The house was as advertised, relatively clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Entry and wifi access were easily understood. Did not figure out local spectrum access on television until the last day of stay. Roku, spectrum interface was not intuitive.

Vacasa does not work for us. This is customer service outsourced to big tech/data. We were inundated with spam, marketing material, leasing agreements, and app installation for months prior to the rental. Very little of their correspondence was of value. According to my browser security, many of the links supplied were not functional or safe. We signed a rental agreement on sign up day and they hounded us for months. Public beach access was closed due to recent storms, and the lot behind house is major construction site. Dog friendly, but the surrounding lawn is covered in sand spurs. We called prior to arrival to understand beach and property conditions. I spoke to a woman in Central America that knew nothing and was barely conversant in English. I sent a note of inquiry and received a placating non-response.

We love the house. It was clean and spacious and lots of closet/dresser spaces. Laundry room was very convenient. TV in every bedroom was enjoyed by all the kids. The balcony in the front and sunroom in the back were nice touches. Close enough to the beach. Shower outside to get cleaned up or just wash feet before going in the house was very useful. Plenty of parking spaces.

The Buxton Beach is closed due to public health safety. Closed since Sept 2023 and we came Aug 2024. Wish we would’ve known this. Some dishes were put away wet. Coffee maker was not clean. But all in all still a good beach house.
