Never Stay there again
Was constantly texting because there were so many issues from the room smelling so bad; fighting for a dehumidifier. The batteries in the tv remote were dead had to waiting until the next day before they were replaced.TV in any room did not work until the last night after constant texting asking to fix the problem.

Great Views, Excellent Location, WIFI & TV's
Condo was just as pictured with a few minor furniture adjustments. WIFI was excellent and this is a big deal to us. TV's in all rooms, and very good pictures. Great open concept and large bedrooms. The porch is beautiful. I recommended a few minor housekeeping details. These are items they would not know unless someone pointed it out. I would rebook this unit. It was very quiet. We typically avoid Vacasa managed properties but had a good experience.
