Oceanfront Home with Bay Views, Free WiFi, Gas Grill & Gas Fireplace

First the bad: Don’t let the terms “Oceanside” and Bay View” fool you into thinking there are sweeping waterfront views. There are none. The ocean is concealed by a dune and the bay bridge is a distant object in the background over rooftops of the neighborhood. The house is worn and, though spacious, is rather stark in decor. The extensive use of slate floors felt cold, considering at least half the in-wall Cadet heaters were inoperable, especially in the master bath where neither the heat nor the exhaust vents worked. The hard slate staircase was a concern for our party which included a two and four year old. There were no lamps, only ceiling lights which left no comfortable place to relax and read. The kitchen disposal was jammed. I gathered tools and was able to loosen it and get it working again. I feel I should bill Vacasa $300 for a service call. The kitchen was lacking many common utensils with an over-abundance of black plastic spatulas and not enough silverware. Dust was everywhere, from cobwebs in the living areas and kitchen to the floors and the beautiful, non-working chandelier in the foyer (sad). The bathrooms were clean but the towels/washcloths were stained. The sheets were clean but there were no mattress pads - not very sanitary. To sum up: This property is more suited for the stereotypical STR all-night rave party than it is for a cozy weekend getaway. By the word “stereotypical” I mean everything I have heard about Vacasa properties. Not for us.

We love the house. We plan on using it again. It is a wonderful place and a great location. Thank you

the property and location was great

Nice, open, clean, quiet, comfortable.Didn't like the stairs, but we knew about them going in, so can't complain. Water filter on the fridge would have been nice.

We stayed here with our son, his wife and two children 8 and 10. The structure of the house worked very well with grandparents upstairs where the kitchen is and the rest of the family downstairs where the kids could walk outside and play in the sand. There's a rather large dune that you have to walk over to reach the beach.

House is fine. Vacasa is the worst management company to deal with.

Unfortunately this house is not for small children. We understood there were stairs but the railing along the stairs and second level had big enough gaps for a small child to fit through. The walk down to the beach did have a pretty big drop off. It was difficult going down the dune and getting back up. There should be more information on the listing with how steep the drop is. The smaller kids room is right next to a door that leads outside and the lock is really easy to turn so the 2 year old couldn't sleep in there. There were no screens on any of the windows and only a few windows opened. The furniture is pretty outdated and lots of stains on the chairs on the first level. I love this area and have stayed in rentals on this street before. This house just needs a deep clean and some newer furniture. The listing really should have been more clear about parts of the house that aren't small kid friendly. Had I known this, I would have rented a different place. We wanted to spend more time at the water but the difficulties walking up and down the dune with 2 very small kids did not allow us to do so.

This space is not small child friendly. The living space, along with the kitchen, is on the 2nd floor. The stairs were steep, I was expecting that, but the railing had pretty big openings that a child could fit through. There were no screens on the few windows that opened. Also, the walk to the water requires a trek over a hill and down a steep dune. The house needs a deep clean and updated furniture. The instructions for the TV look like it could have been for a different TV. The 2 queen beds were comfortable enough but the master bed is very high off the ground. This was not good for small children sleeping next to you. We couldn't use the room that had 2 twin beds because it was too far from the master and right next to a door that leads outside.

We needed to make last minute plans to come out to the coast. We were looking at hotel rooms until we found this affordable home. It was comfortable and pretty clean. It was a great home base for what we needed to accomplish. We would stay there again. We do wish we had a better beach view, but the short walk was not too bad.

Nice house in a pleasant setting but needs a very deep clean. Dirty pots, mold in master shower, broken grill and dirty light fixtures detracted from the stay.

The access to the beach is amazing. Highly recommend this home.

Open layout, modern, clean, plenty of room for all guests. Close to beach and comfortable. So impressed that the carpets weren't coast sticky. Loved it!

Loved this house. Loads of room Easy to find. Easy drive to grocery stores Short walk up sand dune to beach Plenty of cooking supplies utensils spices etc

The overall property was fine. Small things added up to mild frustration. In both of the bathrooms the electrical outlets did not work. One of the burners on the stove did not work. Only one small bedside lamp in the downstairs bedroom. We were told by the cleaners that the previous renter broke the front window closure and it could not be closed which was uncomfortable in the evenings. Kitchen was not well stocked with utensils, wine glasses (only one), no instructions on how to operate the gas BBQ (gas was left on by previous user) and dish washer. The windows were dirty and inhibited the view. Two final comments, the combination entry is too long and complicated. There is a lock box but it’s necessary to call the property manager to get the lock box combo and then the key did not work in the front door. We would not return to this property.
