Cedars by the Sea is a unique and charmingly beautiful location for romantic get-aways, anniversary celebrations, birthdays, receptions, business retreats, dinners, and other special events. The Cedars in Beaufort has been watching over the harbor of this historical port town for more than two hundred years. Built circa 1768, the original portion of the inn was the home of William Borden, son of a Rhode Island shipwright and gracious host to visiting sea captains trading along the Eastern Seaboard. From the beautifully appointed rooms and suites, furnished with private baths, antique tubs, and fireplaces, you will wake up to the aroma of sizzling bacon, freshly brewed coffee, and a variety of wonderful breakfast creations.
