There was only 2 dishwasher soap packages. We needed to do one load after lunch and another after dinner. We were told to basically buy our own, overall that felt cheap. When we arrived the garbage disposal did not work, sink would backup. Called Vacasa, the agent did not have any suggestions, she called someone else and turned in a ticket to have someone come out. Later received a text on how to reset it, tried it how to reset, no luck. Then sink started to back fill, rettired rest and it worked. Light over kitchen island was out. Only one light bulb in unit over garage living was working, it was dim in this room,hard to read. No light switch for back door light or outside garage unit. Had to walk up and down stairs in the dark. No key to back door, for people staying the garage you had to walk to the front door to get in. Vacasa gave us access code for keyboxes on back door, code did not work. Finally whenwthe email with the access code did not work, called the Vacasa agent, she did not know why, she called someone else who said after entering access code you had to press the checkmark button. This was not idenfied to use but should have been on the email. The house was great but Vacasa and maintenance was not.

We found the Sandcastle to be a large comfortable house with many amenities. Everything we needed for cooking and serving a meal were at hand including a very powerful Weber grill. There was plenty of space and seating on the main floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs were good. The house was well positioned for strolling through the nearby shops. There were a few of downsides to property. One is that the address of the house is at back of the property. If you use a gps to get there, it takes you to the back of the house and it's not easy to get into the house from the back. At the back door there is a lockbox that should hold a key but it doesn't work with the code that was sent. There is a similar lockbox on the apartment over the garage but that doesn't work either. So after spending 15 minutes trying to open the boxes, we went around to the front and found a code lock which does work. That's a needless waste of time that is pretty frustrating. Also at the back of the house there is insufficient lighting to light the stairs on the back porch or the stairs to the apartment. Turns out there is a light for the apartment stairs but It took some searching to find the light switch. It was controlled by the light switch in the garage. That is a puzzling bit of wiring that was way inconvenient. Another bit of a downside is that the house takes up the entire yard leaving no space to gather outside. Nevertheless we enjoyed it and rated it 4/stars.

Location was great, and we'll stocked for a nice stay

We had a lovely stay at the Sandcastle! It was so close to the main downtown and was roomy enough for two families! The property does not come with access to the pool, but that was just a detail we missed in the description. Also the hot tub did get dirty fast, but we also had multiple people in it. Overall it was so lovely and clean and gorgeous!!

A beautiful home in a fun little seaside town. We loved the walkability of the town. Hiking, beach time, and fun. The house is perfect and we would definitely stay here again!

Good location, well-worn house/furnishings, but comfortable. Servicing/cleaning was not great - lacking trash bags, only 1 dishwasher tablet, hot tub was full of sand... so bring a few (more) of your own basic supplies! Property address given in directions takes you to the back of the property & the lockbox digits don't all work. We finally figured out there was an electronic lockbox on the front door (different street address) that worked, so use the front door to enter (after you park your car in the garage).

Great property just a block away from restaurants, the market, and shops. The beach was within walking distance, though it involved a fairly steep hike up/downstairs or a trail. We had up to five people staying at one time, and everyone had their own bed. The two people in the bunk beds had mixed reviews: one found it comfortable, while the other woke up with a backache. The other beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped for our needs, though the blender was broken. The dining room table was large enough for all of us, and the living area was comfortable too. The hot tub was private, and the balcony off the master suite was charming. The carriage house was also a nice addition. The only setback was the back door from the kitchen, which we couldn't unlock or open. I left multiple text messages and kept getting re-routed with promises of help. Eventually, I called a number by the door, which linked me to a different property (an upcoming Vacasa stay). After some confusion, we finally got someone to come out, though they were initially unable to open the door. Another person was called, and they finally managed to get it open. This was a bit frustrating, not only because it was a fire hazard, but also because it was the main door to the garage, carriage house, and hot tub. Thankfully, we were able to use it from the second day onward. It seemed to be a known issue, so I hope they've since fixed it. Make sure to check out the trails while you're there!

This house at Seabrook contains everything you need to host a large group. We had two families there and had plenty of everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the outdoor hot shower and the hot tub after our time at the beach!
