We had a wonderful time at Once Upon A Beach—it was just what we needed and more! The cozy home was just a few steps from the beautiful AMI beach, making it truly memorable getaway. We’re already looking forward to staying again!

We loved our time at Casa Mariposa. Great location. The pool was warm and clean. The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Plenty of space (seating areas, tables, TVs), especially the screened-in balconies.

Thank you for the feedback, Craig! We enjoyed having you and the family at Casa Mariposa! We invite you to come stay with us at Once Upon A Beach any time!
Overall the house was just okay. The location can’t be beat. We had an issue with the fridge which spoiled all of our food (around 175) on the first day. Once upon a beach insisted it was normal, but after I asked for someone to come out, the fan motor was broken. The kitchen has few amenities - none of the Tupperware has matching lids, no tinfoil / bags, and a very hodgepodge collection of everything else. We had two rolls of paper towels and two garbage bags for the week *maybe thats standard? but for a "luxury" listing seems meek). The shed is a mess - one bike has slashed tires, and the two that don’t have flat tires and both pumps in the shed don’t work. It’s disorganized and also a hodgepodge. They give you a credit to rent items, but I only rented one bike because it said there were others at the house. So I had to go rent other bikes, which is a waste of time and money. The pool is not secure. The wires on the porch are sagging which allow children to climb up and down which was a major safety concern for us the whole time. In general the maintenance of the house could use attention. The pool was cleaned the second day we got here which was nice, but then the yard cleaners came right after and leaf blew everything back into the pool lol. Overall if I had paid half the amount for this rental it would have been okay, but for the price I am disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We genuinely appreciate the feedback, especially when it highlights areas where expectations were not met. I want to address each of your concerns with clarity and context.
First, regarding the refrigerator. While this type of concern is most often resolved through normal stabilization after stocking, based on our experience, we still chose to act outside of that typical expectation to support you. We responded immediately after hours and expedited our appliance vendor to the home within just a few hours of your arrival to ensure there was no underlying issue. At the time, the refrigerator was reading at 40 degrees, which falls within a normal operating range, but we moved forward with service anyway out of an abundance of caution. This is also why we include detailed pre-arrival guidance around refrigerator use, as this scenario is something we commonly see and it resolves in the vast majority of cases without intervention. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we could step in and assist right away.
In terms of kitchen supplies and household items, what you described aligns with what is outlined prior to arrival. The home is stocked with a starter set of essentials, including paper towels, garbage bags, and basic kitchen items, with the expectation that guests will replenish as needed during their stay. While we aim to provide a well-equipped kitchen, items like storage containers can vary and are not guaranteed to be uniform sets.
For the bikes and shed, we do note in advance that bikes are provided as a convenience and may require maintenance, and we ask that any issues be reported so we can address them. We did not receive communication during your stay regarding the condition of the bikes or pumps, and we would have absolutely stepped in to resolve that just as we did with the refrigerator.
Regarding the pool and cleanliness, you are correct that the timing of the lawn service impacted the pool after it had been cleaned. Had we been notified, we would have sent the pool team back out to correct it. The same applies to the general maintenance concerns and organization of the shed, which we actively manage but rely on real-time communication to address during a stay.
The safety concern you mentioned with the porch wiring is something we take seriously and are addressing immediately with our team.
As noted throughout the pre-arrival materials and rental agreement signed prior to your stay, many of these items, including starter supplies, bike use, and general home provisions, are outlined to help set clear expectations. That said, we would have truly appreciated the opportunity to address the additional concerns you experienced while you were in the home. Just as we did with the refrigerator, we are always willing to step in quickly and make things right when given the chance.
Overall, the experience you described does not reflect the standard we aim to deliver, and we will be reviewing both the home and these details internally.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your feedback.
Awesome house in a perfect location. Will stay here again.

True to its name, Casa. Mariposa sits on a treat and plant filled lot that can’t help but attract butterflies! The property was tastefully decorated and spotless.

Our family vacationed here for the week. The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the beach or nearby shops and restaurants. We traveled with small children and cooked almost every meal at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals which was nice. The pool house was filled with toys, beach chairs, bicycles, and more for outdoor fun. Another plus were the screened in porches which gave us additional room to enjoy the outdoors insect free.
