About this property

WATERFRONT, gorgeous, PVT DOCK, relax, DOWNTOWN, fish, RETREAT

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.

About the host

Host profile image
Hey Y'all! I'm Evan, a native North Carolinian, and lover of the world at large. I've been fortunate enough to travel the majority of the USA, and love to see and experience new places.

I"ve been slowly building a portfolio of rental properties to share with folks just like you. I specialize in fantastic locations and unique properties that give the guests a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to hosting your next getaway!

Why they chose this property

This property is so neat. It's "in the family" if you will, and has been part of the family for decades. It's got such a wonderful location next to historic swansboro, a private dock, and such a great story. It's been built and rebuilt a few times, and it's got a ton of character.

Sited at the mouth of the White Oak River and the intersection of the Intracoastal Waterway, it is tidal, salty, and attracts a huge amount of wildlife - from dolphins and egrets, to shrimp and mackerel. It's within walking distance of the best of Swansboro, a historic town that has been lovingly kept and gently updated. We are steps from some of the best restaurants, shops, and attractions in the area.

Truly a wonderful place to come and relax, the home exudes calm, peaceful, and a slower way of life. I love staying here, and know that you will as well.

What makes this property unique

Private dock with mooring for smaller craft (please inquire)
Walkable to all of Swansboro
