Waterfront living - Captain's Cottage

~2750 square feet of living space in this one-of-a-kind waterfront vacation home, named “Captain’s Cottage”, located within walking distance to popular downtown Swansboro. The highlights of this waterview home are relaxing while yachts and boats cruise by, strolling down to shop or dine on the waterfront or enjoying time with friends and family taking in the breathtaking views. Kids and adults can enjoy additional entertainment in the ground-level game room with a game of cards, ski ball or a friendly foosball game.

Boaters will enjoy the boat lift and easy access to a launch and trailer parking. More information is available upon request.

Kayakers will enjoy the two single kayaks (with easy launch), paddles and life jackets or bring your own!

Bedroom 1: Queen | Bedroom 2: Queen | Bedroom 3: 2 Queens

Ground Level: Entry door via keyless entry with your code that is provided 24 hours prior to check-in. The ground floor also features a table for 4, foosball and skeeball for entertainment. A full bathroom (shower only). Additional roon with flat screen TV (with Roku), perfect for a “kid” TV room.

First Floor: Waterfront main living area. Two living room seating areas, dining room and fully stocked kitchen. The main living room features a flat-screen TV with cable. Easy access to the backyard and sprawling views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Bedroom 1 and 2 as well as a shared full bathroom and large closet for clothing storage. A reading nook is quietly situated between the bedrooms.

Second Floor: Unparalleled water views. Bedroom 3 features 2 queen beds as well as a small loveseat for enjoying the view. The full bathroom features double sinks. Large closet for clothing storage.

Additional Amenities: 2 single kayaks. Boat lift that can hold a 24 foot boat (launch and parking details available upon request). The dock is the perfect spot for fishing or just relaxing. Gas grill and outdoor furniture right on the waterfront make outdoor living and cooking an experience! The kitchen has a drip and Keurig coffee maker and a small table for two for enjoying morning coffee or talking to whoever might be cooking your favorite family recipes.

Parking: 3 cars if parked at a bit of an angle. 2 cars parked normally. Out of respect for the neighbors, we ask that parked cars don’t block the road in any way.

Weekend trip to Swansboro
The location is fantastic with great views. The house was super clean, a bit dated in bathrooms and kitchen but very clean. Beds are all comfortable and we enjoyed the dock and sitting outside daily. The family room has plenty of seating, as does the dining table. Communication was fast and any issue resolved

Disappointed with having to have 3 service repair calls
We needed 2 service calls for the air conditioning We were told the system is old and can only do so much. We had heavy rains during the night and the roof leaked. Roofers had to come to do a repair also there err no toiletries shampoo body wash etc. the location and view were lovely But we were on vacation so all these repair needs were frustrating

🎶 Sitting on the Dock of the Bay….🎶.
We loved our time on the dock where we fished, rocked and kayaked. The water views from the wall of windows in the living room was stunning. The six of us played tons of games on the large dining table and the double living area had so much space for us to spread out. The master bedroom was blissful as we woke looking out over the bay. We also enjoyed our leisurely walk into town to Yana’s for breakfast and Boro’s for dinner. We made many amazing memories on this wonderful family vacation. Thank you!

Survived tropical storm Ophelia
My family came into town to surprise our son for his birthday. He is stationed at Camp Lejeune. We were only in town for 3 days and of course it was right when tropical storm Ophelia made land fall so the weather was wet to say the least. However the stay was still nice, the house is in a perfect location for anyone who enjoys a vacation on the waterfront. We walked down to the shops and restaurants in Swansboro, very convenient. Parking at the house can be tricky but we were able to park two Toyota 4 runners and one Nissan Sentra and not be in the roadway. So it can be done 😂. Would definitely do this property again in the future. PS did some fishing from the dock and caught a flounder, a few croakers, a Florida pompano, and a very large stone crab. Thanks again
