Great week!

We would recommend this place to others. It is well taken care of and is spotless. Many amenities are provided and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt that everything was close by.

Excellent Location and Adorable!

The property is small but mighty! You can walk to any location downtown AND it is cozy and decorated fabulously. The AC works better than any rental I’ve ever had (and it was not set low)! The yard is icing on the cake! Beds are super comfortable!!!

This was a great property in a good location in the historic section of Swansboro. Great cottage. While it didn’t change our rating, the bathtub was hard to get into. The shower was not what we expected, but we made do. The host was very good and responsive to any questions.

Beautiful Home and City

Beautiful home in a great location. This was my family's first trip to Swansboro for a baseball tournament and each time we arrived back at the house it was so comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed the porch and yard, walks to the water, to dinner, shops and the candy store. My kids are already asking if we can visit again.

Weekend Getaway

Everything was awesome. The property owner (Tammy) was easy to contact and replied almost simultaneously to any question. Tammy had a plate of local Strawberries when we arrived which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Location was great and plenty things to do within a 25 miles radius. The cottage is decorated as you would expect for a beach getaway. At the top of our list when we go back..10+ star rating!
