It needs care but would definitely come back

It was a great vacation. The location of the house is wonderful. Beautiful view. The size and layout of the house is perfect for 10 people. Not crowded, great kitchen space, good bathrooms. Negatives: refrigerator is awful. It could not handle being loaded with frozen drinks and items from our ice chests. Made the temperature go up to 60 degrees. Freezer was worse. Ice maker did not work at all. Refrigerator was better 8 hours later. Only one door shelf in fridge, no shelves at all in the freezer. Very inconvenient for a family of cooks. Several light bulbs were burned out. A couple of electric outlets did not work. Cabinet door in bedroom nightstand broken. Chair legs loose. House needs basic maintenance throughout. Digital door lock was not explained. We were given a code before arrival time but no instructions on how to open the door and how to lock the door when we leave. Left two or three messages asking for instructions. We ended up leaving someone in the house at all times so we wouldn't have to lock it. Just lucky we got in the first time because no one knows what we did to get it to work Other than these little problems the place is awesome. We loved the house and our family vacation there.

Second timer

Starting texting and calling about the grill not working didn’t get any help at all!! My son in law had to figure out how to fix it with a missing piece!! Cleaning crew showed up at 3:50 check in 4:00 had to wait about 40 mins! Several things I reported on check in like the toilets running!! And shower door was broke and water ran on the floor! Just miscellaneous things! When you plan vacations and outdoor grilling is always the plan and getting standard responses was maddening!

Review

It was not the best. I’ve never checked into a beach house that hasn’t been cleaned, then got to experience how it was “cleaned” by the lady that was rushed over. Then there was the septic issue. We couldn’t even get a late check out. Not happy at all. Location was the only thing was satisfying.

Great time for all with a couple of hitches

First, we had a great time overall. The listing is just like the pictures and the view is phenomenal. I hope they never build up around the property to cover the ocean view you do have. The walk is very quick as well as promised. And since you rarely see a review, the beds were comfy as well. We had what we needed and made do with what we had a little of or bought more. No big. However, the bathroom my mom stayed in, the toilet had an issue where it didnt flush right and eventually not at all. I messaged Vacasa that night and was told someone would be at the property the next morning. The next morning, almost noon, I didnt hear anything and contacted Vacasa again, and they didnt seem to know what I was referring to so, maybe a lack of communication? Whatever the case may be, this agent was more communicative and even called me to confirm that I still needed help. We were not at the property because we were enjoying a relaxing beach day, but I was pleased to find that help had arrived and serviced the issue within the hour or so when I went for provisions, and no other issues with that occurred, so my mom was grateful. The only other issue we had was the Keurig - on the Thursday before we left, it decided to stop working. It turned on, stated it was ready, filled up half my cup, and then stopped. On inspection, the pod chamber had filled with water and grounds...but wasnt clogged. Rather then mess with it further or call Vacasa again, I left a note on it. Time for a new one?

Cleaniness

Unit was tidy, not clean. Both the oven and microwave were and still are dirty. It wasn’t my job to clean before using. Therefore I chose not to use. The floor wasn’t mopped, an area by the pool table where there was a spill was there upon our arrival. The countertop and dining table top, had not been cleaned/ wiped off. The round windows have bugs in them. The window to the left of the entrance to the back patio, the screen is ripped. I have pictures of each of these things notated.

We loved the close proximity to the beach and amenities in the house. The pool table was such a fun addition! We wished there would have been more towels in the home as we were there multiple days. The kitchen needed towels as well. Other than that, everything was wonderful and we would be thrilled to stay at this rental again!
