The house was perfect for our family. Kitchen was fully stocked. Lots of sitting for dinner and gathering around the table. Spacious layout. Lots of linen provided. Great stay!

The house was large enough for our family of 13. Needs some upgrades, mattresses were not comfortable and most of the tvs weren't set up. Kitchen was well stocked. Maybe lane directions for heat control. House was cold until we figured out how to use the thermostat. Otherwise we had a great start.

Really enjoyed our stay. Great location, lots of parking, spacious house, perfect for our family. The kids loved the pool. Everything worked accordingly. Our favorite feautures are the pool, multilevel decks, large kitchen and living area. Our only complaint is the TVs are a bit small and outdated (no apps) but still enjoyable. Would recommend if you are traveling with kids and pets!

Great place for all ages!
The house is beautiful and well stocked. We expected the lazy river to be a short lived novelty, but it turned out to be a huge hit with all of the adults!

Mixed bag
17 members of my team stayed here for a weekend tournament.The good: * Lots of space, 3 floors and plenty of bathrooms means there's room for everyone. * Hot tub was nice and hot and large enough for our needs. * Both large decks were lovely places to relax. The not-good: * Kitchen wasn't clean when we arrived. Dirty towels, knives, cutting board, etc. * Foosball and air hockey were unusable as there were no foosballs (after extensive searching, turns out these were stuck in the bottom of the table - it doesn't return them to you, you have to fish them out) and no air hockey puck (never found one). Contacted Vacasa but they never delivered any. * Beds were uncomfortable, pillows were VERY uncomfortable. One of the beds on the first floor (NE bedroom) is actually a Full, not a queen as listed. This cause a frustrating late night bedroom swap as one of our later-arriving teammates is too tall for a double bed.* VRBO listing doesn't mention many things, like you need to bring your own trash bags, TP, paper towels, beach towels, etc. You have to look at the vacasa listing to see these things, and they don't even list everything they don't provide. * While there's a lazy river, there's nothing provided to use it. No tubes, noodles, etc. We flew here so not something we could bring with us. Pretty sad to not enjoy this.

Great for large family holiday get away
The house fit all of us comfortably and we enjoyed the proximity to the beach and nature preserve. Well stocked kitchen (pans, dishes, etc) and comfortable beds all around. Didn't get to try the outside pool or lazy river (winter stay) but would recommend it to others.

Total Disappointment
This property is far past due for a refresh. It was dirty (to include food substances on walls and ceilings on all floors), worn, and many things were broken. The hot tub was empty and non-functioning. The pool was not operating correctly. There were holes in the walls, couch (also broken), and floor grate. There was an inoperable toilet, doors that would not lock, screens that were torn and full of holes. The Kurig coffee pots were less than adequate for a 20 person VRBO, one didn't work at all and the other worked for about 2 cups and then had to be descaled. Fence pickets were broken or missing, not ideal for a pet friendly property. The landscaping was full of debris and unkept. The kitchen cabinets were tacky to the touch and the trash can would not close completely. Niether of the gas grill ignitors worked. Despite several calls to property management and promise of someone to come out to fix things...no one ever showed up nor did we get any type of follow up calls.
