Excellent Value
Understand that we rated this home as 5 stars and believe it was an excellent value. Having said that we have identified some pros and cons for future guests.We rented this home so we could be close to Whataburger Field.Pros. 1. Very well set up for a small family. It was just two of us so we had plenty of room.2. Very close to the beach and the concrete sidewalk at the beach was a winner.3. Excellent view of the bay so watching the ship traffic was very cool.4. Peaceful community and close proximity to the beach, route 181 and Whataburger field/downtown. 5. Well stocked with everything we needed and it was easy to make ourselves at home. 6. Clean and well maintained on the inside.7. We will stay at this property again.Cons.1. Property from the outside is somewhat dated and first impression was not the best2. Check in was at 4:00 pm and was hoping for an early check in but understand that is not always a possibility. However, we got to the property at 3:55 pm (5 minutes early) and the cleaning crew was just arriving to the property at that time. Not only could we not check in at 4:00 pm it was almost an hour later when the cleaning crew departed. We were very disappointed in that since we had a long drive and wanted to settle into the property at the agreed upon time.3. Of course like many other guests from the reviews we read, we had trouble with the keypad to get into the property4. The kitchen sink did not have hot water

Spring Break fun
I loved everything about this property, the location was perfect. We struggled with the lock key pad a few times but it was fine it eventually worked. The property was clean and had everything inside to maintain the cleanliness. I t was perfect for a family of 5. I would definitely consider stying here again.

VACASA is awful
No sheets on beds, 5 beds and two sets of clean linens that we had to hunt down in weird areas of the house, MOUNTAIN of mildewed and wet linens in the laundry room though…, no toilet paper, smelled like something died in the kitchen sink, reached out for assistance multiple times and didn’t hear back until the evening before we left.

Was disappointed that the keurig coffee maker did not work. Had to go out every morning to purchase coffee and could not have coffee in the evening.
