NTB538 Ocean Green

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Green! The house sits right on the beach and has great views from the living room or deck!

This is our fourth stay at Ocean Green, and it is by far our favorite place to stay! The location and proximity to the beach and ocean are absolutely beautiful. You won’t find a more peaceful place, just seven steps from the beach! The sunrises are breathtaking! We’ve noticed some updates to the house, like a new deck and possibly a few other minor improvements. However, there are some issues that need fixing. One slider door is not usable, as it is very difficult to open or close, so we didn’t use it at all. The pillows were terrible, and we should have brought our own. The bathroom in the hallway needs renovation, as you can see the basement through the floor behind the toilet. The kitchen countertops need replacing, as the Formica is in bad shape in some areas. The living room couch was very uncomfortable. If you’re looking for a hotel or condo experience, this isn’t it. However, you won’t find anything better than this house for its location and breathtaking views of the ocean, sunrises, and nighttime stars!

the fact that it was right on the beach would great. the public access right next to us was not so great. lots of people putting up their beach stuff right in front of the house. would also have been nice to have an outside shower to wash the sand off. otherwise very nice place. enjoyed it

Someone else described it as rustic... which is pretty accurate. You are paying for the location. But the house is not being kept up. Our family stays in rustic cabins in national parks so our tolerance is pretty high which is why we are giving 3 stars. But the price of this house does not reflect the condition you would expect. The furniture is old & a chair appeared to have been previously glued back together & broke again while my spouse was sitting on it. The doors stick pretty bad & it needs a deep clean and some paint. The fridge is old, with rust spots & missing a bunch of door shelves. The dunes have shifted up under the house and onto the stairs (there is nothing anyone can do about this) but there is no outside water source to rinse you or your beach items, so the volume of sand going into the house can be monumental unless you come up with a foot wash. Also note that you get a starter pack of dish soap & dishwasher packs, but there is nothing to clean the kitchen with if you cook. So plan to bring or buy your own. Overall, the location is great because you can't get any closer to the water than this. But if you are used to a really clean, updated vacation home or condo, you are likely not going to be happy here.

This house should not be on the rental market. It is unsafe, unsanitary, and misleadingly advertised. The couch was filthy and collapsing, a chair had been nailed back together, and most furniture was damaged or broken. The windows were fogged with broken seals, and the sliding door was so packed with dirt it was dangerous to open. The dining table was not as pictured—scraped, dirty, and missing cushions. There was no working dining room light, and the only nearby fixture flickered so badly we had to remove the bulb for our epileptic son’s safety. The kitchen was severely understocked. The cookware was burned and unusable, the silverware dollar-store quality, the refrigerator rusty and missing door shelves. Mold was growing behind the sink, and the A/C vents were filled with dust and black mold. The A/C barely cooled during the day. The bedding was stained with what appeared to be bodily fluids. After complaining, Vacasa dropped off cheap “bed-in-a-bag” sets and expected us to wash them. Closets and dressers reeked of mold. One blind had a 4-inch hole facing a public access point—took 3 days to replace. Both showers had black mold. The basement reeked of mildew and mold was visible on the walls. Under the house, insulation was hanging and the subfloor was falling apart. One ceiling fan shattered when we tried to adjust it. Carpets were filthy. Lighting was terrible. Screens were broken, windows taped shut, and many features were unsafe. This house is misleadingly advertised and poses health and safety risks. Do not rent this property. Vacasa should be ashamed to manage it.

Based on previous reviews, we were pleasantly surprised! Excellent location beachfront, privacy, and lovely home.
