Let me tell you all the good stuff - To start, booking was super easy. Communication from Vacasa was great from beginning to end - confirmation, booking details, check-in texts, and they quickly responded to a doorbell issue when we arrived. The community is about 4 miles from the center of SGI - grocery, restaurants, etc. It is gated and has a great pool area. There is a tennis court with pickle ball lines and basketball goal directly across from the house. The house is the last house before the park. Great view of the bay from the front balconies and the beach is right off of the back balconies. On the ground floor, there is ample parking, the extra refrigerator and commercial ice machine (in closet off screened in porch) came in handy, and the bathroom, shower, and wash station on the back deck were fantastic. The highlight of the first floor is kitchen for sure - great cookware, plenty of dishes and utensils, and spices and oils available - this is not typical of a rental unit. Last but not least, the bedrooms upstairs. They were all comfortable and had connecting bathrooms with the exception of the bunk room. The master bath and balcony are incredible! The beach is not crowded and this is the last house before the state park. There won't be anyone on the beach to your left for at least half a mile.
One comment and one disclosure - (1) Comment - the bunks are great, but they are really high off of the ground. There is a ladder which you climb up through a cut out in the bunk floor then that opens up to a twin and full bed. My 8 and 9 year old boys loved it, but this could be an issue with smaller kids. (2) Disclosure - we did not use the elevator, did not even try.
This house is fantastic all the way around. I hope we get a chance to visit again soon!
