    Weekend Getaway

    Everything was awesome. The property owner (Tammy) was easy to contact and replied almost simultaneously to any question. Tammy had a plate of local Strawberries when we arrived which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Location was great and plenty things to do within a 25 miles radius. The cottage is decorated as you would expect for a beach getaway. At the top of our list when we go back..10+ star rating!

    "Perfect getaway"

    Just what we needed! I felt like I had stepped back in time to "Mayberry". Although we loved our time at the beach and my husband enjoyed a little fishing, my favorite moments were the early mornings and evenings sitting on the recliner on the front porch as families and couples peacefully strolled by with their doggies, etc. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated with everything we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone who would enjoy a quiet, peaceful getaway!

    Cozy Cottage

    My husband and I had a wonderful, peaceful week at “Salty Seas” cottage. It is a perfect blend of historic charm with modern amenities for cooking and comfort. However, we did have two issues….we’re 70 and our aging bones were challenged getting in and out of the high bed, and the bathtub was also difficult to use. Overall, we enjoyed this property and those issues did not affect our stay, thus, the 5 star rating.

    Outstanding property

    What a beautiful property! I came to Swansboro for the weekend-Mullet Festival. I was within walking distance of everything, restaurants, bars if that is your thing and just cross over the bridge and you can be at the beach. Just a few blocks from the downtown waterfront. The house having everything you need. The communication with the owner was excellent. They answered all questions and even left the light on for my late arrival. I have a high standard for cleanliness and this home exceeded my expectations. The bed was so comfy. I could live in it if not for it being a VRBO. Enjoy your stay!!

    Perfect

    The house was perfect for me and my son, in town for a baseball tournament. The comfort and cleanliness combined, with The great location, which allowed us to walk to the charming downtown for meals, made for the perfect stay. I would totally recommend this for those interested.

    Beautiful Home and City

    Beautiful home in a great location. This was my family's first trip to Swansboro for a baseball tournament and each time we arrived back at the house it was so comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed the porch and yard, walks to the water, to dinner, shops and the candy store. My kids are already asking if we can visit again.
