Good for small group
The location was great, but having one bathroom a definite drawback. There is also not much indoor space to just hang out. There are plenty of beds, but I can’t imagine having that many people in this small house.

Too small, no place to gather
The house and property are significantly smaller in real life compared to the listing. We had some cleanliness issues and the manager brought in a crew the next afternoon, but we had to manage until then. There is no place inside the house to sit other than stools or benches. It was awkward for meal times and we couldn’t sut and relax together.

Good birthday family weekend stay
It was good short stay. The pictures raised your expectations a bit too high in comparison to size of rooms. Good location, clean, quiet neighborhood.

Lovely house on cape cod
Although the house was nice, there were a few issues (not all of them significant). The property listing should explain that there is no living room space, so nowhere to hang out as a family, watch tv, etc. but the biggest issue was with the management company, Vacasa. They were really responsive all the way to the last day when we asked for a late checkout (we asked for 2-3 hours). They didn’t respond, and when they did they had bad information, and it became moot and we left on time, but really for no reason. No one else was checking in that day and it was really disappointing. We will not be booking any Canada listings in the future.

Great location. House had everything we needed. Well stocked.
The house was not clean. We cleaned for 2 hours. Swept up a ton of dog hair. All pillows in the living room and furniture on the porch was covered with doge hair. I understand it was pet friendly and we brought our dog but the house was not clean. After we cleaned, we enjoyed our stay and the house.
