way was wonderful). Not only this, but having a cool sea breeze blowing in the air as we ate and talked made for a setting that neither of us will ever forget.
We had some uninvited guests to the inn the night that we stayed, but the innkeeper and his wife came up the next morning after ahving numerous complaints about said guests and took immediate action on it. That shows that they really care about the inn and its guests.
The inn itself is right at the waterfront at the Bogue Sound, which opens to the Atlantic at an inlet on the sound. For those romantics out there, watching the sun set and rise on the sound is romance at its best.
The morning that we left Beaufort, and the Pecan Tree, neither of us wanted to leave becasue we had so fallen in love with it all. That being said, the Pecan Tree is more than worth the cost of their rooms. Anyone who goes will want to go back time and again, year after year.
