Great location!! Beautiful views and home. Perfect for hosting a women’s retreat. Kitchen is lacking some supplies but we managed. Fridge has a missing shelf so that was a challenge. No added “niceties” like firewood for the solo stove and even the soap/shampoo was nearly empty. Gorgeous home though!
This house is like being in a world of your own. Our family thought it was a great place to have fun and spread out.

On arrival on Saturday contacted Vacasa about freezer not opening and two bathrooms having burnt out lightbulbs stated they would send someone out never did and no phone calls at all regarding issues. Finally on late Tuesday I received a call back asking if WE had resolved the issue! Back bathroom toilet was clogged up. (Which was resolved) Some beds did not have pillow cases. The washer had black mold in it and had a horrible stench when you opened it and was unusable! Pool skimmer had the net torn out so was of no use. Had to have the pool cleaned and the water was very cloudy which he shocked and they brought a new skimmer. The refrigerator and freezer for this big of a house and people was no where big enough when a secondary refrigerator could have easily been put in the garage. The stove is an induction that only allows certain pans to be used and the ones that are there are horrible and everything that is cooked sticks. The rug in the living is a tripping hazard for toddlers and was dirty and the rug by the other sofa was filthy. The white sofa upon arrival was filthy and had stains everywhere, took pictures and called and sent photos to Vacasa. It was a nice house and would have been great if maintenance issues were resolved and it was properly cleaned. Mandatory life saving ring was very old and had broken foam and hanging fabric of no use. Also shower curtains in 2nd floor both have mold at the bottom of them and there there was mold on the door where the ac unit

Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful! The house is perfectly cleaned, decorated, and designed. Our group of 14 stayed for a staff retreat and we enjoyed every aspect of the house. Plenty of private space and large gathering space. It is definitely a private oasis and you don’t need to leave the house, but if you do, local shopping is close by and Surf City is a short drive away.

WOW what a beautiful property!!! It was clean and very well maintained and we all enjoyed the the stay so much that we plan to return to this beautiful place soon again. Only one issue was that the gas was empty for the fire pits so we missed using it for one night and they replaced it the next day so we’re able to use it next night. Highly recommend this property…just amazing!!!

Great property with awful property management
Property was excellent but I'll never rent another property managed by Vacasa again.
Pros: House layout and location are great. Beautiful almost 360 degree views of Alligator Bay. Around 15 min drive to beach is not great but tolerable. We utilized the free beach parking at lot #4 everyday.
Cons: The freezer door and trays were broken at check-in and could tell it wasn't recent but nothing done by property mgmt. 3rd floor A/C was turned off at check in and took until following day to cool off. Two coffee makers both had broken carafes. Vacasa property management uses a central/national primary contact office that is generally useless and slows resolution process. It took multiple times to request resolution/reimbursement for purchasing a new coffee maker and they have still never reimbursed. We requested repair of freezer and it took 4 days to have someone come out and they didn't resolve the issue. There is only a single standard refrigerator/freezer in kitchen, which is inadequate to accommodate food/drink storage requirements of a home listed for 16-20 people.

Hidden Gem
Definitely a top tier vacation home! We were delighted with the location, home, appliances, outdoor seating, parking for up to 10 vehicles. We celebrated by mom's 81st birthday with a surprise get away to Sneads Island!
The beds and pillows sent you into dreamland each and every night, so comfortable and plush. The scenery, oh the scenery from any room in the house was sound view/water view or just serene view. Residing on your own personal island, no homes on either side. It was peaceful and relaxing, thus far the best VRBO rental yet.
