- "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."

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."

- "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."

- "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."
