The location was awesome. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The unit offered plenty of space for our family of 11. Downside: pool is not kid friendly- the only place young children can touch is on the second step.

Awesome place to stay!
So much space. Updated and beautiful. Large balcony and the views were amazing! Our family had a great time and enjoy our accommodations.
This penthouse was the perfect setting for the six couples that went to the wedding. It was six bedrooms with ample living space and beautiful views. It was not far from the wedding venues and right on the beach.
It was perfect for our three generations of family. The were plenty of spaces for all of to have fun.

I really should have listened to the reviews. The place has filth that comes from not having a proper cleaning in months, if not years. Mold in showers, thick dust on ceiling fans, sandy floors, sticky counters and broken drains in bathrooms. I should note, Vacasa offered to have a crew come back and clean 24 hours after we were in the unit. We declined because we spent time cleaning surface area stuff(disinfecting counters and sweeping sand and debris off floors) the day before while moving in and all of our things were in the condo and people were in and out enjoying vacation. While the location is perfect, has excellent amenities and the number of bedrooms suited our large family, we will be looking elsewhere for a future rental in OCMD.

Hesitant at first, but very pleased!
We were initially very excited about finding this place, but then became very nervous when we read the many negative reviews - especially about the cleanliness. I am VERY picky when it comes to the cleanliness of a place. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the condo was very clean and comfortable. The place is huge and very comfortable for the 10 adults we had staying there. Even in the shared living room space, it never felt cramped or tight. The couches were very clean and comfortable to sit on. The bedrooms all had ample space and dressers to store your belongings. The bathrooms, kitchen, counters, floors were all clean. All of the sliding doors were in working order. In my opinion, all rentals should undergo deep, DEEP cleans throughout the year, and while this place is in need of a super DEEP clean (as I imagine most are), the surface clean was up to my high standards. The drains in the showers were impossibly slow, which made the water fill in the tub while you showered, but that should be a quick fix. The views from this place are absolutely incredible!! Overall, we were comfortable and happy with our stay.

Hi Megan. Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us! I’m so glad to hear that you were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of the condo, especially after your initial concerns. It’s wonderful to know that the space was ample for your group of 10 adults and that you found the living areas and bedrooms comfortable.
I appreciate your insights regarding the need for a deep clean. Your high standards are completely understandable, and I will ensure that your feedback is shared with the cleaning team for consideration. We strive to maintain a high level of cleanliness, and your comments will help us improve.
I’m also sorry to hear about the slow drains in the showers. That’s definitely something we can address quickly, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the incredible views! Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Loved the place but they need to fire the cleaners.
We loved the location and the condo. Perfect for a large family. Pros: Plenty of beds and social areas. Really nice to have beverage area separate from kitchen area. Lots of refrigerator and freezer space. The walk to the beach is longish but very safe. The cons: it was filthy. The bathrooms were ok. One bedroom looked untouched there was a plastic cup under the bed, trash behind the door, sticky drink rings on the bedside table and when I fluffed the bedspread a cloud of sand came off. But the kitchen was the worse: dried meat blood on the refrigerator shelf, the counters were disgusting. Cooking utensils had dried food. The vacuumed had no suction so we had to sweep the floors several times to get the sandiness to an acceptable level. I expect some sand we are at the beach but this was ridiculous. So we had to clean everything. Talked to Vacasa and they wanted pictures. I was cleaning and trying to watch a toddler. No, I didn’t stop to think to take pictures. The first 2 hours were spent cleaning and trying to text Vacasa. They could send cleaners in the morning but by that point we had already done it all. Other con- all the chairs in the house are bar height which can be challenging but worse was the bare metal legs against the stone floors. They could easily be fixed with felt pads or something. The fact that the fire alarms went off while we were trying to get out on time with an infant and toddler didn’t help. Vacasa staff just said they’d pass that on.

Our stay was nice. Ratings would have been higher, but we had ants & knats in our unit. Ants were even crawling on me. In addition 1 toilet backed up and drainage in 1 of the tubs was slow. Pillows are old and need to be replaced.

Penthouse Stay & Play
The location was very good, the Penthouse was nice but, filthy dirty. It accommodated us well and we had lots of fun. It is advertised with a roof top but, there are signs posted that you are not allowed on the roof top. The cleaning staff should be fired as the house hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time. Filthy, Filthy, Filthy, we had to clean in order to be comfortable. It is very clear that this house is not being cleaned or sanitized but, they charge a lot for cleaning we should receive a refund for the cleaning cost as we did the cleaning.

family vacation
We have a blended family but all 11 of us enjoyed the spacious rooms. There were spaces for those who wanted to enjoy each other company and other spaces to be more private. The pool was a nice alternative to the ocean as the waves were too rough for the youngest members.
The view and the location were perfect for the entire family . The home was very clean and spacious . 5 stars

Calamity of Corrections
It was a pleasure to deal with the staff at Vacasa. This is what truly made our trip. I was traveling with a big group for Memorial Day Weekend when there was a serious issue in the home we rented. Seeing as we couldn't stay in this accommodation anymore, the staff at Vacasa switched us into 1705 Fountainhead Towers (a stunning apartment) and turned a bust of a weekend into a real treat. I would highly recommend Vacasa and this apartment.
