Very good

Cute and spacious with comfortable beds, nicely decorated. Anything we wanted to do was three minutes away, so location was perfect. a very nice grocery store was just down the street, very convenient. Pool and hot tub were clean and well maintained.

The supermarket is very close… everything was nice
Overall the property was perfect. We had plenty of space for the whole family to be comfortable. Loved that there was 2 full showers. It was easy for to knockout showers after the beach. Everything was super close the beach access was right across the street and supermarket was down the road.

Great location
Loved the location for where we wanted to be, close to grocery store and restaurants that we were looking for.
The place is dated and could use some sprucing up update the furniture and beds and add a dresser to one of the upstairs bedrooms.
There were no serving bowls or storage containers, limited cooking pans.
I would consider staying again if there were some minor changes.
Both places on either side of us were updated and painted very nicely

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Clean and conveniently located
Clean, convenient location - close to beach, stores, restaurants, adequately furnished although livingroom furniture wasn't very comfortable. Kitchen had enough cookware/tableware, but the dishwasher didn't latch even while running, so you had to really push it shut or it leaked. Don't expect management/maintenance to show up for anything you call about. They will only come when you're desperately trying to enter the house with the ridiculous 10 digit code they give for entry. Despite the negatives, I'd still stay here again.

Good & bad
Location- Great! Pricing-Great! Layout-Great! Cleanliness was definitely non existent! Unit needs some tlc! Mattresses are terrible and in terrible condition! I had to clean and launder sheets before we could go to bed the 1st night! Sheets too small for master bed. Brokennbathroom door (wouldnt close) dishwasher leaked all over the floor. Trashed and used vapes left under the couch from previous guests.. i would love to say, id stay here again, but I wouldnt unless, i knew for sure, some things had chang3d and upgraded. Pool and hot tub- EXCELLENT!!!
You can’t beat being a few minutes from the beach! The unit even had a washer/dryer (not listed), which was a huge plus. However, the home is a bit worn—specifically the sofa cushions and older fixtures. We had issues with the kitchen outlets and a toilet valve, but Vacasa maintenance resolved everything on Dec 26th once the holiday passed. Great for beach lovers, but expect a "well-loved" property.
Stay was great. Condo was nice. Look forward to visiting again

Great location
We enjoyed our short stay, everything was so convenient for my family, a couple of things we encountered no hot water while showering and our designated parking spots were taken by a random people the two nights we stayed, other than that we had a wonderful time
Location and condo where great; really liked the complex and it was family friendly.
However, condo unit lacked basics to make a week stay for a family of five efficient. We had only five forks for the week. Half the drinking glasses provided were small baby food type jars. We had to buy additional toilet paper and dishwasher detergent, and there were no potholders/ oven mitts to use with the oven. In addition, there were no instructions on how to use the TV and the remote that was provided did not seem to operate the television.
10 digit access code on a poorly functioning entry keypad guaranties multiple tries and frustration just to get in the front door. A/C works upstairs, not so good downstairs; return register has never been cleaned and room registers are nasty. Sand in the uncomfortable “nasty” feeling and soft cushioned couch. Very few dishes and cups, tiny bathrooms with doors that hit toilets, crooked sinks, and no drain stoppers - so do not drop anything in the sink or goodbye. No soap, shampoo, etc. in the bathroom, but they brought it by after I called and despite this being noticed during the pre-check.

Well Cleaned. Some things need fixing.
Place was well cleaned when we arrived. Some things need to be updated or fixed.
On the surface it looked average, but considering all the repair and safety issues. I can’t rate higher than two and should rate it a one. When we arrived there were several light bulbs that were burned out, when you opened the dishwasher it tilted forward flopped onto the floor, the patio doors wouldn’t lock, the coffee pot was cracked and there was very little hot water. We notified our contact of these issues, the coffee pot was taken care of right away but it took seven days and several emails before the light bulbs, water heater and the dishwasher were dealt with and then only partially. The dishwasher needed to mounted to the cabinet which it was and the latch needed to be replaced. We left on the 31st and the dishwasher latch hasn’t been dealt with yet. We ended up wiping up the water on the floor every time we used it. We asked them to fix the latches on the patio doors. Their solution was a stick in the track to block opening the door. I had already done this. Doors still aren’t fixed and by the way I took my dowels with me. There is also no strike plate on the deadbolt for the front door and there is only about a quarter inch of worn and weathered wood holding it in place. There are also shorts in the wiring for the porch lights after the bulbs were replaced they would flicker on and off several times before they turned on. There is also an uncovered outlet in the second bedroom. There were other minor issues like the clip for the internet cable was broken. At the lightest bump you could lose internet, the stove light was burned out, we ended up washing all the dishes before we used them because they didn’t feel clean, the drain lines under the downstairs bathroom sink have a dirt build up and don’t appear to ever have been cleaned. After the poor response to our initial requests we just gave up on expecting them to repair the rest of the problems. We left at least four texts, nine reminders and two phone messages to our repair contact and never received a response on either. Not only was this property is a state of disrepair, their response to our requests was slow and in some cases completely ignored. If we could have afforded it we would have left and found other housing but unfortunately that wasn’t an option. I am quite disappointed that the vetting of these properties was not more through.

We enjoyed our time and loved how the home came with everything that you may bed. We will definetly come back again.
The grocery store was down the street, beach was 2 blocks away, condo was clean, but if there is a complaint, bring blankets, house was cold and there were no blankets. Also dryer did not want to turn on, had to play with it a bit and the dishwasher is not bolted into the cabinets, so it tends to fall over anytime you add a dish. Small issues, nothing to change our trip or a return visit. Thank you for the opportunity to stay.

Clean, close to the beach & had every thing we needed
My stay was great! We were really close to the pool and the hot tub. We were also walking distance to the beach! Parking is close and security is on site. I felt safe and comfortable the whole trip.
