Dog-friendly beachfront home with beach access, ocean views

With this property, you’re definitely paying for the beach view and access- definitely not the house. We were extremely disappointed with the cleanliness, quality of the furniture, technology, and WiFi. When you come in, the first thing you notice is the amazing view of the ocean, but once you start looking around you quickly realize the quality of the house is just not up to par with other rentals.

Great place! Right on the beach! My family and I loved it!

The key pad to get into the door did not work and that was a little stressful. Vacasa agents were helpful and there was a lockbox key available. The house was not as equipped with basic essentials as we are used to like salt and pepper, a strainer, coffee filters, cooking oil, sugar, a roll of paper towels, basic cleaning supplies, menus, notes about the house, or where to find things in the area are a few items we would expect. The location is unbeatable but a few small gestures to make your guests feel welcome would go a long way. We had an amazing time and all in all enjoyed our stay it just took more time to settle in than were used to.

This house should not be on the rental market. It is unsafe, unsanitary, and misleadingly advertised. The couch was filthy and collapsing, a chair had been nailed back together, and most furniture was damaged or broken. The windows were fogged with broken seals, and the sliding door was so packed with dirt it was dangerous to open. The dining table was not as pictured—scraped, dirty, and missing cushions. There was no working dining room light, and the only nearby fixture flickered so badly we had to remove the bulb for our epileptic son’s safety. The kitchen was severely understocked. The cookware was burned and unusable, the silverware dollar-store quality, the refrigerator rusty and missing door shelves. Mold was growing behind the sink, and the A/C vents were filled with dust and black mold. The A/C barely cooled during the day. The bedding was stained with what appeared to be bodily fluids. After complaining, Vacasa dropped off cheap “bed-in-a-bag” sets and expected us to wash them. Closets and dressers reeked of mold. One blind had a 4-inch hole facing a public access point—took 3 days to replace. Both showers had black mold. The basement reeked of mildew and mold was visible on the walls. Under the house, insulation was hanging and the subfloor was falling apart. One ceiling fan shattered when we tried to adjust it. Carpets were filthy. Lighting was terrible. Screens were broken, windows taped shut, and many features were unsafe. This house is misleadingly advertised and poses health and safety risks. Do not rent this property. Vacasa should be ashamed to manage it.

Overall we LOVED our stay here! The location is absolutely amazing! The only “complaint”we have is the living room seating is not verycomfortable. The house was pretty clean but theappliances getting updated would be a nice addition! The updates that have been done are stunning! This is a beautiful spot and an adorable cottage!

Based on previous reviews, we were pleasantly surprised! Excellent location beachfront, privacy, and lovely home.

Ocean Green has a phenomenal view and secluded location with no neighbors

House has great views of the beach sits as close to the ocean as you possibly can get.The living room is uncomfortable the couch is terrible no back or head support no recliner or comfortable chairs to sit in not enough sitting.One bed about to fall apart

Accommodations somewhat “rustic”.

Ocean Green is a comfortable cottage. The location is as perfect as you will find. The few steps to the beach is amazing. The house is a bit outdated with the need for updates, however our family will definitely being staying here again.

Location was excellent, house was a little run down, but serviceable. I would rent this house again.

This was the third or fourth time at this property and each time we could see a gradual deterioration of this home. Why do I go back? Because the owner allows us to take our 3 dogs which I greatly appreciate and the location is the best. It saddens me because this home has so much potential and it just needs some TLC.

This place needs to be remodeled from the inside out. It is obvious that they have let the property and amenities become too much to upkeep. I do not recommend this property for your family vacation. The furniture is not comfortable and some not functional/broken, the WiFi is very spotty, it smells musty, the kitchen cabinet doors are barely functional and you cannot escape the sand. How is this an allowed property rental?? Vacasa should do better. Extremely disappointed!

Location was perfect and the view was to die for to wake up every morning and walk out on the porch and look right at the ocean was amazing but the house was not that Great the wall paper was falling off and the house was not clean when we had arrived the WiFi never worked because they gave us the wrong info to began with and we could not get access the laundry room for a day and a half because was wedged shut then once you get to the dry it is in a terrible location you can barely open the door to get clothes out

Nothing but the view, the home itself is very run down and neglected.

11 yr Top Sail ocean front veteran here. Other than the ocean access this place is not worth it! House is for sale and it’s apparent they are selling as is… not worth the price point!

The location was fabulous but our house wasn't ready to checkin and we were already there and had to wait till 4:30 then the keypad entry would not work and there was no keys in the lockboxes they sent a local rep and he said he'd send a locksmith and someone with a key locksmith never showed the entire week the bed was so uncomfortable I woke every morning with my back aching and the sofa was uncomfortable if those few things were fixed I would have given it a 5 star

Location is awesome. Go down 8 steps and you are on the beach. No other ocean-fro g houses in either direction for quite a distance. Comfortable and relaxing and great beach views from the couch in both directions thanks to the shape of the house and the two sets of glass doors.

The location of this house is unbeatable!!! The street is quiet, not far from local shops, right on the beach!! Nothing beats a cup of coffee in the morning on the deck....fit our group comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay here.
