The kitchen has minimal stuff to cook with. The grill was rough with no propane. We ended up using the charcoal grill after we purchased fuel and a lighter. The house was very clean and nice. They also worked with us when we were delayed 24 hours. There is a starter kit with dish soap, laundry soap and paper towels. There were no beach towels however. The pool and hot tub worked well and just like the pictures showed. The location was excellent. Right in the middle of the island.

Everything was great we travel with our family of 9. The place was spacious and the hot tub & pool were great. They had a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook. There were bath & beach towels. Would stay again!

Great location
We definitely loved having a private pool and hot tub. The house is close enough to the beach that we sometimes walked. The sunset is spectacular from the end of the road. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the sunset colors change in the evenings. Great location. Felt safe in the neighborhood.

We stayed over NYE weekend. The home is nice and spacious. The heated pool was a big hit for the kids and the hot tub was an adult fav. The property management was excellent and super responsive. The master bath has a bidet which is very accessory. Definitely would stay again!

Lovely bayside home!
We loved this home! Lots of space and a great pool and backyard. Plenty of room for family and entertainment. The garage space was great for water gear, etc. We would come back!
Our overall impression of the property was good. The house was beautiful and our family really enjoyed themselves! A few things that would have been beneficial would be to have more than just two large trash bags provided and dishwasher pods. These two items were not sufficient for a family of eight. We will definitely book again!

Pleasantly surprised!
The house was beautiful, the view to the bay was spectacular! The house was clean upon arrival. The only suggestions are to take kitchen necessities such as pot holders, baking sheets, etc. They did provide travel soaps in each bathroom and several towels.
Great house and space for all (8 adults & toddler). Pool was good alternative to beach. Good selection of kitchenware, games, puzzles. But, carpet was old and stained and ac filter was very very dirty. Garage door has issues opening. It was still a good property and we would stay there again.

Can’t wait to come back ⭐️
Loved everything, especially the private pool. This home has lots of room for personal space yet cozy enough for family bonding. Vacasa responded immediately to our concerns (pool was cleaned within a couple hours), the trash bins were full when we arrived but we were informed that the dump trucks weren’t working for pick up. Our only small concern is that the ice maker didn’t work and the refrigerator cooled minimally. Overall, this home and vacation was worthy of 5 stars. We’re looking forward to our next trip back ar Gardenia house 🌸
