Great Location
This lakeside cabin was located very close to beautiful beach. We didn’t use beach since we were with family located in a beachfront house. The house was very well stocked with everything a person could need on vacation. We’d definitely stay here again, we were very comfortable.

We really liked the place. It is cute and private and has a lot of room. It is stocked with everything you could ever need. Check in and check out was seamless. Thought it a little odd that they asked me to start laundry. I did and all is good. I would stay again.

2 Seniors’ 10 Days at Swansea Point
First impressions were good. We were disappointed to see that the front deck [pictured], had not been cleared of debris or sticky residue from overhanging trees. Similarly, the rear deck had not been cleared either. Pads and cushions for the outdoor furniture had been stored away somewhere. Likely in the garage. We did not use any. Except for access to the rental unit and the back yard grill, we did not use either deck. As soon as we entered the rental unit, there was an over-powering smell of cannabis. We called the unit’s manager who assured us that she was not aware of the smell and that it could not have originated in the unit. Still we, and friends who came to visit, noticed the odour throughout our stay. The tap water had such a strong odour [likely H2S dissolved gas] that we did not drink it. When we called the unit’s manager to inquire, she advised that: “We drink it.” Thankfully, there was bottled water available. We were later advised that the homes and cottages on Swansea Point do not have access to “city” water. We looked into it further to discover that the water for all units on Swansea point is untreated water sourced from a deep well. The interior of the rental unit is immensely packed with the owner’s belongings. Hundreds of aged DVDs. Countless books. Nickknacks of every description adorned the furniture [pillows] shelves, tables and counters. Just too much “stuff”. The kitchen was no exception. Every drawer seemed to be stock full. 20 or 30 bread knives? Same for spoons and forks. Pots and pans aplenty. Overwhelming. The instructions for accessing the internet for the TV persuaded us not to use the TV at all. The unit has two bedrooms. We used only the “master” bedroom. Sleep was quite uncomfortable since the owner had place a rubber sheet directly under the bottom, cotton sheet. It was quite hot during our stay with daytime temperatures in the mid- to high 30s. Thankfully, the rental unit had one 18” reciprocal fan [although its base was broken]. The propane grill in the rear yard is on its last days. The heating elements are severely corroded and the grill temperatures are not consistent. We did use the grill on two occasions. The fridge door does not close on itself. And when closed, it opens on its own when the freezer compartment is opened. The WiFi was consistent but slower than that to which we are accustomed. Overall Value of Swansea Point, Property ID 1174023; 2 of 5 stars.

Lovely cottage
Lovely cottage very well equipped with almost everything. Not waterfront but close to the beach. Quiet area. The water from the taps has an odour so if you’re not used to it, bring your own water or ensure they have a water dispenser in place.

Cozy house in great location
Stayed for a few days in this lovely decorated house. The kitchen is well equipped, the kids really liked the bunk bed and there were also coloring pencils and games available. The location is fantastic with just steps away from the beach. The only item to note is that the queen bed mattress was too soft for our taste. Overall, we enjoyed the house for our stay.

Great property andd very pleasant stay! Definately a future prospect for a longer stay.

Very clean and well stocked. Location was wonderful. Only issue that I must mention.. the tap water was truly disgusting and certainly undrinkable. Smelled like sewage. The first shower I took I nearly threw up and came out smelling like the water. We didn't shower the remainder of our stay. Host said she was looking into it but I recommend you bring your own drinking water.
