Welcome to Mac's Bluff! This beautiful Grand Beach home is located in the newer Eiffel Tower Bluffs section of Grand Beach.

Side doors at both sides provide access to decks and stairs down to the outdoor area. The kitchen has a breakfast bar with stools and a 96-inch table that can seat your entire group for dinner. The living area includes a 55-inch cable TV. Off to the side is a large screened porch that will quickly become your favorite place to unwind! The main level also features a bedroom down the hall with a private porch and a large bath with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub.

The downstairs has been completely remodeled and has a full bath and a large living space, including a wet bar with two drink coolers and a flatscreen cable TV overhead, a Ping-Pong table, a foosball table, and a 65-inch cable TV with a soundbar large enough to watch any game or movie! From downstairs, you can overlook or walk out to the pool area through two large patio doors.

The property has so much potential, and can accommodate a large group w a beautiful private pool! The management co (Vacasa) and the owners were not honest with us about a problem/offensive odor at the home and kept putting us off. We sadly ended up having to abruptly leave after our 3rd day there. Aside from this, the property needs updating -- towels were scarce, though Vacasa replenished immediately after our request. The pots/pans were not useable (though I believe they've since replaced them after our request) My family vacation was hardly a vacation, as we spent the first 3 days trying to figure out what the odor was, and then had to leave. The management team at Vacasa, though helpful to start, ended up strongly failing us. I would veer away from Vacasa properties.

So many places to gather! Our crew gravitated towards the kitchen table but in warmer weather would've spent more time on the screened porch or by the pool. There's two comfy couch/ tv areas plus a bonus table and bar downstairs. We loved the arcade games, foosball and ping pong but cruising in the 6 person golf cart was the highlight. The basement opens to the pool so doesn't feel underground except those bedrooms don't have windows which is good if you like it dark! The primary bath has a giant deep tub, very relaxing :) Easy walk to several beach lookouts but a rocky shore, no water access.

When we were looking for a place to stay, we were looking with a place with a nice kitchen and seating area. We were looking for a place to simply relax and unwind but still had some fun indoor activities. This place met our expectations and felt it would be a neat place to return to in the summer. Listening to the water is such a calming thing.

Mac’s Bluff was a delightful rental. It is very spacious and comfortable. The highlight was definitely the pool! With a depth of 10 ft, we were comfortable letting the children spend hours jumping into the pool without concern of them hitting the bottom. The interior of the house worked well for our group of 10, plenty of dishes, pans, and utensils. The lower level was a perfect spot for games and movies, and the main level provide a great dining spot as well as comfortable lounging. The pool area, the lower level and the main level were so accommodating that we would definitely stay there again. However, there were some problems. The unit had two golf, one was gas powdered which we were told was unreliable and should not be use, and the other had a broken charger, which wasn’t replaced until Wednesday. Communications were often conflicting. Directions such as the internet sign in and the check- out procedures, varied between the web site, emails, and the house book. As mentioned by other reviewers, the exterior of the house needs some touch ups. The vegetation needs trimming, the wooden trim needs power washing and staining, at least two of the screen doors need the screens reattached, the outdoor shower was unavailable and the outdoor fire pit gas tank was empty.

Our family (8 adults and 7 children - aged 11 to 6 months) had such a great time at Mac's Bluff! Even though the weather was cooler, the kids were in the heated pool and hot tub every day. Everything on the property was well maintained and clean. We had a fantastic week and made many great memories for the grandchildren. We would definitely book the house again.

Our group of 6 had a wonderful time at Mac’s Bluff. The pool was the big reason we booked here and it did not disappoint. There was plenty of lounging space for our group both inside and out, and the interior living spaces on both floors, including basement bathroom, have been nicely updated. There is also plenty of fridge space, given the two additional beverage fridges downstairs. The house has a good amount of flatware, plates/cups/bowls and overall kitchen supplies. The bathrooms upstairs and on the main floor are original, and the decks and screen doors are not great shape and need replacing. However, the house has new siding/soffits/fascia (and maybe a new roof) and looks great so it seems the new owners are working on updating the property. Vacasa responded very quickly to a maintenance call on Saturday evening when we arrived (the HVAC was making a weird noise), so big thank you to them. We did not realize until staying here that you can drive a cart to the grand beach golf course and also get the ‘resident’ discount, which was a big plus. Just check to make sure the cart has a full tank of gas so you can prevent having to be rescued on the 7th hole! We had a great time and we would definitely return.
