The house has such character and detail. We will stay again. Close to everything in Swansboro.

Can’t wait to return!

Loved the house. We had a few hiccups but would stay again!! My sister lives in Hubert. Roaches / water bug? were mostly dead, but one crawled up my step dads leg. Issue with AC, but it was fixed as soon as possible. We only spent one night on couches Downstairs. Great back yard fenced in but the porch in the pictures was gone.

As my title says, this is the perfect home away from home! We loved everything about this beautiful historic home in Swansboro. The house is better than described, the fenced yard was perfect for our dog and our grandkids who came to visit while we were there, and you cannot beat the location. We enjoyed the front porch more than we would have ever imagined! It is so amazing! We loved the sea breeze, the comfortable seating (throughout the house as well), and we loved talking to folks as they walked downtown. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for being amazing hosts and for exceptional communications!

Some VRBO rentals are a place to sleep and shower while you go elsewhere for entertainment, activities and excursions. The Captain’s Quarters IS THE EXPERIENCE!! The host have lovingly kept the craftsman cottage charm while updating this local historic home with coastal-farm vibe. From the Southern front porch we listened to a live band at the gazebo on nearby Front Street. We enjoyed our daily visits from the Muscovy ducks and their ducklings. Locals and visitors were careful to drive slow as you never knew when a stray duckling may cross your path. Throw in some Green Anoles and an Opossum and we had quite a few wildlife sightings. As a family, we enjoyed dinners around the large dining room table. We tried a few board games. Farkle was a new one to us. We relaxed in the claw tub at the end of the day. Throughout the house is tasteful art. Yes, one expects some nautical themed pieces. In truth, these were kept to a tasteful minimum. My favorite had to be the Georgia O’Keefe prints. You can choose to stay at the Captain’s Cottage for a place to rest while visiting coastal entertainment or you can enjoy all the sweet home has to offer as the main attraction. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

Imogene and Brad are great hosts. Everything was easy to find. The house is 1 block from the water and very convenient. We hope to return. Thanks

The location is very convenient as it is walking distance to restaurants, stores ,waterfront and cruises. The home is well equipped and antique charming. The home is dog friendly and the front porch is a wonderful and all things a front porch should be!

As a child I spent every summer with my grandparents in Swansboro one street over from Capn’ Charlie’s house. To be able to share that with another generation in my family was very special.
