Dip Net: 4 BR, 3.5 BA House in Crystal Beach, Sleeps 14

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was nice clean and in order. The house was perfect for our guests.

Overall the property was great. There was several maintenance issues that was needed (rusted chains on swings, loss and/or rotted board on the deck/stairs, mold in master shower, doors difficult to open/close, etc. The view was great and the distance to the beach was incredible. It would be nice to have a fire pit but the distance to the beach wasn't too bad for doing a campfire there. It would also be nice to have a bridge to walk to the beach (the one that is there is private property). The only negative on check in was the need for directions, not just the address and instructions for the door since it was awkward for opening/closing. There is a lift there which would be WONDERFUL for loading/unloaded but it isn't available for use. This could have been communicated too so we didn't get our hope up. LOL. Overall, I would go again!!

The house itself was very nice, and the view was great. We were very happy with these aspects of the trip. However, there was quite a bit of trash both inside the house and outside in the grass / sink left from the guests before us that we felt obligated to clean up to avoid being blamed for it ourselves. It wasn't anything super gross, but we found several beaded necklaces, bracelets, bottles of water, and adult beverage cans that were left behind. In addition to this, the downstairs shower is extremely slippery and has no bath mat. On the day we arrived, I slipped when stepping into the shower and had to go to the emergency room in Winnie. I informed the property manager's office of this issue when I returned the keys.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautifully updated and comfortable! Plenty of space for our group of 8 to spread out or gather for games. This was a Thanksgiving visit and the kitchen was well-stocked. I was glad that I brought my largest pots, a potato masher and pie dishes, though.Beds were comfortable. The younger kids loved the bunkroom! We brought our own linen and towels. I would've liked blackout curtains in the bedrooms. But the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. My parents enjoyed the private balcony from the master bedroom.The TV internet was pretty spotty. We only watched one movie but had plenty of other things to do. Maintenance came right away to get the internet working again.The view was wonderful! The location was the best we've had. We've stayed in 3 other locations and this was our favorite, by far. There is a path in back of the property to take you right onto the beach. Very convenient! We had a blast!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not sure where to begin. The main thing above being dirty was the DANGER of the railing on the deck. LOOSE BOARDS that my 2 year old granddaughter could have easily fell through! To make this simpler to read I am going to list the things wrong with this rental:1. Railing is dangerous2. Poop on deck and porches3. Yard not mowed4. Screens broke and cut into5. Air vent was beyond dirty6. Food stuck on kitchen faucet 7. Kitchen table dirty8. Couches and furniture had hair on them. (Dog and human)9. Stains on comforter. ( they have you make up the beds without any sheets before you leave so that tells you they aren’t washed!!)10. Sink leaking onto the floor and other one stopped up. (Master bath)11. No water pressure in showers12. Refrigerator has missing shelves13. Not able to use the lift14. Thermostat kept adjusting itself to keep temp up so we had to keep lowering it to stay cool.15. Roaches under our clothes the morning we left This home is possibly being spot cleaned only ..... for sure not deep cleaned. I had to clean it when we arrived. It’s a true shame because this is a beautiful home and views and close access to the beach are awesome, but don’t be fooled. I am trying to save someone $595 a night ! Look further for your house. Also, do not be fooled on any of the houses reviews on Swedes because they look good. However look on VRBO etc. Had I have seen those first I would not have booked. It looked good on Swedes. Swedes has been fine in the past but this was unacceptable. After all of this being told to them I was offered NOTHING!! No discount, etc!! I was asked for pictures. You didn’t need picts for most of this. Just a drive over there would prove it!

Loved how close it is to the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Main floor is in need of an update especially the kitchen. Refrigerator had no shelves on door and freezer was missing shelves and door shelves. This made it difficult to store all of our food for our 7 meals for 7 people.Ice maker was also filthy and did not work! The kitchen was absolutely filthy. Roach droppings and dead roaches, all lower cabinets were heavy dusty with dried food. Everything in lower cabinets and 1 upper cabinet were in disarray. It was horrible. Called Swedes Real Estate about the filth. They apologized and sent a housekeeper. We left to walk the beach and upon our return we saw that absolutely none of the cabinets were touched. We called Swedes again. Once again they apologized and sent cleaner back. The housekeeper had no problem telling us it wasn’t her house and she was almost home when she got the call. We thought that was very unprofessional of her trying to make us feel bad for something that was not our fault. Also, beware... they charge for linens! $120! In all my travels I have never had to pay for linens! Plus, you have to put the sheets on the beds upon arrival! Not cool! Who wants to arrive on vacation and have to put linens on 8 beds?!
