I will start with the good: The house is absolutely beautiful, in a great, secure neighborhood right on the ocean. Access to the beach is not directly behind the house but is about half a mile to the north off the highway, still an easy 8 mile trip into town. Check in process was painless. 3 rooms with comfortable beds and nice bathrooms, it was completely spotless inside, cleaned very well prior to our arrival.
I was notified prior to arrival that the hot tub was out of commission which was a bummer but I get that things sometimes happen. Host stated I would be refunded a portion of the fees but I never saw that happen. The first night at the house we bought a ton of groceries to make dinner and then found out that the oven would not heat past roughly 250 degrees which made it impossible to cook the food we had purchased. There was a BBQ that allowed some steak to be cooked but we could not bake any sides to go with it. I messaged the host through VRBO/Vacasa about this issue but never received a reply at all. The next issue we found out about the hard way was that when the fridge closes it props the freezer open slightly, after the first night all of the groceries we had in the freezer were spoiled. We ended up throwing a lot of food away on the trip and eating meals in town as opposed to cooking which added additional expense and the inconvenience of driving into town to do so.
All in all I would stay here again but would hope that the issues with appliances were fixed. Noting these issues to hopefully save someone the spoilage of food or finding out the hard way that they cannot cook.
