10 yr anniversary retreat
We so enjoyed the quiet, quaint towns in and around Swansboro. The views from this home are gorgeous and so peaceful. Adorable home on the waterfront with a short walk to the cute town shops and restaurants. There’s a fantastic coffee/ice cream shop overlooking the water with several waterfront restaurants just blocks from this home. Lovely stay! MaryAnn was wonderful and so kind!

What a great location!
We loved our time in Swansboro. Mary Ann was so helpful and easy to get ahold of. Within walking distance of old downtown, with plenty of restaurants and live music to choose from. The view across from the house is absolutely amazing. Coffee on her dock, watching the dolphins swim by as the sun came up was an awesome experience. Highly recommend this spot!

Great Accommodation with a Water View
"Serenity by the Sea" was an amazing place to stay in Swansboro, NC. Beautiful water views and a quaint neighborhood made for a great experience. The house was warm and welcoming as was the host Mary Ann. She went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Peaceful week at the coast
Quiet week overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway in Swansboro. Great front porch and dock for relaxing and watching the boats (and dolphins) go by. Walking distance to several restaurants for takeout meals. Quiet neighborhood and easy parking. Host was very responsive and helpful without being intrusive. We would choose to come here again.

Serenity by the sea
The dock was great , cool breezy. Front porch was fabulous for sunrise and just relaxing watching water activity. The house was so cute. The colors were bright and welcoming. Kitchen was fully equipped although I do recommend a small blender on site. Location couldn’t have been better. We were in walking distance to kayak rentals, restaurants, and a small little brew house. Def would stay there again!

A perfect house in a perfect location
My wife & I and 2 other couples stayed here for 4 nights.Didn't want to leave. Mary Ann, the owner, is great. The house is very comfortable and clean. The location, on the water with private dock, can't be beat. We'd all walk a few blocks to eat supper & go the the martini/dessert bar. Great shops are also within walking distance ( a few minutes ). The house is in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood with pleasant friendly neighbors. The 6 of us are tentatively planning another vacay there in a few months.

The house is beautiful as well as the scenery but what made it so special was the contact with the home owner .

review
Great house overall. The site indicated two kayaks were available at the house and I even confirmed via message before booking, but there is only one double kayak. That should be updated on the listing. Also, the cleaning crew tried to come in two hours before checkout and seemed reluctant to leave when we indicated we were not ready to leave the house yet. Otherwise, the house was great and location was too! Quick drive to beaches.

Hostess with the Mostest
We rented Maryann's house to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. We found it immaculate and well stocked. Maryann was a terrific resource both before and during our visit. She gave us info on beach wheelchair rentals (Emerald Isle Fire Dept) and a beach wheelchair ramp at the Emerald Isle Public beach. This allowed us to get mom to the beach everyday of our visit. As lovely as the house is, our favorite part was the front porch. We were out there morning, noon and night - entertained by passing dolphins and boats. Maryann - thank you for sharing your lovely home and all your personal attentiveness.

Fabulous Stay in Swansboro, NC
Spent six wonderful days in "Serenity by the Sea". The house is charming on the outside and much larger inside than it appears. It is nicely decorated and well maintained. The orientation of the house allows you to watch the sunrise and and sunset from the comfortable front porch.

Beautiful view and fun time with the family
Everything we needed. We had small grandchildren at the house and was surprised to find a toy closet. The house had a lot of breakable items which in the beginning made me nervous, but kept everyone out of the front room. It worked out. With my Son and his family moving around while he is in the Marine corps family time is valuable. Thank you so much Mary Ann for sharing your home and view.

Family getaway
We rented the house while we were in the area for a family wedding. The house was exactly as described & pictured. The dock had been damaged by the hurricane so we couldn't use it. I'm glad we didn't have little kids. Mary Ann had the house decorated with all her pretty antiques. Definitely wouldn't be kid friendly. The Flotilla (boat parade decorated with Christmas lights). Was a nice surprise. We sat on the front porch and watched it. Mary Ann had made us a pie (it was Thanksgiving weekend). Thought that was very sweet.
Only things I found kind of strange was that there was food in the cabinets & some in the fridge (which she told us to help ourselves). There were used shampoo & conditioner bottles along with used bars of soap in the bathtubs. Kind of felt like we were house sitting.
One of the air mattresses didn't have the plug so only one was usable. We didn't let none of this not enjoy our stay.
We would consider staying here again
