A new Airbnb in Absecon, 'Swift Suite at Evermore Estate,' features decor inspired by Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift is known for painting vivid imagery with her lyrics, and a new rental property in South Jersey is giving fans the chance to step inside the magical world of her vast discography.
The "Swift Suite at Evermore Estate" is located at 111 N. Shore Road in Absecon, which borders Atlantic City in Atlantic County. The rental, which can accommodate up to eight guests, has four bedrooms — each decorated to pay homage to one of Swift's albums — and three bathrooms. The Swift Suite, which can also be used for private events, opened this week for online booking.

The bedroom themes include "Fearless," "1989," "Lover" and "folklore," and the rooms are decorated with colors, lyrics and objects reminiscent of each album's "Era." The aesthetics of the living room — which has a karaoke machine — kitchen, dining room and bathrooms also feature "Easter eggs" that Swifties would appreciate. The property has a pool, basketball court, grill pavilion and pool house with "Black Dog" themed wet bar.
Kyle and Ashley Tress — self-proclaimed Swifties whose wedding in September featured decor inspired by Swift's "folklore" album — purchased the Absecon house in April. It came with what Kyle described as a large "in-law suite with essentially separate home setups." He and Ashley determined they didn't need the extra space, and partnered with Krista Baum, of KB Luxury Home Hosting, to convert that part of the house into an Airbnb.
The couple was looking for a way to differentiate their Airbnb from other rentals near the shore. Their first meeting with Baum was on April 19, the release date for Swift's latest album "The Tortured Poets Department," and the trio realized they all had been up late the night before waiting for Swift to drop the new tracks at midnight. Thus, the idea for the Swift Suite was born.
"We knew with the Airbnb being located in Absecon we needed a way to attract guests and stand out from other Airbnbs in Atlantic City and neighboring beach towns," Kyle said in a release. "After our first meeting with our Airbnb host, she proposed the idea of a Taylor Swift-inspired theme based on our mutual interests and we all decided to run with it."
To celebrate the rental's launch, the hosts are offering a "Swift Suite Welcome Gift" with locally curated merchandise to the first five guests to book their stay through Airbnb. An open house will be held at the Swift Suite on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 3 p.m., allowing the public to tour the property.
