This house is located in a very quiet neighborhood. It was a weekend getaway to celebrate my daughter getting married. Everything was smooth from booking, to checking in and even checking out of the property. We were very pleased with our accommodations.

Great and safe experience

The home was for the most part clean and was spacious which we enjoyed. The one bathroom shower (upstairs master) wouldn’t get warm unfortunately so some of us had cold showers but aside from that we felt very safe in the neighborhood, loved the outside view, the space, and overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend to another family or group.

Great stay

Our group of 11 had a wonderful stay at the Heron's Retreat. The kitchen was well-equipped so we were able to prepare all of our meals in at the house. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. The only things missing were very minor: extra garbage bags, plastic wrap, and laundry detergent. This was not an issue for us and we would definitely book here again in the future.

Great House!

Stayed with a group of 13 (4 families in OC for a cheer competition). House was great for having 6 teenagers with us! Overall pretty clean, did have some broken glass from a lightbulb at top of stairs in hallway that we were able to see and clean up easily but could have gotten into someone's barefoot if we didn't notice. Dishwasher didn't work on last day and when I notified the property manager they responded promptly.

House needs maintenance attention

The house was big and nice inside upon first arrival. It seemed to be clean enough. The hot water heater wasn't working more than it did work. The toilet in the upstairs master bedroom wouldn't flush. Maintenance was out for the toilet issue and unable to fix. All the beds were very hard and uncomfortable. The kitchen needs to be restocked with pots and pans - the ones available looked to be 20 years old. Luckily, we were only there for a weekend and only needed to cook one meal in. I would not stay at this property again.

this house is very much outdated, the outside of the house is beautiful the neighborhood is lovely they need a whole new kitchen. They need new bed were so uncomfortable, I will never ever stay again I’m very disappointed with my stay, blood stains on the comforters and sheets pillows stained. The appliances were so old and raggedy. The ice maker on refrigerator had mildew around it. A lot of the dishes were dirty. I reached out to maintenance because the doors didn’t lock. The screen was off the hinges and they said they would send someone out they never did, that left a very sour taste in my mouth..this is my first and last time usingVACASA,i will be going back to Vrbo..

No Hot Showers Here!

House was beautiful and accommodating on everything except HOT showers. There were 13 adults in attendance for a wedding. Arrived Thursday evening to no hot water. Contacted the property manager Friday morning to get this resolved. At first, his idea worked but after two showers, the water turned back to cold even in the kitchen. A tech came out Saturday and we still didn't have hot water for the rest of the stay (checked out Monday). I contacted the local property manager Sunday evening with no response. Every day after I got home, I called Vacasa (property management company) to see what could be done for our inconvenience. After making 5 separate phone calls, I was issued a $400 refund. Mind you, our stay was 4 nights at $3400. Vacasa felt a12% refund was adequate. I did not. The cleaning crew got paid $337 and yet for the HUGE inconvenience of not having hot water only warranted $63 more. Apparently there is an issue with the hot water system because when we arrived, a note was on the counter from the last renters. It stated how the kitchen could use some more towels, etc. The last thing it said was "Reliable Hot Water" so obviously this was issue that was unresolved after their stay. The local property manager emailed me after my call with Vacasa about my stay. I emailed him the next day a page and a half letter explaining what happened. I have yet to get a response from him. So my advice is you can take a chance on this home and you decide if the loveliness of the home outweighs the fact that there could be no hot water for everyone to take showers after a hot summer's day.

Nice vacation house.

Family had a great time. Loved being by the bay watching the boats go by and grandkids loved fishing. Floors could have been cleaner and all the mattresses need to be replaced but a great house. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location and space

The home is in a great location at the north end. Some things to know. There is a dock just behind the home with water access. You can fish or boat from there. The rear covered porch was great to sit out in the mornings with coffee - just don't feed the geese.

There was hot water, prior comments had me concerned and it was not an issue. You will need to walk through one of the master bedrooms to get to the bedroom with two single beds. It had everything that we needed and we were comfortable staying there!
