Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our AC went out on Friday night of Labor Day weekend. Our kennel was already booked and temperatures within our home rose to 87. 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.

They were in a bag waiting for us upon our arrival.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the layout of the space! The master was very large and had a Queen bed, and the other room had 2 bunks (queens on bottom, twins on top). The living/kitchen area was large with comfortable seating. We liked that it came with an amazon box, so we could watch tv in the evenings. Sitting up on the top deck in the evenings was fantastic. The proximity to the beach was great, as well as The Big Store! The downstairs shower was great for washing sand off when we got back each day! We also loved that this was pet-friendly!I would suggest renters also bring hand soaps, dish soaps (liquid and for the dishwasher), and sponges (in addition to paper goods, towels, and linens) since there was none provided.

House was spacious and very comfortable. Outside deck and table and chairs was great! Only suggestion would be to mark the step up to the front door with paint or something since it blends into the deck. Tripping hazard ? We give it a 5 out of 5!

Try to stay in different house so we’re not doing same thing every time different house, different part of beach! But alway use Swedes Real Estate! But this time it was a few things wrong with house #1 only one tv working in house , glass screen door was broken so it wouldn’t close properly, downstairs shower broke and the information for the beds in house was not updated so we had no sheets to fix the beds ! But we still had a good time at Beach!!!
