    We stayed here for a Mother/Daughter long weekend at the beginning of May. The location was wonderful and the parking was really convenient and easy to access. The interior of the rental was pretty rough. Exposed outlets, broken screens, grimey cupboards and surfaces, dead bugs on window sills, etc. I honestly think the cleaning team probably did a fine job, but the actual apartment is just so worn that there isn't a lot that can be done to spruce it up. The beds were very comfortable, but the rest of the furniture felt very dorm-room-curb-find. If you are particularly sensitive to musty/mildew, you might consider bringing some allergy meds along.We spoke with the rental agent when we arrived and they were very responsive. In end I definitely appreciate that all the homes in this area are older places that have a lot of charm and huge variety of upkeep needs. Moisture is unavoidable this close to the ocean. It feels possible that owner has just made the decision to let the property exist as it is until they decide they are ready for more major renovations. Our stay was totally fine. We slept well, we loved walking around to the nearby locales. We appreciated easy parking. We just felt surprised by the level of upkeep given the other rentals we've stayed in over the last few years. Again, I was really impressed with the rental agency's response!

    The place was comfortable for a fun spring break with our family at the beach. We appreciated the boogie board and sand toys available in the garage. The patio space with a hose to wash off the sand before entering the house was really useful. Everything was as listed. One possible improvement would be up have a mirror in the bedroom to make sharing one bathroom a little easier.

    Pros: Great location (steps from the beach and very walkable to several shops, restaurants, bars and attractions), outdoor/patio space, comfortable beds, plenty of space. Cons: Heavy rain came in through the windows in both bedrooms. Luckily we didn't use any beach towels because we needed them all to soak up the water inside. I was in contact with Vacasa immediately to report the issue was told they'd report it to the local team and keep me posted with updates. The next day a random and unexpected man showed up to check out the windows. A heads up would've been appreciated when letting a random person into our rental space. Also, a tiny bit of cosmetic work would make a world of difference.

    Excellent location! Walked to the gorgeous beach and boardwalk every day (literally from the front door to the beach is a two minute walk). Arcade was nice for our 13 year old. SeaWorld was just a few minutes drive away, and the zoo and downtown were less than 15 minute drive away. Property manager was very responsive for whatever we needed. Great to have the grill, kitchen and laundry available.

    House was clean upon arrival, and it had everything we needed. Location was amazing, just 3 houses down from the beach. The kids loved the beach toys! Overall we had a good stay and would stay again. The price was very affordable compared to other houses in the area, but you get what you pay for. House is a bit shabby and could use some work, but overall everything was functional and comfortable. The negatives:- I tried contacting Vacasa (The management company for this unit) before our stay to ask a question. They never got back to me with an answer. - Bathtub drain would not plug, and when we tried to run a bath for the kids a bunch of hair came floating up from the drain. So we stuck to showers after that- The washer and dryer are inconvenient to get to, and the dryer takes at least 2 cycles to dry the clothes (So you have to pay for it twice)- A man tried to access the unit we were staying in to do some work. There was a list of contact numbers in the garage and I tried contacting 3 different people listed. One hasn't worked for the company in 5 years, one was no longer in use, and the other never answered. We eventually figured out what unit he needed on our own, but the management company needs to improve.- The garage is VERY tight to get into if you have a larger vehicle, takes a bit of shimmying to get in.- Would recommend putting in a dehumidifier as everything felt damp in the houseBut overall, an enjoyable, clean and affordable stay!

    Generally a fiasco. Upon arrival the door code did not work and it took several calls and maybe 30 mins to get the correct code. We had to wait outside with our luggage after a long day of traveling. There is NO street parking- only narrow alleyways. The garage door code did not work either. Mgr suggested opening manually but the pull was removed. It didn’t matter anyway bc the garage was occupied by a boat trailer, to the surprise of the property mgr. We were also told the garage did not fit large SUVs. Imagine our delight. There is no overnight public parking nearby (signs say they will tow). Property Mgr eventually got us permission to park in a neighbors spot, which is good bc we would have had to get a hotel. The inside of the property was no was no better. The screen door and latch were broken. Many outlets did not work. Not fun when it’s December, there’s no heat, and you can’t plug in the space heater. Walls are partially painted/painted over dirt. Ceiling, wall decor and fixtures are very dusty. Furniture is aged. I wouldn’t recommend. Pics online do not reflect condition of the property. (I took my own!) Definitely some editing there! Not worth the price whatsoever. This is a place for some kids to crash near the beach and nothing more. Must say that the property manager was very nice despite all of this.

    Mike's Place is basic, nothing fancy, but it's super clean and quite close to the ocean. Communication by the host was excellent. But that said, they might consider a couple things for improvement: supply some coffee and/or tea for guests; and amend the check-in and check-out times. We're all used to 3pm check-in and 11am check-out times, but their 4pm check-in time and 10am check-out are a bit extreme and cuts 6 hours out of a 2 day booking. We were offered an early check-in, but had already made plans and were notified so late, that we weren't able to take advantage of it. Also, if it's cold, be aware, there are a couple of space heaters in the closets. Overall, a good experience

    Our stay here was just fine. The place was clean, and the one small problem we had was addressed promptly. The location is fantastic, only about 50 steps to the beach. The unit has comfortable furniture/beds, and all the linens needed. A major plus is that there is convenient, free and secured parking for one car. The kitchen is not very well stocked. All the basics are there (cups/plates/silverware), but if you plan to cook, you may want to bring some measuring cups. etc! The feel of the place was very mediocre. The building is clearly very old, and it is showing. While the unit was clean on our arrival, there are parts that are just yellowing and rusting that can't be cleaned. The appliances are outdated but functional. It also feels very dark inside. There is very little natural light that filters into the unit since it is on the bottom level and surrounded by other buildings and foliage. It felt a bit like staying at a Holiday Inn - you have the required basics but nothing more. It was not a bad stay - just nothing special.
