Wonderful Stay
Views from the balcony were terrific. Room was clean with everything you need for an extended stay. Very well done would definitely consider coming back and staying here again. The property was well kept with staff constantly cleaning and access to the beach was easy and quick. Also the two pools on the property were a fantastic option to the beach.

Good stay, especially for the price
The only thing I will gripe about would be the sink stinking terribly… idk if it was the water after/during the storm, or the inside of the sink. It was rough. Other than that, great stay, great view

If you enjoy immersing yourself in an ashtray...
Disgusting. Completely reeks of an ashtray that's been used since 1975. Hasn't been updated in...never. Renter's business license displayed in the unit's hallway expired in May 2000. We brought our own pillows to sleep on but the smell of old cigarette smoke seeped into them over the course of our 2 night stay and we had to throw them in the garbage. Exactly where everything in that unit belongs.

Not terrible, but not great
My least favorite room that I've been in at this condo complex. Multiple missing slats in the blinds let sunlight in every morning at the crack of dawn. Spoke to someone about it almost daily and was never fixed. The carpet wasn't very nice, fridge has rust spots all over. Had to clean a lot of stuff before unpacking to feel comfortable. Owner didn't leave an actual blanket for the bed like they were supposed to, luckily someone downstairs at the vacasa office had a freshly cleaned one for us. We love the Golden sands overall but definitely won't be renting this exact condo again especially considering it was literally double the cost of 4 years ago. If you're gonna charge that much more, and I get it prices go up, at least maintain or keep things up.

Cute Suite, But Very Disappointed with Maintenance Staff
This was a great suite with newer furniture and very clean. Seemed to be remodeled recently. Was well stocked and the "gift bag" was great. Was also awesome to have the linens provided and the bed made. However, I was very disappointed when I saw the screen door on the balcony was totally removed from the tracks. I called Vacasa right away to report it. Got a call the next day and was told someone would come in a day or two. Nope. No one came. No one called. I called back twice for an update, but was told Vacasa closed it and handed it over to Golden Sands to handle. Yet, the whole week passed and it was not repaired. Was told as I was leaving that they needed to order a new door. Very frustrating since I paid for a room with a balcony to feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves at night yet wasn't able to do so. And why not just tell me the truth in the beginning instead of lying to me all week??? Not Cool.

Very disappointed!
I was so excited to rent this place. I am not sure where to start how trashy this place is. Its very very dated and everything smells. The front door its so hard to open, bathroom very dated and it always smelled. Bathtub/toilet were dirty as well. I did call and they said they would send someone to clean but i ended up cleaning it myself. The bathroom light switch i thought was gone fall in my hands each time. Carpet so old and dirty. Furniture so hard to sleep, dusty and old. Balcony very dirty and the door was so hard to slide. The fire alarm is hanging down and plastic tape has been placed to hold it. Kitchen sink was dirty and e every time you Opened the faucet it smelled. The owners really need to update this place. Outside the apartment it was even worse waiting half hour for the elevator each time. The only good thing i can say the view is great and Vacasa its pretty decent in responding. They did offer to clean it right away but it should have been done before we got there. We cut our vacation early. My husband started having back pain from sleeping in the bed. Unless this appt is renovated i do not recommend.
