Gem on the beach!

The house itself is lovely, and we enjoyed the easy access to so much beachfront right out the deck and down the boardwalk. It had everything we needed for meals at the house--with the exception of a coffee pot. As we unpacked our first day, we realized there was no coffee pot with the coffee maker. We let Vacasa know after not finding one in the dishwasher or cabinets. We were assured by four different people via text & app that it would be taken care of ASAP. And, I was impressed with the guest care--four quick replies! However, on our last day, we still did not have a coffee pot. Thankfully, there is a very cute bakery, The Lighthouse Bakery, not too far away, so we went there daily to get our morning coffee. Not on our original agenda, but it worked out okay. Getting a coffee pot to the rental does not seem like it would be a difficult fix, so I'm not sure how it never got done. Hopefully, it will be taken care of for the next guests! (Also, if we had ended up speaking with someone, we also would have let them know that the water filter on the refrigerator dispenser needs to be changed--the red indicator light comes on when you press the button for water. And, that might be the reason the water comes out of the dispenser at a trickle?). We really did enjoy our stay and the property--it was just those couple little things that needed tending to--and seem super easy to fix!

A very nice stay

My family enjoyed a very nice stay here for spring break. The house was great, the beach was amazing and private… Everything we hoped for except one thing…the internet and WiFi issues that we were told were normal and couldn’t be resolved. Cellular was also spotty so we couldn’t use our hotspots. This made it difficult to watch family movies on a few nights and impossible to work remotely.

Looks good from the outside.

Sea of Love looks like a dream house but it does have some problems. The couches are so low it kills your knees and back to sit and stand, especially for old people. The flooring is quite cheap and is just laying on the sub floor so it makes strange noises when you step on it. The decking has been nailed instead of screwed so it’s already starting to warp. It will definitely not hold up to those elements. The tv does not have any local channels, just streaming provided by the renters. Not acceptable at this price point. There was no guide explaining restaurants, local attractions, check out procedure, how to work the tv etc. Last pet peeve, single ply toilet paper. Really? On a positive note the unit is spacious, great location, good fishing, and well equipped.

Much needed vacation!

Loved this house! I have never stayed so close to the beach! Loved not having to deal with walking forever in the sand to get there. Just a few steps off the back deck and there you are! Location was awesome, very clean, & stocked with everything we needed. There were also a few games to play. Loved the huge table on the balcony & enjoyed the swing also. It was convenient to be able to store our chairs under the house and also could play cornhole. Only thing was it needed to be cleaned or raked under there. Due to being a new build, we found lots of nails to have to pick up. I'm still giving this house a 5 star.
