Great view of the ocean!

The view was spectacular but plan on bringing cleaning supplies. The couch is filthy, the rug is stained and didnt smell to good and the kitchen was dirty as well. No outlets that were easy to get to in the bedroom. Overall i would not stay there again!

Nice Place with Fast Responses with Management

Me and my girlfriend stayed here from June 5th to June 12th. When we first arrived, there was sand on the couch, black mold in the vents, a strand of hair on top of the TV set, and the handle to the refrigerator was broken. A day after I notified management about this, they sent people early the next day and cleaned the condo again. I was still a little concerned about the black mold in the vents because they weren’t able to clean out all of the mold out of the vents, but they cleaned most of it. They need to put in new vent covers if they haven’t already done so. Despite all of this, we were very pleased with the fast response of this situation. Another downfall of this condo is the Wi-Fi. The only Wi-Fi you can get in the condo is the guest Wi-Fi, which doesn’t work. The owner needs to invest in putting Wi-Fi in the condo. The condo could use some updates. But if you only care about having the amazing beachfront view to wake up to every morning, they you’re good. The game room on the top floor needs improvement. The games were outdated and there were no cue sticks for the pool tables. To summarize our stay, I would rate this condo 3.5 out of 5 stars. This condo just needs more attention with cleaning and private Wi-Fi. Other that, we enjoyed our stay at Golden Sands.

As Described

The property was as described, great location, really enjoyed it! Property management was very communicative and helpful. Place was lovely and lots to do. Only feedback is that the bedroom carpet and perhaps the couch could be replaced.

A Great Stay by the Ocean

The unit was very clean. The ocean view was great! The check in and check out process was super-easy. Loved that the beds were already made for us and that there were many towels for us to use.

Disappointed

The room was in need of a major overhaul - it was probably very nice 40 years ago, but not in 2022. Lighting fixtures did not work; we had to work lights thru pull chains on the fans rather than thru wall switches. The internet connections were abysmal - I spent much more time trying to get on the internet than I spent actually on it and never spent more than 15 minutes on it without losing the connection, even tho I used the private connection. Unfortunately the Vacasa manager was not able to anything to correct the situation. Additionally, there were no USB ports in the room. Not happy with the accommodations and I won’t be staying at the Golden Sands or booking thru Vacasa again. I’m not sure how I started out at Vrbo and wound up with Vacasa, but I will make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Nice unit

The unit looked exactly as it appeared online. We liked the ocean view. There was candle wax on the dresser/ floor and 2 of the lights were not working. Once reported to the property manager, they sent someone to fix the lights.

Preseason Getaway

The condo has a fabulous view of ocean. Easy to find. Parking was easy in off season, seems like it would crowded and a pain if you had two cars. Location is close to shopping and some fun restaurants. It was super quiet and not very busy which was really nice. Need to get a Keurig for guests instead of coffee pot as Keurig pods are easier to pack. We found a few lovely coffee spots! Vascasa keeps you updated and are on site to help you find the lock box for key packet. If they weren't there we would of had more trouble. Will return, thank you for a much needed sister getaway!
