Pros: A great location in a quiet and tranquil neighborhood. They had a pretty well stocked kitchen with plenty of linens and beach towels. We appreciated the beach chairs in the garage and used those frequently. The house was spacious with only one bedroom being on the smaller side. They did have some welcome snacks, which is a nice touch.
It’s very close to both Shipwreck’s Beach and Brennecke’s Beach where you can easily see turtles and monk seals. There’s a cheap snorkel/surf shop about a 15 minute walk or two minute drive away and several restaurants are within a 15 minute driving distance. The walking trail off the lanai is nice for early mornings and leads you right to the beach. The backyard view is beautiful with plenty of seating on the lanai.
Cons: Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, making the common spaces pretty hot — I can only imagine how rough it would be during the summer (we went in April). The checkin is pretty late and the checkout is early, so you lose a few hours that would be nice to have otherwise. We did not have the option of early checkin or late checkout, so that was too bad. Had trouble with checkin as instructions do not come through the app and some trouble with communicating with Vacasa, which was a bit frustrating. We did not ever find the pool or other features shown in the listing and there were not instructions for location/access.
Overall, we’d stay here again simply for the value and location.
