Vintage-Modernes Cottage am Meer • Strandlage • Kamin • Schritte zum Boardwalk

Welcome to Swabby Cottage — a rare, direct‑oceanfront Carolina Beach cottage where vintage character meets thoughtful, modern updates. With your own private boardwalk and sunrise views from the moment you walk in, it feels like the classic beach house people remember, refreshed for the way we travel today.

This is a stand‑alone oceanfront home (not a condo or townhouse), with the beach visible the moment you step inside and even better from the deck. Families, couples, friends, and dog owners all settle in quickly -everything feels simple, intuitive, and ready for real vacation time.

Depending on the season, the deck becomes your front‑row seat for fireworks, air shows, drone shows, and the kind of beachfront magic you can only experience when you’re truly oceanfront.

OCEANFRONT BEDROOM
A split‑king adjustable bed with massage, under‑bed lighting, and an ocean‑view workstation. A 42” Samsung Smart TV and a 27” monitor make it easy to relax or work with a view.

SECOND BEDROOM
A queen adjustable bed plus sturdy adult‑friendly Twin XL bunks. Another 42” Samsung Smart TV makes this room great for families or groups.

BATHROOM
Clean, bright, and stocked with Green Tea Lemongrass toiletries, plush towels, and a high‑speed hair dryer.

KITCHEN AND DINING
A fully equipped kitchen with HexClad cookware (stove, oven, dishwasher, and metal‑utensil safe), Samsung appliances including a full‑size refrigerator, oven with child‑safe knobs, real cooking tools, and a curated coffee setup. You’ll also find wine, margarita, and adult glassware, plus plasticware for the deck or beach. Salt, pepper, olive oil, and a variety of common spices are supplied to make cooking easy.

The large table doubles as a game spot, prep area, drop zone, or charging station, giving you plenty of space to gather, cook, or spread out.

LIVING AREA
Ocean views, a 65” Samsung Smart TV, a cozy electric fireplace, and a queen fold‑out couch for extra sleeping space. The dog crate doubles as an end table or extra desk.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Your private boardwalk leads straight to the beach — no elevators, shared hallways, stairwells, or condo crowds. The deck has room for meals, morning coffee, and end‑of‑day unwinding, with rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs positioned for ocean views.

You’ll also find beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, a foot‑wash station, and a private outdoor shower for easy cleanup after sandy adventures.

Depending on the season, the deck becomes your front‑row seat for fireworks, air shows, drone shows, and other beachfront events — all without leaving home.

DOG FRIENDLY
A chic brass‑and‑white crate, bowls, and thoughtful touches make traveling with your dog easy.

WALK TO EVERYTHING
Free, private parking makes arrival easy. Park once and enjoy the Boardwalk, restaurants, donuts, live music, rides, and nightlife — all just steps away.

LOCAL FAVORITES
Aquarium, Fort Fisher, ferry to Southport, Wilmington Riverwalk, Cargo District, Mayfaire, Airlie Gardens, and the USS North Carolina.

MEANING OF SWABBY
“Swabby” is a classic World War II–era Navy nickname for a Sailor — especially the hardworking deckhands who kept the ship spotless and shipshape. The term carries a sense of camaraderie, tradition, and life at sea, making it a fitting namesake for a cottage perched right on the ocean’s edge. Swabby Cottage embraces that same spirit: simple, timeless, and always ready for a day on the water.
