Wedding Weekend

Our group came down for my son’s wedding in May of 2025. The location was great, but it was sad to see a once-great house and neighborhood succumbing to a lack of maintenance and repair. 4/5 stars. Several windows wont close and the nooks and crannies all need a good deep-clean.

Nice proximity to the beach but not clean

The kitchen was infested with roaches. The walls had food spills and the furniture had multiple stains. The living room rug was so filthy, we rolled it up to keep the baby from playing on it. There were 5 lights with blown bulbs. The downstairs and master bedroom fans did not work properly. There was mold in the master bath ceiling and the back door lock was broken.we will not rent from them again.

Find a different house

Location, beach and pool were fantastic. Bedrooms/bathrooms were all clean. Layout/space of the house was great. Nice washer/dryer. Walls, furniture, and vents were filthy. We didn’t sit as a family in the family room bc the furniture was so dirty. There isn’t much deck furniture to enjoy any of the decks. We had family close by and could spend time at their house, luckily. Rent your own beach chairs - the ones provided are in disrepair. We didn’t have sinks that drained in the master and the main level of the house was 91 degrees when we checked in. The cleaning people were still there when we arrived at 4:30 and tried calling the property manager for us so we could speak directly with them. They wouldn’t speak to us and instead texted us. After hours of no solution, and multiple calls, we called VRBO to assist. Once we did that, we were able to speak with someone and the air conditioning was eventually fixed that evening. We rent 3-4 properties per year and have never had issues like this before - I would not rent another home managed by Vacasa.

Lovely house

Stayed in this house last year and loved it. This year it is evident that house needs some TLC, such as grout broken in shower, dusty ceiling fans and bathroom vents, and roaches in the kitchen cabinets. Please put out some bait and remedy this problem.

Glynn Cottage

Great, beautiful location, but found that mattress pad revealed old stains after stripping bed as host requested. Intense cleaning needed throughout. Floors needed deep mopping, we don’t wear our shoes inside and our socks were filthy. Furniture throughout also needed cleaning. Pictures can be deceiving. Beautiful location! Management not willing to reimburse cleaning fee due to my reporting of issues upon day of leaving. Lesson learned: read other reviewer comments.

Absolutely perfect!

We were completely impressed with this home. We came to SSI for a family vacation after my son's college graduation. We walked in and it was HUGE! And so clean (which is important to me). Everything about this house was pleasant; the high ceilings, the checkerboard table off the living room, tbe little sitting room downstairs, all of the different patios. We will definitely be back for another visit!

Mother’s Day Weekend

We had an absolutely wonderful time in this amazing VROB. Plenty of room for the entire family. Having bedrooms on different floors with everyone having a private bath was such a bonus. My favorite part was the big kitchen table. Having all our meals with my entire family was priceless. Best Mother’s Day ever!

Great spot.

We loved this house. We had two families of 5 staying for a total of 10 people. Ranging from 2 to 50. The house is very large with modern amenities and clean (we have high standards for cleanliness. The pool is nice and we had a great time meeting other families from the community. It is an extremely short walk to the beach and the beach is nice. You also don’t have to cross any busy streets which is important if you have little kids. We would stay here again.

Pros: We had a great time. The house is located very close to the beach and is a super property. Cons: The ice maker in the fridge did not work, and they could use some extra blankets for the beds.
