Not very clean. Mold all around master bathroom tub. Super gross. My kid’s socks were completely black from walking around the house. Location and views were amazing though.
The property was lovely, with plenty of space for us and our dog. The outdoor shower and patios provided easy access to the beach, and the house boasted a beautiful view. Would definitely stay again.
Our beach house stay was exactly what we needed and the house accommodated well- comfortable bed, full kitchen and a great living area to watch shows after a full day of being outdoors.
We enjoyed grilling outside and rented beach equipment that was delivered very conveniently.
If you’re looking for updated appliances or newly renovated, this is not the place. However, it is clean and comfortable and has all the necessary amenities right on the water with great views. Great value for the area.

Hi, Salvatore, thank you for your review, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your time with us. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you!
The house was beautiful and just steps to the beach. This house has a direct boardwalk out to the beach. It is 3 stories with 2 bedrooms on the 1st, living room and kitchen on the 2nd and extra bedroom on the 3rd. It was very clean and check in was easy. We will definitely be staying here again.

It is so wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay at A Sea of Sand & Stars, Anna! It is a great home and we appreciate the kind review. We look forward to seeing you and your family in the future!
Couldn't have asked for a better location - right on the beach and we could walk to dinner several nights. Loved watching the waves while sipping morning coffee on the deck. This unit does not have a gate on the deck stairs so if you have pets or babies/toddlers you will want to bring one or rent one. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the house, view was amazing, beds and linens were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, short walk to the lighthouse park, our dog enjoyed it, Blue Parrot was close by, great place to eat. Location was central to everything that you need. The only thing that I would change is the park style grill, it really needs to be a weber or something like that. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for renting out your beautiful home.
I love the location. It’s just you guys. I’ve got to get an exterminator in there. There are German cockroaches and I was a little scared of bringing some home.

We deeply apologize for the pest issues you experienced during your stay and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Our homes are treated quarterly for pests, and our property manager has assured us that they are taking preventative measures to combat the entrance of unwanted critters. Please know that this has been forwarded to our local team to avoid future complaints. We do hope we will have another chance to host you next time.
Pros: Location, comfortable beds, tile throughout, well-stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, extra towels
Cons: Could be cleaner (mold on shower curtain, dirt in corners of floors, sand in sheets, a few bugs, property needs to be cleaned up, remotes needed batteries, ROKU is nonfunctional, cabinets and fixtures in bath and kitchen need upgraded. No deal breakers but we prefer not to have to clean on arrival.

Thank you so much for your review D! We pride ourselves on the maintenance and cleanliness of our homes, that's why we offer a 24 hour on call service. We wish you would have called to let us know of these issues and we would have sent someone down to take care of them immediately. We have taken your input and made sure the appropriate departments are aware and are being sent out to get these issues taken care of so other guests do not have the same experience. We again thank you for your feedback and we hope you give us another chance to really WOW you on your next stay.

The good - locationThe bad- the home needed repairs and kitchen was not well stocked (missing kitchen shears )etc. The front door was hard to open and was a safety issue. The big issue was the AC didn’t work the first night and they didn ’t come to fix until the next day. Then after a couple days the AC stopped working again. And we were not offered fans and portable ACs until we asked for them. They finally replaced the AC but it was a struggle for us and it interfered with our vacation. I don’t recommend this place.

Great price for location, but BEWARE COCKROACHES!
For the price you paid, the house and location are reasonable. HOWEVER, we saw so many cockroaches. All over the house and varying in sizes. It was so so so gross. Before booking, I’d ask for proof of an exterminator. Unfortunately, the dishwasher also leaks into the downstairs foyer when it runs. We notified Vacasa of the leak and they said they would send someone and never did. Vacasa is also REALLY hard to get in touch with. If this home had some general repairs, a routine exterminator come, and a different management company it would be a nice place to stay.

Laura, thank you for being our guest and taking the time to share your feedback. We are disheartened to read that you experienced issues that kept you from fully enjoying your stay. Our local manager assured us that a new dishwasher has been installed and the issue with pests has been resolved. They noted that the local office is open 7 days/week from 8:30 to 5 and is located across the street and two blocks from the home. We hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.
