This house has a beautiful view. Located in Buxton which is a quaint quiet beachy location. Not built up, quiet, beautiful area. The house is as described in previous reviews. Beautiful location but very run down. Someone compared it to indoor camping and that is exactly correct. Beds were comfortable, internet and TVs worked, air conditioning worked for the most part but it wasn’t very hot outside (we were there the week of Debby). While there is an area with pool table, foos ball and ping pong, there was about a 1/2 inch of sand on the ground (this could be due to the cracks in the garage doors) we did sweep it up and no lighting. There were boogie boards, sand toys, beach games etc but everything was cracked or broken.The outdoor shower/rinse off area was all sand, so once you rinsed off, you just got sand on you again. I am pretty sure very little in this house had been updated in the last 25 years. With all that being said, the house is spacious and has potential with a little TLC. Would I stay here again? Maybe

The view is incredible. Every amenity you can think of. Hot tub is wonderful. Plus a pool table, ping pong etc…amazing house!

After reading the reviews from the past, we planned for the worst and hoped for the best. Surprisingly maintenance issues still abounded, despite the numerous complaints of maintenance shortcomings. To the positive, the air-conditioning worked great, the hot tub was in perfect shape, the deck is newly redone and very good. The pool table and game area was usable and functioning well. Unfortunately, some basic maintenance issues still abound. The dishwasher worked once or twice and then was non-functional for the remainder of our visit. A repair man did come on Friday. The Vacasa maintenance man said that he had been out previously submitted a ticket but to no avail. The master bathroom upstairs had a non-functioning handle on the main sink faucet and it actually fell off. The faucet on the lwhirlpool tub was broken and fell off as well. The shower curtain was in a condition that reminded me of living in a men’s dorm in college. The screen door on one of the downstairs bedrooms was corroded shut, preventing egress from there. And a number of the windows had this fuzzy wooden thing happening, which was disconcerting. I feel nitpicky mentioning all these little things, but at the same time, it seems a handyman could fix most of these rather quickly. Nonetheless, the house is very comfortable and cozy, location was superb. We would be stay there again- it truly is a very special spot in the world. I think the Dolphins we saw each morning would agree!

This house has major plumbing issues that were not being addressed. We had toilets that did not flush and we had to empty buckets of water from a leak in the plumbing. The house is not safe and has a garage door that is ready to split in half. Our tv could not be used because it was missing the power cord. The toilets seats were disgusting and we had problems with major insects in the house.

Great view! But the house is a little rundown.

We loved our time at the Elusive Day Dream. There were a few issues with broken screens and things that I expect at the end of season, and with short staffing issues: the hot tub was broken (we were refunded for that part of our stay), and I wish that a few things could have been fixed, mattress pads and pillow cases that were missing could have been delivered. Still the view was unbeatable, and the layout worked perfectly for our family. We also loved that we could walk to local restaraunts, grocery stores, and custard. We would love to return.

The house needs maintenance. I had to keep my toddler from playing with large slivers of wood that were chipping off the doors inside. Hot tub was broken, lock on the sliding glass door was broken, and the drains downstairs were clogged. Even worse the property manager never tried to notify us that beach nourishment was scheduled and stadium style lights shined in our windows all night while the hodge shook and heavy machinery kept us awake. Nobody slept all week, and everyone was happy to end the vacation. If Vrbo or Vacasa offers an appropriate response I will update this, but don’t stay here.
