My family enjoyed staying at this house…everyone had a bedroom and a bathroom so that was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some.
The location was great and the view was perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

Let’s go again
This house met all of our requirements: elevator for my 82 year old mom, pet friendly, and perfect bed configuration for our family. We sat on the deck and could see the ocean which was nice because the houses across the street are one story. Close walkable beach access. Very nice place and we enjoyed our stay and will probably stay again.

House needs some attention
The home needs some attention like others have mentioned. I sent the issues we had privately to the realtor company for them to address. Nice walking distance to public beach access!

Family Vacation
We booked this place for our annual family vacation. The spaces were exactly as described in the listing. It is very close to public beach access (5 house down) and because of the shorter houses across the street the ocean view was great from the top deck. The pool was warm despite being the last week of sept so that was a pleasant surprise for us. Having 2 living room spaces was ideal for our group. Beds were comfy and the elevator was a big hit for moving luggage/groceries and used daily by those that struggled with the stairs. We would definitely consider renting this house again for future stays.

Perfect House for Family Trip
We loved this house! It was hard to leave. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, there were plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels. The kitchen was well-stocked. The pool is small but the kids loved it and we’re glad we had it heated. The layout of the house is great with bedrooms spread out and the upper level with kitchen/family room/big deck was so nice. The houses across the street are low so you really do have an awesome ocean view. Beach access spots are close. All good!
We had 10 people ages 2-84 stay at Life’s Too Shore for a beach week reunion. The home was perfect for us with separate bathrooms for each bedroom, two sitting areas, an elevator and a pool. Great view over the top of the houses across the street on the oceanfront. Elevator made it easy for the 80+ year old and the toddlers to navigate from ground level to the 3rd floor. The small pool was great for the kids and the public beach access was less than a block walk/golf cart ride.
The kitchen is well-equipped, although there was no Keurig, despite one shown in the photos. Nice grill on the ground floor as well. Highly recommend!
We stayed here with 8 family members all 20+ years old. The house was lovely for the price with all of us having our own bedrooms and full bathrooms. One family member is disabled so the working elevator was a must and it had very few issues. Make sure to read the elevator guidelines as you can easily have user errors. The property had a few issues with bugs but the property manager and maintenance were quick to assist. Big shoutout to Travis for coming out twice, once on Christmas Eve, to help us out with beeping/alarming smoke detectors. Some of the amenities are outdated like the pots/pans, movies (VCR!), and the griddle. The griddle is almost not usable so don't count on it. The heating coils have clearly burned through to the cooktop.
The listing states all bedrooms have access to an outside balcony or porch, but the 1st floor front room does not. Technically you can get outside but not from inside the room. All other rooms have a door that go outside. The 2nd floor balconies/porches do not have stairs down to the first floor. The first floor back porch connects to both first floor bedrooms on the back of the house and have a gated staircase down to the pool area, which is also gated to the carport area.
Overall we would stay here again. For the price and the space we had plus the elevator, it was ideal for our families.
We had a wonderful visit in OIB. The accommodations were almost perfect. No complaints.

Great house for family vacations $
We just spent a week in this house, and had a really great time! Each bedroom having its own bathroom was very convenient and the kitchen was large enough for our family. The pool was really nice to have, next time we would bring a tent or umbrella, so it could be shaded in the afternoon since it’s in full sun. Convenient location to beach access and close enough to hop on the golf cart to ride into the main part of the island for ice cream or the park. Really nice house, very comfortable, we have already booked next year stay!

Great home for an OIB family vacation
The home was well equipped with all that our large family needed for meals and family time. We loved that each BR had its own en suite. We enjoyed lots of pool time and appreciated the close proximity to the beach. Loved the upper deck for dolphin watching in the morning and listening to the surf in the evening. The elevator made groceries and luggage so much easier too.
Great home with lots of space and amazing views. Owners were easy to get in touch with and ask questions about home. Elevator and heated pool is amazing!!

Great House
This house would have gotten a 5 had the elevator worked. Vacasa gave great service to try and have it fixed, but a part was needed. We were compensated for the inconvenience. I would definitely rent the house again for the closeness to the beach, cleanliness, and all that was supplied. Such a cute house. Great rental agency also that was on top of all our questions ( and we did keep them busy! haha). Thanks Vacasa!

Not As Thought
The house has a lot of potential. There is plenty of space for our family. Every bedroom has a bathroom which makes is nice. The view is wonderful. The kitchen is stocked. It’s a close walk to the beach.
Now for what went wrong: The electronic lock was broke, we ended up using one key all week, thankfully there was a lock box. The 1st floor didn’t appear cleaned, sand all over floor. The bedspreads were dirty & smelled. The pool turned bathings suits & naturally blonde hair green. There was a dark green ring around the pool that could be cleaned if kept up. Vines growing around pool & in chairs. Towels would get very dirty. I received 1/2 of the cleaning fee back which I should have since I had to clean BEFORE we began our vacation.
Again, this house would be very nice if kept up as the pictures show & cleaned as should be.
We picked this property because it had several main items we needed - elevator for my 89 year old father, a full size bed in all rooms with en suite baths, accepted dogs and had a pool that could be heated for an extra fee. The house was beautiful, the location and views were excellent. However, we did not check the pool heat until the following day (Sunday), no heat. When I called Vacasa, the mgmt co. they said they would have someone there first thing Monday morning. They did not show until around 1 pm and stated would take 12-24 hours for it to heat. There also was no phone call or notification back to us to let us know that they had even taken care of the problem. By the time it heated up on Tuesday half of our family members were leaving to go home. We enjoyed it on Wednesday, Thursday it rained. Our last full day, Friday, we planned on spending at the pool but for some reason it was no longer heated. When I called they stated they would put in a ticket for service - very frustrating. We did not get to enjoy the last day as planned and there again was no communication back to us from Vacasa. I am still waiting to see if they reimburse the full amount for the pool heat.
All that being said, the house and location were sooo nice that I would definitely rent it again. Just wish there was better communication
