Oceanfront vacation rental FAQ

[H3]

What is the difference between an oceanfront home and an ocean view home?

A home is designated as oceanfront based on its close proximity to the water. Ocean view homes have views of the water. Some Vacasa homes are oceanfront in addition to having an ocean view.

[H3]

Do oceanfront rentals come with towels for guest use?

Our vacation rentals come stocked with bath towels, but most do not include beach towels for guests to use.

[H3]

Is there an outdoor shower?

Most Vacasa homes do not have outdoor showers. Call us at 800-544-0300 and we'll be happy to answer any questions about home amenities.

[H3]

Is there parking nearby for my car, trailer, RV, or boat?

The description of an individual home will note if a certain type of vehicle is not permitted in the parking area. If you have questions or concerns about parking, call us at 800-544-0300.

[H3]

Can I take my dog to the beach?

Vacasa offers hundreds of pet-friendly vacation rentals where dogs are allowed on local beaches. But before you book, be sure to check local rules and policies about bringing dogs to the beach.

[H3]

Does beach gear, like tents and chairs, come with my rental?

Some Vacasa properties do have beach tents and chairs for rent. Feel free to call us at 800-544-0300 with any questions about what is included with your reservation.

[H3]

Where is the best place to rent a beach house?

We offer beach homes that cater to a wide array of vacation styles. Choose from bustling getaways like Myrtle Beach and Gulf Shores, or more peaceful areas like North Carolina’s Outer Banks and the Washington Coast.

[H3]

What is the best beach vacation for families?

Vacasa makes it easy for you to find a great family vacation home right on the beach.

This house has all the comforts of home! Especially equipped for doggies with doggie beds, blankets, toys, and other things. A nice big fenced backyard. A very relaxing place to hang out.
Cathy L., guest in Florence, OR

The fenced-in yard was perfect for our two dogs and playing yard games! We loved grilling dinner and eating on the porch. There were many nice touches like ... bowls and toys for the dogs and the games in the home that added to our stay. We would certainly stay here again!
Katie D., guest in Sugarloaf, CA

The house was so cute. Absolutely loved all of the dog decor and how dog-friendly it was—they had a dog dish and a bucket already lined with a bag to use for your dog food if you want, dog toys, a dog blanket available, doggy bags, and more!
