Great! Best view we’ve ever had from an accommodation. Beautifully furnished with everything you need even stocked with games. Golden Sands has indoor and outdoor pools, gym, game room, private beach, tiki bar with food and drinks and more. Highly recommend.
I have been renting at Golden Sands for many years. This apartment was the best. Nicely decorated & cleaned. Love the key entry system and the linens. Great week!

Amazing stay, highly recommend
I normally don't write reviews but this apartment deserves a good review. It's a great apartment with great views and amenities. But what really stood out was how well maintained it was with many little thoughtful things around the apartment to make you feel welcome. It was extremely clean and a stack of clean towels was waiting for us when we got there. The kitchen had good appliances and lot of dishes, pots and pans to be able to make breakfast or a good meal. Good beds with a lot of sheets and pillows. Overall a very relaxing stay with everything you need to enjoy with family or friends.

This was an excellent unit. Best we’ve ever had at the Golden Sands. All top of the line accessories. We’ve stayed in many of their units but this is by far the best ever. It’s obvious the owners love their unit.

Amazing views!
This unit was great! It is nicely decorated, lots of hooks to hang things, master bedroom has an amazing view of the ocean. Appreciated all the ceiling fans and air conditioning the week we were there. The location is close to the grocery store and some restaurants. There are limited elevators so sometimes we had to wait but we could also take the stairs! Highly recommend this rental!
We loved this unit!! It not only looked just like the photos, everything you could possibly need was there. From your linens, towels to starter packs of cleaning supplies and paper products. The view was beautiful, there’s literally nothing bad we can say about our stay here. If we come back to OC, we will definitely rent 817 again!

817 GB is perfect for small families
Bathrooms & kitchen nicely remodeled. Small unit with plenty of storage for your belongings except hall closet has full size washer & dryer which leaves little room for beach gear. Large condo building so had to wait for elevators from time to time. Not a deal breaker, you just need patience. Pool, tiki bar & ice cream shop were a bonus.

Nice condo but marijuana and air conditioning a problem.
Over all the condo was very nice. The AC struggled some even with the doors consistently kept closed. And there was a very strong odor of Marijuana coming through the ventilation and in the hallways the entire time we were there. Having 2 small kids exposed to that for a week is absolutely not okay.

Best condo
This is the best condo I’ve ever stayed at, we have booked this three times and just booked our fourth visit already. They thought of everything, with full size washer and dryer, updated appliances and kitchen supplies, to comfortable beds and furniture. It’s clean, comfortable, and cute. The WiFi has improved, as is the hot water, and the additional hooks on the wall were very helpful. The tv is easier to use now and the furniture on the balcony is perfect. You can tell this unit gets thorough cleaning - the owners must go the extra mile and it shows. I could name so many little details they thought of, providing hangers and night lights, rugs are all in the perfect spots, and lots of storage. Thank you for taking such great care of it, as the other guests who stay too who treat with it respect. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!
Pros- decorated nicely-comfortable beds
Cons-
Too bright in second bedroom due to hall light. Bring eye mask.
Elevators are very slow and don’t always work. We were stuck for 20 minutes with call button and alarm not bringing anyone to help.
Noise - renters or owners above made a lot of noise. Sounded like furniture being moved from early morning until late at night.
Would not rent in his building again.

Our favorite condo
We love all the updates this unit has! One thing to know is with Vacasa now linens are included. It doesn’t say that anywhere! Check in is at 2pm but when we got to our condo it was not cleaned yet! I called CSC and they said check in is 4pm - but everything I received said 2… I was transferred to the manager at Vacasa and they had the cleaning crew to our room within 10 minutes. We also did not get our starter kit bc of the mix up. But we loved the condo and booked it again already. This is our second time staying. The large washer and dryer is a game changer. Updated kitchen sink appliances are so nice. We love the bathrooms and the water and ice in the fridge is an awesome perk! Silver wear and dishes are all updated and nice. Literally everything is nice. Mattresses are comfortable. The wifi is probably the only thing that stinks so you use data all week. And the hot water seems to be turned really low. We had 5 in our family and it was difficult all taking showers back to back, definitely ran out of hot water. I wish they would turn it up because it’s a huge tank and we paid for a large room with 2 bathrooms for a reason. But all in all we plan to keep booking the room, this is the nicest I’ve experienced. Thank you for keeping this unit so nice!
