This is a really lovely property. The pictures do not do it justice, which is too bed. Very comfortable. The single bed downstairs is terrible (also too bad) and there is not even salt and pepper in the kitchen, but these are livable things. Over all, an excellent choice.

I was very, very disappointed and uncomfortable at our stay there as well as all of my family involved. The house is in disrepair inside the kitchen needs an upgrade, not well stocked also no screens on door, which made it very difficult in a hot spell out the house out without opening windows,Tthe house smelled moldy, and musty. Hinges on one bedroom door were broken and the toilet upstairs would not flush. The house is way overpriced for the quality and needs a lot of TLC it really should not be rented in the state it’s in. The outside in the back was lovely however, cushions were dirty with bird poop and the barbecue was filthy. I’m very disappointed and question the process of monitoring Swells properties while it’s listed. In addition, the garbage cans outside were full and look like they hadn’t been to curbside for quite a while. BTW, there are no instructions left on how to take care of the property. I.e. put out the garbage also. I could say a lot more, but I will leave it here.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 October 2026
Hello, so sorry you didn’t have an amazing experience, if any of these things were brought to our attention during your stay they would’ve have been fixed in less than 24 hours. We did state that the property did not have air condition and we had a once in a century heat wave that hit. If you needed any more supplies during your stay, a simple message would have had that resolved. You’re the first person in over 10 years to say that the house is smelled moldy and mildewy which it does not. Once again, you also could’ve checked out if you were unhappy with the property, but yet you decided to stay and leave it one star view instead and not communicate any of your grievances during your stay. Thank you and be well-
