Great place with great location

My husband graduated from Columbia Southern University so we came for his graduation. We had several of our kids and 2 grandkids with us and everyone loved it. We enjoyed the pool and the beach as well as conveniently located restaurants. Very clean and comfortable place to stay!

2nd visit, still love it!

Always an amazing stay! Utilized more of the space this trip, including using the kitchen to prepare a few different meals. They have everything you could need; extra blankets in all the rooms, comfortable beds (a BIG necessity for us), beautiful scenery and decor, and proximity to a beautiful and not over crowded beach. Will definitely stay again and again, thanks!

Great location for a boater. Close to Cotton Bayou boat launch and if your boat fits, there is one on-site.

Great Beach Getaway

Condo was clean and well stocked overall. Very quiet location with super easy beach access. Docks were great to fish off of if thats your thing as well. Pool is super clean and well kept. Would stay here again anytime and Vacasa was super helpful with any questions we had before and during our trip and fast to reply with answers to them as well.

Thoughts

Not a bad little complex. This unit could use some updating. The stairs in the unit are especially dangerous and hard to use. Worked out just fine for our group.

Great little get away for the family

The place was a great fit for our family. With seven adults and two children it had room for one more. Needs minor repairs in the bathroom and the stove top light was out. Had plenty of dishes but needs a large skillet and toaster.

Beautiful home

The condo wasn’t clean yo my liking. I contacted the owner and someone from the cleaning team contacted me the same day to see if we could get it resolved. I declined because we ended up cleaning it ourselves. Other than that beautiful neighborhood and short walk to the beach.

My stay

It was incredibly hard to get in touch with Vacasa through the whole trip. We were told 3 parking spots as it’s listed for there to only be 2 and then the representative saying “there is three, but oh wait it’s only 2.” We had to wait after driving all day due to the house/condo to not be fully prepared with people cleaning. Taking almost and hour and a half. The dryer was broken and they said they’d have it fixed but wasn’t fixed until almost the end of the trip. And to add the cherry on top the reps basically said “sorry good luck” when told all these things. Overall it’s not a bad property, however the management is absolutely horrendous and I would not ever recomend Vacasa ever again.

Awful!!!

We had so many issues! Where to begin! I reached out almost immediately to VACASA which is who the home is through. They did nothing. And I still have yet to hear back! We came in and noticed immediately MOLD in the vents and on the outside of. The stairs to the loft had a broken handrail which made us unsafe for my children! The house was dirty every where! My 4 year old found a container of ZYN. The fridge was nasty, cabinets falling apart, dishes nasty, table dirty, floor dirty, shower had pubes in it! We also found mold in the bathroom, the visitor pass was nowhere to be found and when I reached out still never heard anything! We also found glass on the floor that my 8 year old stepped on and bled everywhere. The balcony posts had Walmart bags strung around the wood because it was broken and that’s how it was marked! I have a special needs child with numerous health issues, developmental issues, and much more , and these all made me so uneasy staying here. We ended up leaving a day early because I wasn’t comfortable there anymore for him. I also have a son with asthma and the MOLD was never made a priority!!! I sure hope to get a partial, if not full refund.

Cute and almost done with renovation

We stayed here over Spring Break and had a good time. Vacasa was wonderful in helping with some minor issues experienced. WiFi was very weak and the barbecue area was under renovation as well as most of the homes with siding etc. Woukd stay again. Well priced for the area.

Great Time

We enjoyed our stay. For the most part it was clean (some crumbs in the frig, dead frog in the master, and empty oyster shell with hot sauce on the balcony). There was some construction noise, but that is no reflection of our retreat. Overall we loved it and would easily do it again.
