Whispering Palms is stunning. The home is meticulously kept, spacious, and perfectly matched the listing photos. We spent a lot of time on the huge porches enjoying the unparalleled view. Overall, this house was incredible and we truly enjoyed our stay. Vacasa was also very helpful and responded promptly when we needed a new propane tank for the grill.
A few constructive criticisms:
(1) We noticed a number of reviews dating back many months that lodge complaints regarding ill-fitting sheets on the beds that easily pop off during the night. We hoped that after so many months and numerous reviews that raised this issue, the owners would've remedied it. However, it remained a problem for us as well. Given that we spent a lot of money to stay for a week, we thought it reasonable to expect appropriately fitting bedding.
(2) The listing references that the home has a Ring doorbell, but does not mention the two additional cameras recording on the property, including one on the back porch. While we certainly understand the owner's interest in monitoring entry/exit points, we feel that the additional cameras should be disclosed--particularly the one on the back porch, where it is reasonable to expect private conversations to take place. Again, no issue with the cameras being there, we just think that it should be disclosed to guests.
(3) As another listing noted, for the price, it would be nice for this home to have a wooden walkway to the beach. My older parents were there with us, and I expect they would've made the trip down to the water more frequently had they not had to traverse the sand dune to get there.
Ultimately, this is a lovely home that exceeded our expectations. You will not be disappointed by the quality of the accommodations, and the views and location cannot be beat.
