Beautiful house!

We had a fantastic girls weekend at this property. This is truly a beautiful home with so many gathering spaces. Just note that the kitchen isn't very well stocked with basics so be sure to bring any cooking seasoning/oils etc with you. Also, the property does not include beach towels so bring your own!

Very Nice Stay (despite pool issue)

Beautiful home with the all the amenities to make your stay nice! The only issue we had was the pool was unusable for 25% of our stay due to issues with the previous renters’ misuse. However, the fact that this main feature wasn’t able was a big blow to our spirits.

Beware: Owned by Vacasa, Pool & Hot Tub Unusable

Expect the pool and hot tub to be disgustingly dirty and unusable because that's the level of cleanliness the hosts think is OK and if any other issues come up you will not get a response from the "local team" that can help fix problems for at least 3 days after constantly calling/texting for help. This property is also owned managed “Vacasa” which means VRBO has ZERO power to resolve issues and relies on the Vacasa management company which also has ZERO power over their hosts so if any issues come up it’s up to the host, 3 levels removed from VRBO, to right any wrongs and with this property they did not respond for 3 days and ultimately said the issues we encountered weren’t issues at all. I opened multiple cases with both VRBO and Vacasa to resolve the issue without luck. Within a few hours of checking-in we realized the pool was cold (~70 degrees) and extremely full of leaves/bugs/dirt to the point it would have been gross to swim in. The hot tub water was about 8"-10" too low and was full of scum. It looks like the filter stopped working so it had a nasty film on top of the water and appeared to have extreme calcification similar to a humidifier... regardless of what the film/scum was, there is no way anyone would want to set foot in it. The rest of the property was fine, the interior only had minor issues like unset clocks, food on the floor by the couch, and the “screened-in” porch is more of a dirty outdoor space with screens loosely hanging so it is not bug proof.

Perfect for a Girls Weekend

The house was amazing. We loved the different sitting areas, the pool, the landscaping. There were 7 of us there for a girls' weekend and we didn't leave the house. The house was very clean and well decorated. We loved having the Echo Dots around the house and pool for music. We would definitely book this house again!
