The pool was unusable. Washer/dryer didn’t work. One of two bathroom showers didn’t work. It was very difficult and my family left after our first night. At least Vacasa has assured us of a refund and the neighborhood was nice. That is all I can say was good about it. ##### Emily C. ### 2/10 Terrible #### megan m. 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### The Green Lagoon! The listing was not accurate to what we walked in on! House was clean but had old house smell. Which didn’t bother us! What bothered us was the fact we drove over 5 hours to be told on the way there that the pool had “skimmer” problems! Yeah no when we got there pool was so green and dirty u couldn’t see bottom! It was blown off by vacasa! Like oh they will come and clean it on Tuesday, mind you it was Saturday! No we paid more for fact we had a pool! Now we couldn’t use it! Was very upset and ended up moving properties! They should really rethink the name for this place to the “Green Lagoon”!!!!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74077690-f467-4529-ae07-37378a1ec37f-1750204423152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### megan m.

The house looks nice and is convenient to the beach. My kids loved having the pool. However, there were some issues, like no towel racks, no wall electricity in the master, and the constant cockroaches crawling everywhere. ##### Erin H.

Unique floor plan surrounding the pool & courtyard area. The home's floor plan allowed our extended family private "wings" of the house but central living areas to gather together. The weather didn't agree 100%, but our nephews enjoyed the pool nonetheless. ##### Scott B.

The place has everything you need even if local retail stores are close due to bad weather. Power went out but that was out of their control. ##### Victor C.

It’s could use a few appliance upgrades, the dishwasher was being worked on while we were there and the dryer took a long time to dry anything. The pool was cloudy when we arrived but the pool company came out and cleaned and treated it right away. Overall it was a great house. ##### Jennifer B.

So much space inside and out, my girls are ready to book again for next year. Very family friendly, lovely kitchen for big family dinners and nice private pool. We did have a couple of minor issues upon check-in, AC, Shower Drain, wet floor. We contacted Vacasa and they had a very friendly maintenance man out within the hour. We would rent Blue Lagoon again without hesitation. ##### Rachel B. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jaime H. 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Beware We got moved to another property. The pool is horrible. It does not look like the pictures. It was dirty and not maintained. The pool deck is horrible looking. The pool furniture is rusty. This property needs power washed on the exterior and pool deck. The inside floor was not cleaned by the cleaning service. There were roaches on the inside. ##### Jaime H. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thomas W. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Blue Blue Lagoon Vacation We arrived early after driving over four hours to get there! We were told the home wouldn’t be ready until at least an hour and a half to 2 hours later than the advertised check in time of 4:00pm! Once we did get into the home we found a host of issues. A receptacle cover was missing, the master bedroom toilet seat cover was broken and the toilet needed plunging after every use. The other toilet seats were loose as well. There were lights not working at the outside back doors to the pool! The pool was very cloudy and unclear. The patio area was very unclean to include broken glass,a rusted fish hook,cigarette butts, other trash and leaves and bamboo! Not to mention the patio furniture was dirty as well! For the money this place cost we were very disappointed in the condition! Wouldn’t recommend this place until changes are made to both upgrade the pool and home! ##### Thomas W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brittany K. 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Unacceptable Arrived to this property only to open the door to some form of water leak that upon discovery of where it was located was clear that it had to have been known about by at least the cleaning service as there was a jug of water and pipe parts next to the leak. Immediately contacted the phone number for issues to which they responded quickly and were sending someone out. Then proceeded to check the rest of the home and discovered a drove of roaches (roaches happen at the beach, the problem was the amount of them), then it did not appear the location had been cleaned thoroughly and in examining the space discovered a disgusting pillow stored in the closet with additional wares. The smell of moldly mildew was strong throughout the house. Poorly maintained and such a shame because with proper care it would be lovely. I have never been so disappointed, you hear about things like this happening but never expect it to be to you. We left immediately and requested a refund and Vacasa has poorly communicated since and has not offered a reasonable refund. They could have easily released the location for some other poor soul to rent but chose not to, why I have no idea and now I'm being financially punished for their negligence of their property. Would not recommend this location nor booking with Vacasa. ##### Brittany K. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anthony Q. 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Vacation Online listing was great. Upon arrival, the rooftop had major debris and gutters were clogged. Nothing was done about this. The pool was very dirty and took 48 hrs to be cleaned. I spent 4 hrs cleaning it myself. Trip hazards located around the pool. Missing cover located at pool skimmer. Damaged pool trim. A sharp broken knofe was locwted at pool deck. Pool deck was very dirty. Crab shells and food was found at pool deck. Broken bedroom drawers, dryer took 3 rounds to dry clothing, master bedroom patio door sweep fell off, trash never picked up during our stay(9 people total creating waste) was very disturbing. There was also a large dead squirrel on the patio upon our areival that my 2 year old found. I remived it myself as it took 5 hours for maintenamce to show up. I was told the property was under new ownership and the owner was not aware of these issues that existed. I was in contact about this and many other issues during our stay. I was told someone woukd come out to resolve these issues which never happned. I was then told I would be credited or refunded and someone would reach out about this but no on has as of yet. ##### Anthony Q.
