Great location; Spacious home for large families, but…

The location was great &?the neighborhood was lovely for walking & biking; however, the house was not clean when we arrived. Trash cans in the garage were overflowing & the counter surfaces/sinks needed to be wiped down. Carpets were in need of a vacuum. Additionally, there were insufficient place settings for the 9 guests we indicated when making the reservation. Also, the list of amenities is misleading in the property description as it appears that access is included in the price. Only after I made the reservation did we get an email that access was available for an additional cost.

Family Stay

The property is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that was perfect for walking & biking and the size of the house certainly was suitable for the 9 members of our family. However, upon check-in, the house appeared not to have been prepared for us between renters, as the garage trash cans were overflowing, the bathroom counters/sinks required a wipe down, & the carpets appeared not to have been vacuumed. Additionally, there was insufficient place settings provided for the number of guests we indicated.As far as the web description of the house, the neighborhood & proximity to the beach were accurately conveyed; however, the pool & sauna amenities listed appear as if these are included in your stay which is misleading. It is only after I booked our reservation that I received a separate email conveying that membership passes must be purchased for an additional fee in order to have access these amenities.I would recommend the property if greater care was taken to clean the property & ensure that the house supplies could accommodate the number of guests.

Our Stay

The neighborhood is wonderful. Very peaceful and friendly. The house was a bit dated and in need of some TLC. It felt unkept and unclean. The washer sounded like an aircraft carrier. We had ants. The mattresses were uncomfortable. Dog hair was left from the previous renter. We have rented in that community before and expected the same type of experience but didn’t get it.

Whole House Smells Like Dog Urine!!

There was nothing to love about this place it reeked of dog urine, the odor overtook the house and our lungs! The house needs a complete overhaul, the furniture was torn and very worn…Within minutes we knew there was no staying at this house. Vacasa was of no help in giving us a refund or helping us find another place to stay! Vacasa told us we didn’t give them a chance to remedy the problem, that would have required replacement of every inch of carpeting, all upholstered furniture and bedding. The dog pee smell was so strong , exposure to this to the odor could cause lung and eye irritations. Shame on Vacasa for representing this house…I will never use Vacasa again, they left us hanging and management was very rude and flippant about the condition of this property. Luckily, we were able to rented another home with Airbnb.

Bethany Beach Vacation

We are able to take our dogs to this house, lots of places to walk. Shuttle to beach but also just a few minutes drive to the beach. The house is great for us, has all the amenities we needed.

Great location, house size and design great for family.

Bear Creek Dunes is our go to location at Bethany Beach. We love the neighborhood for our family. This house is big enough for our family, well designed for comfort for the length of stay.

Enjoyed our 2 week vacation

Conveniently located. Great amenities. Accommodated 8 of us comfortably; however the second floor bedrooms and bath have an odd configuration. ( One bedroom lacks access to the bathroom without going through another bedroom.) We enjoyed the screen porch in the morning and the front porch in the evening.

Needs upgrading

As this is our second stay in this home, I have seen many changes and not for the better. I am grateful to have my dog stay with us but that doesn’t excuse the household items being run down or dirty. I had to clean out the silverware drawer and the pots and pans. The master suite had a huge stain on the carpet and the ceiling had a water stain. The living run furniture was quite broken in and not clean. It’s also time to replace the dining chairs that felt unsteady. This time there were no beach umbrellas or blow dryers. While the home is big and spacious located in a beautiful development with nice amenities, it’s a shame to let it get run down. By the way there is also a loose board on the front steps. This was not a cheap vacation rental.

Beautiful Home

The Neighborhood of Bear Trap Dunes is really scenic and beautiful. It's so quiet and feels like your in a movie as you walk around the neighborhood. The house was great, and we loved the outdoor screened in porch. Plenty of bedrooms and beds and bathrooms for everyone! Would recommend staying here for family vacations!

Golf Vacation

The house and neighborhood was perfect for a golf vacation. The house was well-appointed with all the needs for a great time. The only concern was it smelled like cat urine when you first walk in. Also a carpet stain when you walk into master bedroom. The Master bedroom floor squeaks when you walk which can be quite annoying while you are sleeping. However, the rest of the house was great. Perfect back yard if you have kids or a dog.

Quiet Golf Course

Nice place, big front and back porch. Neighborhood/Community seemed friendly, we did not use all the amenities so I am unable to comment there. Had some late night giggling teenage cousins... never heard a complaint. I think sound doesn't carry so much off the property. The place was clean. Recommend bringing extra TP. Biggest issue was we had a few allergy sufferers and the fact that pets are allowed -- furniture could probably use a more deep clean every time as there are alot of pollinating trees in both the front and the back of the place. Maybe it's the time of year but it did limit our use of the outdoor space in the back. One thing I would hope changes the front door doesn't have a deadbolt or anything. We had a couple special needs children with us and one unexpected opened the front door. there's an alert you hear but its also easy to miss that too, wanted to be able to latch that at night. Finally, in general furnishing and appliances are from 10 years ago. The TVs are smart TVs but not 4k and we got an error a few times will operating them. You can't stream things from your device -- unless u bring ur own firestick or something like that. and the washer dryer and dishwasher can dominate any conversation in the living room. That said everything worked fine and we'd stay here again.

Family weekend

Overall a nice weekend. Some of the kitchen accessories (blender, hand mixer) no longer working and need to be replaced. Plenty of bedrooms but not much living space for 10 people. House & furniture showing some wear and tear.

The house was beautifully decorated yet cozy. Everything we needed. Neighborhood was extremely quiet as many of the homes were empty during our stay. It was like a retreat.

Great neighborhood

The neighborhood was beautiful. The pool was great. The house is a bit shabby - needs a lot of updating. All kitchen chairs need to be replaced. The sofas are quite worn. The downstairs master bed and bath reeked of cigar (or something) smoke. Kitchen needs way more eating utensils - and a can opener! Plenty of plates and bowls. Ice maker does not work. The screened porch was nice to have. Wifi was up and down. Upstairs master shower has mold. We'll try to find another house in the neighborhood next time.

Very disappointing

Our trip started with no code to enter the house. We had to call Vacasa and they couldn’t figure out how to generate a code. We had no internet for 2 days (placed multiple calls to Vacasa). Wasted my first day of vacation waiting for the repair man. The house is in very poor condition. The screen door was blown out on the porch (repaired later in the week), the kitchen counter is peeling, the ceiling is damaged and has tape holding it together, etc. The twin beds have terrible, thin mattresses. The TVs were spotty and had no instructions on how to use them, especially with no internet. We were really disappointed in the home, especially for the price.
