This condo had a fantastic view and location. The beach access was easy and the pool very nice and clean. Overall, Windemere was a great property.
Now for some criticisms of 1505.
When we arrived, we dropped our things, took in the view, then headed out for dinner. When we returned and began unpacking we noticed how dirty and beat up the place was. I called Vacasa and reported with pictures of stains on the walls, dust, and dirt. They did send cleaners out the next day. Someone sloshed wine all over the kitchen, patio, and patio furniture. Vacasa did clean but whoever cleaned before us did a awful job. The condo itself needs painting and upkeep. The walls are all scratched and beat up/dirty. Kitchen cabinets are broken. The kitchen is stocked VERY minimally, so lots of hand washing. No oven mits.
No area rugs or mats anywhere to help control sand. Sand was a battle the entire time despite our best efforts.
The TV’s in the bedrooms DO NOT WORK. Vacasa or hosts did not respond to me on this after inquiring the first night
Beware if you drive a SUV or truck! The parking is TERRIBLE and tight. Huge concrete turns that are far too tight.
Windemere itself is fantastic. But we essentially paid for a view. This was our one big family vacation this year and we did not get what we paid for. I always book through Vacasa and have never had issues before. Vacasa needs to hold this host and your janitorial accountable. This one missed the mark.
