Ideal place to relax and enjoy the gulf. We had an issue with the balcony door and Liz was helpful and friendly. It was our oversight. There was plenty of room inside and on the balcony.

The condo had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. LOVED the views from the balcony (brought our binoculars and used them a ton)! Beach access and location doesn't get better than this!

Great view. The unit was a bit dated. Needs some TLC. The San Carlos is located within a cluster of high rise condos. Off season beach area was pleasantly sparse. Would be nice to provide a beach chair area to leave Sandy chairs and towels.

It is old, dirty and poorly maintained. Management hasn’t addressed issues that have been brought up for years.

Distressed property. Broken floor tile, beat up paint, ice maker on the fritz, dryer didn’t work, etc.

Overall, condo is beautiful, showing some wear, bed was very uncomfortable, squeaky, needs new sofa and chair in living area, cushions stained, sinks when sitting, indoor jacuzzi tub didn’t work, shower door and patio doors don’t latch properly. Floor tiles are broken, needs work! Disappointed!

What can you say about a property that didn’t have even the basics such as toilet paper!! No kidding - when we checked into the unit there was no toilet paper anywhere. Not only that, but the kitchen didn’t even have the basics such as glasses and cookware - not even a sheet pan or pizza pan not to mention very many cooking utensils. I give the manager in the VACASA office 10 stars however because when we let her know that we needed wash cloths and toilet paper she had it all waiting for us to pick up at the office down the street. Not only that, she showed up later with glassware, cutting boards, utensils and cookware for us. I am so sorry we didn’t get her name because she was awesome. Whoever owns this unit needs to take more pride in it. Broken tiles, a sliding door that was almost impossible to close, a shower door that was wonky and a garbage disposal that doesn’t work gives the appearance that they really don’t care. I speak wit experience because we own a vacation rental in Gatlinburg and would NEVER allow our property to get in such shape. We always make certain the kitchen is stocked with anything and everything someone might possibly need during their stay. We will definitely rent from VACASA again but will never book this unit in the future.

I loved the 12th floor views. They were great. My only complaint isn't with the condo, but other renters in the building. The Marijuana smoke at night on the balcony was so strong, you can't stay outside very long. This was the 2nd year in a row I've dealt with it.

We absolutely love this place. Blew out expectations out of the water. Located in a great area with things within walking distance and the access to the beach was perfect with us and our kids. Would 10/10 recommend.

8/10

I have stayed here multiple times; could use some refreshing & more comfortable chairs. On arrival, I received a text asking about any issues with condo. I had a few & most were addressed ASAP. A representative was sent and EJ was friendly & helpful. Very pleased with service. I will stay here again! Please report issues or they can’t be fixed!

We all say we don't spend that much time in the condo, but I still want to know I'm getting the value I'm paying for... Management Company: Vacasa needs to go. I've never had to provide personal information to the Management Company to get access to a condo. I've used VRBO several times now, and once paid, all has been good. Vacasa said they needed to know who was going to be in their property. Well, just because I can tell you where I lived in 1974, doesn't mean I'm the one going to your property. Too invasive for no good reason. Building: Pool and rest rooms are nice. Elevators are fast and hardly had to wait for them. Poorly insulated. Nothing done to mute noises from condo above. Whenever anyone flushes a toilet, you can hear it through the walls. Reminiscent of old hotels. Condo Positives: Great location - very convenient Excellent view from balcony Master bed is firm but comfy Shower water pressure and temp are very good Condo Opportunities ( I have pics but can't upload to review): Serious need of TLC Microwave has sign - do not use. They do have a new one on the counter as a substitute. Kitchen ceiling tray has extensive dust balls Floor tiles (as mentioned on another review) are loose. Carpets and area rug are filthy. I wouldn't walk in bare feet. Tile grout in high traffic areas is dark black versus light gray in areas of non use. Master bedroom light cover missing, but the lightbulbs work. The many artificial plants are old, dusty and really just need to go. The master bedroom shower door does not close all the way. Furniture in kitchen/living room not comfy. My husband sat in the accent chair and his bottom nearly hit the floor. Pantry door paint by handle is worn to the bare wood. The Condo needs a deep clean, repairs and updating.

We loved the condo Building San Carlos Condos. Our unit 1208 for the price needs major update. The Carpet in the bedrooms are nasty. Full of stains. Master bed mattress is uncomfortable. Furniture in living room is worn out and uncomfortable. The decor is very outdated along with the colors for the price it’s being rented. . I would not rent this unit again but I would rent a more satisfying unit at San Carlos.

This condo was in a great location (within walking distance) to restaurants and shopping. The views of the Gulf were incredible. The unit itself could use some updating. The shower door in master bathroom didn’t close, the blender was broken, and there were no extra sheets or blankets for the fold out bed. We found several items from previous guests under chairs, bed, etc. so cleaning crew is a little suspect. Towels provided were so cheap and thin you could see thru them. Despite all this the stay was ok, and the overall complex is great.

Property was spacious, looks to be an older unit. A few tiles busted in the kitchen, part of the microwave was broke and taped together, and master shower door wouldn’t shut. We weren’t in the condo that much during our stay, but could use a little updating. Location was great, and views were awesome.
