Historic home in seaside village of Swansboro w/ private beach parking

The home had plenty of room for our party of 5. It is a short walk to Emerald Isle Woods Park, and an even shorter walk to the beach access. We didn't even need to bring all of our beach chairs. There are plenty of beach chairs, sand toys, and a rolling beach wagon provided. In fact, we brought with us so many household items that were not necessary as the house is stocked with plenty. We were happy to find hand soap at each sink, extra toilet paper, and a well-stocked kitchen with a variety of spices and coffee. The pool, porches, and decks had plenty of chairs for lounging. My favorite feature is the unique landscaping that provides privacy and the many enchanting statuettes. The neighborhood is quiet and feels safe. You will see people walking their dogs and riding bikes with their children. It was a perfect stay for us! We would love to return!

If you’re planning a vacation or just wanting to hideout for awhile, you won’t be disappointed with this Charming Cottage. My family and I, found this to be the perfect place. The house was perfect, the pool was perfect, everything was perfect. What we kept talking about was, how we felt like we was all alone in the community. This house is tucked away and hidden from everything. Although there are neighbors on each side, the way this property is landscaped, you’d never know. We hope to stop by again someday, maybe in the late fall. Thank you again Mike for allowing us to stay in your house. Many blessings. The Canterbury’s

Impeccable home. Attention to detail in everything. Will definitely stay here if back in the area.

We were in town to celebrate a dear friends birthday. My family and I stayed at this gorgous home, clearly renovated with style and class...the kitchen was exact to the photos Viking appliances, marble counters, all the bedrooms had what you need with comfortable beds, plenty of room for a family of 6

Quick weekend getaway that should have been longer, the house was well apportioned and had everything needed. The host was responsive and helpful. A parking space on Emerald Isle two minutes from beach access is a bonus. Highly recommend the property.

Stunning historical home with a beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. The property also features a great pool and bonus room, with plenty of space throughout. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to restaurants, making it even more convenient. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful home, walking distance to town. Love the ducks in the neighborhood!

This home is gorgeous and the owners hospitality is top notch. The home is very clean, comfortable and luxurious. Mike made sure all we had to do was have a good time. He came by a few times during our stay to keep the pool clean and take out the trash can (like a ninja). Great communication and everything is very well maintained. Some key features that other VRBO’s have not had include well stocked kitchen with SHARP knives and all the utensils to make anything you want. To include cookies. Having two living rooms is also a nice bonus. Despite hurricane Debby trying to be a downer, this was one of our favorite family vacations.

Perfect get away for me and my daughter over Mother's Day weekend. Gorgeous luxury home with more amenities than can be taken advantage of in a few days. Walking distance to all of charming Swansboro. Incredibly accommodating and responsive host. I could use all the superlatives and it would still not be enough. A must return on my list.

Precious family time in the dear town of Swansboro. The home was amazing and more special than I can put words to…Every detail exceeded description or any expectation. We can’t wait to return.

This was my family's third year to visit the Charming Cottage during my grandson's fall break. It was as charming as ever with a feeling of home since we'd been there before. Beautifully decorated and maintained, the cottage is located just a short walk from the beach, so that we can enjoy taking a quick walk down to the beach just to check out conditions or enjoy the sunset. The pool out back offers a great option to the beach. We'll be back next year!

Adorable cottage, perfectly clean, amazing location to beach and bike paths, awesome pool area, spacious decks and a cozy screened in porch...the list can go on. The house is decorated so lovely and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. My family enjoyed every minute of the house and beach and pool!! We rented bikes for the week so we could explore the area - so many places to check out as the house is in a GREAT location. Owners were available if we needed anything. This house was a blessing!
