Great location

We definitely loved having a private pool and hot tub. The house is close enough to the beach that we sometimes walked. The sunset is spectacular from the end of the road. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the sunset colors change in the evenings. Great location. Felt safe in the neighborhood.

Pleasantly surprised!

The house was beautiful, the view to the bay was spectacular! The house was clean upon arrival. The only suggestions are to take kitchen necessities such as pot holders, baking sheets, etc. They did provide travel soaps in each bathroom and several towels.

Family vacation

Our overall impression of the property was good. The house was beautiful and our family really enjoyed themselves! A few things that would have been beneficial would be to have more than just two large trash bags provided and dishwasher pods. These two items were not sufficient for a family of eight. We will definitely book again!

Understocked kitchen

I would rate this home 5 stars if the kitchen would have been better stocked with the proper pots and pans and mixing bowls. It's difficult to cook a meal for 9 people when you don't even have a metal baking sheet in the kitchen. The house itself is great and spacious. There is a wonderful deck off the kitchen that looks out to the bay. It's a good set up for a large group. The downstairs has 2 bedrooms which the kids can hang out and be loud without disturbing the adult rooms upstairs. The hot tub was a hit since the weather was chilly during spring break. The master bedroom has a huge closet that was amazing for storing away coolers, suite cases, etc.

Nice home - listing is accurate

We stayed over NYE weekend. The home is nice and spacious. The heated pool was a big hit for the kids and the hot tub was an adult fav. The property management was excellent and super responsive. The master bath has a bidet which is very accessory. Definitely would stay again!

Can’t wait to come back ⭐️

Loved everything, especially the private pool. This home has lots of room for personal space yet cozy enough for family bonding. Vacasa responded immediately to our concerns (pool was cleaned within a couple hours), the trash bins were full when we arrived but we were informed that the dump trucks weren’t working for pick up. Our only small concern is that the ice maker didn’t work and the refrigerator cooled minimally. Overall, this home and vacation was worthy of 5 stars. We’re looking forward to our next trip back ar Gardenia house 🌸

Great property with amazing Bay view

Nice relaxing property with a beautiful bay view. Calm neighbors. The rooms were clean and there were a lot of pool toys available for use. The pool is heated and hot tub was the perfect hot temperature. Big kitchen with a lot of utensils and kitchenware to use. The master bedroom has a beautiful deck with pool view. The secondary bedrooms didnt cool as much as the master bedroom. But all in all, great place to spend with family. Will be staying again!

Good location, nice clean home, bring your essentials

The home was clean and spacious for our family. There were things that were different for this rental that we thought were standard. The toilet paper rolls were limited, so were the paper towels and trash bags. No coffee filters, coffee or sugar. Those are things I’ve seen as standard at other homes, so this was different. I never communicated with owner which is different with Vacasa. I did find the rental in the VRBO site, so this was unexpected. The check in time was at 4 and the checkout was at 10 am, so we paid 60 to extend out check out to 2pm. Other times we’ve checked in at noon and out at 11. There were no instructions in the home of how to control lights outdoors or the pool, hot tub. The net for cleaning the pool was torn and needs to be replaced. The grill had the barrel rusted out, so use the gas one only. These things did not impact our stay and we enjoyed every bit of it, just things to note so you plan your stay. Clean beautiful home!
