Road to property

The house was perfect for us. The big problem was driving our Tesla through a foot of standing water on the unmaintained road to the house!

Cute 2 bedroom house. Kitchen was well stocked and all appliances worked well. Love that it is pet friendly and has a fenced back yard. Short walk to the beach. Fit the bill for what we needed.

Your review will not let me post more than about 50 words so let me just say it was terrible.

The pictures you posted were very deceiving. You could not see the ocean at all from that property.

It was easy to find with the Garmin. The inside was spaced out so if someone was watching TV someone else could sleep.

It's a cute 2/2 cottage. Minutes from the best beach. Easy access to town. Great in some ways, fell short in a few other ways. Needs some TLC.

Conveniently located place for our family and dogs

This modest, cozy, and comfortable home is conveniently located close to the beach, and felt just right for us and our dogs. We loved the fire pit and thoughtful touches.

Decent little house

The house was comfortable, clean (with the exception of underneath the bathroom sink) and well stocked with everything we needed, including firewood near the fire pit. Very pet friendly. Living room furniture could use a little update but we were comfortable, and it served our needs well. We would stay again.

Quiet Little Getaway

Nice place for a quiet getaway. Kind of a quirky little place, but cozy. Needs some TLC on the decks though. Would be nice to update the toilets in both bathrooms or at least one of them to one of the new higher ones to accommodate older folks. 2nd bedroom does not have power outlets that allow for plugging in laptops with the 3-prong power cord, would be nice to have that upgrade.

Not as advertised

The house was dirty, not set up for children, and not close to the beach as advertised. The floors are coming apart, the dishwasher didn’t work, there were weird stains on some of the walls, the comforter on the master bed was dirty, the bedding was cheap and crunchy, the beds were hard as rocks and were actually painful to sleep on, there was one children’s toy, no pack n play, no high chair, so no where for our infant to sleep, there were no closet doors on the closet in the hall so everything was easily accessible for the baby which was stressful, and he found an empty screw top beer can under the sink in the master bathroom- oh, and a nasty old crunchy makeup brush. The house was dark even though the pictures made it look light and bright. The master bathroom toilet runs after flushed for quite a while, and you have to cross your fingers and hope it actually flushes. The couches are so old that it feels gross to sit on them, definitely not relaxing. One of the couches is covered with a gross slip cover. This house is advertised as being super close to the beach, however it’s a bit of a walk especially with little kids, we ended up driving. We will not be staying here again. I would have gladly paid a little more for a cleaner and more updated house.

Rental house that is a bit tired

Pros- quiet neighborhood near the beach. New appliances, baseboard heaters work well after the first night, nice deck and garden. Cons- neither bed was very comfortable and the second bed was like a cheese grater. Ended up sleeping on the couch which was also worn out. House was cold the first night. We were not able to make the pellet stove work, but didn’t realize we didn’t need it until after we bought pellet starter gel. Kitchen utensils and pots were dirty and worn. The random collection of flatware and kitchen gadgets made cooking an adventure.

Not the greatest stay

This place is in a good location for exploring the Florence area, but that’s about it. Neighborhood is a little gross, the walk down to the beach is along busy roads without sidewalks or a shoulder, the beds are basically just box springs and we had multiple issues with the property that we never addressed with anything other than an automated text response. Clogged sink, broken garbage disposal, a leak from the bottom of the toilet and heat that just randomly stopped working. Vacasa just doesn’t care about taking good care of properties the way private owners do, and it shows. Stay elsewhere.

Cute old house

This is a nice house. Kind of dated but clean. There was a septic/sewage smell in the master bdrm though. There were notes in the bathroom that it was an old system.

Fun weekend!

The house was great and perfect for us! Loved enjoying the hot tub at night and the bbq for dinner! House was well equipped with everything you needed. The only thing I would say that was unexpected was the fact that there was a Roku and no cable, so it took us some time to figure that out. Nothing was logged in except for Netflix and I think it was actually a previous renters account. I would suggest that if you are going to have something like a Roku that you create accounts for guests to use so that things are logged in and easy.
