Amazing location, house in bad shape sadly though - cockroaches, spotty electricity

We loved the location so much, but were very disappointed at the shape the house was in. There were several cockroaches in the kitchen which was disgusting, they were all over my kids lunchboxes. There were also moths and other bugs upstairs. Vacasa was a total pain when I tried to do something about the bugs, I called in and the rep told me to wait at the house as someone would come by to inspect in an hour, this was at 10 am. I waited at home all day wasting a whole day of our vacation and no one ever came. I messaged in the app that night and the rep was rude, claiming no one would come by with such short notice. They said they would make a report and a local Agent would get back to me soon. I called in a few days later and they just said a report was made and to keep waiting. I messaged in the app again but same situation. I had sent in photos and they were totally unresponsive. Finally 5 days later a local agent came out and helped address it. Also the upstairs toilet was running and wasting gallons of water, I called in and messaged two local agents a total of 4 times and neither responded all day so my husband fixed it that night. The door to the garage automatically locks so I got locked in the garage 6 times. Thankfully my toddler was awake inside and I could instruct him on how to let me in each time, but it took a while and was scary for both of us. The electrical outlets would randomly short out, turning off sound machines waking my son up.

Great House, Terrible Property Manager

The house itself is great: 1. Amazing location on Balboa island 2. Spacious layout with the four bedrooms split into two segregated sleeping areas, ideal for travel with kids 3. Awesome, awesome well-equipped kitchen with high-end range and Zwilling cutlery 4. Complete battery of bikes and beach toys for enjoying Newport Beach beaches Unfortunately, our overall impression was ruined by what can only be described as Vacasa’s gross incompetence, the property management company we were forced to use. After reserving through Vrbo, we then had to complete a separate registration / payment process through Vacasa. Fine, no big deal. However, the amount Vacasa was attempting to charge us for the booking via their online system was not the same as what should have been charged per the Vrbo reservation. So, I emailed Vacasa asking them to fix and got generic response asking me to call. Fine. So, I call… and wait on hold for 45 minutes to talk to someone until I had to drop for a meeting. Repeat this four times over the next days. Sent another email explaining I tried calling and couldn’t get through… no response until a week later I get another generic “please call us” response. Sent message through Vrbo’s system asking how to resolve and no response. Finally, after two weeks of trying to get through to someone, my wife called in the evening and was able to get the billing mixup fixed. Under no circumstances should anything so simple be so difficult to fix. So, we arrive at the house to check in. The check-in instructions we were given were to use a code on the keypad to the garage door opener. Garage door would not open with code provided. So, I once again call Vacasa. After waiting on hold, the solution offered was to read the garage keypad instructions back to me and, after I explained I had done that many times to no avail, I’m told a “ticket” to the local manager to help resolve the issue will be submitted. Meanwhile, my three-year-old is crying because he has to use the bathroom and we can’t get in the house to do so. After about 45 minutes someone shows up and get us in the house… apparently the code on the opener was not set correctly. Like I said, once Vacasa was out of the picture and we had access to the house, we had a great time. But, the damage had been done. Between the billing fiasco and being unable to contact anyone at Vacasa and problems getting in to the house, there is NO chance I book another property managed by Vacasa. None.

Balboa Island Cottage

Great location! Easy walk to Marine Ave. and the Ferry. 20 minutes from John Wayne airport and 40 minutes from Disneyland. Updated kitchen and bathrooms and comfortable beds. The patio was lovely for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Several bikes were available to use which was a huge plus. The garage also was stocked with boogie boards and sand toys for summer rentals. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

“Haunted House”

First of all, I want this rating to be removed because we LOVED our vacation. I understand there is a system to get it removed before it goes public so I’m counting on that. However, keeping it real, I thought you would want to know. The lights flickered. In the main room, the light would turn on by itself or the fan would change direction randomly. Very weird. We heard a moaning noise at night. (I think the flapper valve in the downstairs toilet was malfunctioning and caused noise in the pipes. At least I hope so.) The scariest thing were the cockroaches. At night, we could hear them clattering about in the bedroom with the fireplace. Went downstairs to a downstairs bedroom. As I lay down, I saw a cockroach on my pillow. Eek. They were also in the kitchen. Hopefully, a plumber, electrician and exterminator will solve the “haunting” The location couldn’t be better. The house was charming and historic. We made good use of the wagon and sand toys. It was a very good price. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. Sorry about the negatives. I didn’t know how else to tell you.

Quaint spot...we would do it all over again!

Darling house, great amount of space for the family. They've started to remodel it but still needs more updating and new carpet upstairs. This property has no air conditioning so there were a few uncomfortable moments of stuffiness but overall it was a great stay.
