Absolutely beautiful place and immaculately clean. The garden out back felt like a magical hideaway in the midst of Swansboro. I loved sitting out in the morning with my coffee and watching the hydrangeas and roses sway in the breeze. I was also able to bring along my dog and even though this place was pet friendly, it felt so clean and there was no pet smell. Just a gorgeous rental. Can’t wait to stay again!

Absolutely wonderful home away from home for your vacation! Very clean and exactly how described in listing and photos. This was our second time staying here with family to attend our granddaughter’s engagement party and then her wedding. We had our two cats with us and it was wonderful to find such a nice pet friendly place. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. A nice quiet location just off the main road yet really close to everything you would need as far as grocery stores, restaurants, Walmart and local downtown shops by the water as well as Emerald Isle. A great home for sure!!!
