About this property

Swansboro... Gateway to Emerald Isle Pet-Friendly Family Compound

  • Welcome to your private coastal compound in the heart of historic Swansboro - perfect for multi‑family vacations, parents traveling with teens, groups who want to stay together and have private spaces, or anyone looking for a stylish, walkable retreat under 15 min. from Emerald Isle’s beautiful beaches. And yes, bring the pups!

    This setup gives everyone room to breathe. Teens can take over one unit while parents unwind in the other. Grandparents get their own quiet space. Families or couples can travel together without feeling crowded.

    This newly renovated duplex blends warm wood accents, clean white walls, coastal artwork, and a relaxed, elevated vibe across two complete living spaces. Families love the flexibility: stay close together, spread out, and enjoy privacy when you want it.

    Two Complete Units - Perfect for Multi‑Family Stays
    Each Unit has two full 1‑bedroom 1 bath units, each with:
    - High Quality Memory Foam King Bed
    - A Trundle bed with 2 Twin Memory Foam mattresses
    - Tiled bathroom with luxurious double showers and modern fixtures
    - Large garden patios off the bedroom (Unit A extra sunny; Unit B shaded by a gorgeous live oak)
    - Large dresser and cubbies for storage
    - Large covered side porches for a break from the sun
    - A well stocked full kitchen for meals at home
    - A large open living room with L‑shaped sofa + smart TV
    - A mudroom‑style entry for beach bags, surfboards, strollers, and gear
    - Fully fenced backyard to keep the kids and dogs contained

    Outdoor Living for the Whole Group
    The shared outdoor space is designed for relaxing, rinsing off, and enjoying coastal evenings together:
    - Two propane grills - one for each unit
    - Two outdoor showers - perfect after Emerald Isle beach days
    - Fully fenced backyard - ideal for dogs and kids
    - Brand‑new sod and sunny yard space
    - Large backyard and side patios with multiple seating options
    - Café lights for warm, coastal ambiance at night
    - Quiet, charming neighborhood of historic coastal homes

    Dog‑Friendly
    Bring your pups - the fenced yard, outdoor showers, and easy outdoor setup make it simple for dog‑loving families.

    Walkable, Charming, and Close to Everything
    “Location, Location, Location!" You’re right in the heart of historic Swansboro, one of the cutest waterside towns in the Carolinas. Known as the "Friendly City by the Sea", Swansboro hosts many annual festivals throughout the year.
    - Give the car a break- you can stroll and bike for food and entertainment
    - Coffee, ice cream and delicious restaurants are all steps away. Shop in the boutiques, check out live music on the weekends, enjoy drinks on the water without getting in the car.
    - Under 15 minutes to Emerald Isle’s stunning beaches
    - Close to fishing charters, kayak and boat rentals, Hammocks Beach State Park, and more
    - Staying on Emerald Isle is great for beach access... but in town you have A LOT more post-beach options.

    Perfect For
    - Multi‑family vacations
    - Dog‑friendly getaways
    - Parents + children/teens needing separate spaces
    - Grandparents traveling with the family
    - Two couples traveling together
    - Surf/fish/beach trips
    - Guests attending Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point or Swansboro Festivals
    - Anyone wanting a stylish, flexible coastal retreat

Absolutely wonderful place to stay while visiting the Swansboro area. We came down with kids and a pet to visit family, and were able to not only stay comfortably in such a cool bungalow walking distance to the water and historic town- we could even host a few family gatherings at the house! The 2 sides of the house are appointed equally with everything you need to make a real dinner, snuggle in for a movie night, and even let kids and pup roam and play in the fenced yard. The decor is charming and original, not the generic mass produced sterility of a lot of places I have rented in my travel adventures. I will definitely be coming back.
