Had an incredible time for new years!!
Amazing home with fabulous views! The only need for improvement is the windows were very dirty and the blinds were in need of replacement. Very minor issue. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The location of the house is perfect and the size of the home was a lot bigger than we anticipated. Overall we loved it and already want to book again. If I am being super picky, the home could have been a bit more clean. The floors were really dirty upon arrival and it could have used a better dust job. But still would book again!
Beautiful home with an amazing view. Plenty of space for everyone in the home & yard space with beach access right next to it! Perfect for my Jeep rides on the beach! When we arrived the water was turned off , they had someone out almost immediately as we went to walk the beach and came back to have it all ready! Beautiful views on the front porch. Neighbors all really kind. We’ll certainly be back.
Temps during march were 56-75. But still perfect for us getting away from snow :)

We had a great time! This is the second time we have rented this house. We plan to be back next year for Mardi Gras but unfortunately several elderly in our group have knee problems so we might have to find another house. This makes us sad because we love this one!!

Had all of the necesites in the kitchen. Very nice deck. Good size house with large living area. Would have been better if we could have used the lift. Beds were comfortable, except for the futon...that mattress needs to be replaced. Could have used a cleaning..everything was dusty. Overall we were happy with it and would stay there again!

I am tempted to give this place a bad THAT IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ME YEAR AROUND! My family and I visit here every years. We love it! We don't even consider other places to stay. Perfect view and cozy comfort. I'm out of shape but I can still race my kids to the beach, that's how close it is! And there is nothing to obscure the view. The balcony has a brand new addition so there is plenty of space for activities. Lots of room inside with full amenities. Go for it, you won't be dissatisfied, I promise!

We fell in love with this rental! The location was awesome!! Swede's employees were very helpful. This is my first time to rent from Swede's.I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness, though. We noticed dust and dirt that had accumulated behind tables,a large dead roach beside the refrigerator and a large dog bone in one of the bunk beds, even though the rental agreement stated No Pets! Over all, we will definitely rent this cabin again, and definitely rent from Swede's again!
