Nice place, nice location, needs more care and attention when cleaned

The seashell cottage was a nice little place in a great location. It could easily earn 5 stars if there was more care and attention to cleaning the indoors and the exterior of the property such as the outdoor shower.

Pros: The house is a nice house. This is our second summer staying there. Nice quiet neighborhood and good for young kids and a pet. Also a short bike or drive to the beach.Cons: the electrical arrangement is confusing. And there were ants that had been identified by the people who stayed the week before and were still there in force in the kitchen.

Great neighborhood

Quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. The house is very comfortable. We appreciated the assortment of beach chairs in the shed. The house was mostly clean, but could use a good dusting. The house is a 1-mile walk to the beach. We didn't mind the exercise, but there was plenty of parking at the beach for days we didn't want to walk.

Nice stay

The house was nice. Neighbor quiet. It was nice there is a small park across the street for the dog. Had everything I need in the house. It was nice I did not have to bring my own sheets and towels. They were supplied to us. The beach is a short drive up the street, maybe a minute or two and there was plenty of parking. I would stay here again if I go down to ocean city again.

Seashell Cottage

My wife & I were disappointed with the rental. It was quite dirty and many things were in disrepair. The sofas in the living room were so old it was like sitting on the floor. There was a lot of dust and lint buildup around ceiling kitchen light and living room light fixtures and ceiling heat registers and exhaust fans, it was quite gross to look at. Whoever is doing the cleaning and repairs are doing a very poor job.

Sea shell cottage

The sea Shell cottage was not what we saw pictured in the listing. The house is dark, musty, and items such as chairs and fans were unusable. My elderly father fell while sitting down at the very tight dining area in one of the rickety dining chairs. We woke to an ant infestation on the kitchen counter on the second morning and lost a few of our opened perishables such as donuts and chips that were sealed by chip clips. All in all because we were so appreciative of bringing our dogs and having the park across the street I had to apologize profusely to my family for not booking what was Solon the listing.

Seashell Cottage

Upon arrival which was after 4pm the house had not been cleaned, this caused us to have to reach out to get the place cleaned and delayed our occupancy. The property was not very clean at all. there was an ant problem in the kitchen. the kitchen was not very well equipped lacking in matching dishes, cups, etc. we ended up using paper plates and plastic cups. the cabinets had tomato sauce stains above the stove. The house had a lot of "clutter". The yard and deck were not very well kept. Overall this property was very disappointing . We have rental several properties with VRBO and this by far was our worse experience. As a result the property was overpriced for the value received.

Unhappy we chose Vasaca, would never rent from this company again.

The inside of the cottage was fair, there were broken door knobs, and the fridge and stove were dirty; the outside of the place was not maintained at all. There was overflowing garbage from the last renter basting in the heat, and flies and ants were everywhere. You couldn't go in or out of the property without flies and bugs coming in. Every time we called Vascasa, I had to re-tell the whole story, and we lived with the stinky garbage at the entrance of our door for the entire length of our stay. No one cared about it or did anything about it. It was poor communication. I would never trust Vasaca again. In addition, the property had cobwebs and dried-up plants; you couldn't use the outside patio, it was so dirty, or the backyard, which was so overgrown with weeds and dirty plants.

Loved the Seashell Cottage

Third stay at Seashell Cottage! This time brought our own bikes and found it convenient to ride out to Lighthouse Road, then inland to Highway 20 and north to Parsons Farm’s really nice produce stand for a fruit stop and back. 24 miles RT on roads with mostly wide shoulders. Also convenient enough to beach, with a nice park across the street for walking the dog. Quiet neighborhood offers a respite from OC’s hectic Coastal Highway.

Great location but house is VERY In need of repairs

Upon first arriving my toddler leaned against the wooden railing at the top of the stairs next to the door and it started swaying. We immediately made a “no learning in the banister” rule in fear of it breaking. After we got the key to enter the home, the handle of the storm door came off. Once we figured out how to open the storm door we were greeting with a seemingly clean little cottage. We started to unpack and it seemed like each room we went into there were more broken things that needed repairs. The wood panel above the cabinet under the sink was just leaning against the cabinetry. The screen door for the inside pantry was broken with the screen half pushed through. There was a broken strip of wood on the corner of the hallway that my husband had to fix so it wouldn’t be dangerous for our children. The strip of floor trim in the entrance of the room with the two beds kept coming up causing everyone to trip. I immediately called the company who manages the property and they said they would send someone out. We never saw anyone. I did receive a notification that someone was there and the door was fixed. The next day my husband and I were loading the car for the beach and the handle came off again. This time we struggled to get it back on and my child was on the other side of the door crying. I sent a picture of the ordeal to management and they just said “sorry you’re experiencing this” The bathroom doors do not lock (not ideal with two families staying in one home) the master bathroom door doesn’t close all the way. My family and I stay at rentals several times a year and this is the first poor review I am leaving. The management company does not care how your stay is and while they give you a number to reach out 24/7 there is little follow up about repairs and concerns.
