Very comfortable condo with plenty of room for a family of four. Two teens so each had their own bedroom which is a plus on a longer vacation! The decor is cute and the beds are comfortable. The third bedroom downstairs (without the deck) got hot at night. The kitchen needs a new skillet. Otherwise great stay! The beach chairs and umbrella are an awesome touch.

I'm not sure exactly where to start. When we arrived everything seemed to be in order. However, as the week went on there were things that were affecting our stay. First, the A/C is a wall unit; it looks like it could be the original but we don't know. The outside was very dirty, which probably means that the cover has never been removed and inside cleaned of mold/mildew. The unit itself is on 2 floors (could be a problem for someone who struggles with stairs;) this bit of information was left off the description when we booked. There is no way it could cool down the space upstairs, let alone the lower level. We took the upper BR and one of the jalousie windows wouldn't even open. Another jalousie window in the main area was totally missing one of it's bottom glass louvers. The ceiling fan in the upper BR only operated on the lowest speed, which didn't give much air movement. It was hot and muggy with the temps and humidity. In the lower smaller BR there was a fan up in the corner by the ceiling. It made noise but didn't blow any air out. Our son and wife were in the BR and it had a musty odor. As far as the kitchen, the kitchen faucet moved in its location; it wasn't stationery as it should be. There was only one medium size frying pan. It had a teflon finish (not a healthy finish for cooking) that is started wearing off. It didn't sit flat on the cooktop, and the handle was loose. We did use it every day as we cooked our meals in the condo. In the bathroom downstairs there was a fan (washer/dryer was in this bathroom,) that was covered in dust/dirt that had accumulated over time. While there was a broom for sweeping up, there was no dust pan; we used a thinner piece of cardboard to sweep dirt on. As we were getting into the week (we were there a total of 9 days,) we noticed we were getting low on toilet paper, paper towels and detergent. I texted Vacasa and they sent my request to the owner, Valerie. We texted back and forth, and she informed me they don't supply again and it was our responsibility to pay for any additional items we needed. As we continued texting she asked me to send pics of some of the items I was discussing as listed above. We said we would and took pics and videos and tried to send it over and it came back undeliverable. Unfortunately, it left us with a negative feeling about our stay there. If you don't mind the humidity then you won't mind staying in this unit, but if it bothers you as it did us then this won't be a good fit for your party. I don't want to end on a totally negative note. The unit itself was furnished nicely. We did appreciate that they had sand chairs available, as well as boogie boards to use at the beach. And, the pool was quite close and our grandchildren really enjoyed spending time there. Overall, we were disappointed with the above complaints we had, and especially the way Valerie handled communicating with us, and then blocked our text back to her.

Overall everything was great. It should be noted that the A/C is only a small unit in the living room upstairs and doesn’t extend to the two downstairs bedrooms. It only really gets into the upstairs bedroom if you leave the door open. There are some slots in the bedroom wall to try to let air through, but they don't help a ton. There are ceiling fans but they don't provide much relief either. There are 3 additional fans that were provided but one more would be appreciated. We gave up our fan in the upstairs bedroom to the downstairs. The kitchen is very functional which was great. There's a grocery store within walking distance which was also nice. The parking is an issue after 9/10 pm. The spots aren't assigned and the lot fills quickly at night. During the day it wasn't an issue. There is an overflow parking lot at the community center you can use that's a bit of a walk (10 minutesish) and you need a pass to park overnight. So be aware if you're coming in late you're going to have to park farther away. Since this is managed by vacasa we couldn't directly communicate with the owners which wasn't ideal since vacasa didn't seem to have any information other then the bare minimum which wasn't very helpful. Overall we would stay here again though.
