Very clean and well stocked. Location was wonderful. Only issue that I must mention.. the tap water was truly disgusting and certainly undrinkable. Smelled like sewage. The first shower I took I nearly threw up and came out smelling like the water. We didn't shower the remainder of our stay. Host said she was looking into it but I recommend you bring your own drinking water.
Good accommodations for 2 adult couples.
This lakeside cabin was located very close to beautiful beach. We didn’t use beach since we were with family located in a beachfront house. The house was very well stocked with everything a person could need on vacation. We’d definitely stay here again, we were very comfortable.
What a comfortable, cozy cabin! We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend with time on the beach, swimming in the lake and reading on the back deck.
We enjoyed the quiet and friendly atmosphere of the area . The house is fully equipped with everything you need, plenty of movies, books and games to keep you entertained. Beautiful water and beach across the road.
Excellent stay, had everything we needed.
This was a perfect fit for us. We enjoyed our stay and have already booked our next stay. Thank you.
Made this location a good starting point for some great snowmobiling around the Sicamous area. Very comfortable, quiet and just under 10 min from town. Thank you!
We really liked the place. It is cute and private and has a lot of room. It is stocked with everything you could ever need. Check in and check out was seamless. Thought it a little odd that they asked me to start laundry. I did and all is good. I would stay again.
We will definitely stay again. This cottage is in a great spot near public beach access. It's clean, charming and perfect beach vacation spot.
The cottage was perfect for our Family. Close to the beach, great indoor and outdoor space for lounging, reading and having our meals outside. Friendly neighbors. Everything thing we needed was provided at the cottage.
First impressions were good. We were disappointed to see that the front deck [pictured], had not been cleared of debris or sticky residue from overhanging trees. Similarly, the rear deck had not been cleared either. Pads and cushions for the outdoor furniture had been stored away somewhere. Likely in the garage. We did not use any. Except for access to the rental unit and the back yard grill, we did not use either deck. As soon as we entered the rental unit, there was an over-powering smell of cannabis. We called the unit’s manager who assured us that she was not aware of the smell and that it could not have originated in the unit. Still we, and friends who came to visit, noticed the odour throughout our stay. The tap water had such a strong odour [likely H2S dissolved gas] that we did not drink it. When we called the unit’s manager to inquire, she advised that: “We drink it.” Thankfully, there was bottled water available. We were later advised that the homes and cottages on Swansea Point do not have access to “city” water. We looked into it further to discover that the water for all units on Swansea point is untreated water sourced from a deep well. The interior of the rental unit is immensely packed with the owner’s belongings. Hundreds of aged DVDs. Countless books. Nickknacks of every description adorned the furniture [pillows] shelves, tables and counters. Just too much “stuff”. The kitchen was no exception. Every drawer seemed to be stock full. 20 or 30 bread knives? Same for spoons and forks. Pots and pans aplenty. Overwhelming. The instructions for accessing the internet for the TV persuaded us not to use the TV at all. The unit has two bedrooms. We used only the “master” bedroom. Sleep was quite uncomfortable since the owner had place a rubber sheet directly under the bottom, cotton sheet. It was quite hot during our stay with daytime temperatures in the mid- to high 30s. Thankfully, the rental unit had one 18” reciprocal fan [although its base was broken]. The propane grill in the rear yard is on its last days. The heating elements are severely corroded and the grill temperatures are not consistent. We did use the grill on two occasions. The fridge door does not close on itself. And when closed, it opens on its own when the freezer compartment is opened. The WiFi was consistent but slower than that to which we are accustomed. Overall Value of Swansea Point, Property ID 1174023; 2 of 5 stars.
It was the first family gathering in years now that my kids are adults. It was a perfect getaway.
Had a great time, close to amazing golf courses, hardly had to pack, was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with some friends. Would be happy to stay again in the future.
Lovely cottage very well equipped with almost everything. Not waterfront but close to the beach. Quiet area. The water from the taps has an odour so if you’re not used to it, bring your own water or ensure they have a water dispenser in place.
