    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Hakuna Matata was overall a good experience, though it came with some challenges. We had originally planned to stay in two neighboring homes—Pirates Beach and Pirates Cove—but Pirates Cove was canceled on us at the last minute. Hakuna Matata was provided as a replacement, and while we appreciated having another house, it was located farther away from the rest of our group, which made things less convenient and disrupted some of our plans.That said, the house itself was pretty clean and comfortable. Upon arrival one of the bedroom doors was left open to the outside deck so it was a bit warm and the house had a stale smell. Several guests mentioned that the toilets did not flush well. Overall the house was a bit dated it run down just. It just needs some TLC. We liked the shrink-wrapped towels and sheets—having a fresh, sealed set for each room was a great touch. The beds were pretty comfortable, and the home met our basic needs.There were a few minor issues worth noting. One of the rooms cooling unit went out mid stay and late at night but was easily fixed by replacing the batteries in the remote. This house also felt a bit understocked in terms of essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap, so future guests may want to bring extra supplies.All in all, we made the best of it and appreciated having a place to stay, but the unexpected change in location and the distance from the rest of our party did take away from the overall experience.

    Our group had 4 families total, 8 adults and 17 kids. We had more than enough room in this spacious home. Our beach view and access were wonderful. Our only recommendation would be cooking utensils, pots/pans, bowls large enough to accommodate 30 people (total house capacity). It would have made it much easier on guests preparing meals in the home. Also, the house has a million dollar view of the ocean, the windows facing the beach could use a good cleaning for that first view wow factor. Overall we were very satisfied.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time! Every year a group of our friends get together at Crystal Beach right before school is out for an extended weekend.
    We’ve been using Swedes for 15 years. They make the process very simple. We have tried Vrbo’s once or twice.
    But those have all been lesser experiences. This particular home was awesome! Great lay out! Great view! All of the rooms are well appointed. The home is very well maintained and had no trouble accommodating our group of 17. This year, it was my turn to reserve the beach house and everyone in the group was very impressed with this house. I would definitely stay here again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house layout is perfect for a group!! Perfect setup. For the price though, was disappointed in several things...
    -why aren't linens put on beds?
    -there is no crockpot
    -the entire property needs a very deep clean
    -the bbq pit is horrendous! Positive -- mgmt need bring out a charcoal pit at 11 pm. But can't be used on the second floor where the fun bar setup is.
