Although I am giving this one only two stars, let me start with something positive. This facility would easily be worth five stars if it were properly maintained, equipped, supplied, and managed. The problem is that it isn’t. The most egregious issue that we encountered was visible black mold in one of the downstairs units. When I sent photos to the management company, they sent their local person over to look. She recommended that we vacate the unit, which we did. My question is why this issue was discovered by a renter? The mold is easily visible. It was spread out over two walls. It didn’t appear the day before we arrived. Why didn’t the cleaning crew report it? The cleaning crew were responsible for other disappointments we had with this rental. Their cleaning efforts seemed cursory and superficial. For example, the bathroom in Smuggler’s Cove appeared to have been only lightly touched – a curl of the previous tenant’s hair clogged the drain in the sink and another whisp had been left on the surface of the sink itself. There was a spider in the tub and another on the floor. There was a generous handful of dry cereal – multi-colored circles, possibly Fruit Loops? – under a cushion of the couch in the living room of the main house. Other deferred maintenance items detracted from my experience. The windows are double-paned. At least two of them leak. Salt water has gotten between the panes. I have a longer list but Expedia imposes a space limitation.

Not What it Appears!
The Pictures & description need to be updated! We picked this location for 2 reasons 1. We wanted to be right on the water. 2. We wanted 1 big house for the family to be all together. The photos make it appear like it’s just a few short steps to the beach out the back door and a nice grass area with a fire pit. In reality you go down at least 10 steep sketchy steps to a fork in the overgrown stickerbush path to even sketchier steps to the first fire pit which needs stickerbush clean up & has 2 rickety chairs. Or you go left and wind around a stickerbush overgrown path to the 2nd fire pit that’s hard to see through the sticker bushes. Then continue to another set of rickety wood stairs down to the beach. The house was not all together. It’s 3 separate units. The upstairs is the main house and downstairs (accessible outside only) are 2 smaller units. They all have separate names and are set up to be individually rented. So you could have other people below or above you. Not how it was stated in the description or shown in pictures. Also it took us an hour on the phone with the rental company (vacasa) to figure out the correct lock box codes to get in all the units. The house itself was clean enough, but had crumbs on the kitchen counter upon arrival and could use a deep clean for stains as it’s an older home. The light in one of the bedrooms didn’t work. The main bathroom upstairs locks you in. The dishwasher left black grime on all the dishes. We had to hand wash everything.

Typical Vacasa Rental
Location was great, plenty of parking. There are no T spoons and limited forks in the main upstairs. Toilet in master has water running all the time, needs maintenance. BBQ was great. Ned more dishwasher and clothes washing machine pods. We were given the wrong combination for the lock box in one of the lower units, we rented the entire house. Low water pressure and lots of air in the upstairs main house. Mutiny Bay bathtub drains slowly. Ice machine on main floor has hole and drops to bottom of freezer. Mutiny Bay living room missing slats on vertical blinds and mutiny bay bedroom has no blinds. Sofa beds stated in description were trundle beds. No mattress, you sleep on couch cushions. Overall grounds need significant maintenance. Stairs and path to the beach are dangerous, missing wooden board on several steps. Smugglers Cove suite smelled a little like smoke.
