Our stay at a Place in the Sun was wonderful. It was clean, convenient and big enough for our party of 14. There was one issue, the wifi is not strong at all. With the help of a family member, we had to create a new wifi connection in order to connect tablets, iphones and laptops. There wasnt enough towels; so glad i brought my own. I'll give it a 9 out of 10.

The beach was uncrowded and being near the pass was nice for viewing wildlife. The beds were comfortable and the view is good. The k-cup style coffee maker had to be held closed to function and Vacasa promptly replaced it. Now for a few complaints. There was only one hand towel in the whole house including the kitchen. Plenty of wash rags and bath towels though. The house could have been cleaner, some dirty countertops. The kids complained that the wifi wasn't fast enough, granted there were a lot of us using it. It was early October and normally this time of year the pool temps are ok for us, but this pool is under the house and completely shaded so it was cooler than expected. We called upon arrival and asked to get the pool heated and Vacasa refused to heat it even though we were willing to pay the full price knowing it would take some days to heat all the way up. The check out procedure list at the house was not the exactly the same as what they emailed me.

Property was great. Could use some newer bigger towels and a deep cleaning. Some doors, rails were dirty. There was construction on the beach right in front of the home. Pipe was dug up and a bulldozer running all day on the beach.

We love the property and the location. We stayed here before and couldn't wait to get back. It's perfect for large extended families. Several bedrooms serve as master bedrooms and lots of room for the kids.

We loved everything! House was spotless and perfectly equipped. Pool was under the house so that was perfect for the babies and so thankful we had it heated, otherwise it would have been freezing and it was in the high 80s and 90s. They over-adjusted the temperature when we told them it was too cool which was our only complaint- they turned it up to maximum and it was like a hot tub. So they should definitely not do that again. The house was closer to the beach than it appears in pictures so we were very pleasantly surprised. Definitely would stay here again.
