Great view
We loved the view. Plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable, but could use black out curtains. The lent holder in the dryer needs to get fix. We will definitely rent again.

Nice, needs more responsive management
This was a nice place to stay, adequate for our needs. Nice view of the beach, quiet at night, pools were nice. Well-lit parking lot. Seemed fairly clean on arrival, but the floors did not appear to have been mopped, and there was no mop in the unit to use. Floors made our socks brown. I messaged two different phone numbers to try and get a mop, and received messages back, but never received a mop or follow-up to address the issue. There also was no remote to use the Blu Ray player, and no ability to login to Netflix or other streaming service, so there was no way to watch any movies at all, just cable tv. TONS of DVDs were there in the unit, with no way to watch them. I also messaged the management about this and received no answer. We also got locked out once because the code was changed mid-stay, but management did quickly give us a new code.

Away
The condo was in a great location for where we needed to be and the pricing was good. Did not feel the condo was the cleanest and the furnishings were a bit worn. Great view. Several of the swimming pools were close so that put all the occupants in one pool - a little crowded and babies in the pool as the kids pool was closed

Perfect space - could use some more amenities
Spacious enough for a family of four plus two grandparents. The plantations is a wonderful place with a lot to do and close to the beach. Only thing I would’ve like is more kitchen items. For instance we only had metal utensils to use on already scratched up coated pans. Scissors very dull. Not enough silverware. Otherwise was great. Would stay again.

Beautiful condo but I gave it a 4 because it needs furniture update. We were a family of 8 which is the max capacity. There was a sofa and chair. Plenty of table/ bar seating. Balcony was ocean view

Good Beach Condo
Rental process was easy and we found the property to be as advertised. It is a standard condo experience, so several loud neighbors who paid no attention to quiet hours. Ownership was in good contact before and after our rental time. I would recommend using this company, Vacasa.

Family friendly atmosphere
The view is awesome, loved the family friendly atmosphere and open grassy areas for kids to play and mingle with other kids. The sassy bass bar/restaurant on site was really nice to go grab a drink on the way to the beach. Loved that there was chair rentals and Jetski/banana boat rentals right out front too. The resort itself is nice and I would stay there again. This particular unit was dirty upon arrival. There was ketchup on the kitchen floor and patio floor, vent covered in dust, milk left in fridge, coffee pot not cleaned out. I contacted Vacasa and never got a resolution or a response from the “local team”. This is beyond frustrating considering we arrived in town hours early and were told unit was not available until 4pm due to “cleaning”. Other than the dirtiness, the unit is very nice and roomy. There are 2 private balconies outside of the rooms with the bigger beds and that was a nice additon. The unit had quite a bit of cooking utensils available for use so we were able to grill out by the pool and make sides in the room. The room also had a really nice collection of beach toys/floats for use that the kids loved to play with.

No Washer/Dryer
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a family of 7 and when we vacation having access to laundry is key. We were notified the day prior to travelling that the units washer and dryer were not working. New units were to be delivered and installed during the middle of our stay. Unfortunately that never occurred. The building next to ours had pay laundry which was just serviceable. It took 2 cycles to dry and you had to wait to grab a washer/dryer. Unfortunately for us, we spent 8 hours of our vacation doing laundry there that otherwise would have been seamless in the condo. Management was not responsive to requests for reimbursement for the costs spent doing laundry. We did enjoy our stay on the beach and the region. Certainly for us, the disruption caused by waiting for new machines that never came was a headache.

Wouldn’t stay here again.
Couldn’t check in on time because cleaning staff “forgot” to clean it. Management did buy us dinner, that was nice. Got a call from management..:not about checking in BUT, the washer and dryer are NOT WORKING. Gave us compensation, fine. Checked in three hours later, went to pull out the sofa sleeper for the kiddos…steel frame is broken. Mattress goes to the ground in one corner. Ugh. When does it end? Called the next day; they “put in a work ticket” but never came to fix it. Slept 4 to a bed with me going to the couch every night. (Came home with back ache). Pillows are super cheap and flat, linens are cheap, only 3 forks in the silverware tray (seriously for 8 people?). Minimal cookware, GET CONE FILTERS FOR COFFEE MAKER NOT BASKET FILTERS), closest grocery store to carry those is Walmart 30 minutes away, just FYI! Basketball court is off limits because of construction. Really, not a Karen here but for that much money…coulda been better!!! We left early because of the tropical storm that came in. It was clean and convenient. There were plenty of towels to shower with. Facilities clean, pools were nice.

Wonderful Property
This is a great condo that is beautiful and well maintained. The pool and tub were nice as well and the beach access was maybe a 3 minute walk away. Prior to finding this property, we had a very bad experience with Turnkey misrepresenting another property and then not allowing us to cancel our reservation. Our only option was to find another TurnKey property or forfeit the money we had already spent.
