If you haven't been to CALYPSO COTTAGE, at the corner of Orange and Cedar in Beaufort, NC, you're in for an unexpected and wonderful treat - so give yourself plenty of time to browse...you won't want to leave...making sure you haven't missed anything!

A small sampling of some of the shops' unique collections is included here - to entice you to see much more...

So, who's behind this Beaufort treasure? - Pete and Stacie Meislohn. With over 30 combined years of high-end retail sales, the two hands-on proprietors bring a sophisticated yet laid back vibe to CALYPSO COTTAGE. For the last 15 years Pete managed the Hampton's most popular nursery- Eastland Farms - known for its six acres of unusual plant material and knowledgeable help. Stacie had her first shop, Cheznu, in Palm Beach at the age of 19 and went on to a career in high-fashion and precious jewelry working for such names as Courreges, Yves Saint Laurent and Tiffany. When a family reunion brought them to Beaufort, the idea of opening a little shop that would carry their favorite finds...newly discovered treasures...Stacie's one-of-a-kind jewelry, and an ever changing array of "must haves" took shape.

Open since March 2007, CALYPSO COTTAGE has brought Classic Coastal Decor and a touch of the Hamptons to the coast of North Carolina.

Now housed in TWO adorable 1935 Beaufort cottages, CALYPSO COTTAGE features "refined coastal style" with it's signature take on living well.

The two shops are full of new finds - arriving each day!
The new enclosed Garden Room is a "must see."
