Good house but bad internet

This property is good but it has terrible internet. If you have a lot of kids with devices I would say don’t book here. Other than that it was perfect

We Made the Best of It

We spoke with Customer Service MULTIPLE TIMES throughout our stay. They were able to help resolve some issues… But it was our “squeaky wheel” that kept them from dropping the ball. There was no wifi for the first 24hrs. That was EXTREMELY irritating. Then the communication went dark bc it was after hours. They just stopped communicating with us. The front door lock was completely broken. We were 100% not secured the first night. It was very scary knowing ANYONE could just walk into this home while we were asleep. Black mold in both showers. Sheets were dirty. The kitchen was poorly stocked. No bottle opener of any kind. Very cheep toilet paper and only four rolls for 7 adults for a whole week. We had to go buy more. Only two trash bags. Not enough. There wasn’t even a broom for us to sweep the sand off the deck. Deck cushions were disgusting and definitely too gross to sit on. The wood chairs were fine. I feel like they also should have supplied a beach pass to drive on the beach with our rental. We were told by Vacasa we didn’t need one, but the book inside the house specifically said we did. The grill was a joke. It was basically a huge piece of trash. The firepit that was “talked up” on website was also a mess. I do feel like we should have been warned about the SEVERE mosquito issue. It’s not normally any kind of issue, but this summer they are vicious. We couldn’t even get to the car, walk on beach in evening or mornings without being attacked and eaten alive. A simple

Nice house and location but needs to be cleaned better

The house was nice but needs a good cleaning. As soon as we entered we noticed the bad smell, wasn’t sure if it was pet or smoke.. Both showers, bedding, and dishes were all dirty, found poop on the floor in second bedroom, and the chair/ throw pillows closest to the T.v in the living room reeked of cat urine. My biggest complaint is I had to go out and buy a bbq grill because the one there wasn’t clean, was already small 19” but had two bricks with a 8x10” grill grate in it to cook on.. No way to cook for 10 people on it.

Cancellation Insurance

We paid the $75 cancellation insurance but on the bill, it said that we declined this insurance. Luckily, we didn't need it. Truly enjoyed our stay.

Very Nice House but…

The house is super cute. The beds are comfortable but could use some new pillows. Kitchen was fully stocked & gorgeous. Negatives: Very low water pressure in the showers and furniture is stained up pretty badly. Rug was covered in dog hair, sticky & stained. The small vacuum there would not suck up the hair or dirt. Could use new furniture, fresh new rug & better vacuum. Other than that everything was great! Beautiful home.

Great Vacation Home

We enjoyed renting out this house for our family trip! The space was perfect. The only thing I suggest, is they give you an extra roll of paper towels, a couple more dish washer pods and would have been nice to have a gate on the patio. The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable! Would definitely rent this place again!

Beautiful home and comfortable fits so many

The house is beautiful, so modern, the decor is perfect. It perfectly for my family of 6 with plenty of more room! One of the best parts was our dog was welcome! We will definitely be staying here again! My only complaint would be that they get a better maid service. It wasn’t dirty, at all, but you could tell that whoever cleaned it rushed. That doesn’t hinder the fact that I would stay in this home again and recommend it to my family and friends! One of the best and easiest stays we’ve ever had on crystal beach!

Beautiful home!

We had such a great stay at this home! Super clean, comfy and plenty of room for our family of 10. Check in/check out was a breeze and the easy access to the beach was a definite plus. It was the perfect place for celebrating my parents 50th anniversary! Thanks for the memories "Knot 2 Crabby"!
