We liked the idea that this rental home was on the beach and allowed dogs, as we often travel with our 8 lb maltese. The location of Just Beachy is great, and the deck on the house with chairs is terrific, but the house makes it seem that they are making only minor repairs to keep it renting.
Here are some of the issues: the "bedroom" where the twin beds are housed is VERY small (maybe 5' x 6') and seems to have been a foyer that has been walled off to make a bedroom. When in use this blocks the front door entrance, unless you want to disturb the person(s) sleeping there or using that room.
the TV in one of the master bedrooms never worked. 2 repair people from Vacasa were sent out, and each said the signal from the Comcast modem was too low for it to work in that room.
There are a few places in the hardwood floors that need repairs from what looks like termite damage that spans at least a foot long.
2 toilet paper holders and one robe hook were found broken when we arrived.
The sliding glass door which is the main entrance and exit since the front door is in a bedroom, is quite hard to operate. Not sure if oil and just general maintenance is needed, but a good amount of strength is needed to open/close it.
The blinds over the sliding glass door are missing several slats, making me wonder if we were truly able to abide by the "no outdoor lights after 9pm, if we were using the kitchen, dining area, etc, and had lights on. There was no way to stop the light from being seen from the beach.
The airflow for A/C has possibly been addressed (as I read many mentions of it in reviews before we stayed there), but we found that all of the bedrooms were hot or stuffy at night if we closed our doors to go to bed.
The game room/basement was extremely musty and not a desirable place to hang out. Dim lighting didn't add to the ambience. and the Christmas tree in the corner just made it feel a little creepy.
The garbage disposal on one of the sinks didn't work, but the other seemed good. The kitchen overall was in good condition and worked well for our needs.
My mother in law mentioned several times that this was a party house. That may be true and if I were in college travelling with friends to go drink at the beach, maybe it would have been fine, but for us, it was just kind of "beat".
