Water Street Cottage

In Swansboro's historic district, this cottage built by a sea captain, exudes charm + nostalgia while boasting the comfort of modern amenities. It underwent a total renovation in 2024. On the waterfront of the Intracoastal Waterway + adjacent to the historical landmark Poor Man's Hole, it offers direct water access on two sides with pier and boat lift. Adjacent to the restaurants + special attractions of the downtown, this is a rare opportunity to stay in a historic yet transformed modern gem.

Was a beautiful spot to stay and the town had plenty of shopping and dining options. The host left an amazing welcome packet that had good information on where to eat and where to go.

Wonderful stay

Beautiful house by the sea. Looks small from the outside, but much more spacious inside. And Swansboro is a very nice village!

Adorable little cottage in downtown Swansboro. Cute shops and restaurants walking distance. About 10 minute drive to Emerald Isle beach. Highly recommend

We Loved it!

This property was beautiful! Everything looked exactly as pictured, and the decoration was gorgeous. We loved the location as we had access to our own pier and were literally only a 3 minute walk from the little downtown. The check in process was super easy, and the hosts had left a few things for us like hygiene products, wine, popcorn, and coffee pods. Being only 15 minutes from Emerald Isle was lovely, and we did the Lady Swan Sunset cruise which boarded only 3 minutes from our house.
