This was a complete disaster of a trip. We entered an uncleaned house. There was panties between the dirty couch cushions, floor stains the size of melons, crumbs and food on the kitchen chairs and under the kitchen table. Coffee maker want cleaned out and had old grinds in it that stunk up the kitchen, the bed smelled so bad that I had to remove the covers and saw the pee stains. I guarantee I slept in old pee. I don't know why the house cleaners didn't see this unless they never removed the bedding from the previous renters, the couches are old and nasty to the point that the owner put plywood under the couches to reinforce them so people can sit on them. I can just go on forever and I take pictures
Valhalla is a home with so much unmet potential. The view is incredible. The deck is spacious. The home is also spacious. We settled on this home because as advertised it met our needs for pet free and a room at ground level. Our group has some folks with accessibility needs, We were hesitant after reading the reviews, many mentioned the broken deck chairs, broken,old and uncomfortable couches, questionable cleaning. These were in 2024 and we reassured ourselves that surely the property owner would have replaced these with usable furniture and cleaning update. NOPE. Stacks of shattered chairs were left on the side of the home for guests, all unusable and some even dangerous. A layer of dust remained on the linens on the bed, other surfaces wiped down around the furniture but thick layers in places where lamps and other items were not moved. The couches are stained and broken, a board sits underneath the cushions of both. We are good sports though and tried to make the best of it. Our second night we sat visiting and out of the corner of the room a large fat RODENT scrambled into view. The brave among us tried to corner him and in the process found the nest, INSIDE THE COUCH under the board we had been sitting on. We called VACASA and thankfully they were able to reaccomodate us.The home could really be something with some updates and maintenance. Hopefully the owner will make some changes with this place. if you book it, maybe dont unpack jic you have to move too.
We had an amazing time due to the location and the weather being nice enough for us to be outside.. The size and floor plan of the house was great but the house itself needs a LOT of work. The furniture is very old and pieced together.. there was mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers.. the wall vents are sharp and caked with dust, the bedding on some of the beds is torn, there are stains on the carpet, the main upstairs toilet is broken.. I had read previous reviews of all these things but had high hopes some updating and repairs had been done. No such luck. Would stay again IF these things were addressed, but canât recommend it in good conscious the way it is now.
Huge, older home with broad, expansive views of the beach and ocean. We loved hanging out in the living room and dining room playing games. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has many dishes, tools, pots and pans, but some of the pans should be thrown out (unusable) due to rust and flaking materials in the bottom. We knew not to expect the fireplace to work, but the property listed the sauna as an amenity, yet we were told it was inoperable. Communication with property management was frustrating we were expected to first troubleshoot the light in the sauna (that associate hadn't realized the sauna was inoperable), then given steps to unclog a sink (!!) when the water wouldnât go down. Shouldnât management be doing this rather than vacationers paying to rent a house? But again, the house itself was perfect for us. Weâll probably be back again, now knowing the standards and terms of renting. Also, I'm posting this two days after checking out and the property is still listed as having a sauna.
This house is perfect! Itâs a little dated and had some quirks (stuck sink drain, toilet issueâŠwhich we fixed, and a broken towel rod, the house was great!! I was a little afraid based on some other reviews, but man. It was great! A TRUE beach house!!! My only negative was there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we got there, which I am sure was an oversight. I plan to book this place for the event we were in town for this year for many years to come!!! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!!
Spent 3 amazing days here. Couldnât get any closer to the beach. Walked for hours upand down the beach in beautiful weather. The house was great. It had everything we needed. The two great decks provided great places to relax. Will happily stay here again.
