May 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location, house in bad shape sadly though - cockroaches, spotty electricity We loved the location so much, but were very disappointed at the shape the house was in. There were several cockroaches in the kitchen which was disgusting, they were all over my kids lunchboxes. There were also moths and other bugs upstairs. Vacasa was a total pain when I tried to do something about the bugs, I called in and the rep told me to wait at the house as someone would come by to inspect in an hour, this was at 10 am. I waited at home all day wasting a whole day of our vacation and no one ever came. I messaged in the app that night and the rep was rude, claiming no one would come by with such short notice. They said they would make a report and a local Agent would get back to me soon. I called in a few days later and they just said a report was made and to keep waiting. I messaged in the app again but same situation. I had sent in photos and they were totally unresponsive. Finally 5 days later a local agent came out and helped address it. Also the upstairs toilet was running and wasting gallons of water, I called in and messaged two local agents a total of 4 times and neither responded all day so my husband fixed it that night. The door to the garage automatically locks so I got locked in the garage 6 times. Thankfully my toddler was awake inside and I could instruct him on how to let me in each time, but it took a while and was scary for both of us. The electrical outlets would randomly short out, turning off sound machines waking my son up. ##### Daria G. Stayed 16 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer V.

May 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Great House, Terrible Property Manager The house itself is great: 1. Amazing location on Balboa island 2. Spacious layout with the four bedrooms split into two segregated sleeping areas, ideal for travel with kids 3. Awesome, awesome well-equipped kitchen with high-end range and Zwilling cutlery 4. Complete battery of bikes and beach toys for enjoying Newport Beach beaches Unfortunately, our overall impression was ruined by what can only be described as Vacasa’s gross incompetence, the property management company we were forced to use. After reserving through Vrbo, we then had to complete a separate registration / payment process through Vacasa. Fine, no big deal. However, the amount Vacasa was attempting to charge us for the booking via their online system was not the same as what should have been charged per the Vrbo reservation. So, I emailed Vacasa asking them to fix and got generic response asking me to call. Fine. So, I call… and wait on hold for 45 minutes to talk to someone until I had to drop for a meeting. Repeat this four times over the next days. Sent another email explaining I tried calling and couldn’t get through… no response until a week later I get another generic “please call us” response. Sent message through Vrbo’s system asking how to resolve and no response. Finally, after two weeks of trying to get through to someone, my wife called in the evening and was able to get the billing mixup fixed. Under no circumstances should anything so simple be so difficult to fix. So, we arrive at the house to check in. The check-in instructions we were given were to use a code on the keypad to the garage door opener. Garage door would not open with code provided. So, I once again call Vacasa. After waiting on hold, the solution offered was to read the garage keypad instructions back to me and, after I explained I had done that many times to no avail, I’m told a “ticket” to the local manager to help resolve the issue will be submitted. Meanwhile, my three-year-old is crying because he has to use the bathroom and we can’t get in the house to do so. After about 45 minutes someone shows up and get us in the house… apparently the code on the opener was not set correctly. Like I said, once Vacasa was out of the picture and we had access to the house, we had a great time. But, the damage had been done. Between the billing fiasco and being unable to contact anyone at Vacasa and problems getting in to the house, there is NO chance I book another property managed by Vacasa. None. ##### Marcus D.

Jul 7, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “Haunted House” First of all, I want this rating to be removed because we LOVED our vacation. I understand there is a system to get it removed before it goes public so I’m counting on that. However, keeping it real, I thought you would want to know. The lights flickered. In the main room, the light would turn on by itself or the fan would change direction randomly. Very weird. We heard a moaning noise at night. (I think the flapper valve in the downstairs toilet was malfunctioning and caused noise in the pipes. At least I hope so.) The scariest thing were the cockroaches. At night, we could hear them clattering about in the bedroom with the fireplace. Went downstairs to a downstairs bedroom. As I lay down, I saw a cockroach on my pillow. Eek. They were also in the kitchen. Hopefully, a plumber, electrician and exterminator will solve the “haunting” The location couldn’t be better. The house was charming and historic. We made good use of the wagon and sand toys. It was a very good price. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. Sorry about the negatives. I didn’t know how else to tell you. ##### Sally M.

We really enjoyed the location and being able to walk all over Balboa Island and enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights ##### Mary J.

Just wish had been stocked with a little more such as tissues, dish towels. Otherwise perfect ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie C.

They've started to remodel it but still needs more updating and new carpet upstairs. This property has no air conditioning so there were a few uncomfortable moments of stuffiness but overall it was a great stay. ##### Melanie C.

Nov 29, 2018 #### A substitute home Our family stayed in a lovely little home on Balboa island, very close to the Main Street, and even closer to the water. It comfortably housed my family of 8, as well as a baby and a 4 year old. We were very pleased with the accommodations, size, and comfortable style of this home and we would recommend this site to any of our friends who are thinking of doing the same with their families! Thank you for a memorable vacation and a lovely Thanksgiving! ##### Elizabeth W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackson M. Aug 29, 2018 #### Perfect for a week at the beach with extended fam My family found this beach cottage totally charming -- and perfect for a week on the island. We were a fluctuating group between four and nine people (and between one years old and 94!), and it accommodated us just fine. And it was super conveniently located: a two minute walk to either bay front, a three minute walk to the main drag of Balboa Island. Bonus points for the wagon full of beach toys in the garage, that made aforementioned one-year-old's stay particularly awesome! Worth mentioning... When we noticed that a couple minor items (a hairdryer, for one) weren't available in the house, we contacted SeaBreeze and got replacements almost immediately. Thank you! I'd recommend the house, and SeaBreeze, in a heartbeat. ##### Jackson M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H.
