We enjoyed our stay, but it could have been better. The Bad: The front entrance and backyard were dirty (a lot of sand in backyard and sticky spots on the entrance tiles). We had to hose down a suspicious sticky mess by the trash cans that was really gross. If you are a super tidy person, bring all your own cleaning supplies. I like to keep my area clean, but all the cleaning supplies must have been locked away. I understand locking away some cleaning supplies, but not all. Some basic supplies should be provided. We purchased a broom, sanitizing wipes, cleaning spray, and hand soap for the master bathroom. Also, cooking utensils were extremely basic (two pots, two pans, ONE knife). We purchased a baking sheet, cutting knives, potato peeler, potato masher, and a can opener. If more than 1 person wants to drink coffee, bring your own mugs, as there was only one mug for the household. There were glasses, but we had to decide to burn our hands or drink cool coffee when using them. Lastly, 7 people had to share one key for this home over 5 days. The manager said he would bring us a second key, but he must have forgot. Side note: This home came with dishwashing pods, but did not have a dishwasher. All dishes had to be washed by hand and there was not a dish rack to dry them. We just placed them on a towel. This is not a big deal if you're not paying a high premium for a nice modern house.The Good: Vacasa Management was very responsive. They got the electrical company to our property very promptly after we told them that the electric pole in the backyard was spraying sparks on the property. The electrical company did a quick repair and we felt safe swimming again. The master bedroom/bathroom was huge. The location was perfect, easy walk to grocery store and beach.
This house is beautiful, but could use a few touches here and there. For example, there aren't any rugs or mats near entrance or back door. We laid down a towel to keep people from slipping at the backdoor after swimming. Just little details here and there would make this place great, or a 5.
