Beach Vacation

House great. Beach narrow due to water surge from recent tropic storm. Golf carts and trucks driving to close to children. Thought pedestrians had the right of way. Dangerous situation. Community should address!

Nice house, unfortunate situation.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival the AC was not cooling, called Swedes mgmt,was told could not fix unit. We stayed anyway with portable ACs from a friend. Mgmt sent box fans and window units for the bedrooms and the stay was tolerable. I have rented from Swedes for many years and have never had this situation before. They did offer a full refund the day we arrived as we got settled into the house, but we wanted to stay.
