The location is beautiful and the outdoor setting is wonderful. The floors were pretty dirty however, my poor crawling baby had black knees, hands and feet from crawling around. The floors just need some good mopping. Other than that the house is clean.

Overall it was a great experience! The home is beautiful and had all the things we needed for a comfortable stay. It was a very cool property with some out buildings that made us curious to know the history of it. Seemed like maybe a bit of a homestead which we loved. The area felt secluded but in a way that still felt very safe. We could see renting it again as well as “little tides” so some more family could come. The living room and kitchen were great for entertaining a large group.(The tv was a bit glitchy off and on but it was not a big deal.)

Beautiful and quiet. Great location and would most definitely stay again when visiting the south sound. Our yorkie had a great time and met some nice dogs next door. Actually the only neighbor we saw. One complaint: the water system is poor. Hard to control shower temp to the point it is frustrating.

FALSE ADVERTISING - MISLEADING PHOTOS

PROPERTY 1783126 Reservation ID NBMMGAQH 2/17/23-2/23/23 The photographs feature a fireplace in the living room, as well as it is high lighted in the written description. The 2nd paragraph states; “The living room area offers a tasteful interior décor and comfortable furnishings strategically located near the fireplace and flatscreen TV for your convenience.” Upon arrival it was obvious that VACASA & the owners know the fireplace was not functional. The fireplace was disconnected and the instructional booklet inside the home stated; “Do not use the fireplace as it is not for guest use and is not hooked up.” When Donna at VACASA was contacted by text, she simply restated the obvious, the fireplace was not functional. She then referred me to the 800# of VACASA, who told me that because it was not listed in the amenities section that it was not required to work. Customer Service then attempted to contact the “local VACASA” rep, well that was just a circle Jerk! I have difficulty understanding why I (the consumer who keeps VRBO & VACASA in $) should have to verify that a featured “amenity” was in fact something that works? It might be understandable if a guest arrived and the dishwasher or other amenity had recently broke. Based on the in-home instruction booklet, the fireplace has been unusable for quite some time. It is my opinion that this should be noted in BOLD CAPITALS that the fireplace is nonfunctional, in the property description. I have photos as proof of this.

Nice place and views but needs some maintenance.

Overall a pleasant stay. The place can use some updates and maintenance, for example almost all outlets in the living room will not hold a plug. Dimmers, door handles, beds, dimmers, the bbq, and umbrellas need attention, among other things. There was an issue with ants on the counters that management is aware of and trying to address. Several outdoor lights were burned out. The welcome basket, juke box, and phonograph are really nice touches. Over-all would stay again but cleanliness and maintenance issues need to be addressed.

Loved the Record Collection

What a great home to stay in, enjoy the water and views, and take in the amazing record collection. The jukebox is there too, with an excellent selection of music, but it was so enjoyable to listen to entire albums. There is an excellent "listening chair" looking straight out to the water, with the doors wide open. Walks on the beach and kayaking rounded out a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. I'll be back!

Pictures don’t do it justice ❤️

We had a wonderful 3 days with our children. It was a beautiful atmosphere for my husband to work and my kids to do their homeschool. They had so many unforgettable experiences; learning about how the tide comes and goes, shellfish, a legit record player, and a jukebox. We will be back for sure! Thank you for sharing your home during these crazy times.
