Summary: This is our second time we have stayed at South Swell and we have loved it both times. Kelly and Bob are excellent hosts and are very good communicators. We forgot a bike lock and they left one on the porch for us when we arrived. The property is perfect for a family with teenagers and a dog. We will book again for sure!

Summary: I'm not sure I can think of enough superlatives to describe this home. I travel full-time, so I stay in a lot of short-term rentals, and this one shines above the rest. The host has thought of everything a guest could possibly need and has provided it. The home is beautifully designed and stocked without feeling cluttered. There are several very nice mid-century modern furniture pieces. The beds are comfortable. The location is absolutely stunning. The home sits on a very quiet street, and the yard backs up to the inlet making for a perfect peaceful forest retreat. To sit out back and watch the sandpipers come in to hunt for dinner as the tide goes out is pure bliss. Highly recommend.

Summary: We had an amazing experience. We booked 5 nights for a family vacation with the grandkids. The property was perfect. It had all the amenities needed, even towels for the hot tub, which the girls loved. The place is perfectly located in a nice quiet semi secluded area with access to the beach. The beds were comfortable, everything was super clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare simple meals, including. Cupboards of spices. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to book again. It’s perfect.
