There was standing water from a storm a few days prior that caused flooding in another home. The water was in the garage and caused a mildew smell throughout the home. Location was amazing though loved being right on the beach.

The house is a great location for small children. We had several plumbing issues which were called in the day we checked in. I called numerous times and kept being told that mgmt would call me back. They never did. There is also a breakdown of communication from the after hours or central number and the local office. They also said management would call us back and did not. All associates very kind when I would speak to them, however no follow through at all with what we were being told. We will not rent this house again, nor will we rent from Vacasa again. Our issues were never resolved while we were there. Only as we were checking out and my husband and I went to the mgt company in person and insisted on speaking to the manager did they finally speak to us. Hopefully they have fixed the issues and brought the home up to standard for the future renters. Our issues included: Water coming through the kitchen ceiling when bathtub water running, dishwasher not working, outlet was tripped by the water leak, but even when that dried dishwasher would run but not clean, mold on bedroom ceiling, very slow drains in 2 out of 3 showers, screen on slider kept falling off track .Our family enjoyed themselves being right on the beach, pretty property ,however the above issues need to be addressed both the house issues and communication issues. I understand they are very busy, but our issues were valid and should have been taken care of immediately.

This property is breath-taking! The location is perfect and the sunrise and sunsets through the many windows and balconies are beautiful! The property was well stocked and the beds were lined with Marriott quality sheets and comforters. There is a bathroom in almost every bedroom. TV's are nice and big and have a lot of channels. Also, checking in and checking out was simple.

Unit was very clean, linen package was a plus, beds were comfortable, furniture was in good condition, and bathrooms were easily accessible from bedrooms.

Location! Location! Location!

The large size of the unit and it’s location to the ocean we’re all positive. Nice kitchen and ample furniture.

This place was FILTHY! The mattress covers were extremely stained. Every single surface was covered in sticky dirt. They didn’t even run a vacuum. We ended up vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning the lent filters in this place. I shouldn’t have to clean a place after spending as much money as I did!

Ocean Colony 2 was lovely for my family and me. We had a total of 8 adults and the space was perfect. The room and bathroom layout offers a great amount of privacy. The decor and furniture is updated and the location in OCMD is wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Posting here in hopes the owner of this property know how awful Vacasa is with their property and those renting it. We continued to reach out to Vacasa, with no resonse and NOT even posted our review to their site. The good: • Location to the beach was amazing, it could not be any better. Come and go from beach to house, vice versa with ease. • Great outdoor furniture on the decks. • Beach not too crowded, even for 4th of July week. • Umbrella rental right by the house. • House provided beach chairs. • Beds were really comfortable. • Great that we had clean linens as part of our rental. The not good, first time renting through Vacasa: • The cleaning was not great. Couch and chair were stained, had food crumbs behind pillows and in the cushions. Stairs covered in sand. We went to plug in a vacuum to clean the sand and found more food scraps around the end table (but neither of the vacuums were working). The upstairs carpets were stained more than I can even describe. Even had a razor blade laying on the stove. And oh the poor owners of this property, people have done some damage to the walls and furniture, and whatever the cleaning company is using on your stainless steel appliances is awful, looks like a dog tried to clean it with their tongue. Tons of broken beach toys and pieces of a wagon or stroller were all out on the deck (we did clean this up and tossed unusable broken items). • The cleaning quickly became the least of our worries. Those renting the property next to us (also a Vacasa rental) were having a weekend of parties, loud parties (someone was crushing it in beer pong, per what we could hear until 2:00 a.m.), smoking around the clock (when the property/complex is non-smoking and only a couple of feet away from us sitting on our deck area), and the poor girl drunk-crying from the top deck at 2:30 a.m. was just too much. We did speak to Vacasa, not sure what was done about it. Not sure Vacasa did any regulation of capacity, smoking, partying level, etc. • Upon arrival we did not receive our parking passes and COULD NOT reach anyone from Vacasa to help; we tried multiple phone numbers, texts and messaging. I get that the weekend is crazy busy with check-in and outs but we could not talk with an actual person. The complex has signs everywhere stating that no parking pass = towed. • Finally spoke to someone from Vacasa (she sounded irritated and exhausted before I even started talking), they gave mixed messages, info and no help.

The house is gorgeous and spacious. The balconies are plentiful. The beds are sturdy and comfortable. Great distance from the beach. BUT... The second floor bathroom began LEAKING into the sink and onto the floor. Debris would fall persistently onto the dining room table from the ceiling.

Beautiful property with fantastic views!

The location is hard to beat. Down a few steps from the deck and you're on the sand. There's a nice area of "private" sand there to set up a kids pool etc. or a few more steps over the dunes and you're on the main beach! The house is comfortable, well laid-out, and updated nicely throughout. We hope to be back again next year!

Beautiful place to stay and make memories with family! Views of the ocean are just amazing. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Stunning location with even better amenities and an awesome team at Vantage to round out an amazing week! Would 1000% recommend for anyone traveling to OCMD and hope to book with Vantage again in the future! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
