Great House for a family beach vacation!
The house was very nice, plenty of space and the elevator is also a nice addition. The walk to the beach is a little far but it’s nicely located midway between beach access 1 and 2.
We would definitely stay there again.

Great Beach House
This house was perfect for two families with teens. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very clean. The layout is perfect for large gatherings with family and all the decks have beautiful views. Would rent again!

Short walk to the beach but across a busy main road
The home is large and is 4 floors, too 3 are the living spaces. There a tons of steps. Tons. From prior reviews, it was clear that the elevator had not been working recently. So we weren’t surprised when we arrived and it was not functional. Vacasa, who is the rental manager, came by on their own accord a day or 2 in to check in on the elevator (although we hadn’t said anything to them.). After a few days and a couple people in and out, they got the elevator working. It turns out that one of the cleaning crew had probably accidentally flipped the switch inside the elevator from run to stop. Just an easy thing to check if you don’t have a working elevator.
See review on VACASA site- Left a detailed review there. Home is managed by vacasa but we rented though VRBO because the price for the week was the best.
Overall a positive experience and stay.

Great location and a very new house
Short walk to the beach front. We went for 4th of July weekend and the 4th floor balcony, which was taller than most other rooftops, had a fantastic view of all the firework shows going on towards the townside. Inside the house is very nice, and has modern appliances. Kitchen has the necessities in terms of utensils and cookware, has a hose nozzle for the sink, ice dispenser, and garbage disposal (big plus). Contains some beach equipment. Outside shower and separate hose was great for getting sand off.
Elevator was not operational and was locked, but I personally didn't need it anyway. Water flow in showers will drop dramatically if multiple people are using showers. Laundry detergent was supplied, but not dish detergent. Only one kitchen trash bag provided for 8 people for 3 nights.
Overall would definitely stay here again, but would have to bring some extra stuff from home.
