Beautiful place to stay

We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood was quiet the house was right next to the beach. The only problems we had the toaster,can opener, and dishwasher did not work. Plus the house was infested with flees. Other than that. We had a wonderful stay.

Excellent place to stay at Point Bolivar

We were looking for a place to stay at Point Bolivar that was quiet, comfortable, and accessible to the area. This location met all of those. I will add that there was plenty of parking, easy to get in and out of, AC worked GREAT, and the location itself was quite comfortable and accommodating. The only caveat was that, although within SIGHT of the beach/ocean, due to access restrictions, there was no direct access (we had rented a golf cart hoping to go to the beach from our location). We were able to simply drive to the beach a short ways away, so this was not a showstopper. Check in was the easiest as was the checkout (no big list of "chores" to do... leave that to the cleaning crew we paid for!). We would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Great house

We loved our stay at Beachslapped. My only concern was the pots and pans were in bad shape. I had to go buy foil and place over the cookie sheets to be able to cook on them. Just my opinion but for the money we pay to use this house for a week, there can be some nicer kitchen things. Everything else was fabulous. The location was great, just a small walk to the beach, and only a few minutes from the grocery store. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great Location

The house was clean and ready upon arrival. Great location near the beach and several local stores. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. Master bedroom was very spacious and had plenty of room. The only minor issue was actually getting into the house on the first day. The keypad on the front door was broken so we were directed to a lockbox but our check-in instructions did not have a code to the lockbox. After contacting Vacasa support we were able to get the lockbox code, however the lockbox was empty! The local team was great and showed up shortly with a key. In all, we had about a 45 minute delay in getting into the house.

Best Vacation to date

House was really best part of whole vacation. From the outdoor showers and rinse station to barbqueing on the grill to just sitting on the wrap around huge deck. Completely furnished with anything you could possibly need all the way down to coozies for your drinks. Well decorated extremely up to date beautiful home. No problems whatsoever ever. Well one little one but not worth bickering over. The remotes for the satellite dishes didnt work. Any of them. So when it was time to turn down for the night and just watch TV you hand to spend a half hour at the boxes manually changing the channels until you found what you wanted. Other than that just truly phenomenal.

Much needed vacation!

The house was perfect for us. We had 5 adults and 4 kids. There was plenty of room. It had a nice kitchen and the deck was super relaxing to hang out on. It was also a quick walk to the beach.

Cleaning company needs to do better

The house was not cleaned. Food was left in a grill, in a blender, and on countertops. Fake nails were left on a nightstand and beer cans were scattered in the yard and even under a bed. Not impressed. Vacasa was rude, had to argue and get management involved to be promised a refund that I have yet to see

Perfect getaway! ❤️

This house is clean and COMFY!! The outdoor space is to die for! No plastic chairs, all high end furniture! It is very large and easily. accommodated all of our big group. NICE big kitchen and open floor plan. The beds were comfy and we all slept well. It was perfectly close to the big grocery store and liquor store and just a short 2 minute walk to the beach. It is close enough to the beach to hear the waves, but far enough not to hear all the traffic/noise on the beach. We loved it!

Great Home Away from Home

Booking this Vacasa property is easy & organized. Once there we noticed one of the outside water spickets wasn't working. We called Vacasa on a Sunday & they sent someone out right away. Overall the listing is accurate. The inside of the house needs a little attention. Some of the blind cords are broken; the dishwasher door is very tricky to close; the washer (a front loader) seal is moldy (the washer works just fine & we know that it is very hard to keep these seals clean); the kitchen utensils & knives are very cheap--we bought a new slotted spoon & a sharpening stone while we were there; there were no dish cloths--we bought some new ones for the house; there were only 6 bath towels, 2 hand towels & 4 wash cloths--(we had 4 people staying at the house & we did laundry); one of the deck chairs is rickety & one is broken. Overall, the house is great. The location is very convenient to the beach & in a good neighborhood. The beach is 300ish steps away from the driveway. There is an established walking path from the end of the street through the dune to the beach. Walks on the beach are easy with this access. The access by vehicle is the next street over. If a renter is not driving a car on the beach, rent a golf cart. The drive from the house to the beach by golf cart is just 3-5 minutes. The golf cart is the way to go especially if you are spending long days at the beach and/or you have kids. The minor things in the house mentioned above should not be game changers for renters & I hope these items can be attended to. Have fun at this awesome beach!
