Outdoor shower to rinse off. Great covered parking. This house just needs some minor updates; fridge wasn't working, a/c couldn't keep up, toilets extremely hard to flush, pool was closed unexpectedly, no extras as indicated in email (garbage bags, toilet paper, laundry detergent). It wouldn't take much to really bring this property from good to GREAT! ##### Ashley B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca M. May 17, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Overall Great Stay with Hidden Problems Pros: This house had everything we needed as far as space and was beautifully decorated. It looked like the decor had been refreshed recently. Proximity to the beach was great, just a short walk across the street. The open concept floor plan with all bedrooms on the same floor was very convenient. Cons: 1\. Stairs railing was not secure. Dangerous for anyone needing support going up and down the stairs. When I mentioned this to the property manager she didn’t act like this was a serious concern or that it would be fixed before the next family checked in. 2\. Bugs! On the surface things were clean, but on the second day we found dozens of small bugs in the dining room curtains and on the floor next to the dining room table. Looking closer we realized these were termites. We found them on the window sills and by the kitchen sink. On the morning we checked out there were bugs and wings in the bathroom sink when I went to brush my teeth. The property manager argued with me about the bugs. She said their exterminator said they were flying gnats. Every person in our party agreed 100% that they were termites. Regardless, it was gross and very evident that the house was not thoroughly cleaned. 3\. The house, front door and deck with sitting areas all face a busy street. Cars playing loud music, work trucks, etc drove by all day long. Very noisy. We received a refund of $350 for inconvenience of the bugs, but I didn’t feel like there was any urgency to fix the stairs. ##### Rebecca M.

Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Poor Property Management - Termite Nest in Bedroom This was our fourth annual trip to Anna Marie island with our family. We booked an expensive four night stay with this property to celebrate an anniversary and birthday. The home is located at an ideal location, but the accommodations were unacceptably poor. Our daughter slept in the second master bedroom the first night, but reported a bunch of dirt in her sheets. Upon inspection, it was evident that the dirt was coming from a mound, almost like an ant pile that had amassed at the top of the window frame above the bed. I called Vacasa to address it. They sent over a housekeeper and he confirmed it was a termite mound. So upon learning that my daughter had slept in the debris from a termite mound in our expensive vacation rental, I told the housekeeper to have the manager call me immediately, and that I wanted to check out early. The housekeeper recommended that I just pull the bed frame away from the window sill so that the termite mound debris would not land on the bed anymore. The manager never called. Through the remainder of our stay I contacted Vacasa multiple times over the phone, through text, and through the VRBO app. None of the 6 people I spoke to could get the local property manager to contact me. The VRBO help desk was unhelpful. We cut our losses and checked out a day early. I continued to call Vacasa to seek reimbursement for this poor experience. They had a multiple chances to remedy the situation. They eventually reimbursed me 5% of the total cost. ##### Ronald R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stacia S. Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing beach access Recently enjoyed a four day stay here with family. We loved the location close to the beaches and the comfortable living spaces, including the amazing deck. We found the property and pool inviting and comfortable. The beach cart was a big help with beach gear. I have listed out the Pros/cons that we found during our stay. Overall we did enjoy the property but did feel that our review would be incomplete without mentioning a few items that impacted our stay, that result in the 3-star overall rating and recommendations for returning. Upon arrival we did notice a mildew odor in the property, rains during the week revealed drainage issues that could be the source. Also as the week went on we were affected by kitchen ants. We keep a very clean kitchen, no food or dirty dishes were left out and counters wiped frequently, however by the end of the stay combating the ants was very challenging and annoying. We were only left with two DW packets, so keeping a clean kitchen was more difficult as the week went on. The other issue was with the HVAC which was extremely loud kicking on and off - and it did not really keep the house at 75 degrees. We did not get restful nights sleep because of the noise. PROS: -beach access -location to Bean Point -BBQ grill availability -large kitchen, well supplied with dishes and pots/pans -nice modern bathrooms -clean fresh towels for bath and beach -cart for beach supplies was very useful -beach umbrella and toys was nice to have -great covered parking -beautiful natural landscape -clean useful pool -amazing deck with great seating -comfy living room seating -fun basket of games to play CONS: -mildew odor in the house, concerned about air quality -mildew smell was on clean, dry clothes when we got home -could be fixed by improving drainage (have pictures) -should be checked for water damage or possible mold -our kids noticed the air quality and did not want to be inside because of the odor made them feel unwell -ants in kitchen/dining -limited cleaning supplies for DW or dishes, one DW packet per day would be nice -extremely loud HVAC -AC struggled to keep temp at 75 degrees -TV in awkward location -pool disconnected from rest of living spaces Overall we did enjoy our stay and this is a great location for a rental property. If the mildew odor, HVAC, and ants were remedied we WOULD consider returning to this property. ##### Stacia S.

This was such a great location and family friendly set up! Our family of 5 had plenty of space and room to play games and make memories. Easy walk to pine street for food and a quick across the street walk to the beach!! ##### Dawn E. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francis C.

Excellent location across the street from the beach. The property was impeccable with many amenities. We enjoyed sunsets from the front porch. The heated pool was great too! Went to Sandbar for a sunset dinner. Only downside was the code we where give for the door did not work. The rental agent gave us the lock box code to get the key for the front door. Also we had to get all the leaves out of the pool from Tropical storm Nicole. We called and left a message with rental agency but nnever received a reply. Overall great experience and would recommend to our friends. ##### Francis C.

Oct 23, 2022 #### Cute west coast home The location is great! It‘s Max. 2min from the beach. Easy walk over to it and you even have some beach gear in the house! We loved how calm it is in the mornings. All you need is in a short driving distance from the home. If you are looking for a florida beach home…. this is the one! ##### Herbert A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel P.
