The four of us enjoyed the view and flowering landscape. The beach was beautiful with rocks and shells. house is nicely set up for visiting… many places to gather. Problem with tv connection to internet was frustrating.
4.3
I loved the scary ladder to the beach. I went half way down twice to take picures. .
4.3
Huge yards, games for kids to play with, firewood and multiple fire stoves.
Driveway is small and narrow. There should be notification that the beach access is not for the feint of heart. A very narrow staircase the would be better called a ladder is used to access the beach. Stickers overgrown along the stairs. In addition, the stairs in the house to the second floor were very narrow and the ceiling was low. I had to walk sideways to fit my feet on the stairs.
I would book again, but wouldn't sleep upstairs.
4.3
Wonderful property with a beautiful view. Our kids loved it. Ran into a few neighbors down the beach that were a joy to visit with.
4.3
The outdoor room on the deck was wonderful to take in the view and snuggle by the fire.
4.3
This is a very charming space for family get-togethers even with limitations that could make the stay more comfortable. (I.e. one bathroom) The wood stove heated the house nicely. The location and access to the beach afforded us wonderful views and strolls by the water. The steep stairs to get to the beach are a little challenging for children and dogs. The large yard and the willingness to accommodate 4 dogs was greatly appreciated. Future renters should bring their own condiments, spices, etc as the kitchen is sparsely equipped.
4.3
What a find! The photos did not do it justice. The yard was massive and fenced in, our dogs had an absolute blast chasing each other. The deck with the fireplace was amazing, it felt very private and spacious. We can’t wait to come back!!
4.3
They advertise TV and Internet.Both of them did not work. We tried for 2 days to get help which did not prove successful. We did get spotty unsecured internet now and then in one room of house on our phone. I feel like our problems were answered by an AI message board. Bring plenty of books,games and cards. Better leave the children at home cause they would find this home pretty boring.
4.3
The place was great. The only thing that really stuck out to me that needs improving was maybe a night light down stairs. It was very dark down stairs. So we left the front light on but then it was too light. But we managed.
4.3
We chose this as our anniversary getaway place and we were happy with it. Nice quiet and peaceful. Great view of the sound. Clean and well furnished.
4.3
Very quiet, clean well stocked house. Has a water view and a big fenced yard for playing, sitting, enjoying the view. Porch is lovely as well.
It was very hot upstairs, would have been good to have screens on the windows to open and get some air.
Also, fixable but the lock on the door was broken so it was next to impossible to get in. We had to leave the door unlocked when going anywhere. We did call for help, a local number would have been optimal as a long distance dispatcher was not much good to us in the moment.
Overall, we had a lovely weekend away.
4.3
Overall we loved our time here. The outdoor deck, fire pit, lawn, interior space was beautiful and comfortable for all of us. Mornings on the deck watching the sunrise with coffee, that's the picture of vacation. However if you want to see the beach - it's a bit treacherous. Overgrown thorny branches cover what's functionally a metal ladder that's 1.5 stories high, but you're walking on it like stairs... sketchy. In high tide there isn't really a beach. Seeing a ton of jellyfish there was cool though, I'll say that.
4.3
This house was perfect. There are little things that most have addressed like the house not having kitchen items, but Vacasa has addressed that with providing a few small packs of oil (still bring your own) and some salt/pepper. The desk and yard are my favorite here. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. I did have a local friend stop by and they brought their little dog (20lbs) and it did escape the fence to the neighbors, so I would watch out if you are staying here for the fenced in yard with little dogs. For us, this place was perfect though. The only thing that would have been helpful was a place to put the luggage on in the rooms. Looking forward to coming back :)

The porch, the view, the beautiful yard! I did not want to leave! The house is lovely and cozy!
4.3
The house was very comfortable for our family, and the 2 dogs loved running around the fenced yard. We mostly lived on the large deck enjoying the view, visiting and playing games. Even though we had a few challenges, overall the stay was very nice and would recommend.
Our challenges were:
1. We were texted that rental was available early, and we could have early arrival. So we headed out, arrived early, and initial code did not work. We called Vacasa and after being on hold for 10 minutes received a new code that worked. Original code never did work even though they said it would.
2. No indication there was no freezer. Only the owner’s in the pantry. Usually there is a freezer with the fridge and available for use.
3. Could not figure out how to turn living room ceiling lights on.
4. Prior to trip, I messaged to find out if coffee filters were provided, and if not if coffee maker used basket or cone filters. They replied they did not provide filters and required cone filters. So I took cone filters. Upon arrival, coffee maker required basket filters. Thankfully, someone left some earlier.
Additional information: One clock did not have correct time. Other clock had no batteries. Saw large rat come up through hole on deck and scratched at patio door. Kitchen faucet leaked around nozzle.
4.3
This was a great weekend getaway. Our dog loved the huge backyard, and the firepits were great to sit in front of with a book. We ran into the same issue with the door code as previous renters. The Vacasa team was super responsive in getting us the code, I'd just be prepared to spend about 15 minutes dealing with this when you get there. Additionally as other people have pointed out the kitchen supplies are a little limited for example there were no skillets/frying pans.
Would still highly recommend this place just be mindful of the above two items.
4.3
The short of it: the large yard and stunning views do not make up for the house shortcomings.
The yard was covered in dog(?) poop and the house reeked of dogs. We couldn't even sit on the couch because it smelled so bad. The blankets were covered in dog fur.
The house was 42 degrees when we arrived. Some of the wall heaters were broken and others were clearly on the fritz (black markings around the knobs). It tooks more than 4 hours to bring the house up to a reasonable temperature with the fireplace.
The kitchen is poorly stocked and organized. Many of the dishes had to be washed as they were dirty and/or oily.
The floorboards are so creaky that they wake up the entire house.
Several light fixtures were missing bulbs or had burnt-out bulbs. Other light fixtures hang so low and are awkwardly placed so that people walk directly into them.
We would not return to this rental.
4.3
This place was perfect for us and the dogs. Lovely morning views and fires on the deck in the evening. We are retiring in a few years in this area and this place gave us a taste of things to come.

We did thanksgiving on the large deck. It was super cozy. The stairs to the beach were a fun adventure tho most of our party was unwilling to attempt them. They were quite steep and slippery. The dogs loved the fully fenced yard. The house and rooms were great. One minor complaint was that the beds were all very noisy. We think some of the bolts in the bedframes were loose.
I did have a couple issues with the listing. It said I should see wifi info a week ahead of time, but I had to directly contact vascasa to get the wifi info ahead of arrival. But wifi info was on the coffee table when we got in.
Also, vacasa told me there were no dishes or silverware which fortunately, simply is not true.
4.3
Loved the outdoor fireplace, location, wonderful fenced yard and views. Had everything we needed and more. Septic was slightly stinky and may need a pump out? Buy drinking water as the well water isn't too tasty. But a perfect getaway, especially with friends and pooches.

Not sure where my first review disappeared to but bed bugs are serious and this property is still being booked. We had the half dried laundry, not-quite-clean dishes, which I'll let slide in vacation rentals, but my last 2 mornings I woke up with bed bug bites, sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs guests had no problems. First time I've ever had bed bugs in any rental or hotel. Vacasa assured me someone would reach out to me about our stay, it's been nearly a week and nothing from the local management group. Maybe my first review went to their site, so I'll be curious if VRBO will allow a 2 star review up on their site. Cute place, I'd loved to have given it a 5 star rating.

Second stay just as nice as the first
This was my second time staying at this property and again, I just loved it. The sunrises are pure magic. This time we stayed WITH our two kids and they had so much fun playing with the seashells, romping in the backyard, throwing rocks on the beach and getting into all kinds of other fun. We will definitely be back a third time!

This charming home was the perfect place for a girls getaway for three nights. Even though it rained nearly the whole time, we had cozy fires inside and out on the covered porch! The house is older but newly decorated and comfortable. Not over the top luxury, but the perfect amount of quaint charm and comfort. We found nearly everything we needed there, but had read reviews and came prepared with our own spices and some essential cooking pieces. Definitely helped to shop for groceries on the way. We even brought an extra propane tank but when we arrived there were three! Perhaps others had left some behind. If you are expecting perfection, this may not be your place. But if you like the charm of an older home that’s been decorated with more modern aesthetics, and love a covered porch and water view…this is the spot! And the price matched :)

We thought this was a home that we were renting but turned out to be a one bathroom cabin. We had wood heat and a propane heater that we could not use due to the fact that the propane tanks were empty and they couldn’t get anyone to bring us any. The rooms are poorly situated for example they blocked a bedroom window with a view with the headboard of the bed??? This is not luxury so be sure your expectations are aligned.

As advertised. Very good for four golf buddies. Multiple seating areas. Cook is in the conversation. Room for one helper in the kitchen. Love the large pantry where I can see all I brought. Enjoy the view from everywhere. Good parking. The washer/dryer and lots of linens made it easier to have only one bathroom.

This property reminded me of a Northwoods cabin in MN/WI. Great view of water, surrounded by pines. The wild strawberries were a bonus.

We loved the open feel to the home & it was so nice to let the dogs explore the huge yard, knowing it was fully fenced. Will definitely stay again.
