We had a great time, other than the heat. The house was nice and roomy. The ONLY complaints was the horrible animal pee smell in the stairway and the dated and stained upstairs furniture. I understand this is pet friendly, but for those of us whose pet is TRULY trained, it was pretty rough having to smell that. I did call Swedes and they came almost immediately to spray the carpet down with febreeze, left 3 full bottles, and returned with refills for the plug-ins. My biggest issue with this is that we paid a 125 pet why doesn't the owner use that money to clean the carpet? I feel like that was a rip off, as we made sure our pet was clean and potty trained. oh, and the pool table could REALLY use some new sticks, as only 2 are not broken, and one of those basically doesn't have a tip on it. Did see about 4-5 more sticks that were all broken. The lot out front was nice for the kids to play in. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. Probably wouldn't stay here again, unless updated and cleaned, but will definitely rent from Swedes again!! PS...also could use a pet gate for the stairs, especially since the live in, very close neighbors have 7 boxers that don't like other animals.

Our group had 4 families total, 8 adults and 17 kids. We had more than enough room in this spacious home. Our beach view and access were wonderful. Our only recommendation would be cooking utensils, pots/pans, bowls large enough to accommodate 30 people (total house capacity). It would have made it much easier on guests preparing meals in the home. Also, the house has a million dollar view of the ocean, the windows facing the beach could use a good cleaning for that first view wow factor. Overall we were very satisfied.

Reviewer Comments:
Our 6 months of planning for a vacation including 5 branches of the family resulted in unnecessary stress and disappointment rather than all fun and relaxation as advertised for a property set to accommodate 30 people for a significant cost. Unfortunately the house is in need of extermination, deep cleaning, repairs, and furniture/appliance replacement. Even after walking the property 2 weeks in advance and providing several inputs, we still had issues - rotten/standing water in dishwasher, dirty cabinets, countertops, and refrigerator, molded coffee grounds left in coffee pot, 10+ burned out light bulbs, outdoor grill does not heat up enough to cook on, and bed bugs found in back bedroom. Also during the rain on Saturday, water came in all main floor windows, resulting us placing containers to catch it and then cleaning up the mess to prevent more damage. We were offered the option to leave, not relocate, after our first night for a full refund, but after the money spent on food and necessities for the trip, and the gathering of 25+ family members, we didn't see this as an acceptable option. Once the trip was over, the owner simply provided a refund for 1 day. We've rented from Swede's before, dating back to the 80's and this is the first time we have had this type of experience.

We had a great time! Every year a group of our friends get together at Crystal Beach right before school is out for an extended weekend.
We’ve been using Swedes for 15 years. They make the process very simple. We have tried Vrbo’s once or twice.
But those have all been lesser experiences. This particular home was awesome! Great lay out! Great view! All of the rooms are well appointed. The home is very well maintained and had no trouble accommodating our group of 17. This year, it was my turn to reserve the beach house and everyone in the group was very impressed with this house. I would definitely stay here again.

The house layout is perfect for a group!! Perfect setup. For the price though, was disappointed in several things...
-why aren't linens put on beds?
-there is no crockpot
-the entire property needs a very deep clean
-the bbq pit is horrendous! Positive -- mgmt need bring out a charcoal pit at 11 pm. But can't be used on the second floor where the fun bar setup is.
