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: The house was very dirty. There was several stains that smelt like pee/poop. There was ants in the room with the two twin beds. The outside of the house was overgrown with weeds. There was several leaks in the ceiling and the wall to the queen bed room. There was a back up in the drains whenever you did laundry. The vacuum did not work well at all, and the master bed room with the tub had dirt in it. We kept our shoes on the whole time due to the carpet being so nasty.

Being close to the beach is very nice. I must say that the house itself needs work. The carpet in the main living area is worn with several stains. The tile in the kitchen was sticky and stained. Worst of all, we saw several roaches. Ceiling fans were caked with dust and the wall in 1 bdr had spider webs and dust all around the window and wall. Lastly, the mattress in the Master is years past needing replacement. We will not return after spending 5-6 vacations in the Swink.

Some of the dressers were older and had been well used. The hammock and swing on the lower level was a real treat. We all enjoyed it, and the hot tub as well. Proximity to the beach was good.

Great communication with rental management.

Reviewer Comments: Good except when we arrived at 4:00 pm we found the beds unmade and no sheets so we called the reality office and they contacted housekeeping. Service was provided by 6:30. We have been coming to this house for 10 years now. I’m noticing more the walls and fans are dusty. The master bed makes such loud squeaks when getting up and down to use bathroom at now it wakes the spouse up. New mattress recommended. The indoor outdoor carpet throughout the house is old and worn. Lots of spill stains. New carpet is needed and definitely stains removed if keeping the old carpet.

Snuck away for a working vacation in October. The house is just off the beach, but a little separated from the surrounding houses and with great views of the ocean. It was exactly what we were hoping for: clean, comfortable, and accessible. Best of all, the internet allowed three people to work on-line simultaneously, with limited problems. Nobody needed to know we were at the beach! Would stay again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Swink is a great sized house and we loved the layout! It's so close to the beach and has a great view from the deck and upper deck especially. They had pretty much everything you could need there for us. The hot tub was very nice and we loved all the chairs/table out on the deck to use! Also, really enjoyed the hammock swing and chairs below the deck in the evenings. Cons- the back door didn't lock properly and it was clear from the guest book that others had complained earlier in the Summer about it and the dish disposal stopped working. The house also had ants coming in from I believe the deck. It didn't feel very clean upon arrival - I found hairs in the shower and sinks, as well as dog hair all over the master room bedding/couch and the couches out in the living room. The floor also didn't feel super clean on the carpet, which is likely because the vaccuum is so old! I like to clean up each day from any sand and the vaccuum does not work very well on the carpets at all. Further, it states they have a grill - they do, but it is dirty and in a terrible state. I'd replace that grill or get it cleaned up or just not advertise having one at all. Lastly, there is a door right at the entrance leading to the basement. The stairs are very narrow and difficult to maneuver even for an adult. Shortly after arriving, our 3-year old niece opened the door on her own and took a bad tumble down those hard stairs while we were bringing everything inside :(. That door should have a caution sign on it. We bought the child-proofing doorknob cover and left it for future guests, but a sign is highly recommended as well. However, all that said the property management company was wonderful and handled everything great for us that we brought to their attention! The property management company was very communicative. It's a great affordable option for families, but room for improvement and could easily be a great property in Southern Shores!

The house was in good shape and the rental agency was helpful in the case of any questions. The house is very close to the beach and that is a real plus! Dune buggy rental with Good Vibrations was a great time.

We noticed the walls were freshly painted and the new rocking chairs in living room. However the carpet needs to be replaced. The master bed squeaks loudly getting in and out of it. Wakes the partner up. Room darkening shades would be helpful. Thank you!
