Great view but needs updating.

I loved the view and the layout of the condo. It has potential, but money needs to be put into the building and the condo. No laundry on site or in the condo. The walls need fixing in bathroom and living room from leaks. I was surprised vacasa was not helpful. They said too bad so sad. I would like management to contact me

Very disappointed

We got to the property on Friday only to find out that our washer and dryer were out of order. We did contact the property managers and were told that they would not be able to fix them, but they did give us a partial refund. But since we had no way to dry our clothes and towels, we put them on the balcony to dry; and we received a violation notice on the door stating that we could not hang anything on the railings. Then when we tried to run the dishwasher, it also broke, so we had to wash all of the dishes by hand. There was no overhang on our balcony, so when it rained we were not able to go out onto the balcony. There is also no direct access to the beach other than the public access and one bridge on the opposite side of the building we were staying on.

Great beach access, older condo

Our goal was to stay on a less crowded beach with oceanfront view and this unit provided that. Including chair/umbrella was a bonus. We were surprised to learn when we arrived that the washer/dryer unit was out of order and it took a couple of days to get an update on whether it would be repaired--we had to keep asking. The best solution the agent could provide was the location of a laundromat. We spent a lot of vacation time washing clothes in the sink. Clearly the until was broken before we arrived and if we had been notified could have packed accordingly. I never got the impression that the management company had much interest in helping solve this problem and I hope future guests will be alerted to problems they might find on arrival.

Needs work. But in a great location

The pictures do not give an accurate description of this rental. The couch was filthy and the pullout bed was broke beyond repair. We had to put a sheet over the couch just to sit on it. They ended up bringing us a rollaway bed but it was dirty also. There is water damage in the dining area above the window. And several spots in the ceiling that have been patched. The master bedroom is nice. The building is older. And the elevator is very slow. The best thing about this rental is the location. The beach is not very busy where this building sits.

Perfect location but repairs lacking

This would be a 5 star rating if repairs were made to the unit and it was just freshened up. Ceiling repair needed, curtain repair needed and master bedroom wall repair needed. Appears trying to get by on the cheap. If this was done I would rent again as it is located in a part if beach that is not busy and you walk right on out easily. Not the place to stay for a pool but we spent all day at the beach and don't need one. Also, no ice maker or ice trays in fridge so had to go buy ice and kitchen is lacking in everyday items or they have disappeared. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. Again, with repairs of a few hundred dollars I would have rated 5 stars.

Lovely Condo Right On The Beach

I loved that it was a small building & not a huge complex. No long walk to the beach or parking. It was a quiet neighborhood. The condo was clean & nicely decorated. The included beach set-up was a bonus. No need to lug down your own chairs & umbrellas.

Pros and cons - May 2021

Loved: being right on the beach, check in and out process, 2 chairs and umbrella on the beach included. Recommendation: repairs- front of stove broken, toilet running constantly (we finally fixed it by shortening the chain), lots of water damage on ceiling in dining area, beds were worn, as was the couch and we did see one large cockroach looking bug in the kitchen. (We’ve been vacationing on the coast for 11 years and have not experienced this before) kitchen lacked some basic items like bbq tools- no blankets on the beds, only sheets. Pool is on the back of complex by the parking lot and offers no umbrellas- however water was warm and clean. Condo has potential as it is roomy but def has been neglected compared to others places we have stayed in the area at that price point.

Mixed Feelings

The furniture in the interior of the unit was nice and comfortable and decorated well EXCEPT the bed in the master bedroom, which had a headboard just leaning against a wall. It wasn't connected to anything at all and was very noisy when turning over. The stove is an antique, and the refrigerator had no ice maker. Bathrooms were so small that my husband had to hang his bath towel in the spare bathroom because there wasn't room for both bath towels and a hand towel. Balcony was very disappointing! It's a nice, large balcony, but they only have 2 cheap, plastic chairs out there. Looking at all the other balconies in the complex, they had tables on the balconies and nice patio furniture. There is no roof, so we couldn't enjoy it when it rained. Also, there is no privacy. There is a large window from the unit above looking directly down on the balcony, and the above unit's balcony is also looking down on the balcony. Fortunately, no one was up there. The views from the unit can't be beat! It was gorgeous. It was also quiet in the complex. The property management company needs some improvement. I'm not sure how you can list on VRBO when you enlist a property management company to rent your unit...? Anyway, it's late October and the complex was only 50% full. I asked if we could check in earlier than 4pm and was told no because they had to do a thorough cleaning of the unit. When we checked in, the toilet in the master bath had not been cleaned. It was dirty. I had to buy cleaning supplies and clean the toilet myself, which is NOT what I want to do on my vacation. I was told I couldn't check in because they had to clean and yet I had to clean the bathroom! Then, the day we were to check out, the cleaning person banged on our door early wanting to know when she could clean the unit! Check out isn't until 10am! I was so mad! The pool is super small and is located on the street side - not the beach. The shrubs where you enter the gate to the pool were overgrown. The door to the ladies pool bathroom was swelled or something and wouldn't open and close well. Your only view from the pool was the parking lot and building. Because of the balcony furniture, pool situation, and really the issue with the property management company, I would not stay here again.

Great location with some issues

We loved the location. The place was very clean when we arrived. The condo is showing some age especially in the bathrooms. Also, the bed in the one room was not comfortable. The appliances are dated but when we were leaving they were changing the refrigerator. Considering Hurricane Sally arrived while we were there and lost power for awhile, we enjoyed are stay.

Pros and cons

Pros: beach not crowded, nice furnishings, low key unit, great view, perfect location, lay out was nice having seperation between living and bedrooms, checkout very easy. Cons: no balcony roof!, slow elevator, commodes needed fixed everytime flushed, minimal utensils and oven ware, sofa couch mattress is worn out. One note worth mentioning, living area was hot in afternoon if you dont keep curtains closed but the sunset was worth it!
