This is our second time staying at Sunset Island. Our party is two adult couples with our adult children 10 in total. VACASA check-in process is extremely unorganized and there is NO social distancing! They need to adapt to a touch less process with door codes and early check if units are ready. They made every rental in the area wait in a crowded parking lot with no parking until exactly 4 pm. Behind the closed window were plenty of units ready to be accessed but they ridiculously make you wait until 4 pm. The Sunset Island 5 bedroom 4 and a half units are huge with plenty of room (a lot of stairs not good for elderly or handicap). The resort facilities and amenities are convenient. We enjoy full beach days and come back for a swim, appetizers and drinks by the pool. A major downside was the bar manager not serving our legal twenty one and over guests due to our CT state license being vertical. (a huge financial loss to them but they insist its a MD regulation) The unit is due for a major spruce up! It looks like it was furnished with higher end items many years ago. Stained furniture and rugs and rusted vents, paint gouges on walls, old bathrooms broken faucets etc. Basically in need of a remodel. No hooks, towel bars or shower shelving for bath item necessities. The kitchen is in desperate need of an overhaul of housewares and appliances. We cook in a lot, everything was miss match and old with a non functioning toaster and no Keurig etc. No furniture on the front porch to sit and relax. ***Renters beware the unit is price gouged more that $3,000 dollars than what we paid for a summer week*** I have been renting and researching properties for well over 20 years. The price the owner and VACASA have this listed for now would be comparable to a luxury unit ocean side or ocean front. This property by far does not qualify for that price! We are a family of front line Covid workers that have been working since March 2020! We and so many others deserve a fair relaxing break without being taken advantage of.

The house has a good location overall. There are no views to speak of from this house. The Front porch on the main floor is very comfortable but there is a lot of traffic due to being on the main boulevard right near the gatehouse. There are many things to do that are within walking distance. The pool is a 5 minute walk, the ocean 10 minutes (depending on the light on the main road), good restaurant (longboard cafe) right outside gate, Dunkin Donuts, Mini golf, shopping and a liquor store. The house itself though is very comfortable. The 5 bedrooms were great for the family. The house is in need of renovation. Things are showing their age. Maintenance is a little deferred as well. Nothing major but no one is looking at what needs to be done with a critical eye. The management company was really very unresponsive. We had ordered the linen package and when we started handing out the linens we realized these were the dirty linens from the people the prior week. Took a great deal of calling to get anyone to respond. I called to ask what the garage door code was. I'm still waiting for a call back. Everything worked in the house except the $99 mini-microwave which took forever to heat anything and the coffee maker that made a pot of coffee in about 20 minutes and had one of those pots that was impossible to pour without spilling. Small inconveniences though overall. We had a great week.

Loved the location and the kitchen table that seated everyone. I didn’t like that the garage door wouldn’t open by the keypad but required you to go threw the house to open every time.

The positives include the location, the accommodations as a whole, beds were comfortable, easy walk to the ocean. Checking in and out was a bit of a pain, only property improvement would be more silverware.

Best vacation ever!!!
