Absolutely worth it
From booking, to confirmation, to communicating directly for additional information or questions, the owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay experience exceeded our expectations. Our unit was very clean, and beautiful inside. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their stay! The owners were also very quick to respond and absolutely so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back to stay there again.

Nice cool place.
Over all its very cool and fun place to be. It was up to date and the best part was the location (walking distance to main part of town, shops, restaurants, beach, and grocery store. When I first got there I was a little bit confused cus I didn’t realise it was an old hotel/appt that had been convertered to mini house rentals. I thought it was own single unit or house. But Check in was easy. They just gave me a door code the day before via text. The place had a lot of character. Some of the place I questioned there choices in design and functionality as a rental. Like as to why they dont have a big sectional on the main floor? But they have 3 table surface areas in a row instead. The walkway to the up stairs has low ceiling that you can easily hit your head on. Easy fix would be to widen it a little more. The stove was a little funky not working well. Lots of kitchen cabinet space. And the 2 bathrooms was nice too. They beds were really comfortable I thought for a rental. And it was clean when we arrived.

May look clean, until you actually walk in. Rude management.
The pictures of the property are accurate, however, when you walk in, you notice the dirty and smell. There was moss and mold growing in all the window seals, along with dirty and dead bugs. Keep the windows open or you’ll have a steamy mess throughout the entire house. The lock on the front door would not work for us most of the time, called the property for help, no answer, we ended up googling how to fix it, to lock it. This peppery is dog friendly, and it is advertised everywhere that all you have to do is pay the fee - great! I love that! Except , in one of the multiple emails, at the very bottom, AFTER the signature, there is a small sentence that stays you will not be able to leave the dogs unattended, ok, fine. But MAKE IT CLEAR. I was called by the property manager and berated over this and will never be staying at one of these properties again. You can tell this is just a money scheme and they could care less about anything else. Be ware.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback with us. We have a professional housekeeping team which goes through every nook and corner in the unit prior to each guest’s check-in. We don’t rely on one person to clean our units but it’s a team of professionals with a checklist and a mission of making every guest experience a memorable one. We have combination locks and we sent you detailed instructions on how to open them. Additionally, our customer service team is available anytime to help with resolving these kind of concerns as well as relocating guests to our other units in case there is any sort of discomfort. Sadly we never received any complaints from you during the length of your stay. I firmly believe that the reason for this review is the call that we had to make to you just after 9pm during which we had to ask you to return to your pet that was left alone in the room. Multiple guests were complaining about constant barking from your room and it was during our quiet hours time. We mention in our house rules on the wall in each room and also in each email communication that pets cannot be left unattended as animals usually get stressed out in a new atmosphere when left alone and starve themselves by continuously barking. This not only causes discomfort to guests staying in other units at the hotel but can also lead to the death of a pet by constant salvation and high blood pressure due to constant barking. We are pet parents ourselves and have gone through multiple experiences where we had to leave our dog back home as the places we booked were not pet friendly. It was out of this concern that we chose to make our entire hotel pet friendly. Our pet fee is a very nominal amount which goes towards deodorizing and cleaning pet hair post each check out. Instead of the intention of making money via pet fees, our goal is to have a place where guests can conveniently enjoy their stay with pets without having to leave those poor creatures alone back home. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and look forward to making the next stay of yours at Wanderlust Inn a memorable one.

Cute and convenient
Overall a great stay, though may be a bit small if you have multiple adults. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and the kids stayed upstairs which worked well, however there is only one small 2 person couch downstairs so not a lot of “relaxing” areas aside from barstools or kitchen table. Would love if they could consider a smaller table and another recliner or small love seat. Otherwise very conveniently located to shops, beach, bowling etc within walking distance.

Not sure about the noise policy?
Early check in was a perk. The accommodations were clean. We did experience flea bites and possible stirrings of mice in the walls. The downstairs room residents were screaming and drinking until 2 am, their dog barking incessantly. Although I would have like to possibility stay here again, my family was miserable.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 26, 2022
Hi Laurie. This is the first we have heard of fleas or the potential presence of mice. We will do a thorough inspect of the unit and treat it accordingly. It is very very unlikely there are any mice though - maybe you heard seagulls on the roof? - because we have a metal a-frame roof that entirely covers this unit and there is no attic. Thank you for the information. Also, we do sincerely apologize for the noisy neighbors. We do have strict "quiet hours" that we expect all guests, including four legged ones, to adhere to. Had we been made aware of the offending party, we would have seen to it immediately. We are sorry that your stay was less than perfect. We do hope that you give us another opportunity to serve you in the future.

.Roomy open concept ocean beach condo
(3) couples went to Ocean Shores for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was big and 3 are gourmet and this size worked well. The open concept was nice. There was plenty of room, to watch tv, upstairs in the mezzanine to watch another tv or just read. The staff was very nice, housekeeping very pleasant: Becky and Debra. Thanksgiving Day was a monsoon outside, but nice, warm and cozy inside. Most of our meals were made in the kitchen. Supermarket was nearby for last minute things. Overall it was a relaxing and wonderful long weekend. Thank you.

My siblings and I spent our 35th reunion in Ocean Shores. The accommodations were most pleasant but the upstairs sleeping unit was difficult to use. I’d recommend a regular coffee maker and a few more kitchen utensils. We stayed snug and secure during substantial wind and rainstorms. Very nice.

Hi, Roseanne. Thank you for your kind review. We do our best to ensure that guests are aware that stairs are involved with Captain's Quarters. We want everyone to be able to easily access their accommodations. As far as the kitchen goes, we try to supply it with what we have in our own homes and make it as convenient as possible.

The apartment is great to share with friends. It is close to everything. It was nice to share meals at the large table and hang out on the patio. There are stairs leading up to the apartment that could be challenging for seniors, and I would not recommend for people with disabilities.
