Disliked: Cleanliness
We loved the location, short walk to the beach and pools. The unit its self needs a deep clean and updating. Size was good for 2 adults and 1 child. The bed was comfortable and clean but creaky. The pull out served its purpose for a small child however I don’t think an adult would get any sleep on it. The water pressure in the shower was great and the kitchen had everything we needed to make “at home” meals. Cons: when we arrived the unit had a strong smell of mold, it was “reported” but never heard anything more from Vacasa. We could also hear all the outside noise coming from the unit above.

Simple but Nice

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. It is small but comfortable. It has everything we needed for a weekend stay. Definitely not feasible for more than two people, in my opinion. Its close to everything and perfect for a single person or couple who need a quiet getaway.

False Listing

This is the absolute worst condo I’ve ever stayed in. This listing says it’s recently renovated. Nothing in the place is renovated. All of the furniture is from the 90’s, which would be fine if it was in good shape. Kitchen cabinet door almost fell off the wall when opened, towel rack fell off the wall when a towel was pulled off of it. Trash on the floor, stained pillowcase, both of our windows were opened when we checked in…weird. Paint cans in the closet where you keep clothes, paint peeling off of the kitchen mirror. First condo I’ve ever stayed in that didn’t provide coffee. Pictures barely hanging on the wall. Chipped paint on all of the walls. Just ridiculous!

March 2021 Beach Trip

The unit is older including the furniture, the bed was super creaky and made noise with every slightest movement, and you have to climb in the end as it it surrounded by wall space. There’s a hole in bathroom door. We had small ants on kitchen counters when we arrived and sand was on the floors. Woke up one night to a small lizard on the dresser by the bed. Cable tv never worked we tried calling several times and sent email but never got through or heard back from anyone. There’s lots of construction and areas are blocked including lots of parking around the complex. The pool area was nice and clean as well as the beach. Overall we still enjoyed ourselves and tried to make the best of our trip. Just tried to not spend much time in room. Would of liked better communication when we tried to reach out before and even during our trip.

Not Good

First thing you notice is the strong possibility of black mold covering and next to most of the A/C vents, toilet seal repaired with caulking, bathroom outlet with side cut off to fit next to the backsplash possibly allowing water intrusion into the junction box, water spraying in the air from the kitchen faucet, small bugs on the kitchen counter. There was nothing the repairman could do but give a report of these issues to his boss. He said they would have to replace the entire ceiling to get rid of the mold.

Perfect for a Girls’ trip

This was a small condo perfect for a weekend away for the moms. The space provided a full kitchen appropriately sleeping for 3 adults. The Plantation is a wonderful property that offers pool and restroom access and is right on the Gulf. The beaches were beautiful! Can’t wait to return.

Only one bad apple

Condo was nice but the pictures were a little misleading as the unit is not on the beach. One of the cleaning ladies, Faye, was mean and threatening in front of my kids. The rest of the staff were warm and friendly including the manager, Robert, and the security guys st check in

No property manager on duty. Locked out of our condo.

Payed for a late checkout until 7pm and when we got back to the condo we were locked out. No one would help us including the number provided by Homeaway. Their response was “sorry, we tried to reach someone and couldn’t. We don’t know what the problem is” we’re screwed. Then they lied to us and said they called and they didn’t! So maddening I may never use Homeaway again.

Great Vacation

For anyone that would like to be on the beach and feel at peace this is the place to stay. My entourage and myself were probably staying in one of the furthest condos from the beach and we were able to be at the beach in 5 or less minutes. We did this while carrying our umbrellas, coolers, and beach bags. The condo had all the comforts of home. 5 Stars all the way.
