Was not able to comunnicate with property management. Had trouble locking the door, was given instruction to open a lockbox for keys, opened lockbox and there were no keys. Spent over 30 min trying to open the door. The pin that was originally provided stopped working and had to call and get 2 different pins to open it. But when we left a peace of clothing on the balcony they were quick to reach out and let us know it was against the rules.

Floors, counters, microwave where FILTHY. Roaches EVERYWHERE. No hot water for TWO full days. No water pressure when we finally did get hot water. Communication basically all through AI, so no resolution. Did not even want to move our things into the unit, it was so filthy and requested another unit, but after half my party had been on the road for 17 hours and trying to communicate with the ANYBODY for 3 hours to resolve the issues, really had no choice but to stay. No coffee filters. EXPOSED wires (especially dangerous with a 6-yo child. This unit was very disappointing. Still waiting on a human to explain why at least a partial refund is not due, as we were told the only reason for moving us would be flood, fire, or no water - and we did not have hot water, so pretty much the same as no water.

Get away
Place needs a update carpet, paint appliances decor lots of the decor are damaged. The kitchen sink leaks and the bathroom showers are broken and water don't come out strong. No access to washer and dryer in the unit for 10 day stay and 4 towels in 2 bathrooms is nOt enough. The mop and broom where disgusting and the lock didnot always work. The set up of the living room was odd the wifi was slow. Thats due to the router hidden on the floor with lots of cords. Some of the plugs didnot have covers on them or didnot work. The bedroom lamp kept blinking on and off. The office desk didn't have a office chair. The tvs are outdated and not big at all. The kitchen items are missing things or look cheap and the dishwasher was not working well. But the location is nice and by the pool and hot tube.

Home and listing need an update and overhaul!!!
The location of this condo was great. Everything about the property was 5 stars. That's where it ends. The condo itself I would not return to. Broken toilet upon check-in. Master bed sounds like the springs are going to launch you into space. Living room couch dirty and broken. No washer/dryer. No additional towels to accommodate the lack of a washer and dryer. I had to do laundry mid-week at the laundromat. Not what anyone wants to do on vacation. The kitchen had very few utensils and no potholders. The listing does not mention that the resort rents beach cabanas and chairs. The information would have been nice so you don't have to haul everything. A few little improvements would have made the unit an option for future rentals but the lack of consideration for your guest was definitely felt. I will look for a different unit in the same complex.

Not clean and there was a leak in the sink they knew about but left a bowl to catch the water
Stayed with my family and cousins family over the 4th of July weekend. Check in was great and we have stayed at other condos on that property. This one was not cleaned thoroughly and was not very well maintained. We arrived at about 6pm and found someone changing our ac filter as we walked in. Mind u check in is at 4pm. Sheets had hair from previous guests and the entire place was very dusty. There was not enough towels or trash bags for that matter. We stayed there from Thursday to Tuesday. We also noticed that when we washed the dishes water was spilling into a bowl that they left since it did have a leak under the sink. Getting ahold of someone was almost impossible with the numbers vacasa provided. Till this day no one has contacted me from the number that was provided. We had to call the front office to see what they could do about the leak. I wish there was a place for photos so I can upload them as well

Great Location - Decent Property
Location was great! This building itself wasn't directly on the beach, but not a very long walk (property is huge). The pool and BBQ pit area is right outside this building too, so a great location. 3 stories with no elevator wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (stairs weren't steep). The property itself was nice! All 3 bedrooms were great sizes (enough room for our group of 10 with ample room for 2 airbeds - 1 to replace the fold out couch which wasn't very comfortable, and one fit with room to spare in the larger bedroom. The only reason I say "nice" and it's not at 5 stars is because it is a bit outdated with lots of little cosmetic damages (that we took pictures of and sent as we didn't want to get blamed for damages already there). There was also a couple of small plumbing issues that didn't become an issue until our last night there and the dishwasher didn't work. For as much as they charge, I believe the property should be in better condition. Our property manager was amazing though, they responded quickly, and were very helpful. Overall a great vacation, but I would recommend putting some work into the property.

Nice property. Bit run down. Nickle and dimeyey
Bit hard to find due to small signage. Checkin pretty simple. Room was clean but broken shower and sink clogged. Rooms are well laid out and spacious. Property is well cared for in the common areas. Beautiful pool. Beautiful grounds. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach. Grills were available by the pool, so we bought food. Then the next day they were gone. They wanted $50 to rent a grill! Whatever!

Management SUCKED
Security Supervisor was very rude and unprofessional the whole weekend. Called the cops on me and my company to get us evicted and the cop acknowledged the fact that was the supervisor did was wrong. Too many rules and procedures for a place that was overall not very nice. Pictures online showed the condos and we got a crappy building on the outside that was very dirty on the outside. Will never stay here again and will never recommend to anyone.

Condo complex great!
First, the complex is beautiful. If you are looking for a nice resort type condo, this is it! The condo however needs updating, especially the upstairs. Handles came off 1st b/r whike trying to turn on hot water. Upstairs closet didnt have a bar in the closet, so there wasnt a place to hang clothes. All handles to the balconies were rusted. Couch needs to be replaced. No plugs for bathtubs. No washing machine or dryer in unit. We had 3 couples in the unit, only given one set of keys. No broom to sweep floor if needed. Needs frying pans and utensils updated. VACASA was extremely wonderful! They responded to my requests within 30 minutes. Their support and the beautiful complex made our stay wonderful. I would definitely use VACASA again, but get a more updated unit.

Great place to stay.
This gated condo community was excellent. We will be looking forward to staying here again in the future. Great location to the beach which is what we were looking for. A little farther from the main part of town but we actually enjoyed not being right in the middle of everything. Took just a few minutes to catch an uber or taxi, rent a golf cart, or just walk. We were able to check in early which was very helpful as we got in first thing in the morning. Would highly recommend.
