Single-level home 350 yds from the beach with sundecks & WiFi - 2 dogs OK

Good time

We rented this house because we stayed in a smaller duplex in Buxton last year. The remote area is nice, however, the entire experience was completely different this year. The house is old and run down with no beach access and no beach view. The house is listed on VRBO as “on the beach” and “beach view” The house is NOT on the beach, there is NO beach access and there is NOT a view of the beach. The beach access.is closed. You can illegally enter the beach near condominiums on the beach. I walked with my dogs to the beach day since I came for the beach. There is NO beach equipment. There are bugs in the house and the house moves. No kidding, the house shakes!!! I was so afraid that the house was going to fall. I called Vacasa several times to ask where I could find beach access and to request items such as Coffee, Dishwasher soap, garbage bags, toilet paper and paper towels. I never got an answer on where I could find the access to the beach and was told that each house has a “starter supply kit”. I went to the store to buy the items requested since there were none when I arrived ( two rolls of toilet paper was about all that we received) I was told that coffee is not supplied. We received a total of six towels. That was it, for a 3 bedroom house that sleeps 6- or 7 people. Someone from Vacasa showed up to the door on the afternoon prior to departure with garbage bags, Dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels. The house needs to be updated and Vacasa needs an accurate listing.

We’ve come to this property 3 times now. We love the location, cute quaint neighborhood. Great for kids, bike riding, dog walking and the great turtle pond. Close to beaches (walk and bike distance). Also close to bike or drive to local eateries and shops.

Great house! Very clean, decorated nicely. All what we were looking for. Hope to go back there next year.

Home was okay for price. Disappointed the beach access was closed (and will be for a while due to fuel contamination from the ex-Navy site) and this wasn’t communicated prior to rental period starting even though it was known.

Location. Porches

This is a great place for a family or three guys on a fishing trip. Everything you need on one floor. The kitchen is small but has all the utensils and cook ware you need. Walking distance to the beach, close to grocery stops and restaurants. No hot tub or pool but the price is right. An outside grill would have been nice but we had a small gas one with us.

It was ok

Checked in after long drive only to find that the main water line was shut off and there were no bed linens. Was able to contact property manager and eventually provided water turn on and some sheets that we were able to make work. Property is in nice location, however, is dated and worn furniture, kitchen. After that we did enjoy the stay.

The fact it was a very small community is always a appealing factor to my choice of stays. Away from all the partying and such.
