Pros:
Views of Carmel, Point Lobos, and the sunset west of Big Sur are awesome – this made the visit
Home was spacious and well appointed for our group of 6, 8 people would be comfortable, but maybe a little tight on living room seating
Everyone slept well in comfortable beds
Kitchen was spacious and good for socializing
Cons:
MICE! In the kitchen, being trapped while we entered the property – NO WARNING from the agent
We found mice poop on entering the property and a dead mouse with all the guts squished in a trap that fell out of the cabinet as we reached for a pan
- We were refunded ½ a night stay for this by Vacasa which didn’t quite seem like enough for the anxiety
- We had to call 3x to have someone respond to this and tell us where the traps were for safety
Patio table shattered – we were called the morning of check in to let us know, no replacement offered, which we asked for or for a board to set on the table we could cover with a table cloth
- There were still glass shards on the patio, my son stepped on one in bare feet but luckily didn’t get cut
- Vacasa refunded a whopping $20 a day for our inconvenience, but never tried to replace or substitute
- It’s a shame, as the patio would have been much more enjoyable with a table
