Pecan Tree Inn, The, Beaufort

Peacefull break without being isolated. Brought back memories of homeland (Scotland) type of village accomodation. Several quality eating places within easy walk. Inn owners friendly and easy going....matched only by guide on London Red Bus tour of village. In fact all Town people friendly and happy to have visitors share their Town. Forgot about work for four days...glad we picked Pecan Tree Inn

In the middle of Historic Downtown Beaufort, this beautiful old B&B provides a comfortable and beautiful night's rest with a delicious array of breakfast including fruit; whole grain and white breads complimented with butter/margerine, jams and peanut butter; multiple brands and flavors of yogurts; cereal and granola; hardboiled eggs; coffee, tea, milk and water. The owners are courteous, informational, helpful and with excellent customer service. They have available brochures about all the downtown attractions and sites to visit for the history lover. While there, be sure to visit the Beaufort Maritime Museum and all the historic grounds Beaufort has to offer. The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is a great place to visit.

Of the many B&Bs I have stayed at, this is the best. Innkeeper Dave was helpful and curteous, even going the extra distance to email me his recipe for one of the exceptional breads served at breakfast. Our room was cozy and spotless, and we had balconies with rocking chairs from which to enjoy the breezes and the gardens below. Outstanding accommodations, and a suprisingly good value. We will return!

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at the Pecan Tree Inn. I made reservations over the phone and 10 minutes later the owner called me back and said that while he had been taking my reservation someone else had booked the same room online. So we stayed the first night in one room and then were upgraded to a bigger, better room for the next 2 nights at the same cost as the first room! The Inn was pretty and it was clean. The Innkeeper was friendly and helpful without being suffocating. The breakfast was more than ample and it was delicious. We were a 60 second walk from the water! Two of the best restaurants in town were right across the street from us. Beaufort is a small, historic town with a very laid back vibe. There is plenty to do - kayaking, boat tours, biking, fishing, shopping, fine dining and fun dining. There was live music on the boardwalk in the evening and people gathered around or stopped to listen for a few minutes during their evening stroll. It was the perfect mini vacation. We are already planning our next visit and we will definitely return to the Pecan Tree Inn.

Owners were super helpful and very nice. Quiet and peaceful, plenty of homey complementary services--bicycles, boardgames, etc. Clean and comfortable. One of the prettiest inns in Beaufort. Great experience!

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.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay! The Pecan Tree is very comfortable and ideally located to explore Beaufort and the surrounding area - we visited MCAS Cherry Pt., where I had been stationed 25 years earlier. Dave and Allison are ideal hosts, thoughtful and helpful. They obviously enjoy interacting with their guests and are responsive to reasonable requests. They serve a nourishing continental breakfast that launches you, ready for the day. The house combines authentic Beaufort ambiance with comfort and cleanliness. It is within walking distance of restraunts and historical sites. So, go, stay, and enjoy, but I warn you that if you sample the complimentary pecan brittle on the buffet, you will add the cost of several boxes to your payment when you checkout!! Bob, USMC(Ret)

My husband and I have been staying at the Pecan Tree Inn for many years. It has been our favorite spot near the beach.We have enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and the wonderful breakfast. We have even taken family there on several occasions and they have all been very satisfied. We have even made close friends with a couple from England who were staying there. With the summer season here we will be spending many weekends there. We don't even check the other B&B's in Beaufort when we can get reservations there. It is like a home away from home for us. We even have our favorite room. I give this Inn 5 stars without hesitation and recommend it to others. Also I can always count on the cleanliness of the Inn which is very important to me. The bed linens are always new and fresh and the towels are fluffy and not worn. There is a young lady there who cleans and helps with running the Inn who is very helpful and friendly.The owners have always been there when we needed something. Also the Inn is very beautiful to just be in and tastefully decorated. It reminds me of a Sea Captain's home. Again, I do not hesitate to recommend this Inn. Jim and Nancy Burke

That other review motivated me to write my own review, since that review gives such an incorrect view of the Pecan Tree Inn. I've been visiting the Inn for several years, sometimes alone, but often with my biking group. It has always (repeat: always) been a wonderful experience. The owners are very nice, and go out of their way to make sure that guests are comfortable and happy with their visit. The rooms are very nice, and the breakfasts are terrific. I strongly recommend the Inn for those who like a nice, relaxed vacation.
