Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Swan Dive did NOT disappoint! Amelia has thought of every detail. The cottage is beautiful, yard impeccably landscaped. Includes all the little things you miss from home, fan next to the bed, extra towels, grill, cookbooks, so many little touches included you don’t always have with a VRBO property! She allowed us to check in early, as we were coming for a wedding in town & needed to get ready. Communicated when needed. Will most definitely stay again when we’re in Clear Lake. Thank you! ##### Michaela M. Stayed 1 night in May 2025
