Great Beach House

This house was very comfortable. Loved the downstairs area and swing. They obviously love dogs. The house had a dog bowl and kennel with a bed in it. Our black lab felt very welcome 😊. The only negative thing I experienced happened before I got there. I had reached out to the management company to inquire about the cooking utensils, just to confirm I didn’t need to bring anything since nothing is listed in the description. Their response was “they could not confirm the house had any utensils because each house is owned by different individuals and they were only the management company” . I found this very odd. FYI, The house does indeed have plenty of cooking utensils. We loved it and will definitely stay here again.

Location was the only good thing

The property was supposed to be non-smoking but as soon as we entered the property it smelled of smoke. The smoke alarms went off 4-5 times during our stay after several visits from maintenance. There were problems with both queen beds and the cleanliness of the floor and it didnt seem like anyone cleaned under the furniture. Management at Swedes eventually reimbursed us for a nights stay but we had to contact them several times during our stay and I dont ever recall receiving an apology for the issues we faced.

Nice place for large family. Mosquitos were really bad down stairs.

The property is nicely laid out. AC was cold. Everything worked well. Close to beach. Nice views from balcony. Only complaint, Mosquitos were really bad downstairs. The lots on both sides of property are overgrown and have standing water.
