Our entire group enjoyed this house. It had a great layout, especially with nice big bunks for the kids. It is also nice how it is set in the woods, while there are 2 houses nearby it still feels isolated and quiet. Its a quick 5 minute walk to the beach, especially if you don't mind wading through the lake access point, was easy enough for some 5 year olds to handle. The lake / lagoon was definitely a fun feature that the kids really enjoyed. Host response to a few minor issues was also prompt. We'd be interested in returning. Did not venture into the area much but fresh seafood market, beach gear shops, and plenty restaurants within couple minute drive. Great time!

The property was perfect for our family of 9. Every family had their own spaces and the kids loved their bunk room.We cooked almost every night and the kitchen was well-stocked!The location is just perfect. The street is so quiet in comparison to being right off of 30A. And while the eastern lake beach access is unique in that you have to walk across the water to get to the shore, it makes for a really great spot. Younger kids enjoy playing in the lake area and you can also easily access the ocean.Would highly recommend a stay at this lovely property!!

Our family had a wonderful time at It Is Swell. The accommodations were perfect for us! Everyone had their space. The beautiful home is well equipped with everything we needed. It is a very easy walk to the community pool and a short walk to the beach. Sunset walks with the family was a perfect way to end a great day!

Clean, spacious, and short walk to the beach
Our time at It Is Swell was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we could tell how well-maintained and thoughtfully designed the space was. Everything was spotless and so well-organized—it made settling in easy and stress-free. The layout worked perfectly for our group, especially as a bigger family, with plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably without feeling cramped.The location was another huge plus. It’s close to everything we needed—shops, restaurants, and just a short walk or drive to the beach, which made our days super convenient and fun. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, which made it even easier to unwind and enjoy our vacation.You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating a welcoming and family-friendly environment here. We had such a great time and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend It Is Swell to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and perfectly located spot for a family getaway!

Beautiful, Spacious, & Great Location!
We had the best time during our stay, such a beautiful place! I went on a girls trip with some close family/friends and we enjoyed our time hanging out in the spacious shared living spaces, at the pool, and taking quick strolls to the beach! We were also pleasantly surprised by the coffee/shopping that was a walkable distance from our stay! Hosts are very friendly and responsive - 10/10 would recommend!!!

The house was exactly as shown in the pictures and the location was perfect for walking to/from the beach without having to rent a golf cart. Plenty of restaurants and shops within mins of the house. The hosts was easy to communicate with and send me tons of information prior to the check in date. House has plenty of space to relax and hang out. I would defiently book again.

Great Vacation!!
Our stay at "It is Swell" was fantastic!! The home was very clean and had everything that we needed and more to make our vacation perfect. The house was only about a 5-to-7-minute walk to the public beach access and never had an issue finding a spot on the beach. My only recommendation would be that a golf cart rental is a must. We rented a golf cart for our stay and it made our travel to the beach access with our chairs and other items so much easier and also made going out at night easier then dealing with a car and parking. We would definietley stay at "It is Swell" again in a heartbeat. We will be back!!!!

Nice home away from home
Two families (4 adults and 5 children) had a great week at the beach. The home was plenty big enough for all of us to eat together and ample room for sleeping. Comfortable accommodations and a short walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect Beach Stay
This is the second time we have stayed at It Is Swell, and we loved it just as much as the first. The location is perfect for a family with littles (can easily play at the ocean, in Eastern Lake or at the pool). We rent a golf cart which makes getting to the public beach access with all of our stuff a breeze. The house is beautiful and has all of the amenities we need. The street is street lined and transports you to what you think a tiny beach village should look like. The owners are also wonderful and great communicators. Nothing but positive things to say!

Amazing home for a family vacation!
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. "It is Swell" accommodated our combined families of 4 adults and 5 children perfectly! The house is appointed with all necessities and comforts to prepare meals, rest and relax! We have rented homes in the 30A area over 8 years and this home was by far a favorite!
The hosts were very attentive and responsive! My only recommendation is for those who are pool lovers, ask the hosts what the status is on the maintenance for the community pool. During our stay there was a challenge with accessing the pool the first couple of days and it did not appear to be maintained at the level you would expect of such a nice community. Our hosts again were very responsive and this is no reflection on them or the home.
Thank you for a WONDERFUL home away from home experience!

Fabulous location and great house!
The house was conveniently located to the beach. It was clean, updated and was stocked with everything you need in a kitchen! Front screened in porch was a bonus as was the Weber grill.
