Great Location

We’ve stayed at this property before and love it. This was our first time in this particular unit, which is managed by Vacasa and not some of other local management companies. The check in/out process is fully remote, you never see or speak to another person - just get a series of emails/texts with instructions. The unit was good, fantastic location steps from the beach. Beds are comfortable, no discernible noise from other units but we did hear noise from the street. The provided box fans were great for drowning out noise at night. Dishwasher does not work, as the soap compartment is fused shut. We were a party of five who preferred to eat in, so hand-washing dishes for six days was a little frustrating. There is a minimal supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, so be prepared to bring your own or make a run to the supermarket. We noticed ants in the kitchen on our first day but they disappeared after a few hours. Make sure you leave promptly by check out time, as the door codes are changed immediately at 10 am. Thankfully we were packed and loaded by then, else we might have been locked out. Despite some inconveniences, you can’t beat the location. Overall our stay was good.

Our stay was too short!

Arrived on Monday, left on Sunday and wished we had more time. With beautiful ocean views and being steps away from the beach the location was perfect. While the finishing is may not be the most updated, the unit was clean and that's the most important thing to us. It was also well equipped. The only negative was a DVD player that was not working. We had a rainy day near the end of our stay and so we wanted to watch a couple movies. Never the less we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Gorgeous views

Unit is directly located across the beach and the views are spectacular. Unit is well maintained overall, seemed a little old but you get what you pay for. Host response was very quick when we let them know parking tags were missing. Only thing we didn’t like is that the lights don’t come on in any of the bedrooms. Other than that no complaints and would definitely pick it next time we visit.

Awesome Location

This condo is right on the beach so it makes trips there fast and easy. We did have a problem with the AC not cooling when we got there. It didn’t get fixed until the next day. That was the only issue we had. The condo was nice and clean. The balcony door in the main bedroom does not lock so they have a stick to use to keep it from opening. I think that should be a priority to get fixed. There is also only 3 lamps in main room to use for light and the one on the dresser wasn’t plugged in and a hassle to try to reach. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus. We would most likely stay again.
