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.
Things that were good:Easy Beach access and great viewPrice point for weekend rentalWell Stocked kitchenWiFiThings we didn’t like:No cable TV or Smart TVNo shower in master bath (tub only)Gate at top of stairs missing baluster (our dog snuck right through)No water plumbed to fridge (no ice)Had to check in at Swede’s just to get door code and WiFi password (seems pointless)

The property was in a beautiful location. Great view of the ocean. We loved it. It was clean nothing to complain about there. The only complaint we really had were the beds are horrible. We put three blankets on one and I ordered a duvet from Amazon. We even bought additional blankets at the big store but our back hurt so bad when we left that I had to get medical help with it. The home is nice and the wire is awesome. Just need new mattress on the beds.

We invite our closest friends to celebrate with us. The house and location were perfect. The house had everything we needed, was beautiful, and comfortable. The large deck was our place for the weekend. We sat in the oversized chairs, put our feet up on the railings and just watched the waves roll in. This will be our go-to house moving forward.

We chose this property primarily for location, beach access and floor plan. The deck proved to be the spot for hours of family kick back time. We enjoyed this well equipped and attractive home. One drawback for some could be the tub rather than shower in master bath. Swedes Rentals does an excellent job and this is a lovely property.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great vacation staying at this cabin! Although it’s two or three rows back, there is a direct open view of the beach which is really nice when we were sitting out on the front deck. Although the decor is a little dated, it’s in great shape, very clean and has plenty of space. There is a missing knob on the outside shower downstairs so it makes it difficult to turn the water on and off. It was awesome to have an early check-in and a late check out as well. We would definitely stay here again!
It started out great and then the Air conditioner quit working. Forced us to cut the trip shorter than expected.

Everything was great. Could make a few improvements but nothing major.
Everything was excellent. Only complaint was we didn't know the charges were separate for vrbo and swedes. But all in all a great experience and excellent view
This is a great place to be if you are looking for lots of activity on the beach! The property is just as described online. Great balcony with equal parts shade and sun. We had a great time!
