Fur friendly beach house
Overall the house was great for our stay with our 15 year old lab mix. The property manager stayed in touch with us and tried to answer all our questions and concerns but didn’t resolve them all. Being a beach house, the property smelled musty when we first arrived so we opened it up and sprayed air freshener. We also informed them that the oven had not been cleaned. Otherwise it was a nice place to vacation. Spaces were as shown. They do not have a good grill.

Great house and location!
Beautiful home and you can’t beat the location. My only complaint is all the stairs. If you can climb LOTS of stairs, this is the place!

Great location, filthy home, never again
Upon arrival (Did a cleaning crew even visit?): Dirt, hair, and sand on sheets and bedspreads Microwave rusted and caked on grease inside door window and frame Refrigerator filthy inside, had to clean prior to using A seafood steamer pot left on counter with old cooked seafood still inside, smelled horrible Half bath upstairs had a poop stain on outside of tank Couches had sand all over them and in an effort to remove cushions from sofa bed and take outside for cleaning we found old food and crumbs underneath the cushions Crumbs on the kitchen counters All dressers had sand in the drawers Most all utensils, cookware, and may dishes were disgusting and had to be washed before use Had to sweep every room of the home because of all the sand. Sticky kitchen table and overall a very dirty home Reported all of this immediately upon arrival. Received lots of text messages saying they (Vacasa) were sorry and that local staff would be in touch. NEVER received a call the entire week we were there. My wife and I cleaned for 4 hours the first day there, including having to go buy cleaning supplies to do that. Obviously we stayed because the rental investment was very expensive. I would warn anyone considering this home to look elsewhere for this price.

Alot of money Little Reward
Pictures are definately a lot better than the house. The major issue was from day 1 the HVAC is on a duel system andvtge floor the bedrooms are on was not working. Temp on that floor wa 77 degrees. Heat pump works the compressor unit was inoperable. Called Vacassa(management company) immediately upon arrival. They never came to check it, fix, it nada. Sent me instructions via text to check virvuit nix, turn off fir 10 minutes yada, enough for a dummy to go through the motions that they tried. Well i checked the cimpressor unit and its clear this has not been blowing cold air for some time. Its completly esten through, its impossible for the fan to turn. Anywho, they never checked on it after the first day nor us. If it was hotter ir will be unsleepable on that floor. We had to turn the upstairs to 67 and some of the cool air wafted down. It got diwn to 74 deg.

Vacasa is terrible and predatory. Stay away!
Our family trip was completely ruined. Upon arrival we notice the AC in the bedrooms didn't work. Within an hour of check-in, I contacted Vacasa and they told me someone from the local office would reach out to resolve the issue by end of day. No one from the local office reached out and it was never resolved. I contacted Vacasa everyday, and each time they told me an electrician was on the way to fix it and that someone from the local office would contact me. No one ever showed up and no one ever contacted me. Our family has two babies under 5 months who rely on comfortable temperatures to sleep. Both babies were unable to sleep at night as it was 79 degrees in the bedrooms even with the windows open. Not only did Vacasa not offer to provide us fans, they didn't even bother telling us that no one was coming to fix the AC, leaving us waiting and unable to properly plan. The whole time I was speaking to call center employees from another country and no local support was available. They offered me a $60 refund which was a fraction of the cost of the stay. VRBO also took no responsibility and kept just pushing it onto Vacasa. This was my first time using VRBO and VACASA and it was a terrible experience. I would highly recommend staying away from Vacasa homes. They will take your money and do nothing if the house has ANY issues, plus they'll lie and ignore you. Since VRBO did minimal to help us too I will probably never book with them again either.

Stunning views!!
Delightful oceanfront vacation! We brought our elderly mother and two dogs for a memorable respite. Will definitely return. All the comforts of home and easy beach access. Stellar sunrises!!!! Accessible to everything but far enough to be private and quiet. Already planning our return!
