We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on staying here again next summer. The space is great. Two bedrooms on one said of the condo and two on the other side with a door you can close to get some good privacy. Beds were comfortable. No problems with the code to the door, except that it’s as long as a social security number, or the Wi-Fi or tvs. That being said, really our only complaint is that the place just wasn’t clean. The floors didn’t seem vacuumed or mopped. The kids feet were black after being in the condo for a short period of time. Lots of dead bugs that showed it’s not being vacuumed either. Sucks to know you’re paying a decent cleaning fee and they are doing bare minimum cleaning. But like I said, we plan on staying again next year and will probably bring a mop with us.

This was our first time booking through Vacasa and staying in Pawleys Island, so I'm going to review those, in addition to this house.
First of all, Vacasa was great to work with. We had an issue with a booking which they quickly and happily resolved. We've booked with other big-name house rental companies before, as well as local beach companies, and Vacasa was way more responsive than the big-name companies and every bit as responsive as the local ones (and in some cases, better).
Second, this was our first experience in Pawleys Island. We've vacationed for years in the Outer Banks (Duck) but the last time we were there, we were dismayed by the narrow beaches. There was almost nowhere to go on the beach, even at low tide- there is so little beach space left (this was not the case years ago). In contrast, Pawleys Island has wide open beaches with plenty of space for all. We happened to have several days of rough water because of the Northeast wind, but my older kids still had fun boogie boarding and going in the water. We only ate out a couple of times, but the restaurants were great. We loved Huntington State Park, only a few minutes away. We saw lots of alligators and all kinds of birds.
Finally, getting to the property itself, we really enjoyed it. It's part of a big complex, but it never felt crowded or busy. The younger kids really liked having the small pool so close by. It's a little small for my older teens, but it was great to have this for my younger crew when the waves were too rough at the beach. Also, it was a less-than-five-minute walk to the beach so we could go back and forth easily (and check out the gorgeous sunrises for the early birds!). The house was pretty well equipped. I know a lot of people eat out on vacation, but for those who like to cook, I recommend bringing your own knife. Also, there's no large colander for draining pasta, etc. And the pics show a coffee maker, but there's only a Keurig, so come prepared (I had brought ground coffee and filters, but had to run out for k-cups). But the Food Lion is just across the street from the complex entrance, so it was easy to get things. These minor kitchen issues in no way detracted from our lovely vacation- just wanted to give others a heads up, fwiw. All in all, we loved our time there and would be happy to stay again. Thank you to the homeowners and Vacasa for a great vacation stay!
