We were pleased to discover that the kitchen was so well equipped - we have done family rentals for 13 years and usually are searching for some essential item for cooking - that was definitely not the case here! There were also plenty of glasses & silverware & large serving bowls so the dishwasher did not have to be run twice a day to keep up with demand. :-) The beach is just a short walk away and the neighborhood was quiet. It was also great to find that the yard is enclosed in a way that allowed our dog the freedom to be outside without supervision.
House was great for family of 9, location to beach was wonderful, close to Rock Away. Our only complaint was with the cleanliness of things: it took my husband an hour to totally scrub the barbecue so we could make dinner, frying pans literally had solidified grease in them, cobwebs on lights, we did not bring a dog with us but kept getting hair on us, only plastic wine glasses and 2 of those had major cracks in them so we threw those away.
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. Everything was clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked with plates, pans, and other cooking utensils, which was appreciated! We would definitely stay again.
Great location and the house was cozy. There were plenty of beds and there were good cooking and communal space. Towels were a bit stinky and neighbors were a lot closer than pictures suggested. Property manager was very helpful for questions and great access to the beach!
The house was clean, the appliances all worked great, the knives were sharp, the neighborhood was quiet and the blinds did a great job of keeping the bedroom dark. We would definitely recommend this place, and would be happy to stay there again.
Check-in was easy, and communication with the property managers was great and simple. No complaints.
Thank you!!
The house was perfect for our group! We felt right at home and were able to find everything we needed. The owners have thought of everything to include in the house even sâmore roasting sticks. We will stay again!
Generally a nice rental, we loved that it was dog friendly and it had a great kitchen and patio, but could use some small improvements.
Location- nice and safe neighborhood, but itâs about a 10-15 min walk to the beach which is a little further than we would have liked, but they provide a beach cart which was very helpful.
Kitchen is nice and large, and generally well equipped but we had the following issues: I believe the freezer ice maker is broken, I reported this to vacasa but they didnât offer much help since it wasnât listed in the rentalâs amenities. However, there werenât any ice cube trays so I believe the ice machine recently broke. We had to buy ice trays, which was a little annoying. Kitchen knives are VERY dull, basically unusable. The dishwasher has sand in it so if you wash the wine glasses they get sand caked onto the interior (wine glasses were like this when we arrived, but also appeared this way after running them through the dishwasher, so itâs a recurring issue). Dishwasher also doesnât have a typical lower rack configuration, which makes washing multiple of plates and/or bowls challenging.
Ping pong table was fun, but needs new paddles and balls. We bought new balls and donated them when we left.
Whoever stayed before us didnât completely pick up after their dog. As others noted the outdoor umbrella doesnât work and some interior blinds need repair.
Nice clean home with lots of spaces to hang out. The kids loved the ping pong table. Easy walk to the beach. I have never seen so much driftwood on one beach. We enjoyed sitting in the back room/kitchen watching the hail storms rolling through.
We had the best time! So much fun we wanted to add days but couldnât make it work. We came to Agate Habit with our baby and 2 pups. It was our first time away as a family of 3+2 dogs. This house was more than we needed but was so great to have all the space! The house was so clean! We felt at home from the moment we walked in. We spend our free time walking the trails, walking to the beach, or we drove to town for lunch and shopping. While at the house we played ping pong, made dinner, and sat on the patio! Weâve never been to this area of the coast and quickly became our favorite! The town is small but has everything you need. The beaches are fantastic! The neighborhood was adorable and quiet.
It was overall a good experience . There were a lot of stains on the carpet that we documented upon arrival. Bath towels smelled. It would have been nice to be able to have fans and open the windows for air, however the blinds were broken. Those are minor things. The house was nice.
This was a very comfortable house and a very nice to stay. There are enough sleeping spaces for eight people but with adults one per queen bed is the most comfortable. A quick five minute walk from the beach and itâs on a quiet street. Overall, a very nice place to stay. I would probably just ask for more communication and better response from the rental company, Vacasa.
The house set up nice. We loved the outdoor fireplace. However there was no TV in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The room that had a TV it did not have cable. The blinds in the master bed room dow stairs were broken. The umbrella on the patio was broken. The house also had a dog smell. These are minor fixes to improve future stays for guest.
Our family loves staying in this comfy cozy home. Peaceful neighborhood with great beach access. Well stocked and plenty of room for our multi-generational family of 8. We love the backyard fireplace and the ping pong table. Always a treat!
We stayed here with our son, daughter-in-law, grandson and our little 10 lb dog. It was wonderful having a main floor master and the kids just took over the bedrooms & bathroom upstairs. Very clean and well equipped. We loved the fireplace outside on the patio, very private and was perfect for those sâmores at dusk & an adult beverage after. Check in and out was a breeze with the Vacasa ap and via text.
The only downside was the inside gas fireplace does not work and they could use a good large nonstick skillet (but I would just bring mine next time) There is no âpowder roomâ on the main floor so unless you want to go upstairs to use the bathroom, you should be prepared for people going in and out of the masterâŠ.not a problem for us, just a heads up.
All in all a wonderful trip!!
Perfect house for family or friends to come together . Everything was clean and there was plenty of complementary supplies and towels . Lots of backyard space for little bbqs and more ! Loved that it was only about a 5 minute walk to the beach as well . The neighborhood was great, felt very safe and welcoming. Would definitely stay again !
First time staying at this property. Loved the area and the surroundings. We loved the trees and close walk to the near by beach.
The house was spacious and loved that the garage had activities for kids to enjoy their stay.
The only thing I would say is that cleaning could have been more thorough prior to check-in. Some of the bedding looked like it had not been washed, pillow case had a fresh stain. Floors were not swept or carpet vacuumed. We didnât mind cleaning up but not something we feel like we should be doing while on vacation. Overall, it was a nice home, perfect for families and perfect location for relaxation!
