Great location but terrible management

I’ll start by saying the location is great! That’s about the only great experience of this place! The home is a little run down and has a few broken things inside! Shower drain was clogged with hair! Ceiling in the kitchen has what looks like water damage and mold and it’s flaking off! Checked in and the house was 80 degrees, figured maybe they just turned the air on before check in so we gave it an hour to start cooling down! Instead it went up to 82 degrees! I called Vacasa and told them the issue and they said they would get ahold of the local manager and have the air resolved! ** after reading the latest review it’s apparent that the AIR WASNT WORKING FOR THE PREVIOUS GUEST AND THEY NEVER FIXED IT! Called Vacasa help line numerous times throughout the evening and it was the same routine, they would say can I put you on hold while I try to reach the local manager! I’d sit on hold for 15-20 minutes and they would come back on the line and say, “we can’t reach the local manager but a ticket has been created to get the air fixed”! The home got up to 86 degrees! Half the windows wont open! Woke up the next morning and drove to the local vacas office! Knocked on the door and no one answered! There’s a number on the door you can call to reach them so I called and no answer! I proceeded to call atleast 10 times and the manager never once answered or returned my call! Called Vacasa help line again and it was the same routine!

Hot Stay

The house was situated in a nice wooded area - a family of deer were regularly spotted nearby. It was spacious and it was nice to see that the property could support similar number of guests for dining and leisure as well as sleep. The house itself is a bit worn looking, tired 1970's decor, with some inoperable windows & blinds and holes in the screens. BUT this all could have been overlooked if only the A/C was working. Sleeping in hot 80 degree, humid bedrooms was impossible. See note about holes on screens. We did not use the upstairs room - suffocating! Vacasa was notified shortly after checking in of the situation. We asked for fans. No fans came. They offered a discount of 10%, which I have yet to see. And on reflection, too paltry of a sum to make up for the missed sleep. Luckily it was only a 3 night stay. The weather was in the low 80's while we were there - so not during a heat wave.

Great Location that Needs Love

The location to Douglas City Beach was a perfect little walk/quick drive away. The yard had all sorts of wildlife. The house has good space and lots of beds … but it is all probably in need of some love and repairs.

Fun Week, great location

The house was great. Lots of bedrooms, big tv room, beautiful backyard and super close to the beach. Huge kitchen. Only a few things that could use some TLC- the washing machine was missing a part so a part of the machine would not stay in place. You could only do heavy loads to weigh the part down. I texted the local Vacasa person, but never got a response. There were lots of bugs in the attic room- almost like the housekeeper didn't clean thoroughly before we came. It wasn't a huge issue but my teens were a little squeamish. It's an attic space so it was not unexpected, but maybe just needed a more detailed vacuum upstairs. Otherwise, we had a fabulous time and would rent this house again!
