Pros - great location, beach decor (a lot of decorations), quiet area of the beach
Cons- black mold throughout the furnace closet, silverfish in the bathrooms, no plug for the bathtub, missing & broken spindles in the deck and stairway, some broken pieces in home (decor & furniture), some stains on bedding and furniture, deck furniture broken, dents and marks on flooring, slow response time by vacasa
We stayed at this property with 2 small children and chose this property because it was "family friendly". The deck facing the ocean had numerous broken and missing spindles, making gaps large enough that either of my children could have fallen through. There was a baby gate zip tied to the gate at the top of the deck stairs. It fell off, nearly on top of my 1 year old. There were a lot of rusty screws sticking out from the wood on the deck. The deck was completely unsafe for children. The doors and locks leading out to the decks were easy to open - so easy that my 3 year old was able to do so. There was a security system in the property that was not functioning according to vacasa. The windows let in lovely breezes, but a large piece of plastic fell out of one when I opened it. One of the blinds fell off of a window at 1am, waking all of us up.
My toddler broke out in a rash soon after we arrived. I thought it might be the bedding (low quality sheets and unsure of the detergent since none was left in the home). Soon after, I found the closet housing the furnace, which was covered in black mold. Numerous calls were made to vacasa to remedy this, with little response. We were constantly told that a ticket was entered. A staff member from housekeeping was sent over less than 24 hours before we were scheduled to leave. She was helpful and was able to provide additional toiletries but was not able to do anything about the mold or the deck.
On the first full day and second night we lost power due to a storm. Things were fine during the day, as there was a lot of natural light. As night approached, we looked for flashlights and candles. The flashlights did not work, there were no batteries and there was one candle.
When we arrived (6 people, 5 days), there were 2 small bars of soap, 2 hotel sized shampoos & conditioners, 1 hand soap for 2 bathrooms, 2 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels and no laundry detergent. Propane ran out and wasn't replaced for nearly 24 hours and several calls to vacasa.
