The only good thing was location that’s it. Room is much smaller and cramped than perceived in the pictures. Your room is assigned two parking spots but you have to pay 40 for each parking spot and you have to have cash. It would’ve been nice if that was in the description. The code to get into the door was 10 digits long, that was a little inconvenient considering we had to keep going back and forth looking at the code to type it in. There were no shelves on the door of the refrigerator or freezer. The remote in the living room and guest bedroom were both broken. There was absolutely NO communication AT ALL! I contacted management company twice and never heard anything back from them. It’s a good thing we didn’t get locked out of our room or something serious because then we would’ve been doomed for sure. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Amanda. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. It’s clear that we fell short in several areas, and we take that seriously. We understand how important clear communication is, especially when it comes to accessing your home away from home. It’s disappointing to hear that you didn’t receive a response when you reached out, and we’re committed to improving our communication moving forward. We also regret that the size of the room and the parking situation were not as you anticipated. We strive to provide accurate descriptions and will review our listings to ensure they reflect the true experience. The issues with the refrigerator shelves and the remotes are certainly not the standard we aim for, and we will address these maintenance concerns right away. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. We’re dedicated to making improvements and ensuring that every guest feels cared for and comfortable during their stay.

Great Condo!

Great location, so convenient to shops and restaurants. Easy access to beach. We loved being able to park so close to the unit and the pool was great, very quiet and relaxing. The unit was perfect for us, it had everything we needed. We did miss having our own washer/dryer but for a short stay it was not a big deal. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and well kept.

Very clean, besides your typical sand on some of the floor. Clean lines and towels, enough for everyone. Setup was great for a trip with family, including kids. Didn't enjoy having to pay for the parking, but would gladly stay again. The balcony was nice. Weather was too chilly to try out the pool, but seemed very clean like the place itself.

Upon arrival the smartlock would not unlock. Called Customer Service,explained the problem and that we noticed a lockbox with our unit#. They gave us codes to try for the lockbox , they didn't work. We couldn't retrieve a real key. The rep eventually gave us a new code for the smartlock and after several attempts it worked. However, it only functioned intermittently. Upon entering the condo I did a quick walk through taking pictures of the things to document the condition. Altogether it looked good. A few pieces of furniture were damaged but no big deal.There were three televisions in the condo. Not a single remote worked. Only one would even turn on a TV, but then the navigation buttons didn't work properly.The next day a guy from maintenance showed up and replaced the battery in the smartlock. He then witnessed it failing several times. He called his company and again they could not find a combination for the lockbox so that I could get an actual key. The nice lady on the phone assured me that someone would be by the next day to replace the lock and that she would bring a key.That was the last I heard or saw the management company.I bought a remote at Walmart and watched Youtube to learn how to program the other remotes. There was a cake pan under the sink overflowing with nasty water from a leak in the plumbing. It spilled,Didn't expect 5 start resort. Didn't expect to be climbing through a window for 5 days.Everyone dropped the ball.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Kevin. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry for the challenges you faced during your stay. It’s clear that the issues with the smartlock and the remotes caused unnecessary frustration, and we understand how that can impact your overall experience. We take pride in maintaining our homes to high standards, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short in this instance. The plumbing issue you encountered is certainly not what we want for our guests, and we’re addressing it with our maintenance team to ensure it’s resolved promptly. We’re grateful for your patience and resourcefulness in handling the situation, especially with the remotes. We want every guest to feel comfortable and cared for, and it’s clear we missed the mark this time. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve our services and ensure a seamless experience for everyone. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. We’re committed to making your next stay much more enjoyable.

Overall we had a very good experience at this place. The only complaint that I had was in the booking process. The customer support from the Vacasa was definitely lacking. Otherwise the unit was fine. Keep in mind you do have to pay for parking.

The property was very nice and very well taken care of. Steps away from the beach! Enjoyed our time together. Only complaint would be the king size bed...very uncomfortable. Sank in really bad and the sheets did not fit the bed so we wound up sleeping on the plastic mattress protector.
