    Quiet neighborhood. Very dark in the lodge part and a bit musty. Found a dish full of water under the sink in the kitchen. Obviously leaking, causing the mustiness.

    We loved having morning coffee on the porch watching all the dog walkers and bikers go by. It was such a quick walk to the beach and the Empire shops. We made multiple trips back and forth to the beach; our last trip of the day was to watch the sunset. The kitchen is large and accommodate all the cooks and bakers in the family. We hope to make our stay here an annual family event.

    The house was a great size and had what was needed. House was not cleaned well prior to arrival. Items from last guest still in the house, unmade beds. Also a camera in the living room which is a huge issue. Vacasa was very responsive but still disappointed.
