The Marvelous 24

Third floor air conditioning was inoperable for the entire stay. Many small discrepancies throughout the house. Front entry door was shabby looking and electronic code provided was wrong necessitating calls to the toll free number.

We had 16 adults for 5 days stayed at the house. The beach is beautiful and inviting. The house had plenty of room. Each couple had their own bedroom. Each floor has a sitting area. There were 2 rooms with 2 twin beds we just pushed together to make a king - worked perfectly. Lots of nice bathrooms! The main floor kitchen was well equipped overall. House did not have anything for the beach which was kinda shocking since it was a beach house. No chairs or anything so be prepared to go get your own. The other thing we would have loved to have a good barbacue grill to cook on. Driveway provided lots of parking. No garage access. Overall we would definitely rent this home again.

The good: house itself has stunning views, with bedrooms a plenty. We are a family of 10 who gathers every year between Christmas and the New Year in the Palm Coast/Flagler area. This house definitely met our needs. Most impressive is the private boardwalk that runs directly from the back door of main floor over the dunes and to the beach. The unfortunate: Vacasa management company. We arrived with door code and instructions for entry in hand only to find there are two keypads on the door.. one of which we had no code. It took a couple phone calls and we sat in the driveway for an hour before gaining access. Reached to Vacasa for wifi assistance as described above - frustrating that it took so long for a reply as some were trying to work. Reached to Vacasa for checkout instructions since a few people were leaving early ... no response. There is an information notebook .. but it does not contain any pertinent info. On the not as important list: We felt the provided number of trash bags/dishwasher pods/etc was petty. A large family uses a trash bag and dishwasher pod per day. When paying BIG BIG money for this place you would think these basics would be provided. Thoughtful touches like this make your guests feel appreciated and basic needs provided for. There are also NO beach chairs or beach toys for the kids. I mention this only because the 5 other homes we normally rotate between do provide chairs, toys, bikes. Also there is no access to the garage. If looking for large homes with extras galore, try Cinnamon Beach.

We were booked in to this house after we were told the house we booked was still having construction work. Much bigger than we needed. The 3rd floor has 3 bedroom/suites. All private baths. With a sitting area, with TV and fridge. The biggest downside for us was no elevator. We booked the other house for the elevator since several in our group are limited mobility. But for a big/extended family with young children this house would be perfect.

We loved everything about this home. Great for a large family. The view from each floor was breathtaking. It's a must that you visit this home!
