What Might Have Been
Safe and nestled so closely to the beach, the Courthouse has so much potential. Two fridges to feed everyone is perfect! Space for our mini family gathering of 12 was plentiful, while our excitement gathered, it waned as we realized the home is older and noticeably so.  The interior spaces were big and open full of sunlight; however, there are no blackout curtains so no escaping the brightness. This place has so much potential but not loved.  Many fixtures were broken, hanging on or just missing. The air conditioners were clearly aging, and requesting families keep the thermostat at 74 degrees is not unreasonable; however, you should provide oscillating or box fans for each room to aid in the airflow at night since not all ceiling fans were working.  All of the patio furniture was just a giant disappointment.  Many of them were either broken or the panels were falling off resulting in smashed or pinched fingers. The paint had begun to come off of all pieces also, leaving your clothes and skin covered.  In our previous rentals the homes all had some mix of beach accessories, ie tents, beach chairs, beach wagon, a basket with beach towels or some combination of those.  This one had nothing, not one of those items. This is the first time we have used Vacasa, paying luxury price for 3 nights and getting budget product was a missed opportunity reviews we have read with some of their other rentals, Vacasa uses a very low cost management approach with their properties.  Paying

Wonderful place to enjoy the gulf!
The property was as described. We had three families and 14 people 8 kids 6 adults. The bedrooms were perfect for our kids and balcony rooms for the the adults. My parents stayed in the lower level with the whirl pool. Plenty of room for us and the second fridge made stocking up with food for our stay very convenient. One thing we were surprised about was the lack of dish towels and drying towels. We picked up some and left them there for the next guests.

Beautiful home with BREATHTAKING views
We had a girls trip at this house and as soon as I opened the front door I was met with the most beautiful view straight to the gulf. The rooms are all large and the beds are comfortable! I would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!

A very pleasant experience.
My family and I stayed for a long weekend in early January 2024. We arrived in the dark and rain. The gravel road to the house is a little tricky to see but it is marked with a Vacasa sign and the house number. The house was warm and very clean when we arrived. It was set up just the way you might have a vacation property with all the necessary blankets towels dishes etc. We were very pleased to find plenty of pots, pans, utensils etc as we planned to cook most of our meals. The kids (9-11) squealed with delight at the sight of the beach and ocean. They had a great time exploring the house. The location was exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet and off the beaten path but still within a short drive to all the tourist attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed walking out the back door and onto the beach. We fully intend to visit again.

Best experience ever
We have been taking family beach vacations for 30+ years. Our family has grown and our needs have changed. However this property met all of our needs. Large kitchen, two refrigerators plenty of seating, bedrooms are ample size and configuration of beds could not have been better. Parking was adequate And the beach was only steps away. The property manager was on top of her game. We loved all aspects of this rental

The Courthouse was GREAT!
We stayed at the Courthouse June 8 - 18, 2022. The house was as advertised--spacious, well kept, comfortable and had great access to the beach! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, cooking utensils, especially having 2 frig; beds comfy; house stayed cool; great water pressure; and a gorgeous back porch to enjoy coffee in the mornings and a fantastic view. The boardwalk was fabulous for easier beach access. We had a couple of plumbing issues, but services were great and problems fixed same day. We might suggest a larger W/D and some working small appliances e.g. blender, coffee makers and more kitchen towels. We also had a bit of a problem with ants in the kitchen and dining room. All in all, this was a FABUOUS retreat for my 60th Birthday Beach Bash!!! Thank you for allowing us to stay at the Courthouse! Kelly Ernst and Tom Clark
