A Few Days in Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From booking to check out, Blue Swell communicated frequently and responded in a helpful way to any questions we had. Check-in instructions were clear, as were those as we departed. Bathroom amenities were of high quality. Although we did not use the laundry facilities, it’s a plus to have them available. The house is lovely, and we felt at home right away. The kitchen is as well-equipped as one could wish, and the furnishings throughout the house are attractive, comfortable, and stylish. Nearby is the pool, and the beach is an easy walk away. After a restful 4-day Christmas visit, we reluctantly checked out but are already anticipating a future visit.

The house was perfect and clean. We loved the location to the beach also. Only issue we had was that the neighborhood codes seemed to have switched from the ones we were sent prior to the stay. This included the pool and beach access gates. The gate near us was also closed and did not work at night but the opposite end gate was open the whole time.

Beach Vacay

The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The walk to the beach was a little longer then we realized but still convenient. We had a few issues with wrong codes and no power in one bedroom however the management company was super quick to resolve both issues. Would definitely recommend this property.

The property is a great vacation rental. Our only real complaint was that the A/C was not working when we arrived. The temperatures for our entire stay were extremely high. People came to work on A/C several hours after we arrived and returned again on the next two days. The main floor never cooled well. This property should not have been rented until the HVAC issues are resolved.

Too Big for the Bunk Beds, Just Right for the Rest!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay. Location was perfect. The house was roomy enough for all 8 of us and made for a cozy getaway. The kitchen was surprisingly spacious and made cooking together fun with plenty of room for everyone to pitch in or just hang out and taste-test. We had to improvise a little with the sleeping arrangements. Our boys didn’t quite fit in the cubby style bunk beds. We probably should’ve booked this spot before they hit their growth spurts! Parking was a little tight, but honestly, we'd definitely come back again!
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Sept, 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear the home worked well for your group and that the kitchen became a fun gathering spot—those are the best vacation moments! We appreciate your feedback on the bunk beds and parking; it's helpful as we continue to make improvements. We'd love to have you back anytime (hopefully before the next growth spurt!).

Most of all was good, except for access codes for the beach, the Internet, the neighborhood gate.None of them were updated and it was until the second or third day we got the correct ones Grill gas tank was empty, and none of TV 's were able to connect to the Internet for the whole week.I was constantly in touch with the company but after all we just decided to relax and forget about those issues.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the outdated access codes and the issues with the internet, TV connections, and grill. That’s certainly not the seamless experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been—especially at the start of your stay. We appreciate your patience and the fact that you chose to make the most of your vacation despite those hiccups. Your feedback is extremely helpful, and we’re taking immediate steps to ensure better communication and that all access information is up to date for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a smoother, more enjoyable experience next time.

We loved the location of this house. Walk to beach was short and a pretty walk on a shaded boardwalk. We rode bikes to Grayton, Seaside and Santa Rosa.
