Mar Vista- needs some TLC:(

We love Mar Vista but it could use some TLC and it’s not clean at all. Lots of huge cockroaches in dishwasher, bathroom, master BED..cleaning crew is not cleaning it very good. The views are great, but the house was a huge disappointment this time.

Location is Great!!!!!!!

We loved the location! Mar Vista was tucked away from the main road and very close to the water on a private beach. Easy to walk back up to the house to a snack or make a pit stop. Beautiful view!! Saw dolphins everyday and a couple of small sharks. Lots of Blue Crab. Beautiful! The best thing about this house is the location. We figured out quickly that the high rental price is for the location. The house is very big but was very ill equipped. Absolutely no organization in the kitchen. It was a hunt behind every cabinet door. But I could have lived with that until I saw the big cockroach in the silverware drawer. And we saw them in my grandsons room upstairs. That was on Sunday, so I called Vacasa first thing Monday morning and the pest control man came out and sprayed that day. I didn't see any more bugs. No frills at all in kitchen. I brought trash sacks, toilet paper and paper towels, coffee filters, dishwasher pods., etc I bought a couple dishrags to use on the counters. They only provide a small sponge and two cup towels. The linens are very basic. Thin white sheets and towels. I did ask for extra towels and Vacasa got another bag out to us that day. The beds were okay, again basic. Large bedrooms with two ocean front masters one up one down. The layout of the house is great for large families. Easily accommodates 10. And the deck is awesome but needs some attention. The house needs an upgrade and some repairs. However, we had a great time and Fort Morgan is so quiet and laid back which is what we like. Again, a renter cannot get a better spot on the beach that this was. Vacasa was very good about getting any complaints quickly taken care of. I also had to call about internet. A technician came out, but it was an area issue, not the house. We didn't have it for 4 days and then then it was sketchy. Wasn't a real issue for us as we all have hotspots. It seemed to me this house is just a rental from an agency. Not a home that someone loves and takes care of. This was at least our 25th year of renting condos or houses and most of them felt like home. This one is only seen by the cleaners and renters and has no character but it’s only for a week right? Our dates were 8-13-22 thru 8-20-22.

The house was a great location, well stocked, and very roomy for a family vacation. We would definitely recommend renting it

This House is False Advertisement!!!!!DO NOT RENT!!!DANGEROUS!!! The pictures are lies!!!

I would rate this house a negative but it did not give me the option. We were dissatisfied from the beginning. We arrived at the house at 4:00 to check in, as indicated by 4 emails received from Vacasa. We had to sit in the car until 5:15 because of cleaning issues. Upon entering the house it was not clean. The appliances and the dishes were not clean. The porches had food and trash on them. The porches and stairs are rotten all the way around the house. We had small children and this could really be a legal issue. The air conditioner is old and going out. The house would never cool off. The condensation runs under the house on the cement where you park your car, it was molded and very slippery. There were not curtains on most of the windows the sun made the house very hot. The blinds that were on the windows were old and did not work, mostly broken. The upstairs bathrooms were terrible. In the showers the plumbing was coming out of the walls. The lights were out in the shower stalls. The beds are terrible! We did not have the proper sheets for the king beds, we had to make due. I called Vacasa several times, they did send a nice handyman to screw all the loose boards, but this does not help they are rotten. The air conditioner man came and said there was not much he could do. I did talk to a supervisor at Vacasa, he was suppose to call me back. I requested to be moved and he never called me back . I can not express enough how what bad shape this house is in.
