Overall very good property. Steps to the beach. Plenty of beds and baths. The upper deck was unusable due to rotting wood but otherwise it was perfect for our family. Definitely will rent again.

Sorta Dunes

Your basic spot with below average bedding and linens. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep ok… and bring your own blankets as there are basically two sheets on each bed.

Mold, Unclean, Poor Customer Service

The home was not clean upon arrival. Items from previous guests were on the furniture. There were other small issues, but the major problem was black mold all over most of the vents in the home. I submitted photos and videos to Vacasa, and was told someone from the local team would reach out. I checked in regularly for updates and was told there were none. After our stay was over, someone reached out and said they submitted our information. I checked in for future updates, but have not heard back from anyone. Extremely disappointing in any situation, but especially for the price. They handled this health and safety issue very poorly. I can't imagine ignoring the problem will do them any favors in the long run.

Poor customer support

Discovered multiple issues with the house and couldn't get anyone to come out and fix. Master shower was covered in mold. Bedroom was not cleaned. A/C vents were sweating. Reached out to vacasa and they could get in touch with the local property management.

No local response for any of the issues

The AC worked really well, the location was steps from the beach, plenty of cooking utensils in kitchen, good house plan for 6-8 adults. For the cons: we contacted via text and we were told the local manager would call and no one ever called or addressed the problems. In 4 days, no one called or attempted to address the issues which is why I’m sharing these details. Roof leaked during rain, old/dirty furniture, bathrooms need updates, washer didn’t work properly, the pool/hot tub/and pool area was filthy (unusable), no patio furniture on the top floor deck, some doors need replacing, poor quality sheets/ blankets/bedding, some of the dining/living room light bulbs need to be replaced or are not working. Also, needs a sign on the house to signify which rental it is. I usually do not leave negative comments but since no one ever called to address any of them, I was very disappointed. Especially paying for a place with a pool and it’s unusable and not being told so.

Great Family Vacation !

Lotsa Dunes was the perfect layout for our family, plus the beach was not crowded. Alas, the internet was all but non-existent. Could not communicate via email or download news.

Home away from home

We love staying at Lots A Dunes because the beach is quiet and not crowded and the home is comfortable for our multiple families and there is a pool We plan to continue to stay at Lots A Dunes as long as the dates are available that we need The poor Vacasa management, slow response time for service calls and even some issues not being addressed at all are the issues that we have had for several years now

Great house, horrible management company

We rented this house thru Vacasa. Upon arriving, we learned there were no linens in the house. Not a sheet, pillowcase or towel anywhere. They were not delivered until the next day, so the first night we slept under beach towels. We also called maintenance about mold in a shower, a broken faucet and dirty diapers from the previous guest. No one responded or came to the property, so we had to remedy this ourselves. In trying to get a resolution to these maintenance issues, no one will respond to my emails or phone calls. The house would have otherwise been great, too bad the management company is so difficult and unresponsive. DO NOT STAY HERE!

We enjoyed the size of the house and close proximity to the beach. We love the Fort Morgan Beach area. No high rises and almost like having a private beach.
