Would Not Recommend

I chose this property because we were looking for an affordable condo on the beach that would fit our family of 5. It seemed to have great reviews but I’m wondering if those reviews were real bc we def did not have that experience. On a positive note, Check-in process was seamless and could have even checked in early, view from the balcony was lovely. Now on to the negatives. We arrived around 9pm and immediately realized there was no bedding for the couch bed and sand in one of the bunk beds. I texted Vacasa and no reply so I went to the front desk and they said to call Vacasa. I texted again and this time received a reply to “check everywhere for the bedding” this texting went on for 2 hours, and even on till the next day. The existing bedding on every bed consisted of 2 paper thin sheets so we covered up with our beach towels. The next day Vacasa told us to go to Walmart and buy the bedding we needed as there was no one to service our condo!!The hot water tank will only fill the tub about halfway before running out. The couch was FILTHY, terribly stained. Not fit for sitting or sleeping. Bunk bed ladder had a broken rail. I wish I could submit pics, just lots of little things that looked old, broken etc…. Main bed is very uncomfortable and squeaky. AC unit works but drips loudly and constantly. Overall I would rate the condo 6/10, it def needs some repairs, but unfortunately the non-existent Vacasa customer service was a 0/10. Would not recommend or ever rent from Vacasa.

Great location, beach was amazing, condo has 5-6 beds on the beach, sauna great, steam room nice, workout facility was decent! Overall had a great time. Our room was clean, nothing stood out as "wish the room would of been...." We would stay here again for sure and actually thinking about renting for extended time.

The view was absolutely stunning. The furniture was disgusting. The pullout couch cushions and mattress were dirty, the bed in the master was incredibly hard and squeaks. The lounge chairs are more comfortable than the bed!! One pool is supposed to close at sun down, everything else at 10. Security closed all amenities at sundown. Even the gym, sauna and steam room.
Pull out cushion we had to cover with sheets.
