The location is beautiful. After the storm passed through, someone was immediately on the property to clean up. The pool was cleaned daily.

Area was great. Loved the beach. Communication was aweful. Clearly they are using AI, multiple responses to my questions that are days later with zero help. Would not stay again because of that. I will not stay at another property managed by vasca.

Great house - with a few issues

This overall was a great house and we really were happy with our stay. Just a few things we wish we had known: The pictures are a little deceiving. It looks like a boardwalk takes you directly to the beach, but it doesn’t. The boardwalk ends and you still have to walk through a decent length of very soft sand and over a steep dune. -You never speak to a real local manager. Only customer service reps from Vacasa. I guarantee you’ll see a generic response to this review. -Things in the house that need to be fixed: exposed outlets without plates, refrigerator door is broken and makes a very loud sound when opening, front door keypad is faulty and doesn’t work most of the time. -The top room smelled musty and damp the entire time (kind of like a wet dog) We bought a swiffer mop and mopped ourselves but the smell remained. -The couch was covered in dog fur when we arrived. We bought a lint roller and nearly used the entire thing to remove it. -I was sent a text from Vacasa asking how the cleanliness was on our arrival day, and I told them our two issues. They once again gave a generic response and said they were sorry for our experience, but offered no solution. -In the list of amenities, a high chair was listed. I could not find one on our first day. I messaged Vacasa and asked where it was. Yet again, I received another generic response and no solution was ever given.

Tranquil

This beach home was perfect. Very quiet and not touristy. The beach was perfect for sand castles. Only complaint was the floor at beach level the bathroom shower didn't work nor did the tub stopper BUT there was 3 other bathrooms to use so it wasn't any damper on our vacation. The beach and pool was our favorite part! Wish we could've stayed longer!!

We had a good time.

The place needs some electrical work but it was a beautiful place. Wished for better weather in the unforeseen wind and snow across the USA

We had a nice time, but...

Upon arrival, there was a strong and offensive odor of animal urine in the upper stairwell area. I had to clean the wooden steps of the entire staircase with a disinfectant cleaner. There was Black Mold on the Shower curtain liner on Floor 1 King Bedroom. One bedside Lamp in this bedroom could not be turned on due to broken switch. The bed pillows in this room also need to be replaced. *Inaccurate description of property-No jetted tub on property. A used ECig was found under the dresser in Floor 1 Queen Bedroom . A tampon applicator and other debris was found along the driveway near the front porch when we arrived. No blankets were provided for any of the bedrooms. Fridg/Freezer did not properly cool and did not make ice during our stay. A larger tv screen in family area would be a nice upgrade. We enjoyed our stay, but want to communicate these things to you. Thank you.

Spend your money somewhere else

This property is not well maintained. The property is expensive to rent but when you stay here you can tell it’s not well maintained. The air conditioner does not cool the top floor. The home is not cleaned properly. The top floor smells like dog urine- the odor is strong. The dishes are put in the cabinets dirty. The screen door has duct tape on it. The air conditioner can not be put below 74 degrees or it will freeze up. The air filter is not the correct size. The coil on the air conditioner is so dirty it will freeze the unit. Vacasa and VRBO’s responses are all automated so they are not helpful. There was trash in the yard and thrown under the home when we arrived. Do your self a favor and spend your money staying somewhere else. This property is too expensive to stay like this for 7 days.

Family vacation

This property had an amazing location and just steps away from the beach. We were a little disappointed to arrive and see the pool was under maintenance and we were not made aware of this. The pool did get fixed and we were able to enjoy it our last day of vacation but would have been more enjoyable if it was available when we arrived. We loved the screened in porches and the top deck was amazing for sunbathing. Overall this property was very enjoyable and homey feeling! We will definitely be coming back.

Recovery Room

Great location - comfortable short walk to a beautiful, secluded beach and the pool is in your back yard. If location, easy access to beach and pool, porches with views and dog friendly are top of your list, consider this property. The pool area needs updating but we didn't let that bother us. The pool itself was clean, though stained from hurricane Michael. The beds were comfortable and clean. The downstairs two rooms had newly renovated bathrooms. The upstairs room has a huge bed and beautiful views with access to sun porch, great for star gazing at night. The bathroom/shower in the upper bedroom needs updating, felt a little neglected - but, the privacy, nice bedding, new floor and view made up for it. The TV's are small in all rooms and are not smart TV's so bring your tech equipment if you want to watch your favorite shows on Netflix or Amazon. We were there during hurricane Sally so were stuck inside the house for 3 days and with that we were still satisfied with the house. Would stay again in off season to get the location at a great price.
