Wonderful location and amenities! Awesome ocean view! The only request for future patrons would be a softer mattress for the murphy bed. It was WAY TOO firm!

Great place to stay
This was a great place to stay. Clean. Close to every thing. My only complaint is there was no broom and the hotel did not have one to give us so we went and bought one to keep up with the dirt and sand

Robert, thanks for your feedback. We have shared it with the property manager and owner for consideration as we highly value our guests' preferences. We look forward to hosting you for a great stay in the future.
This condo was very clean and offered everything we needed. It had a resort vibe because all of the amenities on the property. Indoor and outdoor pool, tiki bar, volleyball and tennis, cornhole and shuffleboard and a very short walk to the beach. Being able to watch the sunrise from the balcony was an added bonus! We are looking forward to staying here again!

The best experience.
The room and the view from the balcony was the very best. There was no need to go anywhere else. It gave us a resort vibe. We enjoyed the tiki bar and all the drinks. And the food was fantastic. Also, we enjoyed the ice cream shop and bakery. I would love to return to this place again.

Small space but well planned!
We loved the style and decorations of the place! The space was small but well-designed! My daughter was amazed that the bathtub was her favorite color- blue! Kitchen had everything we needed, even a blender! The balcony was nice and the whole area was peaceful and quiet. We loved having food and a gift shop right on the premises!
Overall very happy with everything, but im not too picky. If i was to nitpick, id say in needs a screen door installed, the sceen did fall out, but im handy enough to be able to reinstall it. Id definitely stay here again!

Just what we needed
This efficiency is perfect for two people and the building has lots of amenities (pool, private beach, reserved parking, bar). The unit has great oceanfront views as well. Bring your own pillows though. The pillows provided are of the poorest quality. Other than the tissue paper-like pillows, this is a great place.

Would stay again and recommend this condo!
It is a very cute studio condo. Perfect for just 2 people. It was clean with lots of storage. Linens are provided. It was great for a small weekend trip! The only thing we didn’t love or understand is that the fan didn’t appear to have a light in it and if it did, we couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. We will be recommending this condo to our family and friends :)!

Lovely stay!
Very nice little condo! No bedrooms, but that worked for us since it was just us and our toddler. The Murphy bed is definitely firm, so hopefully you like firm. Didn’t try out the sofa bed to compare though. The kitchen was completely stocked with Dishes, silverware, cookware, strainer, coffee pot, toaster, etc. We would definitely book this condo again!

This condo was new. Very clean and nicely decorated. It needed a few things that will come with time. An end table with lamp, ottoman and some coasters would be nice. Other than that, perfect.

Enjoyed everything but the tv and litttle children in big pool rather than childrens pool. The pool had to be closed because of an accident so the adults suffered by having to leave. Otherwise enjoyed my first visit

Judith, thank you for reviewing your stay, we're so pleased you enjoyed it! We apologize for any issues that detracted from your getaway and want to note that had you contacted us, we could have assisted with any TV concerns that you had. We have shared your comments about children in the adult pool with the complex management and appreciate your feedback. We enjoyed having you as a guest and we hope to host you again.
this unit is on the 5th floor and we never heard anyone unless it came from outside, no footsteps overhead. all linens were provided. the parking garage has an exit that leads out to the beach, so we were able to keep most of the sand away by storing beach stuff in the car. they provided laundry and dishwasher pods as well.

Great condo in a great location!
Condo has a beautiful view of the ocean and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony with my morning coffee. Inside has plenty of storage and hooks, we were able to unpack and “move in” for our 8 night stay. The tiki bar has good food and drinks and is a lifesaver when you don’t want to leave the property for dinner. Other places in walking distance if you don’t want to drive. My biggest surprise was at how clean the condo was when I arrived. Not that I expected dirty but I’ve stayed at hotels and rentals and they usually aren’t this clean. No dust or sand anywhere, floors spotless (did I go looking for dust? Not at first but then it was a joke to see if the cleaners missed anything and they didn’t !) I will definitely be returning to this condo in the future !
Communication was a bit difficult with vacasa, our drain was completely blocked and we had no toilet paper to begin with so when I communicated with that they actually thought I was in a completely different state at a different property so that was a little odd and frustrating. Elevators are very very slow and crowded. The view was nice the bar was nice the live music could be a little quieter. Very very clean and I was glad for handicap ramp access as I had broke my foot 3 days before the trip.
We had a great time staying here. Golden Sands had everything we needed from beautiful sunrise views from our balcony to sunset views over the bay from out the back door to easy beach access to an ice cream shop, a bakery, and Tiki Bar with great Bartenders and fun drinks.
Condo was very cute. Exactly as advertised. It was clean and decorated very nicely. All the basics were provided such as clean linins and towels and the basics to get started such as dishwashing tabs, laundry pods and paper towels.
Previous reviews were pretty spot on...elevators were slow but manageable going up...going down, we often gave up and took the stairs. The mattress was firm in the condo. Only problem we had was that the cable went out on the last night we were there. They said they would send someone the next day but we were checking out so...
