The Carolina Experience specializes in unique stays that blend authentic local culture with one-of-a-kind accommodations. By showcasing historic properties and connecting guests to the surrounding community, we create more than just a stay—we create a story to remember.

Just steps from the heart of historic downtown Edenton, Captain’s Quarters offers a warm, welcoming stay in one of North Carolina’s most beloved waterfront towns. This charming eight-room bed & breakfast was tastefully renovated in Spring 2022, preserving its cozy character while adding fresh, modern touches for today’s traveler. Each guest room is uniquely styled, featuring comfortable furnishings, inviting décor, and a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. An on-site innkeeper ensures your stay is seamless and special — from helpful local tips to the daily highlight: a delicious homemade breakfast served next door at our sister property, the Granville Queen Inn, each morning in the dining room or on the sunny porch. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a solo retreat, or to take in Edenton’s storied history and scenic waterfront, Captain’s Quarters offers a peaceful, personalized place to call home.

Discover Edenton, a historic waterfront town where charm meets culture. Stroll the picturesque downtown filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, and locally loved restaurants along the wharf. Explore iconic lighthouses, take a trolley or walking tour through centuries of history, and enjoy the welcoming small-town spirit that makes Edenton one of North Carolina’s most delightful destinations.
