Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' With more than a century of seafaring history woven into its walls, The Front Porch on Ann Street is full of the timeless atmosphere of charming downtown Beaufort. It's a place for beautiful days of exploring and balmy afternoons spent rocking on the front porch, watching the neighborhood pass you by. One of the wonderful features of this house is its storied history, dating back to Captain Jack Parkins and his wife, Emily, who moved the house - by barge - from Adam's Creek to its present location after marrying in 1902. In the century since the home rolled on logs across Front Street, it has remained in the Parkins-Lewis family as Beaufort has grown up around it. The heart of town is half a mile west, home to an array of restaurants and shops, the Island Express Ferry Service, and the North Carolina Maritime Museum. Sunlight seems to find every corner of the house, thanks to generous windows that line both floors. Linger on the porch swing or the rocking chairs out front, fire up the gas grill, or step inside to either the living room or family room to bask in the comfort of central air conditioning. Prepare family meals in the well-equipped kitchen, sit down for dinner in the formal dining room, and bring coffee and dessert to the yard out back to enjoy in the shade of mature trees. In the evenings, take a sunset bike ride, watch movies on the TV, log onto the WiFi to catch up on email at one of several desk workspaces, and get a sound night's sleep in the four inviting bedrooms upstairs.

Beds were terrible. Bedding (sheets) is old, thin, synthetic , slippery and just plain cheap. Lots of bugs and roaches inside and out. Mosquitos in the back yard are epic! I wouldn't recommend staying there to anyone until some things are upgraded and the bugs are addressed. ##### John F. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Beth M.

Mar 12, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Terrible management/ Cute house The first night of our stay we found dropping, appeared to be rat, in the cabinet above the stove while cooking. We alerted management, a “ticket” was created, and the issue was never resolved. The morning of our first full day we discovered the toilet was leaking in the downstairs bathroom. Again, we alerted management, a “ticket” was created, and the issue was never resolved. Since we had an unsanitary kitchen that was never cleaned, a bathroom that could not be used and had paid full price; we asked for a price reduction. Management ignored our request. ##### Maegen S.
