Several other houses managed by Swedes are also nearby if you are planning a family reunion, or larger gathering!

A summer dream

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Good. Close to beach and easy access. We were there for just the weekend. TX Golf Carts did a 1 night rental which made our time on the beach fun. The comforter on the primary bed needs replacing due to a huge stain in the middle. We rented linens but brought paper products, soaps, coffee, condiments, food with us. The house was missing a can opener and hangers. If there is something you want or need, bring it. Key was not available for after hours pickup. It was delivered in about 20 min.

Family weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 Reviewer Comments: Though the home has some over used items and make it look a little outdated, it has plenty of family space. Large kitchen and 2 baths helped a lot. The location is very near the ocean and makes it great to walk to the beach. The extra services offered by the management company are a must as you don't have to carry a lot personal items, i.e. towels and bed linens. Over all I say I'll stay in this again and recommend it to anyone going to Crystal beach.

Nice place, but would not rent again.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The struggle of the rental itself was enough to not make me want to stay there but time and spaces were limited. I've never rented anything, cabin, home etc where I had to request and pay for sheets and towels. The house can only hold 12 people but not very comfortably. The "septic" not being able to hold up to the max occupancy and being told if I had more people there I should rent a port a potty was not something I would have expected. When we arrived the downstairs was disgusting with bird feces all over the concrete and bars. Chalk writing all over the posts, grass was shin high. Had to call, take pictures and send them to the realtor to have them come out the next day to mow. We cleaned all the bird **** up ourselves. Renting a beach cabin is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable, this was not. It's a nice place, but not worth the hassle.

An accident waiting to happen.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Furniture was dirty ! Pots and pans had dried food on them. Support rails on deck were not screwed down. Wires on lights on deck walk way were exposed. Pillows and comforters were dirty and stained. There was not a smoker as shown on listing. Shower did not work in guest bathroom. We lost three days of our vacation waiting on steam cleaners, plumbers, and maintenance staff. I

Great Beach House

This house was very comfortable. Loved the downstairs area and swing. They obviously love dogs. The house had a dog bowl and kennel with a bed in it. Our black lab felt very welcome 😊. The only negative thing I experienced happened before I got there. I had reached out to the management company to inquire about the cooking utensils, just to confirm I didn’t need to bring anything since nothing is listed in the description. Their response was “they could not confirm the house had any utensils because each house is owned by different individuals and they were only the management company” . I found this very odd. FYI, The house does indeed have plenty of cooking utensils. We loved it and will definitely stay here again.

Location was the only good thing

The property was supposed to be non-smoking but as soon as we entered the property it smelled of smoke. The smoke alarms went off 4-5 times during our stay after several visits from maintenance. There were problems with both queen beds and the cleanliness of the floor and it didnt seem like anyone cleaned under the furniture. Management at Swedes eventually reimbursed us for a nights stay but we had to contact them several times during our stay and I dont ever recall receiving an apology for the issues we faced.

Nice place for large family. Mosquitos were really bad down stairs.

The property is nicely laid out. AC was cold. Everything worked well. Close to beach. Nice views from balcony. Only complaint, Mosquitos were really bad downstairs. The lots on both sides of property are overgrown and have standing water.
