Quiet with great view and big deck. Only full size beds so a little small for couples. Bathrooms were stocked very well with everything full.Nice newer appliances and comfortable living room. We didn't use the downstairs.Plenty of room on the upper two floors.
It was a very relaxing and pleaseant stay. Proximity to the beach made it easy to go down and enjoy beachcombing and the view. It was close enough to Long Beach to go and enjoy the shops and eateries within minutes. The house was clean, quiet and very well stocked woth essentials. We would recommend this house, it was a very reasonable rate for the overall value!
We had a lovely time, plenty of space between the 3 floors and 3 bathrooms. Big enough for all of us 8 but still small enough to be cozy. Short walk to the beach on a great maintained trail.
Place was neat and clean. Somewhat musty when first entered. Solved by opening doors and windows. I have owned property on the beach before and have found this to be a common behavior. House is the only house on a gated lane. Lots of space!! Was very happy with being able to let the dog out, stay on the deck and not have to worry about disturbing the neighbors.
Three floors worth of house with the associated number of stairs. Beds were comfortable. View from the front room and deck were expansive. Very close to Long Beach and all it has to offer.
Will stay
Check in was great. Fireplace did not work and Vacasa manager came and inspected it and we did get a small refund on this as it never worked.
There were stains on the carpet, an orange slime mold in the upstairs shower. Some door handles to deck were loose and the deadbolt didn't work, downstairs door would not latch unless deadbolted from inside. There are some overall maintenance upkeep issues. I did notify the Vacasa manager who stated they would pass the issues on.
Overall loved the living room and view to the ocean, nice location. TINY one person kitchen. Limited towels in the bathrooms we were using, if we had all 8 been there like originally planned, we would have had to look for them in the basement laundry/bathroom.
Not a horrible stay, love the area, but won't use this home again.
The location was great, and views of the water were nice. The place is getting a little tired but worked well. We did have an issue with sugar ants, they were responsive to our concern but the place needs more than a couple of traps. the basement is musty.
The house is nicely situated with just a few hundred yards of dune grass before the beach. Kitchen and living room and balconies were great. We loved opening the windows to hear the waves. Upstairs queen bedroom had squirrels in the ceiling that were particularly active between 1am and 5am, so we didn't get much sleep, unfortunately. Basement has a laundry room bathroom and a family room with a second TV, however, it smells so bad down there that we didn't use it at all. We tried to use the washing machine to start washing sheets as we left, but when it just screeches very loudly and didn't do anything. Good thing we didnt need it for our own clothes. The refrigerator froze our fresh fruits, veggies, and eggs, but the temperature was locked, so we couldn't increase it. We have kids and found that there was a large bowl full of matches just sitting out near the floor in the basement family room - major fire hazard, which we moved up high. Oddly when we arrived we found both a key box and an electronic lock on the door. The key box had the combo lock numbers showing the number that was needed to enter the house lock. That left us feeling like anyone could have found that and had access while we were out during the day. Not very comforting! Property manager talked about a refund due to the squirrels every night, but haven't seen anything happening with that yet.
The proximity to the beach was perfect. This was a nice place to stay for teens through adults. I wouldn't recommend young kids staying here due to things like many match book collections in multiple rooms. Other than that, it was nice and roomy and loved hearing the sound of the ocean.
Nicely appointed property. Easy access. We LOVE the location. . .lots of space from other cottages, and not a bad walk to the beach. Needs property manager to do a go-through as chair in dining room is broken and could fall apart on someone, vents need cleaned. I found two vacuums, but if there were a broom and dust pan, it would make cleaning sand up in the entry much easier. Also, since no a/c, some fans for bedrooms would be helpful during the heat waves that do occur. Plenty of towels, and kitchen has about any tool you might need. Restaurants are within an easy drive.
They made me sign up to another vacation company while I already have VRBO account. Takes them weeks to respond to one single question. Very far from the beach..
So nice to find a property that is true to its listing. Loved the privacy most of all and, of course, the proximity to the beach. The home is nicely decorated and complete with absolutely everything you need. Just bring your food and clothing. Restaurants/grocers are just a mile or two away. . .perfect for nightly takeout. We already booked again for summer.
