Ocean Heart

Welcome to Ocean Heart, a modern home with eight bedrooms and three levels of living space! This comfortable beach house has interior specialty lighting in the bedrooms and main third-level living area, giving the house a beautiful ambiance in the evening accented by the natural sunset vistas over beautiful Back Bay.

Each of the three levels offers bedrooms and gathering areas, making this a great choice for several families to share or for an extended family to spread out. Large decks overlook the fenced, in-ground pool with loungers and spacious pool deck area, as well as the dock and covered hot tub. Countless hours of outside time can be spent swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, touring the many inlets and canals in the bay, fishing and crabbing from the dock, cooling off in the shade, sunbathing, and of course, going to the beach which is just a short walk right out your front door.

The amazing unobstructed view of the bay will astound you each day from large windows showcasing the area’s natural beauty. Relax on one of several comfortable leather couches, watch TV from the large flatscreen, or enjoy your group coming together to prepare a meal in the large kitchen/dining area. The great rooms are fantastic for families spending time together. Granite kitchen counters gleam with specialty lighting which highlights the stainless steel appliances and white granite dining tables. Meals are easy with a well-equipped kitchen, doubled-up refrigerators, and doubled-up stovetops/ovens. There is lots of room for groceries and cooking. Two tables can accommodate all the guests, with four additional seats at the counter bar. Tile and wood laminate flooring throughout the great room. Two bedrooms are on this upper floor, one king suite and one queen suite, each with a private bath and tastefully decorated with beachy accents, beautiful artwork, and TVs. There is an additional half-bath in the great room area for use as well. In the evening be sure to turn on the accent lighting and enjoy the different colors that light up the room.

The middle level offers four bedrooms and a small cozy couch to relax in. There are three main suites, each with a private bath, plus a child-friendly bunk room with a twin-over-double bunk and a twin-over-twin bunk with a private bath. All of these bedrooms also offer accent lighting and TVs. The laundry room is located in the hall for easy access from the other floors.

The lower level of Ocean Heart offers a kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, sink, cabinetry, and seating including a small dining table with chairs and a game table with booth seating perfect for playing cards or a board game. Extra food and beverage storage as well as a bath, making this very convenient for accessing the hot tub (just outside the sliding door) and the pool area. Two bedrooms are on the lower level, one with access to the second bath.

The middle and upper levels have decks with access from west-facing bedrooms and offer both sunny and shady places to catch the sun’s rays and to view the amazing sunsets you will be entertained with nightly. Plenty of parking rounds out this great house making Ocean Heart a great choice for your family vacation.

Family Christmas
Pros: The owner allowed us to check in a few hours early which was great because We had 16 people there to celebrate our family Christmas. The layout of the house was very functional and I loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There was a lot of seating in the kitchen for all of us to eat together. The bathrooms were clean. The hot tub was enjoyable. Cons: Although the bathroom facilities were clean, the floors throughout the house including the bathrooms were not clean. The ceiling fans had about 1/4 inch of dust on them which flew around the room when the fans were turned on. We found quite a bit of dishes in the cabinets that were very dirty. There’s quite a bit of maintenance repairs that need to be done on this house. The floor boards under one of the bathtubs was very creaky when you stood in the tub. There were a lot of little things such as toilet paper holders falling off, kick plate under the kitchen sink falling off, rusted vent grates, rusted grill grates, etc. The biggest problem was the clogged kitchen sink. We did not call the property manager about this because luckily my husband is a certified plumber and was able to rectify the problem. He did however have to take apart and put back together the pipes under the sink to rectify the problem. I think with a deep deep cleaning and some maintenance repairs that this house could easily be a 5 star property.

Ocean Heart=Caveat Emptor
Actual amount of space was very good for our group of 18. That's one of the only positives about this tired and somewhat broken down property. There were wood boards between the sofas' cushions and springs, the hvac return was filthy--Vacasa sent some to clean it and the dirt was unbelievable; filter looked like it had not been changed in over a year. Dishwasher had not been emptied by the cleaning staff before we got there--good thing because it had not been run and by the looks of the mold on knives and plates it had been in place for a long time.

Fall 2023 Birthday Bash
We had a great time at this place for our fall celebration! The house size and location were absolutely perfect! Admittedly the place could use a good deep clean to really get an A+. But if you have an easy going group who wants amazing views and easy access to the ocean and the bay then it’s absolutely perfect. We are that group so we had a stellar time and would love to come back.

Ocean Heart Captured Our Hearts…Until
Ocean Heart was the perfect house for my adult only gathering. The home is perfect for entertaining; however, it needed a deep cleaning. All of the shower curtains had mold on them and I was assured by Kathy with Vacasa that new curtains/liners would be installed that day, but they never arrived and I received no other communication. The washer was filled with so much sand that it required two rinse cycles just to be able to wash clothing. I would also recommend an extermination outside for the spiders. The house is so gorgeous and we had a great time. It’s a shame that it wasn’t as clean as it should have been. A real cleaning and a little TLC is all this house needs to be perfect.
