The view was just great, but if I'd known Vacasa was managing the house, I would not have booked it. They are awful, always. While the aforementioned view was swell, the porch you look out over from was a bit decrepit. The gutters are all rusted through so water is dripping even though it didn't rain at all while we were there. Paint is peeling and some rotted wood. It's the coast, I get it. But fix the gutters...nobody wants rusty rainwater dripping on them. Second, I didn't see anywhere that said it was a duplex. Not a deal breaker, but good to know. Big clumps of dog hair and dust under the couch...not a problem unless your blanket and/or socks end up under it and pulll out tons of stuff...so yes, a problem. Vacuum under the freaking couch. Art is terrible, decor is bland and sparse. It's totally fine for a discount stay at the coast. Last thing, I asked for a one hour late checkout, til 11 am, as we had some early activities and wanted to shower before we hit the road. Check-in is 4 pm. It's a tiny place AND we didn't use the downstairs bedroom at all, which I let them know. Simply does not take 6 or even 5 hours to clean the place...maybe 2, 3 tops. In fact, we got a notice that an early check-in was ok at like 1 pm the day of our stay, sooooo, it really doesn't take long to clean it (and like seriously, how is an early check-in notice useful?) So an 11 am checkout should not have been an issue, right? But nope, they would not do it. Just dicks, plain and simple.
