Perfect spot for a short stay

We booked this property for a very last minute Spring break trip, and are very glad we did. The house was perfect for two adults and two teens to hangout without getting on top of each other. The short walk to the beach and short drive to shops and restaurants made the location ideal for us.

Quiet Bungalow

We enjoyed the quiet among the trees. The inside was updated and very clean, beds were comfy, and the porch was inviting.

Wonderful quiet retreat

We loved the house, its layout and all amenities. The tree cover was perfect, creating its own unique oasis. The easy walk to the beach and sound allowed us to take advantage of both the ocean and kayaking on the bay. Access to the tennis court, clubhouse and the pool are definitely a big plus ( pool was still closed at the time of our stay). Kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare meals. Hot tub was great after the cold ocean water. The additional advantage of this place was that we could take our dogs with us.

Enjoyably

The property was as online, there was pest that had to be killed as we arrived and hair on shower wall. If you want to relax and take time for yourself this is the perfect place. I will book again.

Cute little cottage

Very cute home!!! Nicely set up!! We did notice mold, some bugs and a snake skin that startled us pretty badly. Vacasa was very accommodating trying to fix the cloudiness in the hot tub. I’m not one to complain but a regular exterminator could fix the issue. (?) I was expecting some bugs due to being surrounded by trees!

Private and nice location

The inside of the house is nice. Some mold noted in laundry and guest bath. Main BR sink stopped up and we fixed with Draino. Washer has no cold water. Beds were comfortable. King size bed is very tall. Oven and tub not clean but not gross. Front bedroom air conditioner never worked. Very young man came out and did nothing but when VACASA called they told me they had a note it was fixed. Felt I was not heard so told them to forget about it since it was now time to leave the next day Nothing more was done but bring a small fan. The rest of the house was very cool and comfortable. When ceiling fans remote did not work I was told to look in drawers for batteries and there was none. We made do. House has community pool that is nice more than 3 min walk. Beaches are so nice. Has a longer driveway to be hidden off main street and you have to push the trash cart to the end of that driveway twice in the week.

Pick Another Place.

Rental has potential but is misrepresented & neglected. Posted reviews are inaccurate. Much was dirty, missing & not working. Deck & screened porch were unusable due to dirtiness & poor condition. Walking inside turned our feet black with dirt. We have photos to document all of this. The one positive is the proximity to the beach & pool. We contacted Vacasa several times but it was unproductive. We had no a/c in one of the bedrooms until the 4th day of our 7 day stay in August heat after we reached out to Vrbo. We were told previous renters also reported the a/c not working. Ceiling lights weren’t working so bedrooms were dark. A remote was needed to operate them but there was only 1 & we could only use it in 1 bedroom. An outside light was not working so it was dark in the yard at night. The bbq was dirty & had puddles of wet coals so wasn’t usable. Other than the a/c issue there was no attempt by the rental company or owner to remedy any of this during our stay. We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years & have never encountered this. We have requested compensation but have yet to receive any. This was our once a year family vacation & we had to waste our limited time dealing with all of this. After experiencing these issues we researched reviews of Vacasa & saw this isn’t an isolated issue. Do your research outside of Vrbo for accurate representation of Vacasa & their properties. Hope that Vacasa & Vrbo have this rental fixed or removed from their listings.
