We stayed in the Crow's Nest. This beautiful room was designed with a ship in mind. The walls and ceiling were paneled with wood. You had to climb to the top of the house, but it was worth it! We had a VERY early morning appointment to sail. Nevertheless, we had a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and omelettes. They stored our bikes and luggage while we sailed. In the evening, we enjoyed a happy hour with craft beers and wine. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

I found this place on airbnb.com while trying to find a place in Beaufort, NC for the 4th of July…read moreweekend. This was the closest thing open and after a bit of research on Oriental, I just decided to check out the town and the Croaker Festival instead of using it as a home base for Beaufort (about an hour or so away). The Captain's Quarters was such a beautiful place to stay. I was apprehensive because their website is old and the information wasn't quite the same as it was on airbnb.com. I got ahold of the manager, Linda, and that helped. The place used to be a traditional B&B, but now it is just a place to stay with a kitchen you can cook in. I stayed in the Blue Room, and it was clean and beautiful. I had a little en suite bathroom with a shower. Right outside my room was a side door to the wrap around porch, an amenity that I took full advantage of while I was there. There was only one other couple staying in the Quarters while I was there, so the house was super quiet. It is an old Victorian, so there are creaky floor boards and my door was a bit difficult to open and shut depending on the humidity. One of the greatest things about this place is the location. It's right across the street from the Old Theater, and just a short walk to the harbor. I went for the Croaker Festival and it was great to have a place so close to everything without being right in the center of all the activity. If I ever get down to Oriental again, I know where I'll be staying.

Hubs and I went back to The Moss House recently. My review, nor the stars have changed, but…read moresometimes when I am looking through reviews of other places, I like to read the most recent in case things have changed a bit. Well, nothing has changed, except maybe it is better, although I am unsure how that is possible. Becky is truly one of the most gracious hostesses ever! Each room is just as welcoming and warm for your arrival. Your name awaits you on the door, and a piece of chocolate is calling your name from the nightstand beside the bed. Water, and other beverages are in the fridge in the foyer/hallway upstairs outside of the rooms, with any extra amenities you may want to use, such as when you forget your toothpaste, or if you want to use the iron, etc. We went in December so the house was so eloquently decorated for Christmas. Becky always accommodates any special needs or requests for breakfast, such as nut allergies and hubs and I being vegetarian since the last time I frequented the Moss House. Becky is also always equipped with local restaurant recommendations, as well as fun things to do in the area. A little extra thing that I love, The Moss House has it's own little soap in the bathroom. They leave you a little bag to take the soap that remains home with you, so (1), you are not wasting soap by leaving it and it getting thrown away, and (2) You can enjoy the herbal soap at home, because it truly smells amazing! We've now stayed in all of the rooms available and I truly love each room. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in any of them as they are all wonderfully accommodating and cozy!

I can't enough about the wonderful time I had at The Moss House. I visited Washington, NC with my…read moreboyfriend over the Memorial Day holiday and we both had a great time. Washington is a sleepy town but very pretty and peaceful. The Moss House had pleasant large rooms with modern amenities and lots of old fashioned charm. Our hosts went above and beyond to help us book dinner reservations and a sunset river cruise. They even had chocolate cupcakes to celebrate my boyfriends birthday! The rooms were very comfortable and really inviting. But the reason I will be returning? The breakfast! Both mornings the breakfast was interesting and made wonderful use of the local produce. There was plenty of fruit and local vegetables and we both indulged our sweet tooths with the pastries and sweet rolls! A fabulous find in a sleepy little town!

Pulling up to this impressive historic gem, the first thing that strikes you is its grandeur. It is…read moreone of the largest historic houses on the street with a gorgeous wrap around front porch with plenty of comfortable seating, It sits proudly on a slight rise overlooking this beautiful historical street. Walking into this house feels like stepping back in time. As you push open the heavy wooden door, the scent of aged wood fills the air. The wide-plank wooden floors creak underfoot, worn smooth by years of footsteps, yet beautifully maintained. The open foyer leads you to one of the many warm and comfortable seating rooms. Most importantly the main dining room is straight ahead, where you will enjoy not just breakfast, but a moment of indulgence, crafted with skill and passion by the owners themselves. The staircase which I would describe as the "The Gilded Climb" takes you to the second floor where many of the beautiful bedrooms are located, fully equipped with all of the amenities you would need. And if you like sleeping on a cloud, you're going to sleep like a baby in those beds. The Elmwood Bed & Breakfast Inn is not just a Bed & Breakfast, Richard and John run a boutique hotel. Feel free to choose the time and location for your morning coffee or tea, you can also do the same for your breakfast. The bar / lounge is also a great place to enjoy one of the many complimentary drinks offered, and for happy hour there is even more. It's not just a place to stay, it is an experience, a very fine one at that. Cheers!

Prices are totally reasonable and include a DELICIOUS homemade breakfast (one of the best quiches I can remember in recent memory!). The rooms are well furnished and contain many personal touches. They feel rather like staying in a friend's guest room, or maybe a friend's grown daughter's former bedroom. I found the room we stayed in charming; but this may be a pro or a con to you depending on your tastes. All rooms have ensuite baths. One room has a Jacuzzi, but we didn't stay in that one. The town itself is rather small, and you'll need to go outside it to find any lasting entertainment. But nonetheless, this is the place to stay if you find yourself in Belhaven.
