Fabulous house and neighborhood

This is our preferred house to rent at the beach, the layout is perfect for family gatherings as the inside and outside provide lots of space for adults to sit or for children to play in the grass or on the deck. Neighborhood amenities have something for everyone!

Great vacation home!

This house with the neighborhood amenities was perfect for our multigenerational group. There was plenty of space inside and out for everyone to be together or do things on their own. We took advantage of the pools, lighted tennis courts, gym and walking trails. Grocery stores and the beach were short drives. Lots of options with this house.

Beautiful, peaceful place to stay for my family of 5. Plenty of space for everyone to rest and relax. It’s close to Bethany Boardwalk, easy to travel from, and in an area where you can come back from a busy hot day at the beach and just chill.

Great week near the beach

We had a great time staying on Oyster Catcher. Great community amenities (my kids love the pool!). Easy drive to the beach. Nice, quiet area to relax. The house was spacious and comfortable and we had everything we needed for the week. Would definitely return.

Just perfect

Neighborhood, furniture, working TVs, fully equipped kitchen, cleanliness, sheets and towels, caring owner who thoughtfully provided a fruit basket. Vacasa easy to deal with. Unfortunately weather was atrocious most times over two weeks, but we booked again for September.

Fantastic winter getaway

The house is beautiful! The upstairs tv/game room was fantastic for our kids to hangout. The fridge is huge for weekly groceries, keurig for fresh coffee and master bed was most comfy bed we have ever had at a rental. Playground near the clubhouse was perfect for our toddlers to burn energy. Grill worked perfect for family dinner. Neighborhood is very quiet which added to our week of relaxation. We will definitely will return next winter. Cons- no snow shovel. we got hit twice and were not able to shovel the driveway or shovel like the neighbors. We do not have tivo experience so a quick how to on the tvs would be a great add to the welcome book. Unless you need the garage remote or access to the gym key do not waste your time going to Vacasa to check-in.

great stay.

The property is well maintained and met all our needs for our stay. Well appointed with the deck and porch being very nice additions. However, a few negatives; the cleaning service was still working until 5:15, I am not a fan of driving into town to pick up the information packet and passes nor having to return the FOB. It does add to the overall trip time. It is nice to be able to use the pool to kill time before checking into the rental unit.

Beautiful home, wonderful amenities

There’s a lot to love about this property. It’s tastefully furnished and well-maintained. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and the host even provided a few extra items in a lovely welcome basket. Beyond the home itself is a quiet neighborhood with all the amenities you could want - walking trails, multiple pools, playground, game room, and more. It was a wonderful choice for our family and made us want to return.

The house and neighborhood were beautiful! Didn’t mind the 15 minute drive to the beach and enjoyed using the pool during times that weren’t too busy. House is spacious and very well stocked with necessities. Neighborhood is quiet, beautiful, great for walking and biking. Great stay!

Excellent, wonderful vacation home

My wife and I stayed at this fabulous rental the first week of June with our two children. The owner was very kind and the house was well equipped with every amenity and all necessities. This is a clean, comfortable and beautiful house with plenty of space. The community is quiet, friendly, clean and safe and has a lot to offer - the pools are great. Excellent rental - we would definitely stay here again!
