Rental was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located. It was great size for family of 6 (ages 2 & 4) inc. grandparents. Being walking distance to the beach was priceless, as was spacious balcony w/ ocean views. There were plenty of pillows and towels, which we appreciated. And kitchen was well-stocked w/ dishes / bakeware.
That said, experience w/ Vacasa, the mngmt company, was not great. It’s clear they have no familiarity w/ property itself. Every time you call/email a different person responds, and they were not very responsive. It often took days or weeks to reply to messages, even after several attempts to reach out. After not hearing from them for a while, I finally called and asked whether they had pack n play, high chair, beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, sand toys, etc. They told me no to most. So, I rented all of these items. Come to find out, the condo had all but the pack n play and beach umbrella. Obviously the person I spoke with had never been in the condo, nor had talked to anyone who had ever been in the condo. In the end, I’m glad I rented because 3 of the 4 chairs were broken. A provided baby gate was also broken, and provided box fans were also broken. Again, clearly no one from the management company had ever actually been in the condo or assessed the supplies and their workability. Also, pro tip: disable the Nest auto-setting for the thermostat and watch out for the pigeons on balcony. They made a huge mess and woke us up at 6 am everyday.
