Nice with a few small issues

I will start by saying that we would definitely still stay again. There were a lot of other renters in De Soto and it was nice talking to them about where they were from. But, we had some of the same issues as previous renters (steep stairs, ungrounded hot tub, grimey grill). New issue was broken ice-maker. It worked, but the manifold in the back was broken when we arrived. The broken part made the freezer and fridge doors stay open. So when we arrived, both were warm and there was water at bottom of freezer. Problem solved by just not using the ice dispenser. Staff offered to come on-site to fix the issue.

Great Home- Poor Service from Vacasa

The home is very nice and on the nicest part of the island. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, there was plenty of room for everyone. There were TV's in all 4 bedrooms with Roku. It is close to the beach which is only accessible to the neighborhood. The boardwalk made beach access easy. There was also a wagon and plenty of beach chairs. It was great for two families. The pool was very nice as well, but the gulf was perfect during our stay. There were also 4 bikes to use. The day before we checked in, we got the code for the gate, but never for the lock box. I was on hold with vacasa for an hour before I gave up. I emailed them and they didn't respond until Thursday and the email pretty much assumed we had figured it out. 5 stars for the house, 0 for Vacasa customer service.

Another Very Honest Review

Two adults and our 4 teenage kids over Spring Break. Pros: 1) The house and all its furnishings are new. 2) Gated neighborhood is great. 3) Community pool, tennis/pickle ball, and beach are excellent. 4) Overall location on the island is excellent. 5) House is not extra spacious but has all the space you need. Cons: 1) There are major electrical issues with the hot tub, as one other renter noted, it is electrified and un-grounded. This is a serious/deadly danger and I would not rent here without an assurance all is fixed. If you are barefoot and touch the water you get shocked. This is a text message from the Vacasa manager: "I have only been with Vacasa for a short time but I have been informed that this is a much bigger situation with underground wiring with Alabama Power throughout the community that they are replacing step by step. There have been reports of people that own their own homes and live there full time that experience a slight shock with just wet feet walking from the beach to their beach house." They drained the tub and refunded us $300. 2) We were unable to access the key to the house when we arrived. Vacasa gave us the wrong code for the key box. We got in another way, but no one from Vacasa responded when we needed help. 3) The Blackstone grill is completely rusted out and unusable, I have pics. We bought a charcoal drill and left it there. 4) There were cockroaches dying in two of the bathrooms when we got there, when we arrived it smelled of strong "insecticide" and I suspect they sprayed hours before we arrived and didn't wait to clean up. 5) The vacuum is broken. 6) The stairs in the front are CRAZY steep, would be challenging for young kids or the elderly. 7) Vacasa is not easily to work with. They have a text system to interact with, no one actually responds. There office on the island had a line around the building of renters having issues. I would not rent from Vacasa again. 8) The bikes sort of work, but are in really bad shape. Bottomline: we'll be back to Dauphin Island (this was our second trip and we love it there!) but we won't rent here again, or with Vacasa again.
