This property and its layout was perfect for a large group, and the theme decor was perfect for the area. There were eight of us, and it was spacious and well laid out so that there was no feeling of crowding. (One more chair in the living room would be great, tho.). It has a large kitchen for cooking, which was great as we were there for a full week for Thanksgiving.
A little more attention could be paid to the condition (cleanliness and damaged state) of the cookware and the linens in the house, as the towels in the kitchen and the washcloths in each room were very dingy and stained, and some of the stained bedding should be replaced. (We ended up buying our own kitchen linens for the week.) There were also not enough coffee mugs for eight people, but we ended up purchasing some as souvenirs and got by. When we arrived the coffee table had a broken leg, and we “limped" through the week, but it was a bit stressful worrying about drinks and meals potentially being spilled if it finally gave way fully. The overall property was very clean, however.
We ended up purchasing a number of cooking items for the kitchen and just ended up leaving them, so the next person will be a little better set!
I know that Vacasa has a very minimal list of kitchen inventory that they commit to, and I wish that wasn’t the case for such a large property that can accommodate large groups. We typically rent based on the kitchen and entertaining areas.
The beach was an easy stroll to the end of the street and then up over the dune. It is a lovely and stunning walk.
Overall I would recommend this property for large groups that are either family or friends. The room layout and number of bathrooms afforded a lot of privacy. Also had a full laundry area - very convenient!
I saw other comments about the construction on the property next-door. It looks like it should be done within a few months, which will probably be a relief to future renters. Thankfully there were only three workdays that overlapped our time, and unfortunately on our first full day the crew from the construction took one of our garbage cans and we ran out of places to put the garbage from 7 days, 8 ppl, and lots of holiday cooking. We did not feel that it was our place to address it or go to that property to get it back, but reported it to Vacasa. We ended up having to leave some of our garbage in the kitchen area, fridge and garage upon checkout as there was nowhere to put it.
