Beautiful with terrible service
The house is beautiful and provides many "at home" amenities. The beds were also comfortable. However, there were roaches that were 2 inches in length. We killed a few on the front porch and back patio, in the house on the kitchen and laundry room floors, and on the couch. We reached out to Vacasa immediately but all we received was a canned response of "we apologize for the inconvenience and have reached out to the local manager." Long story short, nothing was done to right the situation. We didn't use the living room furniture because we were afraid a roach would crawl across us. We didn't feel comfortable cooking in the kitchen and only used the fridge for cold items while the rest of our food remained in our van, meaning we spent additional money on eating out for all meals instead of just dinner. I am pretty reasonable and understand that bugs increase after a storm and also understand that the problem might not be fixed in the two days we were there, but no additional response, after apologizing for the inconvenience, is as disgusting as the roaches. Coming out and spraying the perimeter of the house or refunding some of our money for not being able to use half of the amenities would have been appropriate gestures in the right direction. If we had arrived earlier in the day or were staying longer than two days, we would not have stayed there. One of the main reasons we went for a rental home was to be able to cook and we couldn't without roach worry.

Great place to stay!!
Had enough beds for everybody to comfortably sleep, plenty of space for everybody. The back patio was so nice and relaxing. Had plenty of places to sit for meals.

Relaxing Getaway
A wonderful place to stay! The house was clean, the couches were comfortable, there were plenty of throw blankets, and enough towels for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you’d need to cook a full meal. The table was big enough for the eight of us, the living room provided ample space for the baby to crawl and the kids to play, enough sitting in the living room for the whole group to relax together and lots of sitting outside for bbq nights. The best thing- all three rooms had queen sized beds so no adult got stuck squeezing on a twin or the couch. The only two negatives- the pillows were uncomfortable and the toilet paper was very thin (not sure if this is due to septic tank needs.) Despite that, we would definitely return!

Beach Weekend
Very nice house. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. The reason for my 4 stars is the back patio, in my opinion, needs more light. We tried to have dinner and was very dark out there. Other than that I totally recommend for any beach getaway!

Very comfortable house for family gathering
Stayed here with family while visiting our grandmother in Rockport. Very clean and comfortable and nice back patio for hanging out. The internet went out while we were there; took a few phone calls, but the rental company was responsive. Couldn't fix it before we left but gave us a credit. So not ideal but at least they tried. And overall we enjoyed the house, so would still stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. Plenty of room for the eight of us. Nice to have a single story home with no stairs. Had everything we needed. The back yard patio was very nice just to sit back and enjoy to breeze. We will definitely rent this home again.
