Long weekend getaway

We loved our stay at this beautiful house in Swansboro. The owners were so nice and left little touches about the house that made our stay so comfortable from complimentary coffee to towels and lines. The downtown area is so cute and only 1 block away. We enjoyed walking around every morning and evening and checking out the restaurants and shops. Also, my son loves the ducks of Swansboro. We had the same visitor every morning and evening; a muscovy duck who my son named Darryl. We were close proximity to Emerald Isle as well which is a beautiful beach. Can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing Stay

Wonderful house in a wonderful location! We have been visiting Emerald Isle and Swansboro for over 40 years. This was one of the nicest houses we stayed in. Very clean and all the amenities you could need. We had many errands to run due to a death in the family but really enjoyed the time at the house. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants and the shops in the area or just order take-out and eat in. Even though we had a lot to get done the week we were there, it was great to come "home" to relax. Would definitely like to get back soon.

GREAT HOME, LOCATION AND OWNER

Suellen was just wonderful from start to finish. Anytime I had questions, she answered them quickly. The house was very clean, had great views and is in a great location. It was so nice to be able to walk to dinner, Flotilla and tree lighting. We fixed a lot of our meals at the house, and we had plenty of room for the five of us. Plus, we were able to entertain our daughter and her family. The weather was nice and we enjoyed the porches everyday. Great place to have morning coffee looking at the water view and beautiful sunrises. The home was decorated for Christmas which we just loved. Suellen is a great host, and I would love to stay their again when visiting our daughter.

Fall Getaway

Our family really enjoyed this beautiful, cozy home. One day was spent entirely inside because of Tropical Storm Ian passing through and we had plenty of space to just relax. Its location was great for visiting downtown shops, Emerald Isle and our Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune. The porches were inviting and the sunrise beautiful from the upstairs porch. The owner was easy to reach, quick to answer, and checked in on us periodically by text. We would stay again!

Beautiful house!

This house is amazing! It’s beautiful and well maintained. It was very clean. Communication with Suellen was easy and she’s very responsive. House is in a great area within walking distance to waterfront, restaurants and shops. We especially loved the front porch swing and rocking chairs! Would highly recommend staying at the Boro.

Great holiday weekend

Overall terrific stay. The home was comfy, ample space, well located and the owner/host kind & helpful. Recommend having a few more coffee cups and the stove burners were somewhat weak. However, we highly recommend this quaint Swansboro rental. Thanks again…

Loved This Place

Gorgeous, clean 2 story home. The property is perfectly located ( rock throwing distance) from several Great restaurants, shops, kayak retals, bait/tackle shops and across the street from a small public pier. 10-15 from the beach, Wal-Mart, Lowes and Walgreens/ CVS. When we had a minor issue with the AC, the property owner was there in minutes to fix the problem. If you're looking to stay in Swansboro area, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful home!!!!

The two houses are connected from the outside only they are completely separate from the inside. We live next door to our vacation rental but we are private people and do not disturb our guest unless they request help of some kind.
