Great community, nice unit

Five stars all the way

We had a great stay. The home is wonderful and very clean. Spacious main dining/living room area. There were seven in our party but we didn't feel too cramped at all. The screened in porch was one of our favorite areas. Note that one of the four bedrooms has more of a trundle bed- not two seperate twin beds as seemed to be implied- but it worked for us. Most of the bedrooms had darkening shades. Their were plenty of extra blankets. Water pressure in the bathroom showers was great. Kitchen is small but sufficient- the appliances are newer and it was stocked with cookware. It also has some spices for cooking, and a Keurig (will have to bring your own k-cups). As for location, it is located in a very convenient area within Sea Colony. We visited in early October and discovered that the main outdoor heated pool, which also includes a splash pad area for the kids and a large hut tub, was still open. The fitness center is also nearby and has an indoor pool and hot tub as well. We checked out the tennis center and played some pickleball indoors (outdoor courts were unavailable because there was a tournament that weekend, but they looked very nice). Our only issue during our stay was the fireplace not working, but the team was responsive and sent someone out the next morning to fix this. The off season seems to be a good time to go- not crowded and we had great weather warm enough to even swim in the ocean. Overall we loved this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely off season get away

We checked out Ocean City and definitely Bethany Beach was the better option. The downtown area was shockingly open! The kitchen is stocked with cookware beautifully. Loved the bathrooms and the layout. There was so much space. The keyless entry is beautiful. Super convenient location! My only notes: -The wifi is pretty slow, so streaming is a bit choppy. -The pool doesn’t offer towel service and there aren’t pool towels at the house, so be prepared for that if you plan on using the pool. -There was only one kitchen towel, so use sparingly! Otherwise it was pretty dreamy!

Not really a beach house, ridiculous fees

This place would make a lovely apartment or condo in a major city, but in terms of a beach house it falls short. There is no grill, there is no supplied beach gear, you are not given access to a storage locker for your sandy stuff. There’s nowhere to shelter bikes or beach chairs or any of the stuff you associate with a beach vacation. It’s also a second and third floor unit so you have to haul everything up and down stairs every day. They spent a lot of money to make it look beautiful on the web, but it lacks a lot of the practical amenities you look for in a beach house. The check in system is a mess. They force you to go to a building about a mile from the house to get keys and badges. They also refused to share check in information until the morning of your arrival day. They charged us an unbelievable amount in fees for a one week stay. With fees that high you’d expect a luxury check in experience. Nope. Wait in line for your paperwork — they couldn’t possibly be bothered to put that stuff in the condo for you. Vacasa refused to detail these fees, and VRBO took a cut too. I asked repeatedly who I was booking with — Vacasa or VRBO. Apparently it was both since both charged absolutely insane booking fees. Yes — you will pay booking fees to both companies if you book a Vacasa property through VRBO. And both companies will refuse to give you details on what those fees are going towards unless you absolutely badger them. Even then it was still kind of vague. Sad to see so many Bethany places turn into this kind of anti-consumer corporate kind of thing. Build your fees into your nightly rates so that consumers can compare apples to apples. Don’t just spring them on them at the end of the process with no explanation. We will be looking for a better place to stay next year that doesn’t change so many ridiculous fees.

Great stay

We had a great stay here. The location is excellent and the house was very nice -- clean, comfortable, and updated. We really had a nice time and could easily have stayed longer and continued to enjoy ourselves. The customer service at Vacasa was also excellent. Highly recommended for families looking to get away.

Awesome Trip

Everything from start to finish was seamless the only reason I gave 4-stars was due to the email about check-in telling me to go across the street to another building when we easily found the Vacasa check-in building but didn’t know it!! Fix this very confusing bug and the whole process is super easy and perfect. Great trip, all had a wonderful time in this beautiful unit, lots to do, shuttles were fun and entertaining ... everything close by! Can’t wait to go back!!!
