The private dock allows for easy access to the river, while the back yard provides fun outdoor entertainment opportunities with yard games and a hammock under the shade of a magnificent southern live oak. If the weather is not cooperating, don't worry, stay in and play a round of foosball or air hockey. The views of the river offer amazing sunsets and glimpses of the local wildlife - even dolphins! Bring your fishing rod and catch flounder and red drum off the dock (during high tide in summer and fall months), or use the provided crab pots to catch blue/stone crabs. Rent or bring your own kayaks and paddle boards to explore the river and nearby sound. This is the perfect spot for your next family vacation or fishing trip! ABOUT THE HOUSE The main entrance and living area are located on the second floor. Follow the lighted path towards the back stairs where you are greeted by an inviting porch and keyless entry pad. As you enter, the dining and living room areas welcome you with a cozy vibe that says "relax!" Open to the dining and living area, the kitchen is outfitted with pots, pans, and utensils you need to start cooking your first meal. Past the kitchen, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, stocked with extra linens, towels, TV's and basic toiletries (.i.e., shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer). Use the spiral staircase to go down the stairs where you will find the laundry room, game room, office, and lounge ready for fun and additional sleepers. FISHING Below is a list of ways and places to fish. Fishing opportunities are seasonal, you need a fishing license (an easy and quick process online), and be aware of NC laws & limits. Don't worry, you can go online to https://www.eregulations.com/northcarolina/fishing/fishing-licenses. \- Pogies Fishing and Kayak Center: This service offers fishing excursions/charters and sell bait and tackle. You can rent fishing poles or kayaks here as well. \- Neuse Sports Shop (Cedar Point): Go here to purchase outdoor gear, fishing poles, bait & tackle, and so much more. \- Bogue Inlet Pier (Emerald Isle): A picture perfect spot that has a fishing pier along with bait and tackle for sale (closed during winter season). \- Pier By the Water: Located just on the other side of the Swansboro bridge, some folks just bring their fishing poles here. \- Rent or bring your own kayaks to fish around the river area. The Swansboro bridge is a choice area for most locals but be aware of boaters passing by. BOATING The private dock is accessible to kayak, paddle boards jet skis, and low draft boats (anything with less than a 12 inch draft during low tide). However, there are several public boat launches in the nearby area (one right across the street). Right off the dock, go fishing during high tide (during summer and fall months). FAMILY FUN Family fun is just minutes away. Here's our list of fun places: \- Mac Daddy's (6 mins): Bowling, Arcade Games, Go Karts, Mini Golf, Sky Trail (obstacle course) \- Fun World Motorsports Go Karts (10 mins) \- Black Pearl Mini Golf (10 mins) \- Salty Pirate Water Park (9 mins) - Open seasonally SITES TO SEE Check out the following nearby towns that are a bit farther away but may peak your interest: \- Beaufort (36 mins): This is North Carolina's third-oldest town and home to Blackbeard. \- New Bern (50 mins): The second-oldest town in North Carolina and home to book author Nicholas Sparks. It's also the birthplace of Pepsi. \- NC Aquariums Pine Knoll Shores (32 mins via car): This is always a great option for the kids. NEARBY FOOD MARKETS We know you need to stock up on those necessities, so here's the nearest places to get them: \- Piggly Wiggly (5 mins) \- Walgreens Cape Carteret (5 mins) \- Lowes Foods (6 mins) \- CVS (6 mins) \- Walmart in Swansboro (10 mins) \- Food Lion Emerald Isle (10 mins) \- Publix (10 mins) NEARBY RESTAURANTS AND BARS Here's our list of places with a great atmosphere, tasty food, and choice spirits: \- The Boro Restaurant & Bar (3 mins) \- Boro Low Country Boil (3 mins) \- Swansboro Food and Beverage (3 mins) \- Church Street Deli (3 mins) \- Angies Lighthouse (6 mins) \- T & W's Oyster Bar (10 mins) Bars with Bands, DJs, and so much more \- 34 North bar (3 mins) \- Bogue Sound Distillery (8 mins) \- Riptidez (3 mins) \- Carolina Home and Garden Event Center (10 mins) SAFETY NOTES Some homes have their quirks, so here is ours: \- There is a 2" step up/down between the living room and kitchen as well as the bathrooms and adjoining rooms. We've added lights and/or signs to highlight the transition, but it can still pose a hazard. Please watch your step. \- The spiral staircase is what it is - a little tight. Please use the main entrance to move large bags between up and downstair floors. \- The back yard space does not have a fence, so please keep a close watch on children and animals while outdoors. \- To swim or not to swim, that is the question. Please no swimming or diving off the dock. There are lots of oyster shells that help filter the water but can seriously hurt your feet and hands. Always use swimming shoes near our shoreline. Emerald Isle beaches are not far away as well as the Salty Pirate Water park. SECURITY FEATURES \- We installed a security camera with proximity lighting at the front of the house. \- A video doorbell is also installed at the main entrance of home for immediate assistance with keypad entry. \- There are no listening or video devices inside home. BUGS & WEATHER While we use bug elimination services to spray the inside and outside of the house monthly, this does not completely prevent bugs from making their way into the home. We occasionally have palmetto bugs, fiddler crabs, or other bugs make their way indoors. Open doors and windows will allow easy entry for these opportunists. Unfortunately there is no way to prevent our guests from seeing one of these occasionally indoors. As the warmer weather months go by, brace yourselves for those pesky mosquitos and no-see-ums. While most people recognize mosquitos, most have not heard about no-see-ums (also known as midges). They are really hard to see and bite primarily around the ankles and legs. We spray for mosquitos, but being by the water it's hard to eradicate them (including no-see-ums). To help you enjoy the outdoors, we've provided bug spray and highly recommend you spray yourselves before doing outdoor activities during the day and evenings. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Ashtrays provided on back porch ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Boat - Foosball table - Kayak - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 2,450 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115890000/115881300/115881275/7b187fd5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sandy Beaches-Soundfront/Hot tub/Boatlift/Pets ok Emerald Isle - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=115881275&PinnedHotelID=115881275&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96080000/96071000/96070929/81692e28.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Remodeled Beach House 1 block from beach. 4min walk.

The accommodations were comfortable, clean, filled with a great Sonos experience in all main rooms/outside, and thoughtfully equipped for everyday. Whether it was sipping coffee while watching the sunrise or relaxing during the evening on the porch, perfect. We can’t wait to return for another stay! ##### Mike G.

We had a great time at this property. We had our kids and grandkids with us and there was so much space! The property has anything you would ever need and Curtis has thought of everything to make it a wonderful stay. We were especially impressed with all the toys they had for the kids. It kept the little ones busy! This property has everything you need and more. All you need to do is pack your suitcase and show up! We loved it there and would stay there again. ##### Kristen K.

This home was very comfortable for our family of 6.. my husband and my boys loved fishing right off the boat dock.. they caught a bunch of red drum.. my husband took the kayak out and was able to catch some flounder.. the home has everything to offer and more.. Curtis was so very helpful in the whole process.. this was one of our favorite VRBOs.. and that’s saying a lot since we’ve been to a lot all over the USA.. ![Catching red drum off the dock ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a7f74c53-b71d-4d2d-9e68-638a9804d968-1751865318768.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Catching red drum off the dock ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fe24cad7-37f3-4f56-9654-0b97c3d12591-1751865319564.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Caught our own Bait to use.. shrimp ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d2b6028-dfd8-4d34-a8a4-f311a2b6433b-1751865315316.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Just before it started to rain.. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a2f3c227-6bbe-46ab-a22a-f718266360bc-1751865317865.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heide P.

Loved the game room and the well equipped kitchen. The fir pit allowed for relaxing outside after the sun went down. Short drive to the beach. Everything was lovely and we would definitely rent again. ##### Lorri K.

The house is beautiful, well-furnished, and has every amenity. We appreciated how modern it is, with great wifi and with USB ports all over. The game room is a real vacation-saver on a rainy day. And it's an easy drive to area attractions like the NC Aquarium, Fort Macon, Beaufort and Morehead City. We'll be back! ##### Marla L.

My family truly enjoyed themselves and could not stop talking about how amazing this house was. The private dock was the icing on the cake. My mom and husband caught some nice size fish. I will definitely be recommending this location to all my family and friends. ##### angela c.

The owner was kind and communitive throughtout our stay and wanted to ensure our stay was a great experience. The hot tub and screened in porch were 2 of our favorite features. The neighborhood is quiet. We would absolutely stay here in the future. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ##### LB M.

It was very clean, nicely decorated, comfy beds, and so many extra amenities. We had 2 kids and 5 adults, ranging in age from 4 to 76 and there was plenty of room to spread out and so much at the house to entertain us all. Our group especially enjoyed the game room, hot tub, tree swing, fishing (caught several good size redfish, black drum, and flounder), and just relaxing out on the porch enjoying the views. The location was great with Swansboro and Emerald Isle being so close, plus we made a day trip up to Beaufort and Cape Lookout to see the lighthouse. We will definitely be back! ##### Allison B.
