Joint birthday trip
Couldn’t have been happier with our stay! 9 of us stayed here to celebrate our collective 30th birthdays and it was just as described. Conveniently located next to the steps to the beach and the added ease of the elevator made getting everything in and out of the house a breeze

This is a jewel
The house is in a great location- right on the beach with beach access on side of house. Plenty of room for our family of 12. We brought a few of our own beach chairs and it was good that we did- also had to rent a couple because there were only 3 chairs and they were pretty rusty and flimsy.
The bedrooms range in size, beds are a little hard, curtains do not block a whole lot of light but they do offer privacy- so if you need dark to sleep claim the twin bedroom on the first floor or bring a sleep mask.
Plenty of toilet paper was provided, but only one towel per person, and one dish towel- we ended up going to dollar store to buy more kitchen towels.
The cleaners were not finished for our 5:00 check in which was frustrating after our long drives we had to wait outside the home for an additional 1/2 hour. The grill was never cleaned and we ended up with a large grease fire- they did come and clean the grill afterwards but it was pretty scary.
Kitchen was pretty well stocked with utensils, plenty of pots and pans of all sizes. Two coffee pots and a toaster.
The home is starting to show some wear and tear and in need of a little TLC- the molding between kitchen and living room was coming up and we kept tripping on it- Vacasa came out and repaired it- there are some rungs on porches that are a little loose, lots of ripped screens, vents dirty
This is a great home, in a great location- my family would love to spend more time here. There are more positives than negatives.
