Wonderful Time!

We love using Swedes Reaĺ Estate! This house was better in person than the pictures. The view and location is awesome for the pricing. Our only complaint would be the downstairs shower head didnt work.

Nice house and great location

Everything was perfect. We didnt have any problems other than the mosquitos and the lights downstairs are not working. It is impossible to be outside because of the mosquitos. Other than that it was beautiful and the view was very nice.

Great Views!

This house is in a great location with beautiful water views and easy beach access. The management company was very easy to work with in answering all of my questions. It would have been nice to have a bigger grill. It was also a little strange that the linens were separate, but that didn't take away from the rest of the house. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this property!
