BEACH ACCESS: The closest beach with "waves" is Emerald Isle. Its about a 20 minute drive. You can take a private charter to "bear island" aka Hammocks Beach State Park on the Lady Swan for a minimal fee.

Views of White Oak River were incredible. Walking distance to all the restaurants in Swansboro. The shared driveway with Il Cigno Italiano was a little annoying at dinner time, but that was minor. Evan was super responsive and helpful and on top of things when the power went out due to a tropical storm. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Jared G.

We lingered over the views, delicious meals and walks to downtown Swansboro. The home was very well-appointed and full of character and charm. Proximity to Hwy 24 was not an issue during our stay. The sunrises and sunsets were a main attraction. Would recommend for a relaxing visit to the NC coast. ##### Susan J.

Beautiful water views, wonderful sunrises ,clean comfortable beds, and close to so many restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Looking forward to staying again.

The age of the house gave it so much character! From what appeared to be the original floors, doors and steps, it is a very cozy stay with great space and the best damn view you could ask for. My family enjoyed fishing from the private pier, rear deck and back yard. The only 2 challenges were the parking that you share with the great Italian restaurant next door and the home sits off a pretty busy road. But honestly, i never heard how busy the road was during the entire stay and my family with 6 vehicles still managed the parking over Father's Day weekend. My only recommendation would be a 11am check out vs a 10am check out.I would definitely return to this beautiful home for a future vacation stay with my wife. ##### Carlos M.

I need an address to mail it back. Such a lovely old home! ##### Randy H.

Amazing view and very tranquil to sit out on the dock. However, the house was filled with palmetto bugs/cockroaches. They were visiting us throughout our stay and were on the countertops which is not ideal when you’re trying to cook. Was looking for a convenient place to stay with young children for a destination wedding but unfortunately was on edge the whole trip while opening cabinets etc. The bugs were pretty large and tainted our stay. The owner said they spray but thinking they need to get a better handle on the bug situation because who wants to deal with that when they are on vacation. Other than that, the upstairs bathroom had great water pressure and a clean/new tub for the kids bath. Enjoyed the space and the views. House is stocked with basically what you need in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. ##### Geannine H.

Charming place just like the town it's part of, couldn't say enough about the host and how accommodating the place was. ##### sean g. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Joy S. 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in The code to checkin/unlock the door was incorrect. There were dead bugs on the floor and it looked like no one had been there in quite some time. Beautiful location, but the house needs work. ##### Joy S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ---
