The location of the house, ocean view, pool, hot tub, and the decks really made our visit incredibly memorable and enjoyable. I felt that the description of the house was accurate. The kitchen was modern and very amenable to cooking large meals for our family. All 10 adults could sit and enjoy time on the various decks, enjoying the view and watching the kids in the pool from all different angles, regardless of the weather. The house was quiet and private, with easy beach access.
Only hiccups were that when we first arrived at the house the kitchen was not as clean as it could have been, and there were some stains on the bedroom carpets and some of the bedding (comforters and blankets) looked like they needed to be washed. I contacted Vacasa and they offered to re-clean the house for free, and we were given brand new bedding. Part of our fees up front did include a cleaning fee, so we felt this was appropriate.
One of the shower doors in the lower level fell off and injured one of our adult relatives. One of our patio door handles also came off, and the toaster oven malfunctioned. We contacted Vacasa and a service man came out within the next few hours (this was on a Sunday) and addressed all of these issues.
There were carpenter ants around the hot tub. These were actually found by the pool technician/lawn technician who came by to check on things early in the week. He took care of the ants and we were able to enjoy the hot tub for the rest of the week.
The pool fee is hefty, but we felt it was worth it because the kids really enjoyed the pool every day. The pool was clean and well maintained. It was the second week of March so still chilly and the pool warmth made all the difference.
We did call in prior to our visit to ask about the exact type of kitchen appliances that would be included and if there was a DVD player. We were told that there wasn't a DVD player, but later found out there was. We were also told there were only basic kitchen tools, and later found that there were more kitchen items available. This was a special surprise, but it would've been nice if we had been given a little more accurate information to start.
Overall, this was a great house. This is a beautiful part of South Carolina. I expect to return in the future.
