Sandcastle by the Sea - 3 blocks to beach, private pool, elevator

Loved the location, spaciousness, and the overall comfort.

The house is .5 mile from the beach...on a path that is very walkable...but very sunny. The house is lovely, but the kitchen is ill-equipped. No bottle opener, vegetable peeler, etc., and knives not useable....bring your own! Gas grill was not working and was finally replaced on Thursday of our week stay and dumped in garage, not connected....so we did not have access to an outdoor grill all week. Pool very small but nice for kids...house cam with beach chairs but no pool noodles or toys...we bought our own and left them. Whoever owns this house needs to consistently check in and update household items. And bring your own beach towels...none provided.

This home was beautifully decorated and in a great location. It was fully stocked with everything you needed. Biggest issue was with the communication with management. We were given the wrong code to enter the house and there seemed to be a delay with them responding back to us. I think it was an automated response until they connected to a live person. Coffee makers didn’t work, no extra kitchen garbage bags, pool wasn’t heated (we did get a refund) . We never got a response back from them when we mentioned the above issues. That was frustrating.

Everything was good except the refrigerator was not working good it didn’t keep our food cold .We had two bag of ice was wasted my frozen biscuit thawed out and the waterin

We spent Thanksgiving at this house. The house was very nice and well cared for and we had a great trip. Even though it got cold during the stay, the family enjoyed the heated pool. Sunsets at the beach were awesome! The management company was very responsive to our one complaint, which turned out to be basically a user error. I would have given a 5 except for one issue - the water pressure. It was really poor - enough to affect toilet flushing and showers.

Location, the space, house the house was equipped, the pool, cleanliness, well stocked kitchen. Communication was excellent

While we had a few hiccups with the property- pool tv accessing the wifi, microwave not working, and slow dryer... the management team was johnny on the spot with all the repairs. The service was fantastic! The overall home features were great to accommodate our large group. The elevator was a lovely plus and the home ambiance was perfect for our beach vibe. We will definitely book with Vacasa again!

The house was just like the photos showed. Very easy walk to the beach. It was great to have miniature golf and arcade behind the house.

The home is beautiful and plenty large enough for our family. Live the large kitchen table, the elevator was a nice added bonus, as well as the counter-top ice maker. The home was not as clean as we would have hoped. The floors, baseboards, and return air vents were dirty. Many of the dishes were put away dirty and had to be rewashed. We contacted VACASA regarding a couple broken items and their communication was not great. Would have been nice to be able to reach out to the owner directly. The community was nice and close to everything. If we return we would likely stay in the community again, just maybe a different home due to cleanliness and communication.

This house was very clean upon arrival. We had a total of 10 adults and 5 children, ages 7-12. This house was spacious and fit our group very well. If it had an extra bathroom, or even a half bath, it would have been perfect! Regardless, it worked and was very well equipped as well. The pool area is a little small, but worked. It was nice for the kids to enjoy the pool without having to make sure sunscreen was always applied. It was a great way to cool off and to be out of the sun as it began to get very warm at week's end. The elevator was very helpful, as we had a handicapped person with us. It was also convenient for luggage when arriving and packing up for departure. The only complaint we had, was the trash pickup details and amount of trash cans available. When we arrived on Saturday, 2 of 3 trash cans were full outside. We didn't think too much of it as the rental info says trash pickup is on Mondays. We rolled all 3 cans to the street on Sunday night. Monday and Tuesday passed, still with overflowing cans. After contacting rental company, we were told trash pickup was on Wednesday. No sweat. They did come on Wednesday. I would suggest more, or larger trash bins. We cooked in 6 of 7 nights, and for a house of 16, you can imagine the amount of trash we had. Because of the amount of trash in the bins when we arrived, we had an overflow of trash that wouldn't fit until after the Wednesday pick up. And by the end of our stay, the bins were full again. I'm sure this will irritate the next renters as well. Otherwise, this house was great and we had a great week, and would highly recommend this rental!
