Great home on the beach

Spacious home on the beach. Great for dolphin watching. We’ve stayed here many times before. Recommend upgrades for kitchen utensils and dark curtains/blinds for master bedroom.

USED to be a treasure; nice but overpriced today

I feel very sorry for the owners of this house; it obviously used to be a treasure but is being swallowed by the sea. I'm sure they are charging as much as they do because they had to pay a fortune for the sand and shoring that has recently been added under the house, and must continue trying to save it. That said, It is totally unfair to the renters to portray this house as it used to be instead of as it is. For close to $1000/night, people expect a bit more! Let me start with the dangerous bits: there is a wire mesh that has been added to the inside of the railing around the main floor deck. The wire has rusted through in a number of places leaving sharp bits of wire sticking into the deck area which is NOT good with a four year-old! Many of the balusters are not connected to anything at the bottom, and some are missing entirely, so the railing is completely unsafe. As noted in other reviews, the beach is gone behind the house but what's not noted is that the stairs to the beach have been removed and unsightly patches nailed over the former openings on the main floor deck. (BTW the upstairs deck is not screened in as it appears in the photos.) The beach that is left is covered in rocks and stumps and all of us left with cuts and scratches on our shins from bumping into the underwater ones. Also, the first step of the stairs in front of the house is broken but luckily it's very close to the sand. I could write at least a full page about the problems but I won't. The rest, like the Dollar General shower curtain and dribbling water-saver shower head (instead of the handheld that obviously used to be there) and non-functioning makeup mirror in the master bath, and the non-functioning ceiling fan in the master bedroom, the twin bed shown in the bunkroom being in the closet of the master bedroom, all of the cabinet fixtures being loose in the kitchen, the dirty walls, the worn-out furniture, the lack of lights and outdoor shower under the house, etc., are not major things but not things one expects in this price range. I give this house two stars instead of one because it is in a wonderful location and spacious. Even with all of the problems, after the initial disappointment our family enjoyed the week and being together in one place. If you are the owner reading this, I would love to talk to you about your house. I hated writing this but renters need to know.

Island Sunrise

The pictures need to be updated for this home. There are definitely some changes since these were taken. The swing is gone. The water comes up to the house now so there is not much of a beach area. Luckily we had a very sweet neighbor that said we could use their beach area since we didn’t have much. The house needs a good deep cleaning and some updating. We ran into a few problems during our stay but Vacasa took care of us. We made the best of it and enjoyed our stay though.
