- "My mother has lived in Swansboro since 1993. Her current home is on the smaller side. My two sisters and I wanted to visit with her along with our kids (her grandkids) for her 80th birthday. It is extremely difficult to get everyone together but this house made it possible. It’s no where near the beach, but that’s not what we were looking for in a rental. This house made it easy to entertain and there are no steps to entry other than a couple of inches from the sidewalk to the first floor, which allowed my 80 year old mother to enter for a visit with all of her kids and grandkids in a comfortable environment. It was perfect for this purpose. Thank you to the owner and the property manager, both of who were very nice and responsive. "

Step off the back porch and onto your PRIVATE dock!!! Watch the egrets soar, hear the rustle of wind in the marsh, and smell the salt air!
This adorable cottage by the sea has been here more than 100 years, and is just as adorable today as it was when it was built. It's got a wonderful open layout, with a nice deck and back yard that leads to your private dock! The side porch is a great place to sit and relax in the shade
Inside you will find a huge kitchen, with tons of working space, a cozy living room and 50” tv.
There is one bedroom on the main level with a queen bed, and a twin bed. There’s a full bath, washer and dryer on this level.
Upstairs you will find two light filled bedrooms and a full bath between them.
The bedroom overlooking the water has a king sized bed, and the one overlooking the street has a queen.
High end towels and linens, comfortable beds, black out curtains - we want you to love your stay here.
Large back deck with a gas grill, private dock that you can moor your boat!
Well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer. This is a cute home, built in 1910. It's survived most of the hurricanes and is packed with history. It's steps from downtown Swansboro, and you can walk to almost everything. The home has been in my family more than 50 years, and it's got a great feel.
BEACH ACCESS: The closest beach with "waves" is Emerald Isle. Its about a 20 minute drive. You can take a private charter to "bear island" aka Hammocks Beach State Park on the Lady Swan for a minimal fee. There is also the NC State Ferry that you can take to Hammocks Beach State Park, google for all the info.
BOAT RAMP: The boat ramp (NC Wildlife ramp) is about a mile from the house, very convenient for launching and retrieving the boat or jet ski!
BOATERS: Dock info. The dock is private. It has about 2 feet of water at low tide and 6 feet at high tide. It's easy to access from the ICW. You need to make certain the tower/console will fit under the White Oak River Bridge. It has about 6 feet of clearance from waterline to bridge at high tide. Most boats under 26' don't have any problems.

- "The cottage was everything described and more. We used the beach chairs one day to meet family on the beach for a lovely day! We walked to several restaurants and shops and we had one of the most relaxing enjoyable vacations ever." - "This is our second time renting the property. The house is simply perfect for a family of four and could easily accommodate six. It's very clean and we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The views from the property are beautiful. We enjoyed coffee and sunrises on the dock and a game of horseshoes in the yard. The kitchen is well-appointed and it was great to be able to do a load of laundry before heading home. There are several grocery stores nearby. It's a quick walk under the bridge to Old Town Swansboro. We ate dinner while enjoying live music at the Boro, grabbed coffee at the upstairs coffee shop, and did plenty of shopping. We didn't pull out the kayak but were happy it was there and saw several people out on the water in front of our house throughout the week. While the house sits on the main road, it's very quiet inside. Its location is also perfect for heading over to Emerald Isle too. Can't recommend it enough."

- "Stayed in Swansboro for a short weekend at the beach. Well open lamin Tony for communication. The entire time. Will definitely stay again" - "The property is on the 2nd floor of a commercial building, and it feels like you are in a big home on the water when you look out the windows at a more than 180-degree elevated view of the waterway. It is very comfortable with a large open kitchen and living room area that opens to a wrap-around porch. You can sip coffee from the porch and admire the view and then pop down to the park and fish off the public dock where we caught a lot of bluefish. The By the Bridge restaurant downstairs is very convenient and has a good cuban sandwich. We had a great stay exploring Swansboro."

It was super neat to stay in one of the historic homes in Swansboro, and see these old homes being so well cared for. I have read a few things about the air conditioning. It got warm sometimes (stayed in September), and I bet it'd get cold in there in the winter too. Plan accordingly."

- "Loved being able to have a home to have dinner with our extended families" - "A very nice and cozy townhouse that was roomy with a lot of things packed for us. The neighborhood is quiet and very rare to see people out except for walking pets and such. Wildlife is very limited so safe to walk our dog at night. 15 minutes away from the beach and in walking distance to a McDonalds & more food was super convenient. Would stay again if I'm ever in Swansboro."

In Swansboro's historic district, this cottage built by a sea captain, exudes charm + nostalgia while boasting the comfort of modern amenities. It underwent a total renovation in 2024. On the waterfront of the Intracoastal Waterway + adjacent to the historical landmark Poor Man's Hole, it offers direct water access on two sides with pier and boat lift. Adjacent to the restaurants + special attractions of the downtown, this is a rare opportunity to stay in a historic yet transformed modern gem.
- "Was a beautiful spot to stay and the town had plenty of shopping and dining options. The host left an amazing welcome packet that had good information on where to eat and where to go. " - "This property was beautiful! Everything looked exactly as pictured, and the decoration was gorgeous. We loved the location as we had access to our own pier and were literally only a 3 minute walk from the little downtown. The check in process was super easy, and the hosts had left a few things for us like hygiene products, wine, popcorn, and coffee pods. Being only 15 minutes from Emerald Isle was lovely, and we did the Lady Swan Sunset cruise which boarded only 3 minutes from our house."
