Great neighborhood for beach getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Escape from the Storm! The neighborhood was a great distance from the beach, so we didn't even drive our car...just walked with our gear. The home was cute and had everything we needed!

Very great experience loved the location and the ease it took to get to the beach

Had a great time, we went down for a wedding so close enough it was a quick beach drive to the venue. The house was clean, we needed more towels only had 3 total but had the washer and dryer so did laundry while we were there, another down fall was the coach was ripped and if you sat on that area it would get debris all over your clothes.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We will make sure the home is supplied with towels for the whole ground and suggest to the homeowner that the couch is replaced or repaired. We hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to be able to host you again in the future.

Nice Location

Great location. If you plan to stay longer you will need to bring along your own amenities. We stayed 5 nights and were left only 2 rolls of toilet paper, 4 towels, no coffee filters. There was only one pan with no handle…..Could have been a little cleaner, just felt like things could have been wiped down, there was bird poop all over the deck railing. Other than that, it was a nice location. Relatively clean. Easy check-in and host was very receptive.

Thank you for your feedback, Kim. We understand that cleanliness is of utmost importance and we deeply regret that the home was not up to your expectations upon arrival. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide to our valued guests. Rest assured, we have taken your comments seriously and have addressed the matter with our cleaning crew to ensure this is an isolated incident. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.

Windows

The windows were very dirty and couldnt see the view clearly. Noticed the other property windows around us were gleaming. The balcony table had bbq sauce or something very hard stuck on it.

Weekend with friends.

We had a wonderful stay! The property owner even called to check in with us to make sure everything was ok! I loved the personal touch. The only thing I would suggest is maybe have some extra pillows available. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.

Girls weekend!!

Quick weekend getaway with the girls. Home was well kept and convenient to the beach. A/C cooled great, extra fans available, clean and comfy. Owner checked in with us by phone on the night of our arrival. We had a great stay and will look at them for future visits to the beach!! (Note for owner: I emailed Vacasa regarding this, but want to make sure you see it. The railing on the front porch/balcony was lose and needs to be secured)

Nice Beach House

We enjoyed our time at this beach house. It was clean and had nearly everything we needed. It was in a good location. The only thing that needs to be clarified is that it is indeed a short walk to the beach, but there is no beach access for your vehicle from the neighborhood.
