Highly recommend!! ##### Michelle B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priscilla S. 13 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Beautiful bay getaway We loved staying at Lacy’s home. It is comfortable and relaxing with every kitchen item imaginable! We had a few small check in issues, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed by adding details directly to the VRBO app, rather than on a website. A few things to note : this home is far out from markets. Make sure to stop at the store on your way in. Also we loved how shallow the bay was for our littles, but if you are thinking ocean swimming this home isn’t for you. The ocean is on the other side of the highway and all private access. We can’t wait to visit Lacy’s home again. ##### Priscilla S.

The reviews are not considered quid pro quo. I was not happy with the stay for multiple reasons! 1\. You NEVER MENTIONED A RING CAMERA, causing an invasion of our privacy. VRBO policy states you must disclose it in the description not with just pics, which also didn’t disclose it 2\. I had trouble getting into the place and when you called you seemed annoyed I was bothering you and I put you out 3\. When’s i contacted you about the pool your guide mentioned you made it point to point out it was after hours for you to be contacted. When hosting you should be available when needed 3\. We couldn’t use the paddle board kayaks and or beach gear because the lock on the door. The passcode didn’t work and after our last 2 interactions I was not gonna bother contacting you to be treated like I was bothering you and told it was after hours 4\. The front window/door facing the ocean you can not see out of at all because whatever is on it 5\. The place wasn’t very clean. The refrigerators both looked like the stainless was cleaned with dirty wash clothes and it was smeared with food 6\. Your message telling me you will give me a good review but you need a 5 star rating to stay on the platform is offensive. Reviews are not quid pro quo, you give me a good review i give you one. Their honest for future guest and the fact you sent the message to me is wrong & violates the VRBO policies you talk about 7\. You mention other sites you over and over and over in your listing but we’re on VRBO not the other one.. We host too on both platforms and I would never treat my customers likes this! Customer service is what keeps people coming back and being clean! I have reached out to VRBO and the other one. I will not recommend your place to anyone. The ring camera should have been listed and disclosed ##### h4rhrpAEcd0Lr3O2ECPWffSl2fK29sG1pXlAE7fGeRHfeuOHd0dppv2M0mAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSI r.

We did a last minute summer family trip and the house and all its amenities were fantastic. The rooms were perfect. Walk to the beach was easy and the lagoon was so peaceful and kids loved paddle boarding. Thank you again for helping us have a wonderful trip at a time when it was much needed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ---
