Great Location - Home A Bit Worn
We loved the location, but the home was loaded with spiders, most appliances did not work (dishwasher did not work, blender, toaster oven, the stove top only half worked) - plus the pots were scratched (and with Teflon not useable) The shower door was broken and would not close, the toilet paper roll holder had no dowel to hold roll, toilet seat very loose, door frames were chipped and dirty, hold in wall next the bed in room with bunkbeds, laundry closet had missing doors.

Comfortable but not what you expect
It took me a bit of time to post this review because of an incident that was incredibly uncomfortable at the property. On the first evening of our stay, I was prompted by text to rate the cleanliness of the property and I responded honestly with a mediocre rating based on the cob-webs, moldy smells and greasy hand prints across walls. Much to my surprise (and everyone in my group), while we were eating dinner on the back patio a complete stranger stormed into the backyard confronting my guests about the rating without identifying herself or advising me that a visit would be made by a property manager. My guest calmly brought her to me inside where I was cleaning up some of the food, and she demanded that I walk her around right then and explain to her my rating. I did and it was extremely uncomfortable! My guests were prepared to call the police and we were all very frightened by the confrontation. Thankfully she left after I showed her the various issues.
The pictures on the site are definitely not accurate- the house is a bit run down, couch is broken, bathroom fixtures are ripped off the wall, hot tub is questionable, and the kitchen stove is broken. The room accessed off the deck has major mold issues, you can smell it when you open the door and you can see mold built up in the ac unit. As such we did not use this space at all. The house overall is alright, just keep your expectations in check, understand that it is a beach house and a rental property used by many others

Good Time
The house was clean. Communication with management company was subpar. We got scripted responses to all questions, and false information. For example, we asked if hot tub was working and was told it was. When we arrived, the hot tub was broken and dirty. Also, check-out is at 10am and there is nowhere to leave belongings if you’d like to stay in FI for the day. They should allow a place to keep luggage prior to departure. Overall, great and clean house and amazing location!

Pleasant Stay due to Accommodating Management
Prior to my stay I saw a review on the property stating that this place was a mess and that there were several issues with the house. Naturally this concerned me, so I contacted the property manager and voiced my concern. The property manager was incredibly helpful, and always made himself available to me.
Upon arrival, I was happy to find that the house was clean, and just about how I expected it to be. The hot tub was not working, but the property manager made sure that our group was compensated for the issue. Overall a great place to stay with a large group; the location is perfect, the deck is great, and the management was more than accommodating to make sure my needs were met.

Misleading
This house is misleading and deceiving. We were EXTREMELY disappointed when we walked in. On the day of check-in, we received a message that the hot tub was not in service. When we walked into the house, there was a load of laundry currently in the washing machine, as well as a pile of DIRTY laundry. Quality and cleanliness of the home was not to standard.

Bad Experience
The location of the house was great! small, quiet area however we did not have a great experience. We booked this home a few months in advance. 3 hours before our check in time we were notified that the hot tub was out of service, turns out it just wasn’t cleaned. Upon entering the home, it was a mess as well. Bathrooms were filthy and kitchen counters were sticky. There was also no cleaning supplies so we needed to buy our own and clean the house that WE pay for a cleaning fee for…. There was old drinks/beer in the fridge along with dirty tissues? We found cameras inside of the home filming us throughout the trip. 1. not only are you not allowed to have cameras in the home for privacy reasons but 2. it is against the rules of the company. Both back doors were open when coming into the house, which poses a saftey issue. We were also told that there was a working grill so we brought a ton of grilling supplies and food just to find out that the grill was out of service as well. Not only was it out of service but it was rusty, not cleaned from prior uses and had pools of water inside. 2 out of 4 stove tops are out of order. Imagine trying to cook for 8 people like that. Also, all smoke detectors in the house had no batteries inside of them. That is a safety hazard!!! Big heavy closet doors were off the hinges and just sitting on the wall which is also a hazard for kids. I am so disappointed about this house.

Work in Progress
The house location and size is great but renovations are incomplete - exterior doors that don't lock, missing window screens, construction trash out back. Biggest issue was a broken AC unit in the main room which was never fixed despite many texts, visits from workmen etc. The customer service from Vacasa was non-existent. Hope they can get it together!

Great stay!
I stayed with my family, which includes 2 small children. The house was perfect for us. There are enough rooms to accommodate multiple families comfortably. The back deck was very large and the hot tub was a great feature. At night the deck lights made rainbow colors, the kids loved this feature!
This listing did not have a lot of reviews when we booked, so I wasn't sure about a few things, but was happy that we found this listing last minute.
Some info for future guests:
-About a 7 minute walk from the ferry. Shorter walk if you are going from the house to the start of the town (opposite side of ferry).
-Same amount of walking to get to the beach. The house is on the bay side, there is one swimming option for the bay side, it is off the deck closer to town with a lifeguard present.
-There are most things that are needed in the kitchen. Random spices, coffee filters, tin foil, pots/pans, reg coffee pot and Keurig machine. There are only ice trays, no ice maker, so plan accordingly.
-It was mentioned, but the room with the blue couch is on the other side of the deck, so kind of detached from the house. We only used it for the bathroom when in the hot tub.
-Plenty of towels! Also, extra blankets, and pillows if you need.
-All AC units worked well.
-WIFI worked great in the house.
-Small soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided.
A few suggestions that I have:
-New pans for the kitchen. They are very scratched up and the Teflon is scratching off. This may not bother some, just something I noticed.
-There are about 4 beach chairs. We only used 2 of them, so I'm not sure of the condition of all of them. But they did seem like they were on their last leg, and some, missing the back pack straps to carry with more ease.
-There were NO beach umbrellas. I specifically asked about this (because it was not listed on the listing), and was told there was one.
-Neither umbrella on the deck works properly. The large navy one did not open, and seemed to be missing a major piece. The tan one was on such a wobbly stand, that it was a danger to have open. It is hard to enjoy the beautiful deck, when it is very sunny and hot.
-The couch with the blue cushions was very nice, but can use some upgraded cushions. They were very flat and it was uncomfortable to sit on.
-The hot tub did not get very hot. It was comfortable, but only went to about 85 degrees (this could be a pro or a con).
-The WIFI router is on the opposite side of the house, which made the reception a
