We had a great stay at the Swan Shack.
Overall we had an amazing experience. The house was only a 15 minute drive back to the black top & shopping. Having a pool & hot tub was terrific. The kitchen was well stocked. We would recommend this home.

OVERALL GREAT HOUSE
Perfect location. Appliances could be updated - the dishwasher was very dated. We loved the privacy at both the hotub and pool. We were so happy there were baby gates already. Perfect distance from the beach, you can hear the ocean just a bit. Would book this house again

WONDERFUL STAY
Great experience. Loved the huge kitchen island for gatherings at meals and games in the evening. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out as well. Well equipped with games for the kids, beach gear, and an overabundance of kitchen items. We woke up one morning to 5 wild horses in the front yard. What a great surprise! We enjoyed the fact that this place is quiet and secluded but just a five minute drive to the wide expanse of the oceanfront.

Almost perfect
The location is perfect for lazy days at the beach watching the wild horses. The only downside is very very slow/weak wifi. The grill was dirty and unusable. We have stayed here before and felt this time we payed a little more and got a little less in return. I would absolutely stay again but prepare my meals a little differently. Overall still a great place to stay.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to review, Sean. We appreciate the feedback so that we can improve future visits, but are glad you had an overall great vacation!

Fun glamping
The good:
Great house
Perfect pool and hot tub
We saw horses a few times
The weather was beautiful
The Bad:
GPS isn’t great for beach roads
The location is at least a 30 minute drive anywhere
Didn’t see that many horses
The beach is kind of a far walk
The Ugly:
High tide necessitates that you take a more southern road (Canary) because the northern in road (Albotross) is inaccessible
We took a couple wrong turns and scratched our car up
Some of the dune roads are very trecherous (narrow, ditches, hidden branches.)

Another excellent Carova vacation
This was our 2nd year at The Swan Shack (6th on Carova with Beach Realty), and we had an amazing trip, as always. The additional deck by the pool area was a fantastic surprise, and the new decks were a nice touch. There were some small changes made inside to allow renters more room for their items, and our group really appreciated that. The washing machine broke while we were there, and being 4th of July week, they were unable to get it repaired until we left, but these things happen. Beach Realty was quite apologetic, and we received a personal note from the Owner offering their apologies and a gift card or something to make up for the inconvenience; in this day, the personal apology in itself was more than we expected and we all felt it was more than enough to make up for a minor inconvenience. We've already booked for next year and look forward to seeing what other upgrades they may make (screened in front porch, perhaps? ��).
Manager's Response
Nicole, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the updates this year! We strive to make each guest as comfortable and relaxed as possible! We are sorry about the washing machine going down during your stay, the repairs have since been completed and it will be ready for your next visit! Until next time!

Great Place!
We had a wonderful stay and a beautiful experience! It was fully equipped and had everything we needed plus more! The only thing that could have been improved was the condition of the decks. We spent a good amount too time out there and it’s definitely in need of repairs. Other than that, no complaints! Would definitely recommend for an affordable, adventurous, relaxing vacation!

Another excellent Carova vacation
This was our first year staying at The Swan Shack, but our 5th year in a Beach Realty property at Carova, and once again, they didn't disappoint. The house was a bit "cozier" than the pictures make it appear, but well stocked in terms of kitchen equipment, linens, and beach gear. The pool was a wonderful addition to our vacation, but a pool vacuum would come in handy- it was rather sandy when we arrived and though we rinsed off before getting in, it only got worse throughout the week (I realize it is impossible to keep the sand out of a pool that is surrounded by sand). The bedroom with the twins includes one bed with a permanent rail on it, which wasn't great for our plans of pushing the beds together to make a larger bed for our adult child, but he survived ��. I would recommend removing some of the excess furniture (extra microwave, small table in lower level) to allow room for guest items, but none of this was a huge deterrent for us - we've already booked for next year!

Equipped
I have stayed at several house rentals and I must say this house had everything you need away from home and then some. The distance was a little far but can't complain when seeing the wild Mustangs in the yard as your cooking on the grill. Pool was nice and the hot tub we didn't use while being there. Overall a great place to stay if wanna have privacy and enjoy driving in the sand.

Great house in a beautiful location
We loved every minute of our stay at swan shack! The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The rental company and owner were very responsive when we had TV issues. The pool and hot tub were great, and
we appreciated having beach chairs and umbrellas at the house for our use. So much wildlife to enjoy right from the porch-horses, turtles, frogs, owls, osprey....Would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Swan Shack
The property was great and met all of our needs. The place was clean, and the kitchen had all the essentials for us to cook 3 meals a day for the entire week. The pool is small, but our kids loved it, and the hot tub is great feature. All bedrooms have a TV and the downstairs game room was a nice feature. The place comes with 2 parking permits for beach parking, which makes visiting the back ridiculously easy. We just loader all of our stuff into our SUV and then drove for 4 minutes and parked on the beach. We have a Honda Pilot that is technically AWD, but it worked fine. I highly recommend watching youtube videos on beach driving and reducing air pressure before taking the ramp onto the beach in Corolla. One additional point: the wild horses are treat. We saw several on the way to and from the beach, and on the beach itself. And based on some "deposits," it's clear that they came onto the house grounds. The beach itself is amazing. Wide open and not a lot of people. But do be mindful of the cars that drive up and down!

Lovely house
Overall, the house was as advertised and came well appointed will many nice touches. Two of the beds had been changed out from queens to kings which was a nice surprise. The kitchen was well equipped and the island was fantastic. The hot tub on the deck is a little worn but still worked fine for us. The house is cozy but lives bigger than it looks. Each bedroom had satellite TV which was nice and there was a small game room for the kids to enjoy. The house sits on a private street tucked back away from most other houses and the grounds are well kept. We had frequent visitors of the horse variety.
The management company was very responsive to a toilet issue we had and was able to get a plumber out to fix during our stay. My only complaint has to do with the water. We didn't notice at first, but the water must be very high in iron content. It comes out clear, but it left our feet, finger nails and any laundry we did with orange stains. We didn't really notice until the last couple days of our stay so did not alert the management company until we were checking out.

Thank you for your comments, we're so glad you enjoyed this terrific home, new to our program for 2020. And we do appreciate the info on the water. We spoke with the owner right after you alerted us and the owner has the iron problem taken care of. Future guests will not have this issue. Thanks again, hope to see you soon.
