Great

The Good: Pool was quite nice. Elevator helpful for the grandmas and to take luggage and groceries up. Big beds were comfortable. Jacuzzi tub was clean and wonderful. Location was good with walkability to shops and restaurants (although the Scallywag bar across the street plays music on weekend nights so if you sleep early, bring earplugs). The washer/dryer work well. The Bad: This house needs a deep clean. The cleaning crew did an absolutely good job with surface cleaning. But the rugs/carpet are pretty dirty in general. The living room furniture was somewhat dirty and the couches were particularly in need of replacement. The internet was very slow making it hard to watch a movie. The kitchen stove dial numbers are worn off so you can't tell what knob goes with what burner or what is high or low. The dishwasher isn't stable and is pretty worn out. The bunk beds have flimsy mattresses and the day bed in one bunk room has a very bad mattress; there was vinyl padding peeling off the bed frame all around it. Lastly, some of the porch chairs are pretty worn and mildewed. At this price point I would have expected better. The Ugly: This property is managed by Vacasa which is based in Oregon. When we arrived, we needed sheets for the pull-out couch for the kids to sleep on. Reached out to Vacasa and after recordings and texting, finally got sheets after 3 nights without them (out of our 5 night stay). If you need any customer service, don't expect it to be easy.

We really enjoyed our stay. Needed the check out email earlier in the day because we exited early morning and didn’t read that I needed to check out until after our 6 hour car ride!!

large home; 2 decks. Beautiful view and right in the middle of Surf City

The location of this house is great. The beach is beautiful and the pool will be nice to have in the summer. It is in the center of Surf City near the pier, Soundside Park, many restuarants, coffee shops, bars and ice cream stores. The house has four nice bedrooms. The fifth bedroom appears to be a storage room with a bunk bed in it. There is no window in the room and no bathroom on that floor. The room has a door to the outside in it. I would not be comfortable with young children sleeping there. The Kitchen was well stocked but we had problems with the dishwasher not cleaning and the ice maker leaked into the freezer. Hoping these issues will be fixed soon, I have rented the house again this summer!
