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.

Dirty, Not Family Friendly, Live Music and Like Sleeping in a Bar
Checked in late at night after a day of travel. The sleeper sofa was covered with dog hair and food crumbs and seemed to have not been cleaned for some time. The duvet provided for the sleeper sofa was covered with dog hair and had multiple urine stains, this was unusable. It was too late for any resolution so we made the best of it and went to bed. It was difficult getting to bed as there was a lot of foot traffic as well as vehicle traffic directly outside of the room coming from the bar next door. Yes the restaurant listed in the description turns into a full blown bar in the evening. Following morning my wife got a total of 5 minutes of “warm” water in the shower. I texted the owner and he said they only have a 10 gallon tank and that you should only expect 8-10 minutes of hot water. 8-10 minutes of hot water for 3 people is unacceptable. Brushed my teeth in the sink and it was slow to drain leaving a nasty film on the sink. I notified the owner and he told me “there is draino under the sink if you want to try that”. While I appreciate his prompt response, I’m not paying to fix his issues. The following night we returned after a day at the beach to a live music concert taking place on the opposite side of the unit from the bar. So think loud live music about 30 feet from the head of the bed in the room. Lots of patrons outside of the room drinking snd smoking. It was like living in a live music bar. Contacted the owner and left as the room was uninhabitable for a family

Cute studio!
The place was very clean and had everything you would need! The owner was great and quick to communicate with! The bed was incredible and felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. Steps outside was waterfront views with a cute restaurant close by with yummy breakfast. There’s also a very nice walkway under the bridge to get to downtown swans boro where we ate at 2 separate restaurants, both delicious! Will definitely be back! Only 10-15 minutes to Emerald Isle beach!

Great location if you don't want to stay right at the beach, but it is just a short drive away. The rental property was very clean, well maintained, and I like the rustic look and decor of the studio. I loved the quaint old town of Swansboro and much of the shopping, dining and entertainment is within walking distance which is great. Overall I had a great stay and would come back again.

Fabulous waterfront stay
This apartment is in a great location in downtown Swansboro. It's right on the water and next to a nice little park. It's perfect for a couple, especially if you like kayaking. We had the good fortune of meeting Marc and it was a pleasure. We have been coming to the area for several years and were very pleased to find this spot.

Nothing but great
I booked this place because my daughter is stationed at Camp Lejune. Her baby was due to arrive on Feb 3 and I had reservations for that date. Life through a minor curve and we needed the place sooner. Marc was amazing at changing my dates as well as making arrangements so we could check in a day ahead of our reschedule reservation. The place was wonderful. The location is perfect and the accommodating hospitality was amazing. Thank you again we highly recommend!!

Swansboro getaway.
You're within walking distance of plenty of restaurants & shops and there's a convenient walkway to walk underneath the road to get over to downtown Swansboro safely on foot. It's great to be right on the water and have a small park right out the door that we could walk our dog. The space was super-clean & neat, very well-cared for, and the king bed was really comfortable. The only negative was the parking. The parking lot is public parking and when we came back from lunch on Saturday the fishermen had taken all the spots. We rode around for about 30 minutes looking for a spot but couldn't find one close by. We came back to the apartment and one had opened up for us. Overall I was very pleased with the room.
