A wonderful get away
The perfect location! I absolutely recommend. The house was clean. The beds were clean. The beach was clean. The den furniture could be updated and more comfortable, but we spent most of our time on the beach.

Incredible Gulf-front location. House was very comfortable. We were missing some bed linens and a grill when we arrived but the online Vacasa agent notified the local management right away and they reacted quickly and courteously to provide them.

Right on the beach, but needs improvement
Furniture needs replacing. Upstairs shower contains mold. The place is tidy, but not clean. The saving grace is that it's on the beach, but the underneath of the house is not clean so it's impossible to not track sand into the house. AC is nice and cold. Not enough blankets or towels.

Pictures are deceiving
This house has the potential to be fabulous. The location couldn’t be much better but the furniture is so old, dirty and uncomfortable it’s hard to enjoy it when you’re inside. The pictures that are posted on the rental sites much be from years ago. It’s the same furniture but with a lot more wear and tear. The cookware wasn’t any better. We were pretty disappointed. I sent the property manger pictures and they said they would adress it after out stay. Hopefully they will.

Spring Break Stay
The home was great for what we needed it for. It's right on the beach and was a nice space. The home is not really updated and had some weathered spots (scrapes and holes in walls, mismatched flooring, doors had unattached weathering strips). We were a family of 6 and the 3 bedrooms worked out for us. The couch and furniture, including mattresses, has seen some wear and tear as well. But as I said, it was a nice quaint stay.

Beautiful View
The proximity to the water from the home is the best thing about this rental. The ease of stepping right out of the door and onto the sand is unmatched. The next best thing is being able to bring our Golden Retrievers with us. They are larger dogs and not many places will allow their stay.

Would stay again!
Great location, just far enough from condos and public beaches that the beach was not occupied in front of the house. Close enough to retail and restaurants to be convenient. Coffee or breakfast on the deck with a perfect view of the beach. Kitchen and bathrooms appointed with enough amenities you don't need to bring anything. Laundry was easy to use as well. Wi-Fi sufficient for me to get my work done if I needed. If this property is available, I'd be back yearly, if not more often.

Beach
The house layout was fantastic. The room upstairs is great. The views were absolutely priceless. The only thing I would say is the furniture seemed a little dungey or dirty. And the ceiling fan in the living room had tons and tons. Caked on dust, but you can't really. Expect too fancy when you're allowed to bring your dog.

Daydream Hideaway
Beautiful view, however it is a shame that all of the chairs were broken on the deck!! Based on previous reviews, this has been brought to your attention before. Someone is going to get hurt!! Washer/Dryer were good! Furniture is worn out. The sofa was so nasty, that we covered it with a sheet!! The dining room table was white, but covered in permanent marker! We had to buy a table cloth to cover if!! Sliding glass door does not lock and TV never worked in living area. Can’t beat the view and beach, a little attention to detail would have made it great!!

Location is great
Excellent home location on beach but the home was not clean, dust and smudge marks on furniture & windows. Sand on floors and staircase which is expected to a certain extent. The inside HVAC filter is covered in mold and dust. Also only two beds had blankets not sure why the other two only had sheets. I had to go purchase blankets the first night so everyone had a blanket (lost time from my family on vacation). Tv upstairs does not work.

Older House on a Quiet Private Beach
Overall the house was on a quiet private beach with plenty of restaurants close by. The house was clean except under the beds and couch. Beds were comfortable but would recommend a few blankets in the house. Kitchen has basic appliances but you will need to bring all extras such as foil, non stick spray, salt and pepper, etc. There is a small store close by. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the patio in the mornings and evenings!

Older home needs improvement
This is an older home and needs lots of updates. We had to purchase or own blankets for the upstairs beds. We called to get this resolved when we checked in and no one ever got back to me. The next day a customer service rep stated "it was after hours" when I contacted them. We also had to supply some of our cooking utensils. The chairs for the beach were broken. If it wasn't directly on the beach we would have been very unhappy.

Beautiful location but dirty
The location was perfect. Easy access to beach. Outstanding view. Home was dirty, particularly the bathrooms. Urine was caked on bottom of stools, hair in the tub drain, mold on plastic shower curtain. On a stormy afternoon, water poured into the master bedroom from the ceiling. Came down the wall and poured out of an electrical outlet. Luckily didn’t get bed wet but did get some of our belongings wet. When we called about it, they said they would address it once we left.

Amazing view & location, but worn out home!
The location and view was wonderful! The view itself was 5 stars but the condition of the home was very disappointing just barely a 2 star! The home and furniture looks like it has been neglected. There were multiple dangerous items throughout the house: (rusty nails sticking out of porch handrails, floorboards entering home from porch were uneven and sagging, rusty metal poles laid on outdoor porch and in sand on lower deck, broken glass in sand below deck, rusty outdoor table on deck with no chairs, lounge chairs on deck were cracked on the seat, a tree in living room with no stand being held up by a chair pushed against it). The living room furniture is very worn, stained, and uncomfortable. The beds were very uncomfortable. There was a random alarm/buzzing noise coming from the kitchen area every couple of hours. The home has enormous potential, but needs a lot of work!!

Disappointed stay
The view is amazing BUT the house is a disappointment. One TV didn’t work, the outside patio furniture was broken so you had no way of lounging on the back deck. All the water sport equipment listed on the website wasn’t there and what was there couldn’t be used because of damage. The pull out couch bed could not be slept on because the frame was broken to the bed. All cooking pans were old and hard to cook with. I contacted the property manager by text and sent pictures. They were quick to respond to the text but never came out to fix anything. I will not rent this property again and will not rent another property managed by Vacasa. When you pay $633 a night with all the fees you expect things to be nice and in working order.

Amazing beach view
Awesome view from the kitchen, living room and deck. Very short distance to the beach. Great location in general in regards to restaurants, groceries and liquor stores. Beds were very comfy including the pillows. Bring your own cook-wear if you want to cook. Were definitely some wear and tear on the skillets. Do not depend on a grill for grilling out. (One was not located on the property as pictured.) hammock was not there, Spoke with the manager and was told it was not an amenity that was included even though it was listed and pictured. Picnic table needs replaced or repaired, be careful sitting on it. Nice having a washer and dryer. House was clean except for some sand on the floor but what do you expect, it’s a beach house lol. House needs some painting but overall a great place to stay! I would stay again at this same house!
