Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Inaccurate photos, Interrupted Vacation, Rude Customer Service The photos were completely inaccurate, the house was not appropriately stocked, the sink in the kitchen fell off and the kitchen flooded with no attention from the rental company, the company came into our place without our pro mission and we got a fire inspections with NO notice. Great area and location, just wouldn’t stay at this property. ##### Amanda P. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Denise C. Mar 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Underwhelmed We arrived and the door was very hard to lock and unlock. The floors were dirty and the pics online did not reflect the inside of the house. The toilet didn’t work properly and we had to plunge most the time. The place had an over all smell to it. We have rented with Vacassa before and been very happy. This rental was not ready for vacationers ##### Denise C.
