Ghosted Property Owner
I booked the weekend for my parter and my 1 year anniversary. Swansboro is a town I fell in love with when I moved to NC and was excited to show her the charming town. Unfortunately, starting the day before we were set to leave I started losing vision in my eye. On the morning we were to leave for the vacation, I had to go into the ER to have emergency surgery to save my vision. I messaged Marc, the property owner, that I would be unable to make it due to emergency surgery and if there was any way I could cancel. Marc didn’t respond despite quickly replying to my questions prior to the visit. After a week, I tried again, asking if we could discuss the unfortunate cancellation. Now, multiple messages to him and calls from VRBO’s customer service over the last month and a half, Marc has continued to ghost both me and VRBO. I understand I cancelled past the cancellation policy, but I was hoping to maybe work out a discounted stay off-season, maybe getting my cleaning fee back as I gave him notice it wasn’t needed, or at least some acknowledgment. I can’t speak to the property, I know I was excited to visit and I’m sure it is wonderful, but I can say the Host Marc is not a great communicator and lacks basic empathy.

The property was very nice and clean, had everything we needed. We loved the restaurant next door and loved the fact we could walk under the bridge to go to the downtown Swansboro. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice place
The decorations were very nice and it was clean! I loved the town of Swansboro and access to the fishing pier/park right outside the door. It was very picturesque and convenient since we brought the dog. The only think I will say is that I didnt realize this was an old store front which is super cool and different but several people tried walking in until we learned to lock the door at all times and pulled the curtain. Also didnt see a hot tub while we were there althought I didnt reach out to the host to ask either so thats on me.

Perfect trip
Just as advertised - just a short walk under the bridge (which is cool!) to downtown. Great little town with a lot of history, shops, and restaurants/bars. The apartment has been meticulously crafted inside a storefront - very well done! Just park in front of the sign...it looks like a storefront, but it's a cute little place that is perfect for 2 people

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 place for a relaxing getaway
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.
