The area was conveniently located to all things we wanted to do while there. There was a nice walking trail. We were unable to use the paddle boats as they had dirt and water in them. Our house slept 5 but there was only enough porch seating for 3. The home is nicely done and the beds were comfortable, pillows not so much but we brought our own. I would agree with others on cleanliness. The countertops, fridge needed some wiping, the coffee pot still had coffee and coffee grounds in it. The dinner table was wet with something that smelled fruity, but nothing a few clorox wipes and the dishwasher couldn't handle. Overall the place is nice and we would stay again.

After reading the review from Sept. 2022, I thought I would give this property the benefit of the doubt. Surely the complaints mentioned had been addressed. Nope.
I too will start with the pro's. The beds were very comfortable, she left fresh eggs for us which were delicious and the stove is gas.
The house is in need of a deep cleaning. Do not walk around barefoot, your feet will turn black. There was a grittiness to all the surfaces. There was old kibble in a dog dish with pieces scattered on the floor and stale water in the bowl. The dishwasher is still as described. The shower doors have no bottom track and just swing freely. No drain cover. Both mornings found dozens of dead knats in the shower. I looked up from the sink in the kitchen to see the next door neighbor (50 ft. away) standing on his deck only in his boxer briefs. Good grief!
In my opinion the owner should remove this listing until she fixes the issues. I do not wish to return.

In the interest of leading with the positives, the check-in process was smooth and the beds were comfortable (with the exception of the pillows which were worn and need replacing).
Otherwise, this house was a disappointment and the listing misrepresents many aspects.
First, the house obviously hasn’t been professionally cleaned in quite some time. It was overall grimy and in need of cleaning attention. The dishwasher was falling out of the counter and the coffee pot had barely been rinsed out after the last use. The pots and pans you see in the photos are provided in a dirty, dusty, disorganized heap at the bottom of one cabinet in the kitchen and everything requires cleaning before use (if it’s even usable at all). Towels provided in the kitchen are stained and there are only previously used sponges available (and, a few paper towels left at the end of a roll, so plan to bring your own).
The half bathroom has a sink so clogged it fills with just a simple hand washing.
The hot water ran out quickly in the midst of two short showers each day.
The patio that looks so beautiful in the photos is actually dusty and dirty and the couch is caving in, so it’s unusable.
While this isn’t the owners’s fault, per se, the water reeks of sulfur and it tastes and smells terrible when showering or brushing teeth—this felt like icing on the cake with all of the other challenges.
Finally, the house is in a glorified mobile home park—not quite the sanctuary the listing suggests.
Overall, we felt totally mislead and would not recommend this property to someone else. This is a great example of VRBO needing to vet their properties and management more closely, so renters aren’t mislead to such a degree.

Nice wooded property in a campground. Beautiful inside, could be a little cleaner (didn’t seem like a cleaning company came through) but all in all a great place for going to a wedding at Renault.

Solid, dog-friendly home base for South Jersey vacation
We had a generally positive experience during our recent stay at the Sanctuary House. Among the positives: the appliances were new and worked well, the keyless entry was straightforward, and the property provided dog bowls for our pets. While this may have been our fault, we found the listing a bit misleading: the lake shown in the Vrbo photos isn't visible from the house and is about a five-minute walk away. We also found some other problems with our stay: the floors were sandy upon our entry and some basic supplies such as paper towels were not provided.

Booking was easy. Joy is friendly, accommodating and on the spot helpful. The house is lovely and the area is quiet and refreshing. It was exactly what we needed for our wedding weekend.
We all enjoyed our stay.

I loved the rental. I was under the impression from the pictures that the house was private without neighbors close by. There are houses right next door on both sides. This is a retirement community. My sweet little dog chased a squirrel and the property manager threatened to fine me. The next door neighbor, permanent resident, was high on something and came out with his dogs off leash and wanted to join our campfire. I did NOT appreciate either of these 2 intrusions. This was NOT private.

My family and I set off looking for something dog friendly and near the beach without being directly on the beach but we still wanted things to do while not at the beach. This was the perfect spot! 15 minutes to the beach and very close grocery and other shops. When we were not at the beach we really enjoyed spending time at the lake; fishing, kayaking and paddle boating. We loved that so much was available in the community shed as it really cut down on what we had to pack and bring along ourselves. The house was clean and well maintained. The fire pit and grill in the backyard were a big hit with my Fiance. And the wide open field area in the backyard was perfect for our dog. We loved how friendly everyone inside the property was, everywhere we turned were happy faces. We will return for sure and would highly recommend Swan Lake Resorts to our family and friends. Amazing time! Thank you!

This property offered a clean comfy place to stay. It was 30 mins to the beach with free street parking. We enjoyed the complimentary kayaks and paddle boat without having to wait. We did find ticks to be a slight issue so bring bug spray. We would definitely stay at this location again.

Amazing place
Our stay at the place was amazing. Loved how clean and organized it was. Also we were a little lost so I called the host/person in charged and she was super nice and helpful and made sure she stayed on the phone with me until we made it inside of the house. Absolutely loved that, I've stayed in other locations and they usually rush you off the phone or take forever to reply. I highly recommend this place and I am definitely going back for the summer.

Family get away
My family had a wonderful stay, we loved the back porch & fire pit and the owners provided plenty of firewood. The house was immaculate and everything we needed was provided, we enjoyed TV's in every room, Alexa for music and the fireplace. The kitchen was amazing as we love to cook! We will definitely book this again! Thank you for having us :)

We loved our stay at the Swan Lake. Last year we stayed at the Lake House and loved it too. This year we got a dog and needed a new place so we rented the Sanctuary House. The house was very comfortable, there was a fire pit in the back yard on which we could cook, owner provided a lot of firewood and even brought more during our stay. Lake is beautiful and had kayaks and paddle board. We had a great vacation and will probably come back next year! Thank you very much!

Excellent private getaway!
This rental was the perfect place to stay in for a vacation with the family. Beautifully decorated and designed for comfort practically everything you need was provided by the owner who was friendly and professional to work with. My family enjoyed the lake and surrounding attractions. A few minutes from Cape May, OCNJ, AC and WIldwood, definitely more comfortable then any hotel we have stayed in. So much room to feel comfortable. Perfect for 4-5 guests. The porch was a perfect comfortable setting for activities , whether a bbq, campfire or listening to nature. The beds were extremely comfortable and having all of the smart gadgets made the stay even more relaxing. We finally got to see a swan towards the end of our trip, gorgeous lake views and trails were a fun experience for all of us. Definitely will be coming back again.
