July 4th Getaway
The property wasn’t clean especially one of the bathrooms. It took us almost 3 hrs to unlock the door so we didn’t get to check in until late. Both toilets were not working. However, this property is a good location.

Opposite of relaxing
Property was never cleaned upon check-in and had been left dirty for at least a day and a half. Ant infestation in the home, including in the beds. Rats were underneath the home.
Beautiful location and beach.
Vrbo was helpful connecting us to Vacasa. Took several days to get proper customer service from Vacasa and then it was excellent. Vacasa structure is set up for message taking, not for problem solving.

Pretty from the Outside, but Borderline Uninhabitable
Our recent stay at this property was far from bliss. Beware, as this property is managed by Vacasa, a third-party property management company with very sub-par support.
While the listing for the property boasts of "a water filtration system for a healthy and clean environment", they also mention something about the "fluctuating tap water quality in the Village of Surfside Beach". The water in this property did in fact have not only a yellow tint but also a grotesque odor akin to sewage. The listing mentions that the yellow water is safe for bathing, but it is far from desired to bathe in sulfur-scented slime water. The master shower was all that we were able to use for bathing because the "jetted soaking tub" does not actually hold water (the drain cannot be stopped). The shower leaks onto the bathroom floor; it came with two shower heads: one is so calcified that it sprays with immense and ineffective pressure, the other sprays a dribbling ooze that cannot maintain consistent temperature.
Beyond the water problem was a considerable issue with ants. We very often had to flick ants off of our food, belongings, and children.
Worst of all was the fact that the AC went out on our third night. The property climbed up to 85 degrees while Vacasa was unable to get anybody out to the property until long after we had to leave (lest we suffer from a Texas heat stroke).
This house has potential, but it has fallen into some degree of disrepair to the point where it is unhospitable.

Numerous Issues
TV and remote are complex with no instructions. Only able to view one channel and unable to use any of the streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)
Streaming music from my phone to the house audio was way too loud even when individual room volume controls were turned all the way down. Unusable.
Front door lock is really wonky and malfunctioned once. They programmed a10 digit access code which is ridiculously too long when 4 or 5 digits would be plenty secure.
The jetted tub spewed yellow water which was irritating to the skin when turned on. Unusable and possibly unsafe.
The bath towels are course and cheap. They don’t absorb water very well.
It’s actually only 2 bedrooms with an additional 2 non-conforming rooms containing beds.
The windows were not clean making the view of the ocean very hazy.

Perfect
House is happily positioned centrally on the beach without a lot of week day beach traffic. Plenty of privacy for relaxing on the deck. The deck is covered, cool, and pleasant to sit on anytime. Wonderful views and sounds of the ocean, definitely worth getting a beach front. Inside, the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with usable items. House is decorated well with appropriate furniture and space, not the bed stacking you see in other rentals. Our kids enjoyed the toys, games, and beach gear available for use! My family of six really enjoyed our time here, would rent again.
