This is a beautiful home right on the beach. Close to the donut and ice cream shop; convenient to the wildlife reserve as well!

Great Week

We have stayed at Dreamsicle 2 years in a row now and we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully we will be able to rent it again next year. The house needs a lot of work. The decks are very nice but, not an alternative during rain. It would be nice to see the main deck ceiling fixed with a drainage ceiling. We arrived a little early and the house was clean and ready. Can't wait til next year!

Perfect Location. Could use minor repairs and upgrades.

The location of this home is perfect! Steps to the beach. This home could use some minor updates/fixes. The toilet paper holders were all broken off the walls. Many of the screens had holes/tears in them. The dishwasher seemed very old & did not clean the dishes well. The microwave is very small. And the shower in the master bathroom is one of the smallest I have ever seen, as there wasn’t even hardly room to turn around or bend down if you happened to drop anything. Of course none of these things were a deal breaker for us, as they were all minor in my opinion. And again, the location of this home is absolutely perfect! We had a great time!

Good location

Easy walk to Trading Post and St. Joe Shrimp. But Vacasa did not respond to text I sent about issues with the house- no propane for the grill, no hangers in the closets, broken sliding glass doors, and burned out lights.

Perfect location

The home itself needs some work. Furniture was dirty, dishwasher did not clean dishes well, dead bugs throughout the house (glad they were dead, but it was still startling). Outdoor furniture was not great either. The location relative to the beach and shopping were perfect. I would stay here again, if the owners could improve these things.
