Nice property-bad management
Well, first the good part : it’s a beautiful home well decorated, lots of space, well stocked to do anything you need. Clean and inviting. Not too close to town but We walked and biked and Ubered alot! Now for the disappointing part : On arrival (in the pouring rain)the door lock was dead and wouldn’t respond to the code we entered that we had been provided. We contacted the Vacasa hotline and they were able to talk us through accessing the lockbox with keys. The dryer had been stuffed with 4sets of sheets and several towels and they were still wet. It took us all evening to dry and fold 3 loads of their laundry. The dryer does not work correctly which I think was the problem. I received text messages from the corporate vacasa people who never seemed to be able to communicate with the local vacasa representative. I requested a late check out to compensate us for our troubles. (Since there is no place to store luggage on this island in October and our ferry did not leave until 4) It seemed a reasonable request but the local vacasa representative would not respond to the corporate ones that were texting me. What poor business practices. Owner I would expect better service from them and I’m sure you’re paying good money for it. Your place is SO lovely but dealing with Vacasa was not good.

Door broken
We got back to house last night and the electric door lock was broken. Spent hours trying to fix it etc and could not get in the house. Finally jammed back door to get in at midnight. Not happy at all about this. Please contact me.

Poor amenities and no communication
This place is nice but bare. No amenities or stuff that should be there for a rental on VRBO. 1) Worst though - the place should be a walk from town. Nantucket had 15" of rain three days before and the road leading from town to the property was flooded. Property management had ample time to call and let us know. Instead we come to a section of street that is 3 1/2' of water and we have to track back to town and then a 47 minute walk back. No cell service so couldn't call an Uber - but the whole point was to be a walk from town. Disappointing. 2) The TV's didn't have any subscriptions. Like none. When you're renting an expensive place in an expensive location shouldn't the place have TV? Or at least a one pager explaining that their too cheap to have any TV subscriptions? The guest has to spend 30 minutes going through each app to finally come to the realization that this place has no subscriptions! Not one...No ESPN and no football for the five or six TV's this place has... 3) No K-Cup coffee maker. Really? This day in age? For as much as they charge that's table stakes for a rental. 4) Checking in the code the company sent did not work. Have to call into a call center (Hold time) and then get manual instructions for a key lock box at the door. The auto door thing didn't even work let alone try to enter a code. Just send the lock box code from the beginning and no call necessary.

Broken toilet seat kinda killed the vibe
The house was so cute, loved the property & that we got to bring the dog. But the first floor toilet seat was broken - making it nearly unusable which was a bummer for a family of four. That said, we loved the decor, finally figured out the free shuttle & would come back.

Renter be warned!
Unfortunately, this was the worst rental we’ve ever experienced. While the house is updated and offers plenty of space for 5-6 people, there were some issues that are 100% unacceptable and the worst part was the complete lack of response/support from Vacasa (the “host”) during our stay. The main issues were 1.) The back sliding door had a BROKEN LOCK making it possible for an intruder to enter the home at any time, putting our safety at risk. 2.) The A/C unit in the downstairs bedroom was covered in MOLD, putting our health at risk. 3.) The dryer was stuffed full of 3 loads worth of towels and sheets when we arrived. Because it was overloaded, it didn’t dry thoroughly so we had to rewash, dry and fold it, which was obviously an inconvenience. We contacted VACASA daily seeking support/resolution and they told us everyday that we’d be contacted by the “local team”; however we didn’t get a response until our last day in the house (5 day rental). We’ll never rent from Vacasa again and felt it was important to make others aware of their outrageous business practices. You deserve better on your vacation!
