Great Place for a Golf Getaway

The house is great. Each bedroom had it own bathroom which was great for a 8 guy golf getaway.

Did not meet expectations

As others have said, the boardwalk is not accessible. The company claims this was on the listing when we booked, but I don't think I would have missed that since we were specifically looking for a place with a boardwalk (it is on the listing currently). Walking to the beach isn't difficult for most people, but for the elderly or anyone with mobility issues, it can be a challenge. We had 3 elderly people with us, and they had to take a different route to the beach to avoid going over the steep sand dunes. One member of our party stepped on a 4 inch nail, and it went completely through his foot as he was walking the path that leads you to the beach (right next to the broken boardwalk). Beware of this, and always wear shoes on the property. We ended up taking a metal detector along the path and picked up 40 more 4 inch nails that were buried in the sand. We informed management and they sent someone out to pick up more. Beware of this as this could ruin someone's vacation. The pool heater was not working when we arrived, but we were able to get it working ourselves. The hot tub did not work, and we could not get it working. The place is mostly clean, but we found rodent droppings under a couple of the sinks on the main level. The location is great with just a very short drive or long walk to restaurants.

Tolerable but well below expectations

This house worked well with our large group. The kitchen area specifically was well-suited for big gatherings with two refrigerators, ovens, microwaves and dishwashers. There was limited seating in the living room, and the three TVs were very difficult to figure out. The floors were sandy and not clean when we arrived, and both washers and both dryers were extremely moldy and gross. The house was a little bit run down and I was surprised at the apparent lack of upkeep. The biggest disappointment was the broken boardwalk. We chose this house specifically for easy beach access because we have a handicapped family member, and we were not told beforehand about the unusable boardwalk. When I happened to see it on the booking info the week before our arrival, I asked why we weren’t informed so we could make other accommodations if we needed to, and the only answer I got was that the information was listed when we booked. I finally got an answer as to when the damage occurred and it was AFTER we booked, so there was no way we could have known about the damage. I asked if there was any way we could switch houses or get a discount or even an early check in since we paid for something we weren’t getting, and Vacasa wouldn’t do anything for us. It was obvious that they didn’t care since they had our money and we were stuck as the cancellation/refund window had passed. I was very disappointed in their lack of transparency and what I consider to be basically dishonest.

October Getaway

My family and I loved this house. The elevator is a BIG plus. We did have trouble with the hot tub, but was refunded for the inconvenience. If they ever get the boardwalk fixed, we would not hesitate to stay here again.
