Property was adequate but definitely needs updating. Appliances were old and struggling. Patio furniture was lacking…2 tables with no tops, broken umbrellas. Needs overall painting. Lamps broken, burned out lightbulbs. Elevator worked but light didn’t so we couldn’t use it. No broom. Developed 2 significant leaks from rain in master and first floor bedroom. We spent an entire day dealing with wet towels and emptying bowls and pans from the leaks. Reported the leaks immediately and NO ONE ever called or came out to help us the entire week. I had to initiate every communication with Vacasa to no avail. After much complaining they agreed to refund one days rent which I still haven’t received. Our stay was the week of Sept 23 and this is Nov 9! We like Coast Cottages but will never rent thru Vacasa again! Renters Beware….

Beautiful house with plenty of room!
The home is beautiful! It looked very clean. Every room has its own bathroom. The convenience of provided towels, washcloths, and linens was a plus. Two washers and dryers were also great. There were 4 laundry tabs provided for each washer, which was perfect for our 4 night stay. (I forgot my detergent). My husband and I had the third floor suite. It had its own little dorm size fridge and sink in the bedroom. The bathroom was immaculate. It had 2 vanities, (3 sinks)huge corner tiled shower, and big jacuzzi tub. The toilet is in a separate little room beside bathroom…perfect! The house has balconies with plenty of seating on every level. Plenty of beach towels were readily available on a shelf when you exit for a day at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. The private access to pool (ONE OF THE POOLS IS CLOSED with what seems to be a pretty big repair) and beach was great. The beach didn’t seem crowded at all. There are a couple of issues that need to be addressed. The freezer drawer was a little tricky to open and the ice maker didn’t consistently make ice. We had to make sure the refrigerator door was completely pushed closed or it wouldn’t seal and close properly. The extra ice maker on the other counter didn’t work…not a deal breaker, just would’ve been nice to have that ice to fill cooler for beach. A tile in the upstairs suite bathroom is broken in front of the shower and is loose.(Just a little note to owners for safety purposes) Overall…beautiful home!

I WILL NEVER RENT WITH VACASA AGAIN!
The house was ok. Definitely needed improvements. Vents were filthy with dust. Back outdoor deck and roof deck were unusable. Master bed in upstairs bedrooms was awful - mattress was saggy and our friends slept horribly each night. Definitely not oceanfront. Front outdoor deck was nice. Kitchen was well stocked. But my biggest disappointment is the management service. My daughter left her orthodontic retainers by accident and I contacted Vacasa immediately. I had to pay $32 to send someone to look for the retainers. They found them after 4 days and said they would mail them to me. They continually promised that they would mail them to me and they never did. So now in addition to the 6k I paid for this house and the $32 I paid for someone to locate our missing items, I have to pay $500 for new retainers since no one on the Vacasa management team is capable of putting 2 retainer cases in the mail. What a joke. I will NEVER rent with Vacasa again.

Weekend get away
The house was beautiful and was very spacious with awesome amenities. The only complaint that we had was the musty smell that welcomed us upon arrival. I imagine the house had been closed up for a while, so we opened doors and let the house air out. That really did help a lot. We live near the coast as well, so we understand that there will be wear and tear on a beach house. We loved our stay and would definitely book this house again. We did not use the elevator while staying because we receiived a message stating that the phone system in the elevator was not working. It's close to the beach and we loved that the development was so small and cozy...1 road in and 1 road out. Would really love to take our grandchildren back for a beach weekend.

Great location but worn out
This place is in a great location, I'll give it that.. but its worn. Weekly, daily rentals has this home needing some TLC. The bedding, the beds, the furniture, the kitchen ... all worn. The cooktop couldn't boil water so the management company brought in temporary burners to assist. Looks like a leaky roof or door somewhere as there is a hardwood mold spot at the patio door. I can easily see how this would be a great house, it just needs some work to make it a great place to rent.

Nice house and layout
Overall a great layout for the house. It was very convenient to have the elevator as well for elderly family. Could use a little updating of some of the items in cleaning of others but overall a decent place.

Great Location - Perfect House for a big family vacation
The property for its value is amazing. Based on other reviews I was surprised at how great the house was - it’s a perfect spot on the island that’s 3-5 minutes from all the main restaurants and has great pool and beach access. We stayed with 7 of us including 2 infants and it was perfect for everyone to have their own space. We would come back for sure!
