We enjoyed our 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.

OBX Vacation

Great trip overall. We were missing a coffee pot and the hot tub was not warming up, but the property manager fixed those issues almost immediately. Pool is small. Not many pots and pans suitable for large meals for groups. Listing stated that beach passes were included but they were not. If you need any basics for cooking (spices, oils, etc) make sure to bring them. Owner did provide a water cooler and five 5gallon jugs of water for our use.

Spacious and dog friendly

We had two dogs that were able to have their own spaces one upstairs and one down with separate entrances. The house was a bit further from the beach than we anticipated but it was in a beautiful and private location. We had many opportunities to see wild horses on our neighborhood. The house was well stocked with things to do as far as games, videos, TV, and swimming fun. The kitchen had every utensil imaginable! The microwave and dryer did not work and the vacuum cleaner at the house did not work when we wanted to clean up sand and dog hair. The hot tub was old but functional. The pool was very nice but should have been cleaned before we got there. The property was not maintained in the sense that we found trash scattered around the outside of the house. Overall, a beautiful place that needs just a bit more attention.
