Marc was an outstanding communicator & was easy to work with. There were a few easy issues he will be addressing for future guests. Good stay & recommend. We may stay there again.
It would have been better to have more than 2 cups for the coffee machine. It would have been nice to have an electric tea pot to boil water for tea or a french press coffee maker. the microwave is not the best to boil water. It was a good idea to use an old store front for a small apartment. The restaurant next store was nice for breakfast and being on the water was nice. I would replace the two bar stools and table with a round table and chairs, it would be easier to use.
We enjoyed our stay and hope to go again. I could not walk far and hubby can so the location where he could be active and I enjoyed the water. Love the decor too.
Lovely place in an excellent location. Walkable to restaurants etc and clean. Will for sure stay again when in the area and needing a place to rest. Host was very communicative throughout the stay and check in was a breeze.
Just as advertised - just a short walk under the bridge (which is cool!) to downtown. Great little town with a lot of history, shops, and restaurants/bars. The apartment has been meticulously crafted inside a storefront - very well done! Just park in front of the sign...it looks like a storefront, but it's a cute little place that is perfect for 2 people
Great location with access to downtown swansboro in walking distance. Check in process was seamless as was checkout. The property manager was available via phone without issue. Would definitely stat here again
The decorations were very nice and it was clean! I loved the town of Swansboro and access to the fishing pier/park right outside the door. It was very picturesque and convenient since we brought the dog. The only think I will say is that I didnt realize this was an old store front which is super cool and different but several people tried walking in until we learned to lock the door at all times and pulled the curtain. Also didnt see a hot tub while we were there althought I didnt reach out to the host to ask either so thats on me.

Nice for a weekend
We stayed for a week and it would’ve been fine for a weekend. There is no kitchen-not even sink in kitchen.
I didn’t realize it’s a storefront.
It was probably mentioned, but I must not have noticed.
Nice decor. Beautiful park right next door and cute little shopping and restaurants within walking distance.
Easy access to Emerald Isle Beach.
10 out of 10 definitely would come back again views were amazing definitely some good fishing people are very nice and the restaurant next door AMAZING
We came to town to visit family and this was the perfect place to stay. The location is wonderful. Waking up and being able to just walk out to the sound was the best! We really enjoyed our stay.
The property was very nice and clean, had everything we needed. We loved the restaurant next door and loved the fact we could walk under the bridge to go to the downtown Swansboro. We would definitely stay there again.
The location is amazing and views are gorgeous! Close to so much, including the beach!! Perfect place that’s nicely decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Swansboro! We had great food and hospitality everywhere we went.
Great place with easy walking access to restaurants, shops, fishing and kayaking. Very comfortable and convenient. Owner was extremely easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again!
