About Our Hotel

For almost four decades Inlet Inn has been the top choice of travelers sojourning to Beaufort.

Inlet Inn has 36 large, comfortable rooms, many with their own private waterfront porch and rocking chairs. Several first-floor rooms even have working fireplaces, perfect for cool, romantic evenings. All rooms are furnished with original Lexington NC manufactured Link-Taylor pine furniture—now considered antiques and prized collectibles. Our hotel offers a fourth-floor Widow’s Walk Balcony and communal lounge featuring a grand piano, ready to host an intimate event up to fifty guests. You’ll also find peace in our quiet courtyard garden.

Meanwhile, for those who’d like to snooze and cruise, Inlet Inn is only a few steps from sailing adventures and water taxi services to Shackleford Banks, Cape Lookout National Seashore and Lighthouse, and Carrot Island’s Rachel Carson Reserve—all offering half-day trips for an unforgettable experience with nature. But you don’t have to take a sailing adventure to experience the natural world—dolphins and wild horses are a familiar sight from Inlet Inn’s porches.  

Historic Downtown

Inlet Inn’s waterfront location lies in the middle of the historic district. Explore by foot, bike, or golf cart. Mere steps from Inlet Inn you will find wonderful restaurants and shops. Also check out the North Carolina Maritime Museum and boat-building exhibit, a fascinating burying ground dating back to 1731, and the Beaufort Historic Site. Walk tree-lined streets featuring restored colonial homes threading the historic fabric of Beaufort. After that, retrace the footsteps of ancient mariners or Blackbeard’s legendary band of pirates.

Whether from the comfort of your rocking chair, a cozy third-floor window seat, or Widow’s Walk Balcony, you will enjoy one of the best views on the East coast from our hotel. Soon after morning arrives, we’ll deliver you a continental breakfast with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, toasted bagels, and hot muffins to get you started for your next adventure.
