The house was great! We liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house was very clean, and in a great location. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. Lots of games to play and a bar area under the house that we utilized quite a bit.

Quick Weekend
This property was very nice and was a good fit for our short getaway.
A couple of negatives: I contacted the property owner twice before we visited with questions and received no reply. I did reach out to Vacasa and they got back to me. The pool is supposed to be heated but it was not, at least it wasn't while we were there. Don't count on a heated pool.
Otherwise, I would say everything else was as advertised.

Very nice house
The house was beautiful, definitely made you feel like you were in a movie beach house. The pool was perfect along with the lighted cabana.
Kitchen was great to cook in and location to the beach and grocery store was very nice.
