Our stay at this VRBO in Swansboro was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The home itself was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It was the perfect place to unwind, especially traveling with our dogs. One of the things that really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful the host was throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and even shared some amazing recommendations for local activities, restaurants, and great off-leash spots where we could let the dogs explore and enjoy themselves.The location was perfect for enjoying all the local charm Swansboro has to offer. Our first night, we cooked an amazing fresh seafood boil back at the house using shrimp and crab legs from Clyde Phillips Seafood Market. We paired it with fresh corn, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, and strawberries from Winberry Fruit & Veggies, and it honestly turned into one of our favorite vacation meals ever. Sitting around together enjoying fresh local seafood in such a cozy space made the evening unforgettable.On our second night, we had dinner at Il Cigno Italian Restaurant and sat outside by the water. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and it was another perfect recommendation from our host.This was honestly one of the best vacations I’ve had in a long time, and staying here meant zero regrets for us. Between the beautiful accommodations, the kindness of the host, the dog-friendly atmosphere!
