Great Location, Unfortunate Experience

Great location for myself and 7 other adults to stay, however there were several issues we encountered while we stayed and still have not heard back from anyone to discuss. Unfortunately, there was a large rain storm and the entire property flooded, including the backyard with the pool which made the pool unusable for the entire trip, which is why we chose the house to stay in. Several sections of the flooring were missing and the upstairs shower did not drain making it unusable. These items were reported through Vacasa 3 times, and I have still yet to hear from anyone about it. During the flood, there were also visible sparks coming from the outdoor lighting. There were also several spots of rain leaking through the roof and down the wall throughout the home. Some of our guests experienced a mildew smell in the bedding- and please beware if you are traveling with adults, three of the beds are much smaller than the rest with two bunk bed mattresses on the floor. It is unfortunate that throughout all of these concerns, we could not get any response from the property managers to discuss. Blame cannot be placed for a large storm, but the aftermath was handled poorly.

Overall Good

We recently stayed at this home on St. Simons and overall had a good experience, mostly due to the great location. It's close to everything, and the neighborhood is lovely. The house itself definitely has good bones but could use some updates. It has a bit of a shabby feel, but nothing that stopped us from enjoying our time.A few things to note: the downstairs AC doesn’t work very well. We were there during cooler weather, so it wasn’t a huge issue, but I imagine it could be pretty uncomfortable in the summer. The stove also has several burners that don’t work, which was a bit frustrating when trying to cook.The top bunk bed is really only suitable for a small child—there's not much headroom or legroom up there. That said, the outdoor pool area is nice and was one of our favorite spots to hang out and relax.All in all, the house needs some TLC, but the location and layout make it a solid choice if you’re not expecting luxury. We'd stay again, especially if some of the little issues get addressed.

Update your property

Good location - close to town and beach. VRBO photos of property need to be more current. Exterior lighting entering/exiting the home could be brighter - missing bulbs. Heated spa/pool could be warmer. Musty smell upon entering property home most times. Missing the weber grill that was in backyard photo. Wouid have wanted to grill outdoors a night or two. Lighter fluid was located below sink so where was the grill?Oven did not heat up!! What’s the trick??

Nothing but issues

Booked this place 8 months in advance. The phone number given to contact the host is not a working number. Inquired 3 different times about having the pool heated. Didn’t get an answer back until the day of check-in. Right before check in, we were told the downstairs a/c was not working. Everything except one bedroom is on the bottom floor, so essentially the entire house was without a/c for the entirety of our stay. NO A/C! we were given a couple cheap box fans and a small portable a/c that was useless. The “heated jacuzzi” that I paid extra for, was barely warm. 85°. The ceiling fan in the living room has a big sign that says “fan is decorative only”. This seems to be what the host does with any item that doesn’t work—instead of getting it fixed. We were told on our first day that the a/c was to be fixed ASAP, and that it would probably be done before we checked in. Come to find out, the host got a few estimates to fix the issue, but the estimates were “more than they were willing to pay”, so we went without a/c for the entirety of our 5 day stay. There was a tarp suspended over the pool for shade. It had so much debris/broken tree branches/dirt on it that it was sagging down about 2 feet over the pool at the lowest point. The pool was also FILTHY. The house water was shut off for 24 hours at one point too. We couldn’t shower/use bathrooms that day. Last day I found roaches in the master bathroom also. I wish I had more space to write. DON’T STAY HERE.

Great location and great for big family!

Location is so close to beach! Clean with a large living room area. Kitchen is large and great for cooking!! Loved the big window that opens to pool. Hot tub and pool were amazing for a big crowd. Our only issue was hot tub and pool were cold for two days even though we paid for heat. Great vacation!

Spacious but left wanting

We easily fit 2 families into the house, great sleeping arrangements. We enjoyed the kitchen and living space, but exposed outlets, broken widow’s nest with no access (though it looked like it would have been amazing), promise of a heated pool in January but having nothing, and missing windows, tv remotes, and backyard issues (shade lining was covered in debri, playhouse covered in moss) just left us wishing we could have enjoyed what was promised to us more.

Great Space! Great Location!

Wonderful property. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids (ages 2 thru 15). 1 block from terrific beach access. Less than ¾ miles in either direction from fantastic food/brewery/shops. We stayed Friday to Friday around Memorial Day and only wish we had booked more time. The house is older but really well organized and ridiculously clean. It could use a few minor updates, shower heads specifically. The heated hot tub/pool was perfect for our group with cooler weather still lingering. The decking, fans and lighting around the pool all need some work. But I believe the property manager is aware and trying to make improvements. We loved the property and wouldn't hesitate to spend another week there!

Quaint house-fab location

Adorable house w/coffee house vibes. If you love & are used to older, quirky houses- you will love. Very cozy. Love the decor & stained glass. Great great location! Pool heating & cleanliness(pool only) was an issue, but obviously not a problem in summer. Vacasa did the very best they could with what they had to deal with(re:pool). Would love for the owners to fix the observation deck & a few other things. Would be a fun addition to this funky, cool house. Would stay here again.

Cute buts needs tending to

Overall the experience was easy and pleasant. The online pictures are very,very old because the place was not as bright as they show. The yard and house had ivy overgrown everywhere. Yard absolutely needed some tending to. I read from other vacationers back in sept of this year noting the over grown foliage and it definitely wasn’t attended to. We have pictures to prove what we are talking about. Great location a little fixing up in yard and this place would get a 5star.

Nice house, TV didn’t work and pool/spa not hot upon arrival.

Lovely little house but was disappointed with experience. Property management made a big deal of giving them 3 days in advance if I wanted the pool/spa heated so it could ready when I arrived. I told them, and paid the fee within their time restraint but the pool/spa was not turned on when I arrived. It took a day to get it to a temperature that was useable and another day to make it comfortable. No compensation was giving to me for the time lost during it being heated up. Moreover, the TV was not working when we arrived and despite the technician coming out, they could never get it working. This was during the braves World Series quest so I ended up paying for a sling subscription so we could watch on the small bedroom tv. Again, no compensation was offered. This is my third time filling out this form and no-one has reached out to ease my frustration.

Two family beach vacation

House was beautifully decorated and appointed and extremely clean. Great location, easy walk to the beach and shops and restaurants. Kitchen was easy to cook in and we used pool and spa more than I thought we would. The only thing I would point out is that the room with the double and two singles consists of bunk beds, including a top single that is shorter than a standard-sized single mattress and the double and other single are on the floor. It worked well for our teens/older kids and would be perfect for little kids, but adults would likely be uncomfortable there. Speaking of comfort, the mattresses and bedding were extremely comfortable (not something I would have expected in a rental).

Beautiful spot close to the beach

Overall, we really liked staying here. The house and yard were beautiful , and we enjoyed the pool as well. Only drawback was that the internet could be spotty at times and we weren't able to access Netflix and Hulu due to needing a PIN that only the owner had and didn't feel comfortable giving out. I assume they are going to work on fixing this. Other than that, I would highly recommend because the house was beautiful and a short walk to the beach!
