First off, the house was in a great location off of the sound with incredible views especially from top floor inside and out. The house layout was good too with four bedrooms on second floor. However the place needs some serious TLC. First off, everything above a housekeepers head is filthy. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, bathroom fans, cabinets, refrigerator top, windows, lampshades, and so on have a very thick layer of dust. The return vents were filthy. The HVAC vents were dirty, wasn't sure if it was just dirt or mold. We turned HVAC system off and did not use it or the fans as we did not want that to circulate. Also many walls had dirt, some in strange places. The inside of microwave was dirty and also rusty. Many of kitchen utensils looked dirty, We washed everything prior to use. The cabinets the pots and pans in were nasty in inside. The bottom of stove where roast pans were was caked with grease and dirt.
Secondly, there are no comfortable seats in the house. It wasn't until we got in my SUV that we found comfort. The couch and chairs in living room should be trashed or burned. The rest of the chairs are wood. So nothing comfortable to sit in after a long day on fishing.
Finally, as some others alluded too, many items on house are outdated. Now I don't mind outdated so much but some things are broke and need to go.
Vacasa did reach out about the cleanliness after check-in and we did rate it as a 1 and they responded and said they could send someone to clean. However we did not want to be in a place that filthy while it was being cleaned. Best to leave that amount of dust, dirt, and filth undisturbed while you are there. Also, it is doubtful they would appropriately send the amount of people necessary to clean that house top to bottom. I highly highly recommend that Vacasa or owner clean this top to bottom and replace some furniture. Vacasa, this hurts your brand name. I'm super disappointed and definitely overpaid for what I got. As this will be an annual trip for us, we will be looking for other home and possibly through another organization.
