Many appreciate the water views, sunrises, and quiet interiors despite a nearby busy road. Reviews frequently praise clean, well-stocked spaces and a responsive host, though a few report pests, an occasional check-in code issue, and parking challenges due to the shared driveway with the adjacent Italian restaurant. Overall, expect a convenient, scenic base with simple comforts and standout access to the water.

This house was perfect for our family and accompanied our two flats boats easily. Parking was a bit tricky while we got unpacked, etc but the owner of the restaurant next door was very pleasant to work with. This was only a concern while we had our boats on trailers, etc. Host was a pleasure to work with!!

This is our second time renting the property. The house is simply perfect for a family of four and could easily accommodate six. It's very clean and we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The views from the property are beautiful. We enjoyed coffee and sunrises on the dock and a game of horseshoes in the yard. The kitchen is well-appointed and it was great to be able to do a load of laundry before heading home. There are several grocery stores nearby. It's a quick walk under the bridge to Old Town Swansboro. We ate dinner while enjoying live music at the Boro, grabbed coffee at the upstairs coffee shop, and did plenty of shopping. We didn't pull out the kayak but were happy it was there and saw several people out on the water in front of our house throughout the week. While the house sits on the main road, it's very quiet inside. Its location is also perfect for heading over to Emerald Isle too. Can't recommend it enough.

House was clean and well stocked. 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.

Love our stay at this home! 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.

Wonderful place to stay for a couple of days when to visiting my son whoo is a marine stationed at New River. Came to spend the Easter holiday. This home is situated off a busy road butlt you don't hear the traffic and it's like you're in your own little Oasis. Beautiful water views, wonderful sunrises ,clean comfortable beds, and close to so many restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Looking forward to staying again. We used the kyak and the house had plenty of beach chairs for a relaxing day at the beach. Highly recommend!

Location was great being there were restaurants and great views in walking distance. 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.

The house is in very good shape and we were provided with all of the necessities, including trash bags, dishwashing detergent, paper towels, toilet, paper, etc. The owners took great care in making sure the house was perfect for a group of four adults. The house would be also very good for a family. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a nice house for up to 6 adults in a great area. Lots of restaurants, bars and beautiful sights in the area. We were visiting our son on USMC liberty and this house was great for us to gather in. I would caution those with small children, the water and the proximity to the roadway would be a concern anytime they were outside. While the house is located close to a four lane road, it was surprisingly quiet inside. Additionally, the parking for the house is adjacent to a very popular (for good reason) Italian restaurant. The staff was very respectful of the house parking area. Up to three vehicles would no be an issue. This area was relatively quiet around November when we visited, but in peak summer season I'm sure it is very busy. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Overall, if you are okay with the location and have older kids and/or only adults, this is a good stay in the Swansboro area.

This is our second time renting the property. The house is simply perfect for a family of four and could easily accommodate six. It's very clean and we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The views from the property are beautiful. We enjoyed coffee and sunrises on the dock and a game of horseshoes in the yard. The kitchen is well-appointed and it was great to be able to do a load of laundry before heading home. There are several grocery stores nearby. It's a quick walk under the bridge to Old Town Swansboro. We ate dinner while enjoying live music at the Boro, grabbed coffee at the upstairs coffee shop, and did plenty of shopping. We didn't pull out the kayak but were happy it was there and saw several people out on the water in front of our house throughout the week. While the house sits on the main road, it's very quiet inside. Its location is also perfect for heading over to Emerald Isle too. Can't recommend it enough.

Love our stay at this home! 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.

Parking was a bit tricky while we got unpacked, etc but the owner of the restaurant next door was very pleasant to work with. This was only a concern while we had our boats on trailers, etc. Host was a pleasure to work with!!

Stayed for 4 nights with my elderly parents and everything was PERFECT. All questions to the owner were answered immediately. Close to everything. The sunrise in the morning across the water is perfect with coffee in hand.

Great little property with amazing view. We stayed for a few days over the holiday break and really enjoyed this property. I wish we were there over the summer so we could have used the backyard and the waterfront area of the property. The owner was great and very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Location / Location / Location - Swansboro a great little fishing town in Eastern North Carolina. Charming place just like the town it's part of, couldn't say enough about the host and how accommodating the place was.

House was clean and well stocked. 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.

Location was great being there were restaurants and great views in walking distance. 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.

This is a nice house for up to 6 adults in a great area. Lots of restaurants, bars and beautiful sights in the area. We were visiting our son on USMC liberty and this house was great for us to gather in. I would caution those with small children, the water and the proximity to the roadway would be a concern anytime they were outside. While the house is located close to a four lane road, it was surprisingly quiet inside. Additionally, the parking for the house is adjacent to a very popular (for good reason) Italian restaurant. The staff was very respectful of the house parking area. Up to three vehicles would no be an issue. This area was relatively quiet around November when we visited, but in peak summer season I'm sure it is very busy. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Overall, if you are okay with the location and have older kids and/or only adults, this is a good stay in the Swansboro area.

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.

Fun stay! Beautiful historic cottage with mesmerizing views of the White Oak River. Perfect for two couples. Very responsive host and easy check in/out process. 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.

Love our stay at this home! 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.

Wonderful place to stay for a couple of days when to visiting my son whoo is a marine stationed at New River. Came to spend the Easter holiday. This home is situated off a busy road butlt you don't hear the traffic and it's like you're in your own little Oasis. Beautiful water views, wonderful sunrises ,clean comfortable beds, and close to so many restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Looking forward to staying again. We used the kyak and the house had plenty of beach chairs for a relaxing day at the beach. Highly recommend!

My husband, sister, and brother-in-law enjoyed the quaintness and character of the home. Views were amazing! I loved the fact that I knew the people associated with the house. We enjoyed being able to walk to the shops in downtown Swansboro. Even though the fish were not biting, it was still nice having a private dock. It was a very relaxing getaway! Thanks for a great stay!Belinda K. Turner

Lock code given by VRBO (last 4 digits of renters phone) was incorrect. Had to call the property manager to get correct code and gain access. We have stayed at Sandy Point on and almost since its move and renovation. Beautiful site, but showing its age. Could stand to have the floors refinised, the door repalced, new windows
