Very good

Everything was great but there was a problem with carpet in downstairs bedroom - some dark spots that were a bit concerning. Carpet had been cleaned before we arrived, but spots were still there. We were a bit concerned it might be some kind of mold but property mgt indicated it was not. Beyond that, we loved the place
The property was close to restaurants, beach, and shops making it very convenient. Love the size and # of bedrooms to accommodate our group of 10 business associates.

Thanks for the wonderful review and glad you enjoyed your stay!
Perfect location and accommodations and very responsive on the part of VBRO to our requests. I would add one item to the website and that would be an accurate floor plan. Wonderful vacation home!

House needs major work.
House had parts that weren't accessible, so we could go to roof top balcanoy.
House is need of major repairs.
House had 4 rolls of toilet paper for 20 people that stayed 1 week.
The wrist bands provided by agency for beach were terrible. They broke and we were charged $150 for each new band needed.
This is a beach house that had no beach towels so we had to go to a store to buy some for 20 people.

Thank you for your feedback. The wrist bands are provided through the town of Seaside, and luckily have changed to electronic bands to enter the beach. Seaside does charge $150 for lost or stolen bands. The home is undergoing some current work and the roof top will hopefully be ready again soon. So sorry this was closed during your stay!
We had a fantastic time at this home. It's location is frankly incredible - you can walk across the street and you are in the heart of Seaside, and it's maybe 250 yards from the beach. And it's huge - so many rooms, great living room, fun game room, and huge porches. I would happily recommend the home anytime. The property manager was great as well - made check-in easy and got back to us when we had questions really quickly. Our only negatives at all were small, and probably easily fixable before the next tenant arrives. One was no pantry space at all - the one cabinet to store food was locked by the owner, so we just had to keep all the (non-refrigerated) food on the countertops. The other was that it seemed like the cleaning crew had swept sand from prior guests underneath the rug in the main room. We had to pull it up and sweep it ourselves. None of that was a big deal at all, we LOVED the place and had a fantastic time, but was just sort of weird. We'd happily come back.

Thank you for your review. We will take up the sand issue under the rug with housekeeping asap. We will also see if we can clear some more space in the kitchen for groceries. Come back again soon!
This house was perfect for our group of 10 adults and 7 kids. We liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom, and the suite on the third floor for the kids had a small living area where they could hang out. It’s just a few steps from downtown seaside and close to the East Ruskin pavilion for beach access.
We had an issue with the AC, but the management company was quick to fix it.
The house could definitely use some updates, such as new carpet, etc., there were a couple small issues with water leaking in through a door and through one of the fire sprinklers on the ceiling, and more storage in the bedrooms would be nice. The dishwasher was a little difficult to work, the dryer sometimes requires a couple cycles to get towels dried, and the railing on the roof was a little unsturdy. We notified management of those items, so hopefully they will be addressed.
Overall, we really enjoyed staying here and plan to book it again next year. I would definitely recommend this house for large groups.

Thank you for your review! We have blocked off the roof to repair the loose railings and will look into some of your other suggestions as well. We are glad you enjoyed the stay and look forward to seeing you next time!
While as noted, some of the property is under repair, big steps have been taken to make this a great property. We hit a snag when we checked in, but the property manager found a solution very quickly. Any small issues we had through the week were addressed within the hour or so. With the size and location, this is a unique property that can fill a lot of needs. We hope to be back!

Great location. Old house in need of a lot of repairs and TLC.
The best part of this house was the location. The kitchen sink was cracked, the chandelier hadn’t been cleaned in a VERY long time, the widows walk railings and back stairway were weak and unsafe. There was water damage on the ceiling and wall in the kitchen. We had to ask for silverware as we only had 8 forks, no spoons except serving and the house was full of cockroaches. For what we paid for the house for one week we feel very cheated. Very subpar.
