The Sunset experience.
Excellent rental right on the beach with beautiful sunsets.
Property could use a few updates but can be overlooked due to location.
Stayed for two weeks, had excellent weather. We did experience red tide and lost a few beach days, but it gave us time to explore the area. Would definitely return.

Perfect little place on the beach
It was an economical location right on the beach. After reading all the past reviews looks like the issues were addressed. All the appliances worked well. A/c was nice and cool. Water was always hot as needed. The mattresses seemed to be in new condition. Nothing in the cupboards except plate ware so you’ll need to bring the essentials. There are stores and restaurants within walking distance.

Location was great but…
No air condition for 4 days, no washer/dryer until 3/4 of the way through our stay, no hooks or anywhere to hang towels, awful pillows. Very small hot water heater, very small fridge. The whole unit was clean but shabby and needs paint, new couch & chairs and kitchen amenities. The staff was very responsive to the things they could take care of but said we would receive a partial refund and we haven’t yet. Beach access was the only thing that made it redeemable.

Great location No frills abode
I was traveling with my 90 year old mother so proximity to the beach was paramount. It was perfect for the location also quick to walk or bike to Publix and a few restaurants
I would have liked more attention to details like cutlery and kitchen supplies A sponge, two garbage bags, two dish washer pods and two washing machine pods were also provided We used none as the washer dryer were not operating ( we were offered compensation and new units to arrive upon our departure) Dishes needed to be washed at each meal to have clean for next so no use for dishwasher Grill worked and was easy to use
No functional beach chairs provided Plenty of towels, beach and bath
Finally cleaning crew could definitely pay more attention to every corner in each room Yuck
The ups outweighed the negatives if location is more important than amenities

Clean but old
Property is old and needs updating and some paint. Back door is clear glass with no privacy. We had to cover glass with black garbage bags since there were no blinds or curtains. Bathroom needs updated. Dirt between wall and washer/dryer.

Mother daughter vacation
I stayed here with my 2 adult daughters. First the code for the door didn’t work and it took us about 15 minutes with the people on the phone to finally open a lock box with an actual key to use in tv door. The place is much smaller then it looks in the pictures. It was not as clean as it should have been. The cable and Wi-Fi was out Saturday till Tuesday at 4, they did compensate us for that. We had 3 wash clothes for 3 people for the whole week. We asked for more and they brought us 3 more, so we went to the dollar tree and bought some. 1 of the twin beds was very squeaky every time you moved at all it would wake you up. The management people on the phone and the 2 guys that came to fix the cable were very nice!

Location the only positive
So much about this unit needs attention...master bed with a small coverlet across part of it instead of a bedspread; water running in bathroom sink splashing all over and making the floor wet (only stopped when we shut off cold water supply underneath); empty ice trays that we figured out had cracks (only partially explaining the dirty freezer floor covered in a sheet of ice), dishwasher that was hard to open and not secured to cabinetry (had to hold in place or it would fall forward when racks were pulled out); screen on back door flapping in the wind; dirty handprint on the wall; kitchen chairs with a sticky finish that we were only comfortable using if covered with towels; two TVs that we couldn't get to work even after hooking up the HDMI cable to the one on the wall and trying the various remotes (including one with sticky residue of duct tape and a missing battery cover); tiny stickers on floors and other places; an ironing board but no iron; welcome notebook with no useful information except trash pickup days (though garbage bins outside were never actually emptied). Received a text from Vacasa before we got there asking us to rate cleanliness. Gave them a 3 and replied with photos and details of issues we identified as soon as we had arrived (late evening). As we discovered other issues the next day, messaged them again. Never received any response until text on checkout day to say they hoped we enjoyed our stay. We could hear the ocean waves from the back patio and

Great Location on the Gulf but over-priced and in need of maintenance/ better management
My husband and I along with 2 young adult children just finished our stay. The positive:
It’s on a beautiful Gulf-side beach location with fancy houses going up by it. Close to everything as well and was clean with a couple of notable exceptions. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the beach and AMI.. The beach cottage is actually 2 units that are next to each other. It’s cute but in need of an overhaul including better local vacation rental management with excessive service fees charged for cleaning/local Vacasa property management, it was not worth the money that we spent in comparison to others. Know that I have rented via VBRO many times and always had great success with rentals, less so this time.
Here are some details:
-the unit is much smaller than it appears. There is no way that it could sleep 6. One could not pull out the sofabed and still get in the front door and there was no extra bedding.
-The tiny hot water heater is in a kitchen base cabinet and runs out after even 1 quick shower. We had 4 people so a lot of cold showers when we wanted to go somewhere at the same time.
-the fridge is tiny with missing side drawers that made it difficult to store items.
-missing essential item in kitchen like can opener that we had to purchase.
-the bathroom has rust and peeling paint by the shower and chipped paint vanity.
The walls need to be repainted throughout especially the master bedroom and bathroom..
The queen mattress needs to be replaced; the twin beds are fine.
Issues with Vacasa rental property management:
Vacasa had incorrect and conflicting information about wifi access that was a big deal bc my son and I had to work for a part of the time. Our rental neighbor couldn’t even get in to their unit initially bc of being provided the wrong code. Vacasa also had sent instructions about pool access when there was none to both units.
/Poor local support. Vacasa has a 24/7 offshore support center even when one calls the “local”number during business hours. It was frustrating after many attempts dealing with wifi access issue that we resolved ourselves and provided default network info back to Vacasa.
A local rep stopped by for a service call (not from us)and learned that the pre rental inspection hadn’t been properly done-(e.g. no new air filter and air vent caked w/heavy dust). To her credit, she took pics. & tried to help
In current state, I do not recommend.

This cottage is in a perfect location on the beach, very close. The owners need to provide some TLC to the interior. Painting, some repair (closet door in master was off hinges), essential kitchen equipment such as new pots/pans, cutting board, and veggie peeler. Hot water tank may need replacement as we had to wait 1/2 hour for hot water to return after one shower before another. Couch needs replacing. Mattresses in both bedrooms need replacement (indented in center on twins and on each side on queen). Light fixture cover in porch was missing and its ceiling fan only ran on one speed. Vacasa locally was very responsive.

Location Location Location
We absolutely loved staying at Playa Casanas! The location is amazing. The beach is not too crowded at all and being mere steps from the sand is priceless! The house is small but well equipped - our family of four fit nicely. I wouldn’t recommend it for bigger people or folks who want to stretch out as you may feel a bit claustrophobic. We had a few hiccups when we first arrived but they were settled quickly.
We loved staying there so much we tried to book a vacation for next year but sadly it looks like there is no availability- perhaps they are removing the house - and we are extremely disappointed that we have to find another place. It’ll be hard to match this location so hopefully it’s just an error on Vacasa’s part. We did leave two beach umbrellas for the next guests as well as beach toys so hopefully they go to good use!

Great beach access
Small beach house was fine for two adults and a small dog. Problems with the keyless entry that was not fixed until Thursday. Mattresses and frying pans need replacement. More lighting in living area would be nice. The water heater is very small and does not provide enough warm water for one shower. There were no hangers in the closets.

While the house is small, and the beds aren't the best, it's more than made up for by the location and its gorgeous backyard. It's near everything on the island, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Location was perfect! Had everything needed. Biggest issue was dirty walls, even a handprint, which would have been easy fix, washing the marks off. Refrigerator had no arms for shelves and no side or coffee tables to put drinks, etc. Very small living room and beds too hard. Can't beat the access to the beach, gorgeous. Enjoyed our time on the beach.

Nice duplex with a crowded beach
We enjoyed the duplex - it was small but very functional. The screened porch was our favorite feature! We didn’t love the beach, though, because it was very crowded. We expected to have some space to ourselves since we paid to rent a beach front home but crowds of people were there, especially on Saturdays. There was lots of wildlife, which was great!
