After the repairman informed us Saturday afternoon that parts wouldn’t be available until Tuesday afternoon, I anxiously started hunting for beach rentals in Texas. Remembering Swede’s Real Estate, I called and Michelle was able to find a house that was available and an owner who would allow us to bring our dog. We arrived on Sunday about noon, got the key, and headed to the house. It was in a perfect location, Driftwood, across from the Big Store and close to island essentials. We enjoyed the 2BR/2B & our time on the deck and inside living area when the rain came. Although not on the beach, it was a short walk over the pedestrian bridge and outside the neighborhood one street over was a road for beach access with your permitted vehicle. We think it would be great for us to rent again with our extended family.

The only comment I could really make about this specific rental was the access to the beach- we had to drive around since it was blocked off the other side. I get it, if it was allowed it would be a thrufare for all. The neighbors also blocked access into the drive way for this home upon arrival but it was nothing that we couldn't request they move their vehicles and go about our business and not a reflection of this rental specifically. We fit 5 people comfortably in this rental and I would have to say this is one of my favorite homes and I hope the next owners continue with Swedes. I am also sad that the checkout times have changed and we lose a half day- this makes the line for the ferry rather long since everyone is checking out/leaving at the same time.

The home was excellent. The only thing is that the cleaning crew did not clean completely before we got there. Dirty linens were still there and the fridge was dirty. The bathroom rugs were dirty as well. I had to put them to wash.

Dirty, sticky countertops, dust everywhere, found dried egg on a wooden spook in kitchen drawers, a big ball of hair on the bedroom vanity. Mattress covers were dirty. Huge crack in master toilet seat. Shame house isn’t bad, I told Swedes the day I arrived and they just said they speak with their cleaning service. Didn’t offer any sort of compensation. I left that place way cleaner than when I arrived as I had a bday party that next day. Ver disappointed in Swedes and their response. Won’t stay w them again.
