You cant imagine how BAD!!!!
We booked this house for labor day a found this location, which was actually a GREAT location! The house on the other hand was a disaster.....we had broken pipes flooding the downstairs, and dumping water all over our stuff!!! Toilets not working, roof leaking and not lights downstairs or down the stair case.....literally a safety hazard!! Upon arrival it looked like a construction site with construction debris around the down stairs and dirt surrounding. If you risk staying at this rental you better bring kitchen utensils. The layout of the house was great and the furniture had a western feel.....the problem was that the sliding doors did not slide, lights did not work, there is a major bug problem in the laundry room, the deck has speratic nails sticking up, construction debris around the house and honestly this house was not ready to have guest rent it and pay what it cost. I can assure you that the management company would come after a renter if the property was left the way we walked in. We contacted the management company (Vacasa) all weekend!!! They acted like they had never seen the property and were surprised about our findings....that told me they had never been to the rental. I am actually engaged with legal counsel for a partial refund and this house does not meet the minimum standard. Let me know if you want pictures if you doubt my review. Vacasa and VRBO should do better for their rental customers.

Great Family Vacation
We needed a home stay for 11 relatives to stay together. This was a beautiful home, with relaxing views, and close to the beach for fun with the teenagers. Thank you.

Memorial Weekend
The dryer had no ON knob, so it did not work nor did the jetted tub in the master bath, .there was a condom wrapper by the night stand in the loft and hairs on the bed when we got there and there was a wad of toilet paper in the master toilet that was to big to flush and many lightbulbs throughout the house didn’t work..

Great get away
Great experience, maintenance came quickly on a water issue and it was fixed. Great views, further from the beach than I thought, but it is still close. Recommend bringing additional cooking utensils if you plan to cook a lot.

Plumbing problems
The first night there was ok but the lightning outside didn't work...it was really dark going down the stairs. Second night toilet back up. The next day plumbing went crazy. Keep looking!

A lot of up and downs
poor lighting, stairs shaky , the fridge not in good shape. The best part was that it was close to the beach. And the whirlpool tub not working. It does have nice outside grill and table. My grandma came and was very hard for her to go up and down the stairs she ended up sleeping on the couch.

The pictures make this s cabin look great. In actuality it's not clean and needs lots of repairs. I was very excited to see this property but I was disappointed. The elevator for luggage almost cut me in half. We talked to property management. They never sent anyone to disable are put signs showing the danger. All they could do is try to play it off that it was my fault. I will never recommend Vacasa to anyone. I hate to write a bad review but it's needed. With a little work it could be great. And hire a new cleaning service cause they do a horrible job.
