Great Location but Bee-ware
First the positives: The house location is great, walkable to the beach and in a nice, family neighborhood. The size was just big enough for our small family with plenty of TVs (if everyone wants to watch something different) and great Wifi. It’s also great to have use of the beach caddy/chairs especially if you are not driving to the house for your vacation. Now, the negatives, that sadly outweigh the positives: The only access to the house is via old wooden stairs in desperate need of repair (not sure they would pass any code) that have been eaten away at by a swarm of carpenter bees. The deck in both the front & back are also old wood with swarming bees making the use of the outside sadly impossible. You have to dodge giant bees entering & leaving the front door and we didn't even get to enjoy the pool. Also, it should be noted that the game room in the garage is not accessible from inside the house. You have to go out the bee-infested front entry, down the precarious wooden stairs, unlock the side garage door, then open the back garage door. This is the only access to the backyard as well. There is no access to the pool/yard from the kitchen sliders/deck. Be aware that the bunk beds are incredibly squeaky and unsleep-able. Luckily our daughter was able to sleep in the Queen bed which was very comfortable. It would also be nice if they provided more garbage bags and cleaning supplies to keep your space clean. This is a long review, but I am hoping to help families plan.

Great for families
House was great for our short trip to St. Augustine. About 10-15 minutes from the historical area. The house was equipped with most needs ( a few more cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice). The house was a few blocks from the ocean, straight shot from closest East West cross street bonus you can drive on the beach with the appropriate vehicle. The downstairs game room was great. We didn't use the pool, but the whole outdoor area is well equipped for the whole family. We would definitely rent this property again it was a quiet location but close enough to everything we wanted to do.

Amazing location and amenities!
This was a great stay. The house was exceptionally clean and furnished with an in-ground pool, fenced in yard and super close to the Butler Beach and a Cuban cafe for early morning coffee or a Mexican restaurant for some quick eats. Everything is supplied and in great shape. All you need are groceries, sun block and a fun attitude. There’s a great putt-putt course down the road and lots of places along the beach to swim and surf in, grab shells or sea glass, and walk the estuary. I’d recommend you bring your bikes if so inclined. I was trying to book again, but they’re already booked so if you see the week you want, grab it. This place was a real gem. I’m a single dad with two teens and a little dog and it was worth every mile and dollar to be here. We had the best time!!

Had better expectations
After reading several positive reviews about this property, we were excited to stay here. Overall, the house is nice. Feels like newer construction. TVs in every room and a private pool out back. The bad news is that the house was infested with bugs. Ants, fleas, gnats, you name it….it was there. Contacted the property rep who said they would reach out to an exterminator. Never heard back. We all have bug bites all over and we had to throw away a lot of food that got covered in ants. There’s no pantry to keep food in. The ants are obviously a known problem as there were already ant baits out on the counter when we got there. But fleas and other bugs too? In the beds and on the living room seats? Understand this is a pet friendly house, but obviously someone had a dirty animal. Although the cleaning company did okay, there was still a bunch of dog hair on the floor. Also, two days after the pool was “cleaned” which included a VERY heavy dose of chemicals and chlorine so strong we could barely swim in it, a landscaper came and cut grass. Blew tons of lawn clipping in the pool and all over the pool deck. Because the pool is cleaned on Mondays, it remained filthy the rest of the time we were there. I don’t fault the property owner for any of this. This is typical of big vacation companies like Vacasa. Mediocre property management at best and poor response when there’s an issue. Lastly, you get one tiny outdoor trash can for the entire week. Needless to say, it was overflowing by mid week, and on checkout day, we got to clean up trash that had been torn through by raccoons. Who can blame them? We had no choice but to leave trash on the ground. This place has a lot of potential, but needs a more attentive property manager or the owner needs to be more aware of the issues that are being ignored by the property manager.

Wanted to love it, but ☹️
House itself was as advertised—clean and in a nice neighborhood. However, upon arrival, the pool (main reason we booked this property) was green with algae along the sides and bottom. Had sample tested—no chlorine!!! After numerous messages, the pool was shocked on day 3, but not actually cleaned, so of course the issue was never fully resolved during our week-long holiday stay. Ultimately, we did receive a credit for the poor condition of the pool. Unfortunately, however, we do not recommend this property if being able to use the pool is important to you.

Worst vacation rental I have ever had. Vacasa was horrible to deal with.
We arrived on Saturday June 25. Upon arrival we were met with 3 large outdoor trash bins overflowing with garbage that smelled as it had been there for weeks. You have to walk past it to get in the house. It was disgusting. The advertised sparkling pool was covered in green algae. I wouldn’t let a dog swim in that. The main reason we rented this house was for the pool for our 10 year old granddaughter. I immediately called Vacasa and was told they would get someone out that afternoon. No one ever came. I called and texted every single day multiple times a day and no one ever Showed up from Vacasa to Get the trash or service the pool. Garbage pick up was on Monday and we took all that trash to the street. I will add that there were 6 of us in the house and we didn’t fill up one of those bins the entire week. So, I wonder how long that trash had been out there. The algae continued to get worse and still nobody came to clean the pool. Our granddaughter was heartbroken. Finally, by Tuesday night someone at Vacasa calls me back and offers a forced move. Of course, a week before July 4 th, there were no other comparable houses available. The advertised gas grill was so nasty it couldn’t be used. Some of the outdoor furniture needs to be disposed of. My husband fell out of one of the Adirondack chairs that was broken when he sat down not seeing it was broken. Luckily he was not hurt. Vacasa finally issued a partial refund, but I feel it wasn’t enough. We would have gone somewhere else to stay if we could have found something. On numerous occasions I asked Vacasa to have a manager calle me. My requests were totally ignored. I sent them daily pictures of the pool and they never sent anyone out to clean the pool.I kept getting canned text responses saying a ticket had been created and someone would get back to me. My husband ended up buying a pool brush, and the necessary pool chemicals to clean the pool himself ( we had our own pool for over 30 years)so our granddaughter could swim the last 2 days we were there. I was so stressed at the end of the week from trying to get a response from Vacasa, I need another vacation. I will say that the house itself is lovely and the interior was clean. But, with all the other issues, my vacation was ruined.
