Comfortable and affordable

Lots of room. We stayed here with our family of 6 for 4 days. Loved having separate & communal areas to gather in. Several bunnies in the neighborhood were fun to watch. It's a bit loud outside with airplanes, boat/car motors and trains, but it's background noise. We enjoyed walking in the grass around the house and watching the sunset every evening.

Mediocre weekend getaway

The house and property itself was nice. I liked the open floor plan and lots of space outside with neighbors spread out. However, there were a few things that made this trip less than perfect. Firstly- and this bothered me the most, the kitchen had a horrible ant problem. Multiple times every single day there would be ants swarming all counter tops, even with no food out and clean countertops. To make this matter worse, we were only left with 1.5 paper towel rolls, which we used very quickly having to constantly kill ants and clean the countertops all weekend. Also, after our stay, I just went and read reviews on the property and a number of people complained about the ants over a year ago and multiple vascasa members replied saying the house has been exterminated, and that is just not true. There was no actual household cleaning supplies, only a very very small amount of dish soap. The handle on some of the frying pans in the kitchen were broken, there wasn’t a spatula, or anything really to cook with (there was only garlic powder and a very small amount of pepper). We were left with only one extra trash bag (we were there for 3 nights), and all 3 of the trash containers outside were full to the brim upon our arrival, leaving us with no room to dispose our trash. One of the bed frames in one of the smaller rooms was completely broken, and in the master bathroom, the pan (floor) of the shower was cracked in two places which didn’t feel safe when showering.

Great place, inside of house feels new and spacious!

Lots of parking, lots of giant wild bunnies just chilling in the grass, fairly private spot, house quality inside is excellent, much bigger inside than it looks from outside.

Nice property, needs some minor details fixed.

Overall our stay was very nice. The house was clean and roomy. We were unable to find any paper towels or trash bags. There was no trash bag in the can when we arrived and none to be found to put in the can. The toilets are very short and shallow and like another reviewer, my husband had some issues with that. Love the bunnies!
