Beautiful and spacious condo

The condo was beautiful, spacious, and very clean! It was right across from the beach. The pool was nice and not overcrowded! There was plenty of items in kitchen to cook meals if you wanted to. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!

Great Stay!

This was our second time staying at the Dawn Condominiums, a different unit though. Location is great! It's right across the seawall, a short walk to the beach.. the 2 pools are great and pretty much always maintained. The condo was very clean, but did notice the a/c vents need to be cleaned, as well as a stand alone fan in the master closet. Everything was provided, but depending on the length of your .stay, you will need to buy additional paper towels, toilet paper, etc... My family of 4 was very happy with our trip .We would love to stay Anson!againarmed getaway. c........vent

Dream get away

This had everything my family needed for a great beach vacation! Check in and out was easy. Close to the beach and the complex has two pools that are great for families. Have stayed before and will definitely try to stay again.

Will continue to stay here

So this is our second time staying in this exact condo and our fourth time staying at the dawn! So needless to say we love it! This specific condo is always very clean and was already very cool when we arrived. The beds are all comfortable, they provide so many amenities, And it feels very homey! The only two issues we had was the washing machine was unbalanced so it was difficult to wash a load of clothes. There was also a slight issue with the icemaker in the refrigerator, as it was very slow, and the water came out very slow. But those are two pretty small issues and overall we love this condo and love the dawn! The grounds on the dawn are always immaculate, and the pools are wonderful! We had an amazing time and I would advise anyone to stay here!

Great time

Cannot say enough about how wonderful this condo was!! It was so clean when we arrived and they provided so many basic items to use! We were able to set the temperature to what we wanted which was great! Many condos lock it to a set temperature. Both showers were wonderful and huge!! The condo had a great view of the pool and the ocean! It is on the second floor, the description was confusing on this. We will always stay at The Dawn. The grounds are so well kept and the pools are awesome. The parking for this condo was easy as well!! No complaints at all!!

Nice condo but has some opportunities

When we stayed, the property manager was extremely unresponsive. We tried to submit requests for a couple of work orders, including the master bathroom toilet not working and the back door not locking. It took over 12 hours for a generic response to come back and that was only after I followed up. Disappointed in Vacasa. additionally there were some cleanliness opportunities. The kitchen was extremely disorganized and cabinets were dirty. The home was decorated nicely and definitely has potential but seems like it isn’t being cared for. Additionally, one of the pools was extremely cloudy and dirty and had algae growing on the side. The other pool seemed to be better kept.

Just about everything was perfect at this property. Easy to get in and out. Plenty of space and clean conditions. Only complaint is a number of entry way and living room overhead lights and some bedroom lamps didn’t work properly.

Nice place. Great location and pools. We did have to take care of a clog in the bathroom sink that the cleaning crew should have found but other than that it was great.

Great condo

The property was amazing and had great amenities that we really enjoyed. The condo was comfortable and had great space to fit 5 guests. We had a few issues with the checki-in. We arrived a little early and asked if we could just hang out by the pool until our room was ready. The woman at The desk said we could go ahead and go into our room if we were sent the code which we did have. We Carried all of our stuff from the car and went up to our room. When we unlocked the room it was clear that they had not cleaned our room. So We had to take all our luggage back down to the car. A few dishes were dirty in the cabinets and we only received 2 wash clothes and 4 towels for 5 people. The only other thing that was not positive was that prior to our trip I had contacted Vacasa asking about a hair dryer and some other things and I just got canned responses that were already on the website. I thoroughly read the site so I knew it didn’t say hair dryer so we packed one then they ended up having it. I also asked what kind of grill and they just restated the information. It would be helpful if customer reach out to receive more additional information.

Lovely home away from home

This was one of the most comfortable homes I’ve been in yet. They had almost everything we needed in the home. We were close to the beach and everything else we wanted to do. The swimming pools were amazing.
