Liars!
To summarize, the hot tub doesn’t work, the stove smoked when we used it so we had to turn it off, the house was DIRTY when we checked in, the blinds were broken, and the ring doorbell camera is pointed at the hot tub (which would be more problematic if it worked). I was told by Vacasa that I would get a partial refund of $200, but now they are ghosting me and no refund has been credited. Renter beware!!!

Okay but room for improvement
The house was very cute, well decorated and very clean. I honestly believe a few minor fixes would make this a place I’d stay again! It’s in a somewhat rough location but that’s the majority of the area. I didnt necessarily feel unsafe, however there was no window covering on the front door so anyone on the street could see straight in - and with the houses packed so tightly together i felt watched. And on the back door it’s so sheer that the light from one of the neighbors storage units shines straight on to the bed. It left me with a migraine after the first night and kept me up tossing and turning the entire trip. It’s also a fairly loud neighborhood so noise cancelling and light blocking window coverings would do wonders for this place. As far as feeling watched the hot tub is directly in front of the back door ring camera. I covered It while i was out there because it made me feel uncomfortable. I understand for the property owners why it’s there obviously but something to note as it’s awkwardly close. Checkout instructions weren’t clear - i feel They should have texted them as they texted other notices. So many that i didnt check the last one that had you click to officially check out. While i was gone by 9 i didnt check that text until 11. I didnt know where to put the trash and didn’t see instructions for it (maybe they’re there but i didnt see them). Don’t bet on the washer / dryer working fast at all. I chose the quick cycle and it was 3 hours long to wash. 4 hours to dry. I found out on the last day there was another shorter setting but I assumed “quick” would’ve been the shortest one. Instructions here would be nice. Also should you use it plan to leave as it’s incredibly loud and shakes the entire house - still nice that it’s available! The back yard isn’t entirely dog friendly as there is a large gap at the back of the fence that small dogs could easily fit through. This is really only dog friendly for larger dogs. The final issue is the largest one for me and it’s that there is only a keurig machine (or as I call it dirty water machine). In my opinion, if you’re going to provide an obscure coffee machine you should also provide a few pods for the guests but honestly i think purchasing even a cheap coffee maker would be helpful. I know if my mother had rented a home like this she would look at the machine like it was a space ship. Having to wake up and go fetch coffee is not ideal for what is meant to be a relaxing vacation.

Not as advertised
So on arrival we noticed things weren’t as clean as they should be, parking barely fits one car. You can see right through the entire home due to only having indoor/ out door blinds.. the hot tub was completely disgusting and green. Smelled like mildew and wasn’t even plugged in. Communication with staff trying to get someone out was ridiculous and took 18 hrs for someone to show up un announced . I drained and cleaned the hot tub myself. But it never even heated up fast enough for us to use. Neighbors window stay open and have zero privacy including that owner has a ring camera on the back door looking right at the hot tub. Wouldn’t book this house ever again. Absolute Waste of money.

Super cute
Cottage was decorated nicely and had all the essentials in the home. Hot tub was wonderful the second night after water warmed up. Absolutely would stay here again.
