Great Place to Stay!

The room is spacious, allowing two couples to have their own space with two very large long beds. Everything is clean and the two free beach chairs were a blessing. I would definitely book this property again.

Good place to stay

Good pace to stay. Short walk to the beach. Check in was easy. We had an issue with our number to get in and they were quick to answer and fix the problem. Could have been a bit cleaner but im a professional cleaner and picky. We had a great time!

Great girls trip

Good-Location was great. Place was clean and decorated very nice. Elevators were fast Quiet for sleeping Only down sides for us- beach service was not really helpful when they put you right on top of other people. We used it the first day and after being surrounded by smoking and rowdy kids decided to forgo the chairs and set up our own tent down the beach some. There is barely room to walk between umbrellas and when they are up. It’s also first come first serve so don’t think you will have a spot if you don’t get out there and reserve one. Also would be nice to have some beach things. Chairs, toys, towels. Just a recommendation from other condos we stayed at. Was a very nice plus to them. I guess we got spoiled.

I’ve always loved our trips to the beach unfortunately the stay at this unit was not the best. The refrigerator leaked water the whole stay. It seemed like possibly from the hookup at the back of it but we could not tell. We spent most our time washing towel to absorb all the water so we didn’t fall on the floor. The front door had issues staying latched so we had to use the laundry door as a wedge to keep it from opening by itself. The bathroom water faucet dropped water nonstop and lastly the beds were very uncomfortable!! All these things were reported to Vacasa and I never heard anything back from the staff. The best things about the unit was the view (why I gave 2 stars). Normally we are all sad to leave Florida but after our stay here we couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Right on the beach, roomy.

This was a great location. Perfect view of the beach/ocean, nicer, comfortable furniture on the balcony. It was very spacious with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was a nice sized dining area and separate kitchen. Bath towels, couple of chairs, beach canopy in the unit which was nice. Pretty well stocked, but bring a cookie sheet and coffee filters if you need them. Everything else including small sizes of soap, dish soap and dishwasher pods were there for you. This unit was right above the pool which could be a positive or a negative, depending on your tastes. Also very clean! I would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Great view, beautiful. Very accommodating!

This place was amazing! Our stay was very good and we apprecIated how much this place felt like home. Upon calling the Vacasa team they called daily to check on our stay which felt good. The fridge and dish washer were leaking on and off. Like others have commented, The mattress on the bed in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. At the very least get a mattress topper, there is a noticeable dip in the center of the bed. We ended up sleeping on the sofas the last night of our stay to preserve our backs. The sofas are very comfortable.

Good setup, kinda loud above pool

Good location and beach. Unit is 4 floors directly above the pool, so it’s a bit loud on the patio during the day w screaming kids below. Also, no beach towels which was a bit surprising and inconvenient. Umbrella service was great and handy.

Needs new beds and tv

Good location. Elevator was never crowded. Room was clean. However the beds need replacing pretty bad, Unless you like spring loaded mattresses. The tv/remote situation needs fixed as the remote doesn’t always register with the tv and Netflix constantly crashes. The balcony was missing a table and then on the afternoon of day 2, the table magically appeared which I found strange as it’s not a hotel and I’ve never had management or maintenance come into my condo unannounced. They apologized and stated maintenance got their days mixed up. Overall it was okay. I would have preferred a good nights sleep instead of waking up constantly Bc of the hardness of the bed.

Great Location!

Nice condo on a beautiful beach. The included chair service was a huge blessing. This is the first beach condo I have ever stayed in that has zero beach supplies. There are no beach towels, no toys or boogie boards, no extra umbrellas, chairs or cooler. Every other beach condo I have ever stayed in has had at least some of these items. There were also several broken items in the condo, such as a table with a broken leg and a missing towel bar in the bathroom. The air conditioner worked well and the beds were moderately comfortable. It was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit, even if it is very small..holds about three towels in the washer. My family would have loved to play tennis or shuffle board in the evenings, but the office would only loan out the equipment until 5pm, kind of a bummer. I would stay her again, but would bring more supplies with me.
