Honest and Transparent Review Dolphin 26
Upon arrival, our code did not work. Thankfully, 45 minutes later in the Texas Sun and Heat, someone was able to come and assist us into our room. She left, but within five minutes, we knew we needed to call back, as one of the bedrooms was locked upstairs . So, we waited about another 45 minutes for a maintenance person to arrive. Problem solved. The air conditioning did not work the first night and the house made everybody pretty sweaty at 81°. Thankfully, the maintenance guy came and replaced the capacitor the next morning. Both upstairs toilets need rubber valve replacements. You know, the flapper. Each one constantly leaks itself and has to refill continuously. Pretty annoying listening to it all night. Problem remains, so get that one fixed. On our last night, the upstairs air-conditioning leaks from the ceiling onto the mattress, taking out one of the sleeping arrangements. Really not much you can do when it happens overnight. But we did lose that bed. It’s pretty wet and now there’s a big water stain. A/C drips into shower stall constantly. Hard to sleep hearing that and the leaky toilet. Hot Tub was same temp as pool. If you’re into Vintage and the “Worn Look”, then you’ll feel at home. No renovation in last 25+ years is my guess. Not a negative review here at all. I can make the best out of almost anything. Think of it as a “To Do” list

Beach time
The property is nice, well kept. Pool a bit too narrow and small but nice. Bummer cant bbq with charcoal. Condo 26 needs some changes. Too crowded with not needed furniture and lamps, knick knacks etc. toilets flush weak and sliding doors need upkeep. dont lock and are rusty.

Felt like we were staying on the set of Sanford and Son. Junk everywhere and not a piece of furniture that hadn’t outlived it’s usefulness. Not a comfortable place to sit or to sleep.

50/50
Pros:I loved that there was a beach access right across the street. Comfy beds. Cons: Too much decor and clutter. Couldn’t use the sofa bed due to the huge coffee table and nowhere to put it because there was so much furniture and also ANOTHER coffee table in the living room that just seemed to be there with no use at all. Can’t say I will stay here again due to the very strict rules such as no grilling and numerous reminders that you are being watched with cameras. It was fine with us since we didn’t need to grill anyway, but just not a comforting feeling.

Cluttered
Location is great, and the condo was clean; HOWEVER, it’s extremely cluttered with way too much furniture and decor. A lot of the drawers and cabinets were filled with EVEN MORE decor, which didn’t leave a lot of room for personal belongings. Enjoyment of our stay was diminished because the place never felt tidy and orderly, and although the condo should have plenty of space for 6, we felt cramped. Stayed and the unit next door last year, and that was much better because the owner has a normal amount of furniture and decor that’s modern and aesthetically pleasing.

Beautiful place to stay!
We loved everything about this stay! Would have given it a 5 star review but there was no water pressure in the showers upstairs. Showering was a challenge. Everything else was perfect!

Nice place!
This condo was clean, comfortable, close to the beach, and very reasonably priced. The only complaint is that the showers upstairs had no water pressure at all. It took forever to wash off and rince your hair. Other than that, it was fabulous!

Nice place, Needs TLC & better management
The place was as expected for what we paid for a last minute, middle of the week trip. Overall the place was fine. The guy that came by to fix a few things was Very nice and super friendly, especially since he had been extremely busy all day and had our stop added on at the end of the day, at 7:30pm! Pros: Close walk to the beach, grocery store and several other places. Nice enough for what we paid. Tips for this home, depending on how many are staying, would be, bring extra trash bags, your own water⁣e, (or be prepared to buy drinking water), extra plastic cups if you have kids that need them over glass, and extra blankets. My complaint is with Vacasa and their management company, or lack there of. Vacasa will be fine for you if you don’t like talking to an actual human being, if you don’t care whether or not they respond to your emails/texts and if you don’t need any help, or things fixed during your stay. This house needs lots of repairs. The upstairs sliding glass door lock is completely broken and several other locks were stuck and needing repair. Water pressure was very low and not sure if they cleaned the floor or not, our feet were still black after just an hour of arrival. I had to put in two calls before someone came to the house. They were supposed to come back, but they never did. Water pressure was very low and the water was either slightly filtered sea water, or had a bad sulfur taste/smell. Lots of lightbulbs out. Dishwasher door was broken. I left a list of things that need to be fixed, like batteries needed for several things, lots of broken items needing replacement and don’t touch any window treatments unless you want to be rehanging them.

Mostly ok
the lock box for the keys were messed up. Some sheets stained . Coffee maker doesn't work. Check in notes mentions not to lose a key or we will be liable to pay for replacement and only one key was in lock box. I found the other in a drawer in living room. Called several times and only got through the first day about the lock box. Other than that no answer at all. Decor really makes the entire place cluttered

Unable to Contact Vacasa
The property was fine. Great location, and for the price the unit was fine. The problem was Vacasa and their complete unresponsiveness prior to and during our stay. The experience has been poor reflection on VRBO, i have never had this issue using other services We reached out to Vacasa twice a week prior to our stay with basic questions about the unit and what we might need to bring. Both of our inquiries went unanwered. We tried calling the number that was listed and were met with a 2 hour wait time. When we arrived at the property, there was another number listed to call but when we tried that it was a disconnected number. We were only given one trash bag, one roll of toilet paper, and one roll of paper towels for a 7 night stay. First, that is being really stingy and not a good look. Our sink did not drain, the garbage disposal didn't seem to work, and the sink also leaked into the cabinet and onto the kitchen floor. These issues could have been minor had we been able to easily get ahold of the property manager but Vacasa was nowhere to be found. I just can't comprehend how the communication can be this bad, especially with a "professional" manager rather than an individual.
