"This was our third year staying at the best porch in Swansboro! We love the historic house and all the amenities it provides, and we love the location in the heart of downtown Swansboro. Brad and Imogen are great hosts and super responsive. The new kitchen remodel is fantastic. You have everything you need and more. And the little touches are so special, like the wine cooler and turntable in the kitchen to listen to vinyls while cooking a meal. The back yard is screened in and the porch really...

Everything was great. I am 60 my husband almost 65 and my sister who had the adjoining room and she is 72 and handicapped. We found the beds extremely hard to get into as they are so very high and my sister needed help to get out of the bed. Other then that our stay was great.

After spending several days at an old hotel on the beach, this hotel was a welcome change. Reasonably located to the beach, if you wanted to spend some time there. The hotel itself is very nice, in good condition, and quiet. The room was clean, and the beds very comfortable. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The free breakfast was good, the staff better; they kept the breakfast area well stocked. The hotel is conveniently located near historic Swansboro, and plenty of great food.

Robbie is a great host. Went out of his way to make sure we were welcome and comfortable. He handled the power outage due to the hurricane with candles and things to make us more comfortable. We will definitely stay there again and would highly recommend.

Very nice hotel. Atmosphere and amenities were great. Room spacious and comfortable. 5 minute walk to downtown for restaurants and shopping.
Waterfront views, but a lot of big boats in the marina that block water views. Will need to drive 10-20 minutes for beach access though.

The room was clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Loved the step in shower! You need to bring drinks and snacks due to very limited vending done near the front desk. Also, no breakfast is served but Dunkin Donuts is right next door! Nice place to stay. Pet friendly.

From my first contact to my last, this place was incredible. We got into town early and ate and wanted to go to the beach, but needed to change. I called the hotel and spoke to Lisa and told her what was going on, she changed us to a room that was ready so we could come change and drop off our stuff, despite that it was before the 3PM check in. We knew we would be out late and wanted to swim when we got back but the indoor pool closes at 9PM, so I asked Lisa what could be done and she said to...

This was my second time staying here. They are pet friendly, which was nice although we did not bring our dog this stay. We got there a few hours early and the lady at the desk was very nice and let us check in early even though our room was not ready yet, she said it would be ready in about an hour so we went to the beach and were able to pick up our room key when we got back. The pool is small but is nice when the beach is too windy. My friend is allergic to the down pillows, which seemed to...
