This was a really nice house. The only problem was we had to was 2 of the bedroom sheets. They were not clean. Wifi kept going in and out.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2023
Honestly torn here not sure if this is a VACASA problem or a property owner problem... seems that any deferrable maintenance is being deferred.
The clothes dryer clearly needs maintenance. The exhaust was not connected and was a fire hazard - when we checked in.. Even after I connected the hose back the heating element clearly needs to be replaced.
The TV in the single queen bedroom upstairs did not work; while a smart tv adapter was procured / delivered to breath more life into the aging TV, I later found this was not the first time this complaint had been brought up as a recent review also had it listed.
The fridge in the kitchen was replaced / the pictures were not. While new the cheapest option was clearly selected as a model with no ice/water in the door nor was there even an ice maker in the fridge. . . So you expect ICE/WATER but there isnt any.. . Also later found this as a previous review/issue...
Local magazines in the home are 5-7 years old...
Deck railing at front of the home was replaced with non-matching wood and not even painted to attempt to match as best as it could.
Several boards in the deck around the home (on all levels) need to be replaced or renailed as they are broken/breaking or have nails coming up (trip hazard).
The indoor pool at the location is noted as being closed but opening this summer... its now the fall and its still not open.. need to update ad or just remove it as an option. There is no reason it is not reopened except for the refusal to spend money by the HOA.
The kitchen is poorly to just barely equipped..
