It would have been better to have more than 2 cups for the coffee machine. It would have been nice to have an electric tea pot to boil water for tea or a french press coffee maker. the microwave is not the best to boil water. It was a good idea to use an old store front for a small apartment. The restaurant next store was nice for breakfast and being on the water was nice. I would replace the two bar stools and table with a round table and chairs, it would be easier to use.

Great place for a relaxing getaway

Great location if you don't want to stay right at the beach, but it is just a short drive away. The rental property was very clean, well maintained, and I like the rustic look and decor of the studio. I loved the quaint old town of Swansboro and much of the shopping, dining and entertainment is within walking distance which is great. Overall I had a great stay and would come back again.

Weekend Getaway!

Booked at the last minute for a weekend getaway. Marc was very communicative and accommodating! The unit is cute and perfect for our interests of shopping, food, and beach time. There were even games in the unit that we took next door to the cafe for a relaxing, fun meal. The reason for 4 stars: we could easily hear people walking on the floor above us in the morning hours and the property's parking lot is shared with the community, and it was full (as was the one across the street) when we returned to the unit around dinner time/sunset. This said, we would definitely stay here again!
