The property was clean and as described. The air filters and vents were pretty dirty, and the place is very small, but otherwise a nice place to stay
The place was simple and small. We were ok not being incredibly close to beach. We were very disappointed in all of the beds. You would at least want a comfortable place to sleep. We stayed for multiple days. We could not get comfortable on any furniture. The couch was very worn and low to ground. The place had good a/c and basics in kitchen.

Thank you for staying with us, Richard. It is not uncommon for a home built on pilings to sway with a strong wind more than a home built on a traditional foundation. We will have maintenance check the TVs. We hope that we can host you again.

Beach stay okay
Cute house but some complaints. Bunk beds very wobble wasn’t comfortable using, pull out coach was dirt and found a pill on it. The master bedroom was a small bed that was very uncomfortable. Shower was like needles great for some but terrible for sunburn. Water in sink smelt. Pictures were slightly different.

Thank you, Stephnie, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
Such a cute little condo and perfect for us and our 15 month old. She got her own little room and loved all the space under the condo to ride her little bike and play.
Cleanliness was awesome, it is one of the cleanest condos I’ve seen in Port A! Had no problems letting her play on the floor and was very comfortable using the dishes and putting our food in the fridge. We’d definitely book again!
The location was nice but the price advertised did not include the other fees like cleaning etc and was double the amount highlighted. Felt like a soccer punch to the gut. Went during Spring Break and there was no availability to eat at any restaurants. Lodging was by far the most expensive part of the trip and twice the price advertised.

Hi Marian. Thank you for your review and we apologize for any aspects of our pricing that were not to your partys’ liking. Please be advised that we do employ a method of dynamic pricing in which our homes' rates do fluctuate based on the time of year, location, and demand of our market. We appreciate your understanding and hope to host you for many more fantastic vacations to come.
The house is a little off the beaten path from where we normally like to stay, but we liked the quiet remote spot none the less. We travel with our own trailer and golf cart, so the ample parking was perfect. We. Thought crossing the highway in the cart would be tricky but it really was no problem. The home has all the furnishings needed for a comfortable stay. I would recommend some instructions for the living room tv. There are 5 remotes and no clue which one to use without spending 30 minutes figuring it out. Great spot for our mini family vacation.

Elizabeth, thank you for providing your valuable feedback, as we use your comments as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting you again.
Clean, nicely furnished but some broken items. The drawer to the right of the stove kept opening by itself and getting in the way. All the knives were dull but that's normal. Salad tongs broken. Towel rack missing in bathroom. No cutting board. All fairly minor stuff and didn't spoil our fun. Awesome little cottage on stilts. I'd stay there longer next time.
It was clean and right off Main Street. Easy in easy out. Beds were bad. Basically a cot with 3 inch foam on top. The door locked worked(sometimes). The couch wasn’t comfortable at all we used the wood chairs instead. Shower head only sprayed 80% of the water. The living room tv volume was broken so just had to listen to it loud or not at all. All in all it wasn’t bad place just not what we were hoping. The area around the house was under construction which didn’t bother us as much just not what we thought it would be like. The place needed some love. It wasn’t a fresh and tidy and other places. All in all we had a great time and it was nice and quiet. No hair dryer FYI.

Vacasa needs to do better!
The first house that we reserved house A the AC was broken and we had to pack our belongings and go to house B. Going up and down the stairs packing stuff from one house to another was not fun. House B the house that they sent us to needs a deep cleaning and refurnished. The queen bed in the main bedroom is just a cheap frame and the mattress is not comfortable. The sofa and rug smells like a dog. Chairs at the table were dirty. In the bathroom the shower curtain was dirty and the water pressure is low. The keypad to get in both places was not easy. When we called someone about the AC and the keypad they were not the nicest and no one tried to compensate us in anyway. We went from a hot house to a dirty house. On line they say that these properties are new and that is so not true.

Thank you for your review, Hart. We deeply regret the issues that you encountered, from the maintenance issues that unexpectedly resulted in needing to move your reservation, to the state of the home to which you were moved. It is never our intention to cause such difficulties and frustration for our guests; we appreciate your feedback and are using it as a learning experience so that we can prevent any further issues in the future. We confirm the home has since been deep cleaned and all areas of concern have been addressed. A refund has been provided for the inconvenience caused. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again, in the future, for a much more enjoyable stay.
We enjoyed our stay but it wasn’t a 5 star stay. It IS a drive to the beach, not a walk. There were several things that need to be done to make a stay more enjoyable but the number ONE thing for me is the need for a working fan in the master bedroom. The fan “works” but with the remote gone we couldn’t turn off the light without turning off the fan which, in Texas, makes for an uncomfortable night of sleep with No fan to move the air. When I contacted them for help, they said the owner would be replacing the fan and eventually offered “some compensation” credited back to us. At this point, we haven’t seen any compensation for our hot nights.
A BBQ pit, single cup coffee maker, and enough “adult sized” utensils/cups for the 7 adults this place says it sleeps, would be a good start.
Some of the pluses were they had a few beach towels, left enough dishwasher tabs and laundry detergent, provided 2 trash bags, and it did sleep 7 but the pillows left a lot to be desired.
Overall, we had a good stay but not a 5 star stay in my opinion.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for your feedback. We want our guests to use all the amenities offered and are sad about the trouble with the fan in the main bedroom. We informed our local staff about these to address and ensure the home will be ready for future guests. We also hope the refund processed last January 11th alleviated some of the stress you experienced. We look to hosting you again and impressing you better.

Fair
The place was not clean and if you consider this new construction you’ve had some really rotten renters the floors were filthy the carpet was filthy. The cracks on the floor had junk in it. The stove did not work for the first 7 to 8 days. I had no vacuum I had a broom that’s it nothing to wipe the floors down and all rugs were just disgusting. We put beach towels down so we could feel comfortable walking around, the master bedroom whoever came up with that stupid idea for the type of bed that you put in the master bedroom. The shower didn’t work properly for the first 10 days we had to call three times before it finally got worked on. The windows in the whole place had black mold on them. I literally bought some bleach, paper towel and wipe the front two windows so I could stand to look out the windows. The baseboards were not wiped down at all in the bathroom. I took a washcloth with bleach and wiped it down.

This by far was the cleanest property we’ve ever stayed at. It was great to not have to spend the first hour or so, after being on the road, cleaning. We will definitely stay here again.

Overall great time
Overall my family enjoyed the house and location. Some positive aspects — very close to the beach and lots of restaurants, clean modern layout, two televisions with multiple streaming platforms available for use. When we walked in the home it smelled and looked very clean. Negatives of the house — the Wi-Fi did not work with any tablets, computer or iPhones, but worked fine with streaming through televisions, which makes no sense. Initially to get in the house was difficult because of the lock.
The property manager was very responsive. She came out the next morning to help troubleshoot the lock and stated the owner would replace it because it was giving them issues in the recent past. I was able to use the lock with a key without issues. The drain in the bathroom was slow to drain and this was fixed the day we told her as well. Lastly, we received $25 refund per day of our stay for the lack of Wi-Fi to our devices.
I would recommend staying at this house. The property manager is very responsive and I was told the owner is looking to change the Wi-Fi provider to make sure the Wi-Fi issue is resolved for the next guest. My family had a blast.

Could be good , but….
This is a cute property that is in a good location, nice and quite, however this house needs work. We couldn’t get into the house because of a faulty lock, sat on hold with property manager for a while before they could give us the code to the lock box so we could get a key to get in. Once we got the key, the door was impossible to get open and re-locked because the lock was faulty and the key would get stuck. It was very frustrating and I can’t imagine this was a new problem. The cleaning crew must have struggled to get in and out🤔
The tv in the bedroom didn’t work because the outlets don’t work and the WiFi also didn’t work.
The house is cute, and on the surface it was clean, but the kitchen cabinets and walls were really dirty and the dishes didn’t seem very clean, bedding should be replaced etc.
I think this house could be great with just a little bit of attention. Easy fixes.
