Wonderful Beach House
The house was perfect for our trip. Lots of space for the kids. The walk to the beach was a snap. The beds were very comfortable!! I Highly recommend

Annual family beach week
The pool area was nice and yard was nicely shaded with surrounding trees. There were plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and adirondak chairs on the decks, but there were no beach chairs or beach toys to take to the beach. The kitchen only had 2 servicing bowls, not enough for serving large group dinners. The floors throughout the house are vinyl and very noisy, not absorbing the sound which made it hard for many to sleep. We will likely pick a home with carpet for future rentals.

Large Home- But needs Improvements
We had a great time, but there were a few things the stuck out to us. There were leaves all over the upper deck- just hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The back yard where the volleyball net is was very unkept as well; the sand was full of sticks, leaves, and prickle bushes. Be careful of your feet!!!! There were a few linens that had red stains on them in our beds. There were also a few comforters that had white stuff on them. At first glance when we got there it looked fine but as the week went on there were stains and uncleanliness in spots. The pool area was also very dirty, there was a bandaid next to the hot tub when we got there. The house is perfect for a large group, but the yard is unkept and the house was dirty. The walk to the beach was very close and we all felt very safe the whole time. Would have been perfect if it was cleaner.
Stayed 5 nights in May 2024

Three families had a great time
We were very pleased with this house! There was plenty of room for our three families and the house provided all the things we needed. The kitchen had more than enough items for meal prep and eating, and the two dishwashers made things very convenient. The house was high quality and well maintained. We took full advantage of the many games provided in the house. Vacasa was very responsive to us; we had a small issue with a porch swing, and within an hour of reporting, someone was there to fix it.
