Very disappointing home
Unfortunately this house in in serious need of a deep cleaning and maintenance. This was a double listing and unfortunately we rented through Vacassa. Let's just say I will not rent through Vacassa again. We have always used VRBO and will do so in the future. The pool was lovely and the heat on the water was very nice. (paid additional for in advance) There was ongoing porch renovation that we were assured would be completed by our arrival. It was not- and dangerous. The ceiling around the fireplace area outdoors was coming down and too presented an imminent danger. The door code was not working and our entrance was delayed for a while as the "so called local number" routed to an overseas operator although it was still during Vacassa so called business hours. The golf cart which we also purchased and completed paperwork for was inaccessible for 24+hrs. Again Vacassa did not answer their "local" phone after 9am- rather my call was forwarded to an overseas operator. The beds had no mattress pads and the mattresses were stained. Not all the beds were made on arrival. The house was dirty in arrival/. The white sofa bed at top of the second floor was coming apart and whoever sat on it walked away with white speckled pants. I would not recommend this property. Vacassa did attempt to make good on these issues by sending a less than substantial reimbursement for inconvenience. It did not even cover the cleaning fee that we paid when renting the home.

Nice Home, needs some renovations / repairs
We stayed in this house for 7 nights with our family of 12. We had 7 kids, and overall it fit us okay with one kid sleeping on a couch. It would be difficult to have many more people stay here comfortably. We had a fun vacation and the host / property mgmt company, Vacasa, was good to work with. However the house was previously listed for sale and seemed to not been well maintained since listed for sale. Mostly cosmetic items, a few functional, but for the price and location of the home I was expecting it to be a bit nicer condition than it was. The majority of the issues were outside, where there was several areas of mold or mildew on furniture, the house itself, columns outside, no plants in all the pots, weeds growing through the pool stone, rust on the handles of the kitchen, rotten wood where water was leaking inside the home and garage. Inside several of the kitchen cabinets had rust, water leaked through the sliding door very badly causing a puddle inside.The Master rooms were nice, spacious bathrooms and showers, and the kitchen / living area was a good gathering place for the entire family. The golf cart was fun, but seats only 6. Easy walk to the beach. Beach location was busy, but you could still find a spot most days. Crab Trap is a busy spot, and there is an umbrella vendor out front every day that sets up umbrellas across the entire public area in front of crab trap. Car parking was very limited. The neighborhood was nice, gated and felt safe. Pickle ball court / tennis court and basketball court was fun. It was nice the house had a pool to rinse off the salt water after a long day at the beach. All this we could live with and enjoyed the time at the beach, but it was disappointing and we will not be renting this home again.

Great house!
We really enjoyed this home! Very close to the beach! Amazing outdoor space with a pool and hot tub that we used every day! We spent evenings outside as well and used the grill to cook dinner one night. The golf cart was an added bonus and fun for the kids. We would book this place again!
