Welcome to Captain's Quarters, where you can enjoy the best of front porch living in the heart of Historic Downtown Swansboro! This beautifully updated historic home is located one block from Swansboro's waterfront where you can enjoy local shops, restaurants, and relaxing by the water. The huge front porch with comfortable Adirondack chairs and outdoor sofa provide a first rate view into the comings and goings in downtown Swansboro while you relax with a cold beverage, chat with friends, or enjoy the breeze and a cup of coffee.

Captain's Quarters is the Woodhull-Buckmaster House, built in 1911 and once the home of beloved local Captain Charlie. Enjoy the best of both worlds at Captain's Quarters with the beauty and history of the home and surroundings with modern amenities and upgrades. This spacious home with original hardwood floors and plank ceilings is a local favorite and perfect for gathering with family and friends or retreating from the hustle and bustle.
A few steps from the house is our favorite lunch spot, Church Street Market & Deli. Grab a bite to eat and then walk to Front Street, along Swansboro's quaint and charming historic waterfront. Peruse local shops including Boro Girl, Willy Nilly Warehouse, Salt Marsh Cottage, Poor Man's Hole, and others for treasures to bring home. Enjoy restaurants in walking distance, such as The Boro (don't miss the shrimp and grits!), By the Bridge (shepherd's pie and jerk wings are top notch!), Yana's (classic diner breakfast with Elvis flair!), Il Cigno (delicious Italian), and others! Enjoy ice cream or a beverage while watching for dolphins on the top deck of Bake Bottle & Brew. The kids will love the Rocket Fizz candy store nearby.
When feeling more adventurous, Captain's Quarters is an ideal home base to venture to the beaches of Emerald Isle (14 minute drive) or rent kayaks from Pogie's and paddle to the islands on the Intracoastal Waterway. Book a sunset cruise from the Swansboro waterfront or enjoy a Spirits of Swansboro historical walking ghost tour in the evening.
Inside Captain's Quarters are two living rooms (each with a TV equipped with Roku, including Spectrum live TV), a dining room, a bright open kitchen with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, electric stove, and oven, and a small breakfast table area.
