Dog-friendly beach house with balcony, fenced yard, & AC - walk to beach

Had enough space for our family vacation

Home was super clean and beautiful. Downstairs thermostat did not work it stayed 81 degrees but overall we loved our weekend getaway.

This was our second time staying at this house and every time has been great! The only thing that could have been done is the walls needed a good scrub. The house smelled and looked clean besides the walls in the bathrooms.

Yes the house needs a lot of improvement for the money being charged a night!!! Walls are very stain need to be painted, backyard was not mowed, outside trash can was over flowing when we arrive, one of the upstairs shower curtains was very old haven’t been washed in months, bedroom with bunk beds floor has a weak spot needs to be replaced, one of the chairs in the living room was horrible with stains it needs to thrown in the dumpster!!! I will not stay at this property again!!!!

We booked this house for the number of bed/bath and location, hoping for a great family trip from Friday to Monday for memorial weekend. Unfortunately, the stay was not up to par AT ALL. The worst thing about the stay was the plumbing situation… we were not able to use the lower bathroom the whole stay. The first night/early morning (Friday/Saturday), a nice neighbor came over (around 12am) to let us know that the sump pump(?) alarm was going off and what we should do - call vacasa and tell them the alarm was going off and have someone come out in the AM and that we should limit water use. She mentioned that she had to let the last renters know the alarm was going off too but she didn’t think they did anything or called vacasa about it since it was now going off again. The next morning (Saturday) we used the downstairs bathroom (to just urinate, btw) and it clogged/the water came up. We also noticed the bathtub was dirty and looked like someone had puked in it, but none of us did. Eventually, we began getting changed to go to the beach but noticed a smell coming from the downstairs bathroom. We looked inside and the tub had filled up with sewage water and filled with feces. This loop of the tub filling up and toilet over flowing with sewage water continued for the rest of the 3 day stay. Please keep in mind we did not use the downstairs bathroom at all and the toilet was still getting clogged and over flowing. On top of the plumbing situation, the couch and pillows smelled like cat/dog pee (we wanted to let vacasa know ahead of time about the smell so we wouldn’t get blamed for it since we did bring our furry friend). The floor was dirty and left our feet black. We originally honored the “no shoes inside the house” policy but multiple of us kept stepping on the spiky sand spurs inside the house and even broke skin and bled… we were under the impression the house has been cleaned and vacuumed before we came. They were in/on the rugs and on the wood flooring. The walls in the bathroom were dirty and stained as well. And the overall communication with Vacasa (the management company) was horrible. We attempted to contact vacasa multiple times with the urgent plumbing issue but we received multiple messages that seemed like they were automatic or generic (from multiple different vacasa “employees”). Eventually someone came out on Saturday around 1pm and “fixed” the issue but when we got back from the beach around 3pm, the alarm was going off again and sewage water was running from the side drainage area and in the downstairs bathroom. We continued to contact vacasa and received the same generic messages. Another person came out the next day (Sunday) and unclogged the toilet and said they “fixed” the issue. But it was not, and we contacted vacasa again. We did not even attempt to use the downstairs bathroom at all during the stay. Not only has the communication with vacasa been horrible, but the issue with the pluming is a BIOHAZARD to our health!

Very disappointed with the back yard. The yard cannot be used at all for any enjoyment, because of lack of maintenance and the extremely sharp burrs that are all over the back yard. We had several problems with the plumbing in the second bathroom with slow draining in the tub. The vacuum was broke for the upstairs not sure that the carpet had been vacuumed before arrival. No extra bed linens or blankets. The walls were spotted from touch up paint through out the house from what appeared where in the past a child had written on the walls. The walls should have been painted not spot painted . Cannot use the bicycle's, all four had flat tires. The deck off of the master bedroom has nail heads sticking out, “found those the hard way”. We wasn’t going to call maintenance every time there was an issue, because we wasn’t there to deal with someone coming in and out while we were there. Property management needs to pay more attention to the maintenance of the home. The most annoying thing is the extremely long code for the front door. Almost impossible to remember, 10 digits long. If don’t remember the 10 digits and you don’t have your phone to look at when enter then your locked out! I tried to get the code changed to something easier, but was told that’s what it would be. Note the linens and furniture were very clean. Overall the interior of the house appeared and felt clean. The road was nice, had low traffic.
