Welcome to The Delamar — Where Beaufort's History Lives, and Downtown Is Right Outside the Door.

There are houses that are near downtown Beaufort. And then there is The Delamar — a registered historic home on Turner Street, one block from the center of it all and two blocks from the waterfront on Front Street, where the wild horse ferry departs, where the restaurants spill onto the sidewalk on warm evenings, and where the particular magic of one of the South's most beautiful coastal towns announces itself at every turn.

The Delamar Gibble House was built in 1866 — the same era that shaped the historic district that surrounds it, the same streets that have earned Beaufort its reputation as one of the most architecturally and culturally significant small towns on the North Carolina coast. The house has been lovingly reimagined with vibrant luxury decor, updated finishes, and a Hallman chef's kitchen that would be remarkable in a restaurant, let alone a vacation rental — but the bones, the proportions, the front porch with its two swings, and the sense that this house has stories worth knowing are entirely, irreducibly original.

Four bedrooms. Four private en-suite bathrooms. A prestigious dining room with wallpaper that earns its own reaction when you walk in. A reading nook that makes the house feel like a home rather than a rental. Twin firepits in the fenced side yard for the evenings that belong outside. And a location that puts the best of downtown Beaufort within a two-block walk in any direction.

This is the house for the group that wants Beaufort done properly — not from a condo on the outskirts, not from a property that requires a golf cart to reach anything worth doing, but from a historic Turner Street address that puts the waterfront, the restaurants, the shops, the Maritime Museum, and the ferry to the wild horses within an easy walk before the morning coffee is finished.

🏛️ The History — The Delamar Gibble House, 1866

At a glance: Registered historic home · Built 1866 · Named the Delamar Gibble House · Part of Beaufort's historic district · Original architectural character preserved · Thoughtfully updated throughout · The house that has earned its place on Turner Street for over 150 years

The Delamar Gibble House has stood on Turner Street since 1866 — through the Reconstruction era, through the twentieth century, through every chapter of Beaufort's evolution from working fishing port to one of the most celebrated historic towns on the Southern coast. It is a registered historic home, which means its architectural character and its place in the fabric of the Beaufort historic district are recognized and protected.

What the registration does not mean is that the house is frozen in amber. The Delamar has been thoughtfully updated — the kitchen is a serious modern culinary space, the bathrooms are fresh and well-appointed, the decor is vibrant and contemporary. But the proportions of the rooms, the front porch that faces Turner Street, the way the light moves through the house in the afternoon, and the sense of permanence and place that only a building with 150 years of history can carry — those are entirely original and entirely irreplaceable.

The art throughout the house was chosen to complement both the history of the structure and the culture of Beaufort — the maritime heritage, the coastal landscape, the particular Southern charm of a town that has been drawing visitors for generations and keeps earning the attention. Staying at The Delamar is not just renting a house in downtown Beaufort. It is staying in a piece of it.

📍 The Location — Turner Street, One Block From Everything

At a glance: Turner Street, Beaufort historic district · 1 block from downtown Beaufort center · 2 blocks from Front Street waterfront · Wild horse ferry walkable · NC Maritime Museum walkable · Waterfront dining walkable · The most coveted address in downtown Beaufort for a vacation rental

Turner Street sits at the heart of the Beaufort historic district — and The Delamar's address on it is, quite simply, one of the best vacation rental positions in downtown Beaufort. One block from the center of the action. Two blocks from Front Street and the waterfront. The wild horse ferry to Shackleford Banks, the NC Maritime Museum, the waterfront restaurants, the boutique shops, and the particular magic of Beaufort's Front Street at golden hour — all of it within a two-block walk from the front porch swings.

For a group of eight who came to experience downtown Beaufort rather than drive to it, this address removes every friction between where they are sleeping and where they want to be. Walk out the front door, turn toward the waterfront, and Beaufort is immediately, completely available.
Morehead City's working waterfront is 10 minutes by car for fresh seafood dinners and the Big Rock Landing energy. Atlantic Beach is 15 minutes for beach days. The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is 20 minutes. Fort Macon State Park is 25 minutes. But the primary destination — the reason a group books

The Delamar over any other property on the Crystal Coast — is downtown Beaufort, and it is right outside the door.

🍳 The Hallman Kitchen — A True Chef's Space in a Historic Home

At a glance: Hallman luxury range · 5-burner gas stove · Center griddle plate · Dual ovens · Heat lamps · All kitchen appliances and essentials · Fully stocked · The kitchen that takes a group meal from a chore to an experience · Compact but complete

The kitchen at The Delamar is not the largest room in the house — historic homes rarely are — but it is one of the most seriously equipped vacation rental kitchens on the Crystal Coast, and the centerpiece is a Hallman luxury range that earns its place in the room before you've turned on a single burner.

Five gas burners. A center griddle plate for the mornings when the group wants a proper breakfast. Dual ovens for the evenings when one isn't enough. Heat lamps to keep dishes warm while the rest of the meal finishes. Every kitchen appliance, utensil, and essential stocked before you arrive. This is the kitchen for the guest who actually cooks — who wants to source fresh seafood from Morehead City's waterfront in the morning and prepare it properly in the evening, who appreciates a gas range over an electric one, and who understands that a Hallman stove in a vacation rental is genuinely unusual and genuinely worth using.

An important note before your first meal: The range is gas. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the operation before your first use — the welcome guide inside The Delamar includes specific instructions. Gas ranges require care and attention, particularly in an older home. If you have any questions about operating the stove safely, Haylee's team is available immediately.

The kitchen is compact — this is the honest trade-off of a historic home where the proportions were set 150 years ago. Everything needed for a full meal is present. The counter space rewards an organized cook. The Hallman range rewards anyone who takes the time to use it properly.

🍽️ The Dining Room — The Room That Sets the Tone

At a glance: Seats 8 · Vibrant statement wallpaper · Prestige dining space · Connected to the kitchen · The room that makes a group dinner feel like an occasion · Art and decor that honors Beaufort's history and character

The dining room at The Delamar is the room that stops guests at the door. The vibrant statement wallpaper — bold, considered, and entirely intentional — makes the space feel like it belongs in an upscale Southern restaurant rather than a vacation rental dining room. The table seats eight, which means the full group gathers here for the meals worth sitting down for — and at The Delamar, with that wallpaper and that kitchen next door, most meals are.

The art in this room, as throughout the house, was chosen to complement the history of the structure and the character of Beaufort. Dinner at The Delamar is not a logistical exercise. It is the event the evening is organized around.

🪑 The Front Porch — The Most Beaufort Thing About This House

At a glance: Seating and porch swing · Turner Street views · The quintessential Beaufort morning · Coffee, conversation, and the sound of downtown waking up · The feature that makes this house feel like the South

If there is one feature of The Delamar that captures what Beaufort is — unhurried, gracious, historically rooted, and entirely unlike anywhere else on the Crystal Coast — it is the front porch. Two swings face Turner Street, and the morning ritual of coffee on the porch swing is the one that guests consistently describe as the moment the trip shifted from vacation to something more like the life they want to be living.

Turner Street is quiet in the mornings. The historic district stretches in every direction. The sound of downtown Beaufort waking up — the church bells, the birds in the live oaks, the first footsteps on the sidewalk — arrives gently and without urgency. The front porch swings are where that morning happens at The Delamar, and they are worth waking up for.

🔥 The Outdoor Spaces — Side Yard Firepits and a Private Backyard

At a glance: Fenced side yard · Twin firepits with outdoor seating · Private backyard · Grill · Outdoor hangout area · Not fully fenced in the back · The evening spaces that bring the group together

The Delamar has two distinct outdoor spaces — and together they handle every hour of the outdoor day from the afternoon to the late evening.

The fenced side yard is the social space — two firepits with outdoor seating arranged for the kind of easy, unhurried conversation that happens when a group of people is comfortable, warm, and in no particular hurry to be anywhere else. For bachelorette groups, friend reunions, and any gathering where the evening should linger, this is the outdoor room that earns those hours.

The private backyard handles the practical outdoor needs — a grill for cookouts, outdoor seating, and a hangout area that gives the group a second outdoor option when the side yard firepits are burning and someone wants a different kind of evening outside. The backyard is private but not fully fenced — worth knowing for guests traveling with dogs or young children who need a fully enclosed outdoor space.

🛌 Four Bedrooms — Every Guest With Their Own Private Bathroom

At a glance: Bedroom 1 — queen, en-suite shower · Bedroom 2 — king, en-suite shower, dedicated workspace · Bedroom 3 — queen, en-suite shower · Bedroom 4 — king, en-suite shower, ground floor, Smart TV · All-cotton linens throughout · Remote ceiling fan controls in every room · Plenty of clothes storage in every bedroom · Each bedroom labeled by number

Four bedrooms. Four private en-suite bathrooms. No sharing, no scheduling, no waiting. For a group of eight, this is the configuration that turns a house stay from a logistical negotiation into something genuinely comfortable — every guest with their own bathroom, every bedroom with its own personality, and every door labeled with its number so the house feels personal rather than institutional.

Bedroom 1 — First Floor Queen
Queen bed, private en-suite bathroom with shower, remote ceiling fan, all-cotton linens, generous clothes storage — the ground floor option for guests who prefer to avoid stairs or want to be closer to the kitchen and the dining room action.

Bedroom 2 — King with Dedicated Workspace
King bed, private en-suite bathroom with shower, dedicated workspace — the bedroom for the guest who needs a proper place to work without leaving the house. Remote ceiling fan, all-cotton linens, generous clothes storage.

Bedroom 3 — Queen
Queen bed, private en-suite bathroom with shower, remote ceiling fan, all-cotton linens, generous clothes storage — the quiet, well-appointed room for guests who want their own space without the primary suite footprint.

Bedroom 4 — King, Ground Floor
King bed, private en-suite bathroom with shower, Smart TV, remote ceiling fan, all-cotton linens — the ground-floor king suite that anchors the first level of the house. The only bedroom with a Smart TV, giving this room a slightly different character from the upstairs bedrooms.

All-Cotton Linens and Smart Controls Throughout
Every bedroom at The Delamar is outfitted with all-cotton linens — the detail that separates a properly considered house from a rental that bought the cheapest sheets available. Remote-operated ceiling fans in every room mean no one has to get out of bed to adjust the airflow. Both details are small. Neither is incidental.

📚 The Living Spaces — Conversation Room, Reading Nook, and a Second Living Room Upstairs

At a glance: Conversation living room — first floor, connected to dining and kitchen · Reading nook — first floor, the quiet corner · Second living room — upstairs, Smart TV, the group gathering space · Two distinct indoor living options · The house that has a room for every mood

The Delamar has living spaces for every mood a group of eight generates across a week in Beaufort.

The first-floor conversation living room is exactly what the name implies — a room arranged for talking rather than watching, connected to the dining room and the kitchen, the natural gathering point for the hours between arrival and dinner. The reading nook is the quiet corner — tucked, intimate, and the kind of space that the voracious reader in every group discovers on day one and quietly claims for the rest of the trip.

Upstairs, the second living room has the first of the house's two Smart TVs — the group movie night room, the rainy afternoon room, the space that brings everyone to the same floor when the evening calls for togetherness rather than the dispersed independence that four private bedrooms naturally encourage.
