Location and layout were great! There were a few minor issues! Upstairs bathroom needs maintenance ASAP. The AC is leaking and there’s mildew and mold dripping onto the floor. The air filter was disgusting which is terrible for air quality in a usual humid location. The light bulbs needs changed in all the bedrooms, especially the back left. The second level deck to the left, the banister needs checked. I was terrified to have my kids leaning on it as it’s shaky. Outside of that the house was clean, it was the perfect size for our family. Hot tub and pool were great. Loved the fenced in yard which is great for dogs and kids. The walk to the beach was perfect with small children.

My friend and I got a deal on this place for a 3-night stay after Labor Day. For the money is was a bargain to get so much house, a block from the beach with a hot tub and pool. There is a public access parking lot right next door so I imagine during peak summer hours the beach would be quite crowded but for us it was wonderful. I did bring my dog, who initially loved the fenced in back yard until he got a sandbur (google for images if you are not familiar) stuck in his paw bed that we had a heck of a time removing. Upon further inspection the backyard is COVERED in these things. I spent an hour pulling the ones I could find and didn’t come close to getting them all. I can’t imagine children being able to play safely in this yard. My dog, friend and myself got stuck with sandburs several more times throughout our stay. The house was sanitary when we arrived. Linens and towels were clean and surfaces seemed freshly wiped down. But looking closer the house is in need of a good, deep clean. The HVAC air filter was in desperate need of a change, noticeable piles of dust on fan blades and curtains and the carpets need a professional cleaning. The furniture is older and shows wear but that is somewhat expected in a place that allows pets. Overall, for the price we paid, we were happy with the property, the location and the amenities provided. If we had been staying for longer and paying premium summertime rates I think we might’ve felt differently.

The house is in a great location, less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and with a pool, but it definitely needs some maintenance. The carpet was VERY dirty and either needs a deep clean or to be replaced. The couches are very worn and the kitchen and bathrooms needed a more thorough cleaning. Additionally, we arrived and one of the sheets was ripped. We needed a replacement and reached out to the management service (which is a corporate number that then needs to reach out to the local team) and it took me reaching out to them several times and three days to get us a new sheet. This is not a reflection of Vrbo but rather than management company of the house. Going forward, if we ever book a property again I will ensure that it is not managed through Vacassa.

The location, beach access and house layout were great. We did find beach equipment that was supplied. The kitchen amenities were below standard and very basic in what it offered. The pans were all small sizes that were scratched up and should not be used. For a large family it made it very difficult to prepare meals. It was very nice to have a pool, however the yard is not maintained. The grass was all pinching weeds. Even the dogs were not able to walk on it and paws kept getting pinched. We brought yard games to play and it pouches kept sticking to the ground. The park grill has seen better days, we wanted to grill out a couple of nights but decided not to use it. The outdoor shower had zero water pressure, you are better off using the one at the beach.

Straight up with a twist is in a perfect location. On a quiet side street and Beach access is a 1-2 minute walk. Also, walking distance to Duck Donuts, ice cream, pizza, etc. I enjoyed my morning walks with the grand-littles. The pool was a plus after being on the beach all day. Even though we hauled all of our beach supplies, the house was fully stocked with plenty of beach and pool supplies. I only have one suggestion, add a keurig in the kitchen for your all day coffee drinkers. Communication was great during the rental process. The house was clean and perfectly ready when we arrived. Overall, our family had a great week. I would stay here and book through Vacasa again.
