The house was just as the listing described. The view from the deck is great, and the beach is walking distance! It was just what our family needed!

Gorgeous view of the ocean

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: 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.

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 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.

Excellent View and Excellent Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Great Views and lots of space!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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!

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.
