This was the third time we have stayed here. It’s been our go to house for three years now to relax and get away. We loved this house, it’s placement, decor, yard/landscaping, pool and decks. We started with VRBO for two years and with Vacasa this year. We have so many memories built up in this property that it feels almost like a part of us. But this year it just didn’t shine as much. It didn’t feel like meeting our old friend. There was confusion before arrival that we’d need to pick up the key for the house. It had the key pad on it the last two years but we thought ok new company new rules. Until a week before our start we get the email saying about arriving. Nope no keys just the usual key pad. Ok. We get there thinking we’re are getting a new key pad on the door because the last two years it’s been really cranky and not very secure. But nope same old key pad. I guess no big deal. We couldn’t get it to lock from the outside all week so someone had to turn the lock from the inside and go out through the upstairs door and come down the deck steps. Not a big deal. The house was clean and smelled clean. The cleaning crews really do a great job. Which is greatly appreciated by us! I don’t even want to think what some people leave that house looking like. There is plenty of space for a lot of people. There is the downstairs apartment and the suite. The third floor with the king bed and the futons. But there are only two of us plus our dog so we just stay on the second floor. She takes one side and I take the other. My side this year was a little water logged. The toilet kept running, very loudly. Luckily I was able to “fix” the problem while I was there. And this probably should have been turned in for it to be taken care of by a professional. But see it was doing this the last two days we were at the house last year. So I was thinking hey maybe they want it to constantly run 24 hours a day? If no one has fixed it in a year? I mean waters free the ocean is just right there. This house sits on the perfect spot. It’s better then being on the beach. This house looks right between two houses and the public access is just out your door and across the street. We’ve watched dolphins from the decks. Ah the decks… this is why we love this house. Sitting on the decks top or middle deck and people watching and waving and saying hi to the passerby’s. The top deck gives a great view of the area and ocean. At night with a full moon it feels like you can reach up and touch it! The pool is usually our focal point. But you have to watch the tops of the deck rails they are old and the paint is peeling and are leaving jagged edges. They kind dig into your skin. This pool is huge for a beach house pool. With a true six foot deep end and contoured sides. Also has the wide walk in steps. The cement pad around it is good and has plenty of room for chairs. Unfortunately we had to get the hand rails out of a pile of stuff against the house and put them in so we had them to use. The area where they set into the cement is all cracked and doesn’t hold them well but it was better then nothing. The landscaping and yard is awesome. It’s a large space and great for people with more then one pet or kids. It wraps from one side of the house to the other and gives people a lot of room to move around. Just remember that the people coming to work on the property no how to open the gates but seems they are not required to close them. Be vigilant! Some of the chairs are in need of repair. Hopefully it’s done better then the chair I sat in and ripped the skin on my thigh about 5 inches down my leg. Shorter nuts and bolts should have been used. Inside the house the decor is as to be expected at the beach. There were new covers on the beds and they looked great. There is a long C shaped leather sofa which is very cool. We used it for good naps these last three years! It’s also great to set on and watch the ocean and sun rising. Kitchen is small if you consider the h...

Pearl by the Sea had a wonderful view of the ocean. Although it was on the other side of the streets from the beach, Pearl by the Sea was a short walk to the beach.

We loved staying so close to the beach and found this home comfortable for our three families. Perfect number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the couch was perfect for us all. The kitchen was a little tight but we made it work (we love to cook together). The only downside was the kitchen was missing a can opener. I would definitely recommend staying here.

When we arrived on Thursday we started checking the house out. The downstairs bedroom had not been cleaned, towels still in the bathroom, beds still unmade. Mother in law suite was locked by a different code. Went upstairs to find there was still coffee in the coffee pot, dirty dish towel on the counter and could see puppy dog feet on the floor. Called the number and talked to Terry and told him the issues. He stated he would notify the housekeeper and have them come take care of it. Called Terry back on Friday morning and left a voice mail about the housekeeping issues and also to inform him that one of the HVAC systems was not working. By noon we still had no response from anyone. We washed the sheets and the towels, cleaned and disinfected the bathroom and beds ourselves. We stopped by the Vacasa office and expressed our concerns. They called the maintenance man about the HVAC and gave us a credit back for the cleaning issues. The HVAC system was fixed by Friday evening. The house is in great need of a deep clean and general maintenance. There are spots on the carpet, dog hair in the carpet, grease and dust on the kitchen ceiling. Some of the sliding doors had issues locking. Several toilets constantly running, refrigerator didn't cool very well. We made it work and enjoyed watching the dolphins in the morning from the living room and the upper deck.

Enjoyed the house. There were some cosmetic things which could use some attention, like the bugs and paint on the front door. Ceiling in Master Bedroom on third floor, died spiders on ceiling. Cleaning crew left a blanket in the washing machine which had mildewed. We washed it again and put it outside to air out. Dishes were not totally clean. Pots, pans, and flatware. Cleaning crew needs to pay a little more attention to bathrooms to ensure all areas have been cleaned and sanitized properly. We are in an age and time where sanitization is a key and vital part of our lives. Please don't take these items as a major gripe, but these are things which should be monitored to ensure your guess are provided with a top-notch accommodation and safe environment. Overall, everyone enjoyed the stay. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity of staying in your home. Thank you for the lovely gift bag and Thanksgiving roaster and things.

The space was nice for a group of 15, especially the kitchen and living room space. We still had plenty of beds when a maintenance issue happened and made an entire room unusable (AC valve clogged, now fixed). Also very close to the beach and quiet street. Our issues other than the AC leak were kind of "par for the course" on a youth group trip, but they were all disappointing given what we paid to rent the place. The yard is a nice size, but so disappointing not to have the pool when it was 68 degrees outside--it's not "weather dependent," the season ends between Labor Day and Oct 1. We were given a code that didn't work on the locks AT ALL when we arrived, which was after 11pm. Thankfully one of our kids found a door open on the third floor porch (not comforting but helpful). We still couldn't get into the extra bed/bath/kitchen suite because the code didn't work. On top of this issue, they supply only the bare minimum. Beds had a sheet and a thin quilt & some rooms were freezing while others were very warm -- adjusting the thermostat never really fixed it. No hand soap in the bathrooms, not enough towels in each bathroom for the bedrooms there... we had to buy paper towels, extra toilet paper... and it's not expected but it's typical to have some basic spices on hand in a rental.

Property could be kept up better! Entry door area could be cleaned and painted instead of looking barley functional compared to the other houses on the street. The appliances could have actually worked as prescribed by manufacturer ( oven did not heat properly and refrigerator did not get cold) but we made do!

Pearl By The Sea was a wonderful house to spend our Sandbride vacation in! Vacasa (formerly Beach Pros Realty) responded very quickly to a couple of our minor needs and the employees at the local office were consistently pleasant & professional. There were 18 people in our group and everyone agreed we would definitely stay there again. Our only complaint is that the underwater pool light never worked and it did not get repaired as requested. Anyone considering this house for rental will be pleased.

Property was easy to book online drive was not long would recommend to anyone looking to get away

We have a supersized family and there was room for everyone to sleep. A nice upgrade would be fans in the bathrooms. 😏 I liked that there were 2 refrigerators (1 side-by-side and 1 freezer on top). This enabled room for our large pans. The pool and grill were nice as was the fenced-in yard. Easy beach access.

The property has a great location and decent pool. After that there are not many positives. Shower curtains in more than one bathroom had black mold. Management delivered new curtains which we had to install. Dirty cloths from previous guests were found in bedroom drawer. AC did not work in south wing of home. Contractor came out and cleared condenser line but forgot to reattach it which led to water leak in bedroom ceiling. We called maintenance who drove out and parked in street but never came in. One of our guest had to crawl in the service panel to repair the detached piping. Washing machine drum bushing is failing. Repairman came and said only to wash one towel at a time. House can accommodate large group however the grill was 18" x12" and was filthy. New grill was delivered the day before we left. The pool is missing the safety rail for the steps. One person in our party slipped going into the pool. Luckily they did not get insured. Many in our party got ill during our stay. I suspect mold was to blame and have a sneaky suspicion the air filters have not been cleaned in some time. The property needs better oversight and an investment in maintenance to bring it up to a satisfactory level.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this property 2 years ago and were so pleased we rented it again for this year. We were extremely disappointed at the condition of the house. We came in at 4 pm, the cleaning crew left at 4:30 and a different team had to return 2 hours later. I think (and hope) they only changed the bed sheets. The bathrooms were dirty, there was dog hair balls in corners, the broom constantly picked up more pet hair, the refrigerator is way undersized for a house this large, the pool vinyl liner is coming out, the carpet is filthy and should be replaced, overall the house has not been kept up. The baby gates had to be reinforced. The doorknob to the upstairs deck came off. There were no crib sheets provided- and when management was asked for the item, they never got back to us or gave us one. The small fridge provided has broken shelves and a very, very slow ice maker. We purchased batteries for the dead clock and many of the remotes. The televisions didn't have a great signal and most bedroom televisions did not work at all. The WIFI for the house got very slow and weak with so many people on it- so more WIFI should be provided.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and layout of the house are perfect for a large family. We had 16 and there was lots of room. Even though we had to cross the road, it was a short walk to the beach. The decking needs some attention. We found two spindles that could allow a small child to fall through. Both are on the front with one on top deck the second on the lower deck. It would be nice to have a larger bed in the 1st floor right side. The weather was great! The traffic was terrible.

The bed frame was broken on the bed in the basement apt on Saturday. It had screws in it where it had previously tried to be fixed instead of replacing it. Emergency maintenance did not respond until Monday so we slept in an uneven bed. Maintenance put a thin piece of wood under the frame which fell several times throughout the week. They never came back to replace the bed frame.

There was an air conditioner water leak in the kids bedroom. Maintenance came to fix it but it started leaking again a few hours after they left. The kids could not sleep until we got them a fan to block out the water dripping sounds.

As we were trying to pack the car to leave on Saturday, pest control people came and started dumping chemicals all around the front yard and driveway. I asked them if the could come back later and the lady said no but after about 10 minutes they left.

Also, when we arrived there was no toilet paper or complimentary soaps which is unusual as their are usually a few.

Great house, great location. Plenty of gathering space, plenty of private space.Kitchen was well equipped. Very clean and updated. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

The house was perfect for us. It layout had plenty of communal space but bedrooms also allowed private retreat for our adult children and spouses. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes-there was nothing we needed that we didn't find-and all of it was in really good shape. The beach is just across the street and the view from the front bedrooms and common areas was spectacular-clear to the waves crashing on the sand. We visited at Christmas and mid-Covid, so no crowds on the beach and we didn't explore much else in the neighborhood.
