I would give this place a 5 if the property managers were more scrutinized with the cleaning crew. The house is not cleaned properly. Cleanliness is the number one complain in almost all reviews.

Few steps to beach-100’s steps in house
We experienced ants, roaches and dead bugs stuck to walls on the front door landing. The cleanliness was adequate but unsightly rusted air vents should get a fresh spray paint. We never could figure out the pool light and all the ping paddles were broken with 2 usable balls. Nothing a trip to Target couldn’t fix and I left the balls for the next guest but took the paddles I bought. The wagon would have been an excellent addition to our beach trips if not for the completely flat and gashed tire. I’m not sure I would rent this house again just because I have foot problems that are exasperated by stairs. One more excellent thing about this house was the amount of full bathrooms, that was definitely one of the best things besides the proximity to the beach.

Great location! Amazing house with pool!
The neighborhood was very nice and just a quick walk across the street to a private beach. The house was really large and laid out for a lot of privacy with tons of bathrooms! Some of the furniture could be updated but overall it was nicely appointed and clean. We would definitely stay there again!

Awesome location with easy access to the beach. Heated pool was great. Game room with ping pong table was fun. All beach toys with wagon provided, just needed a few more “beach” chairs. Great driveway for kids to ride the bikes, also provided. Lots of gathering space for our family and made for a great family Thanksgiving.

Needs updated post
The air conditioning went out not due to doors being open but loose wires at the thermostat. My husband figured out. There was not a fire pit. Windows very dirty at check in. My husband cleaned those the very next morning. Holes in walls and doors. The door to a bedroom would not close due to falling off hinges.

Mold and Mildew Palace - SAFETY Issues
So many issues with this place. Mold inside the house, Water leaks, smoke fire alarms not working, old outdoor furniture, smelly inside. Very very disappointed. This is a VACASA managed property and they have been EXTREMELY unresponsive. We have given them multiple days to respond. No one has reached out. If you have kids please be careful. Downstairs has visible mold. here is the list of "issues" We are 60 year old adults (4 long term friends and couples) We are tolerant and love visiting locations. We have NEVER written a letter of complaint. However, for this case we decided to document our concern. Some items of concern and issue: 1. Upon entering the house was “musty smelling” which we thought may be from sitting closed 2. We later learned of mold issues (walls in the downstairs bedrooms, upstairs bathroom, and garage has visible mold on ceilings. We would not allow anyone to sleep downstairs. 3. Woke up to rain coming in the bedroom door frame - steady stream, cleaned up floor and sent video to the company. I checked downstairs and it is evident that the water is running into the walls and creating mold issue. (wallboard bubble, paint peeling, etc) 4. Outside of house is covered with mold and mildew. 5. Firepit area, chairs and patio are completely covered in mold and unusable 6. Window in the main area and back of home are covered with mold and mildew 7. Outside shower is unusable 8. Almost all patio furniture is unkept, peeling paint, corrosion etc. 9. Fire detector in hallway at entrance is hanging down with evidence of water leaking around it 10. Fire detector in upstairs bedroom has cover missing and looks like it is in non-working condition 11. The following was in the note sent to us just prior to the trip “Families only! If the HOA finds you are not a family you will also be fined and asked to leave the property with no refunds .” This should be in the listing! We made the reservation between 4 couples. This could have been an issue. I do not believe the HOA Holiday Isles would be happy with not putting this in the listing. It could cause issues with friends like us renting the location. 12. We took the keycard to the beach entrance. Tried scanning…no luck. Called the help line and they told us they would put in a ticket (which does not help) no commitment on when we would get access. In summary, disgusted. If you are considering this property, move on to others. and it was not cheap.

House is in a great location - super close to beach access. Kitchen is huge and perfect for a big group (would be good to get a can opener though). Inside of house is a unique layout - be ready for lots of stairs 😂. House was clean when we arrived. The outside could use a power washing and some paint. Overall would recommend.

The house was spacious for 3 families of 4. The location and private pool were great. Kitchen area well laid out and supplied for prepping big meals. Some minor maintenance could be done. It’s a large house and being a rental it probably doesn’t get the attention that you would put into your own home. Overall a good experience!

Family time at the beach
Our family stayed at Sea Esta for a wonderful week! Weather was great! Great location! Just a few steps from the beach entrance. The house accommodated everyone perfectly, especially the game room for the kids! The kitchen could have use a few more mixing bowls not glass, containers to store leftovers in would have been nice to have. We did have to spray for sugar ants in the kitchen and roaches. The master bedroom was a little warm, not much air condition going on in that room. Other than that it was a great house to stay in enjoyed the views from the house too!

Location location location! The home is beautiful and perfectly located in the middle of everything! Beach is right across the street, sightseeing, shops and tours just mins away! The home was very clean with modern welcoming decor. 4 day stay and more than enough room for a family of 9... with beds still left over! Large fully stocked kitchen, heated pool and fun family game room where we spent most of our time. Vacasa was very attentive, and when we had one minor issue it was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend staying here, I promise you won’t regret it!

Nice place, good location
The house was very nice on the inside and nicely decorated. Management addressed all issues with tv's not working very quickly. Very convenient to the beach. The outside was filthy with mildew and mold, very unkept, made the entire property look marginal. The patio table and chairs were mildewed and the grill was disgustingly dirty. The lights don't work in the pool.
