Great location but needs updating
My first impressions were not good. We originally booked 3 nights with an average of 240 per night, and we later wanted to add another night and were quoted double that for one night (a Monday night). That was ridiculous to me so we declined the extra night. The location was really nice with the beach and water really close by. The place itself was not good. It had a worn out couch, and 3 very hard rope/wicker chairs that hurt to sit on. The bed mattresses were really hard, the bedding was awful and scratchy and only had a sheet and a horrible feeling comforter, the towels and washcloths were thin and very scratchy. The supplied one roll and toilet paper and one very cheap paper towel roll. There were not tissues in the house. The bathtub drained extremely slowly and had obviously been there for probably 30 years. We didn’t use much of the kitchen, but you could tell most of the kitchen stuff was bought at like yard sales. The plastic rocking chairs on the porch were dirty and the one was really broken at the top and couldn’t be used.Needless to say, we will NOT be returning to this place again.

Very cute home with everything you need for the beach, to cook and sleep. Place was clean and the extra blankets were nice. Walking across the sand road to the beach is so ideal we didnt have to haul our gear or even need a canopy. Hoping Buxton beach gets restored soon so we can have longer beach walks south

Great view
We had a really nice stay. The view of the Ocean was amazing. The pool is 11 miles away. We did not read to the bottom to see that it was not by the house.

Vacation
It’s was great stay all together, but was mislead when we booked on Vrbo. The duplex was listed as entire home! But we got lucky and the upstairs guest left the next day we arrived so I didn’t feel I had to keep my kids quiet after that. We did like the location and view was wonderful.

Okay if you don’t want to sit on beach
Overall it was Just “meh”.
The view is great. But the water comes right up to the houses.. so not really anywhere to sit and hang without your things getting washed away. The road was always washed out and in about a foot of water.
The road is also pretty rough. Don’t recommend a car.. it will Bottom out.
Bring buckets, the spigot doesn’t work, and there’s not one near the door or stairs to rinse off with.
Property is dog friendly, which is cool. Until you get the family who leaves all night and leaves their dog in it barking all night long.
We ended up going to Avon for beach time where they had the bigger beaches to hang out on.

Buxton Tower Bottom
Construction: Buxton Tower Top had carpenters replacing all the railings and pickets for the upstairs deck. The arrived every morning Tues-Fri so we could not sleep in or enjoy our bottom deck while construction went on all day. We informed Vacasa Property Management and were offered a 25% refund on the rental for the week which was acceptable to us.
Entrance road was covered by deep sand in places. This was not a problem for us as we brought our Jeep, but if we had brought our sedan, we would not have been able to get to the rental as the road was difficult to navigate unless you used 4WD.
We would come again to Buxton and rent from Vacasa Property Management, but would upgrade from Tower Bottom.

surprised
1) I thought we were getting a single house , not with renters above us with 3 dogs and banging on the floor half the night.
2) No drain stoppers in sink to do dishes.
3) Need to replace living living furniture, you can't expect a family to relax with hard-ass wickard chairs.
4) Not room for two cars when you have other renters upstairs MAKING NOISE!!!!
5) Not enough electrical receptacles
6) not enough porch chairs
7) need to upgrade cookware plus add (more pots, pans ,skillets

Excellent Location
If you want a very short walk to a beach that is beautiful and not crowded, this is the spot.
Things we liked:
1) Location / Neighborhood
2) Parking
3) Quick access to the beach.
4) Short drive to great dining.
Things that we did NOT like:
1) Beds were uncomfortable.
2) The washer and dryer are in a shared location outside (locked room) and below the house.
3) You will hear the folks above you. How much that will interfere with your enjoyment depends on them.
4) Trash truck rolled through at 1230AM. Unknown if that is normal.

Disappointed
The property was clean and very close to the beach, however the upstairs occupants were extremely loud. We couldn’t even get a good nights sleep because of the noise. I would not recommend staying in the bottom unit if you are looking to relax. We actually left a day early because of this.

I was in the bottom half of the duplex. People above me had a dog that urinated on the deck and it hit me. Luckily just my feet but still not pleasant.

Travelled with family, Travelled with family and small children
My family recently stayed at this property. While the house was clean and very close to the ocean we had a negative experience. On Sunday we tried to do laundry and noticed there was a significant issue with the water. It was gushing all over the floor. We called Vacasa on Sunday and they assured us someone would come out. On Monday I called two times and they assured me someone was coming. On Tuesday I called again. At lunch time we heard a backhoe pushing sand out back. To my surprise we were told there was a septic issue and needed to vacate. Vacasa was able to find us another home, but it was much farther south, not as close to the beach and they refused to adequately compensate us for the inconvenience, lost day of our vacation, lost groceries or additional gas needed. I do not recommend Vacasa as their customer service is terrible. Before renting this house I would definitely check to make sure the septic system has been repaired. I would also note the street the house is on has a significant amount of sand and the parking spots are sand and not cement. In my opinion some vehicles may have a hard time getting through the sand.

Simple and chill
Not a lot of beach but perfect for wave watching or fishing. Cute house with just enough amenities. Will stay again. Great for the price.
