My wife and I stayed at Ocean Star and experienced several issues. We chose this property specifically for the hot tub and jacuzzi tub, but neither functioned properly. When my wife used the jacuzzi tub, the jets emitted foul-smelling, moldy water. The main hot tub jets did not work at all, and a Vacasa technician confirmed it was not repairable during our stay. We were told in person that we would be reimbursed $50 per night for our three-night stay, but later Vacasa only offered $50 total. Despite multiple visits to their office and follow-up emails, no one—including a representative named Ashley—ever responded. When we asked about extending our stay, we were told we would need to rebook at a higher rate and pay a second cleaning fee for a continuous stay. The home itself was nice, but Vacasa’s communication and follow-through fell well short.
Foosball table was excellent for kids, the kitchen appliances were nice and kitchen was stocked with the basics tools minus food storage. Overall the home met our needs but was lacking some of the comforts of home (# of towels provided , comfy pillows, 100% working hot tub)
We had a great stay! Everything was nice and clean and we would definitely rebook.
Absolutely beautiful and everything was so smooth as far as renting goes
Pros: - Beautiful home in an even more beautiful location. 5 min walk across the street to the ocean - Hot tub was clean and ready to go when we got there - House was clean overall - Updated appliances throughout Cons: - Blinds in master bedroom didn’t close all the way (pull-string was broken) - There was a PIN code required to dispense ice/water from the refrigerator. When I contacted Vacasa they said that was on purpose. Strange that we’d not be able to use the filtered water/ice dispenser - Bath towels were damp upon check-in - Strange/creepy issue with the trash. During our 4 night stay we took out 3 trash bags to the garbage can in the back, where it’s gated. The can was full when I put the first bag in, the next bag I went out and noticed the first bag was gone, but some of the trash from the bag itself was in the can/strewn about. Noticed the same thing when I put the 3rd bag in. Very creepy. Someone must’ve been going in the gate and taking the trash bags out but leaving some of the trash from the bags inside the can!
