Serenity Now
The place was clean and we had a good time. Only problem was I had to kill a big spider in the primary bath and one of the lamps in the living room had a apider and a web.

It could have been better…
First a little context, we have been using VRBO extensively for about 20 years on a regular basis and have always been very satisfied with our rental stays. Once in a while something goes wrong, but it has never been to this level. This rental was disappointing due to the numerous little things that were neglected and not maintained. First, let’s start off with the positives.Pro’s- [ ] Good location- [ ] Excellent restaurant right across the street- [ ] Access to the property was easy- [ ] Parking was great- [ ] Plenty of restaurants, food stores, gas stations and department stores within 15-20 minutes of the rental.- [ ] property was very quiet inside and out.Con’s- [ ] a big hole in the upstairs bedroom door- [ ] a broken glass globe on a kitchen light fixture- [ ] The HVAC for heating never worked well for the entire week. A temporary fix was made but it was a band-aide not a true repair.- [ ] clothes washer filled and started a cycle and then would not drain the load. - [ ] drying the wet clothes in the dryer, set off a beeping alarm- [ ] Property manager showed up unannounced to try front door keys. - [ ] The silverware basket in the dishwasher had holes in the bottom- [ ] The trash chute nearest to our unit would was not functioning Each of these are not a big deal, but for over a week, was too much. There was an overall lack of TLC to the property. Made the experience not worth the amount of rental we were charged

Beautiful spacious condo on the beach! The sunsets over the sound were amazing! Plenty to do here or just relax and do nothing! Would definitely stay there again!

Sandbridge Condo
Shall we start with the big stain in the middle of the master bedroom, or the lamps that were not even plugged in and when they were there were no light bulbs for them, or the light switches that didn't work. Or how about the shabby, dirty and dark condo complex as a whole. Or maybe be charged for resort fees when the pool was filthy and unopened for use. In all the place had the air of a cheap hotel and we were glad to leave a day early. It was a really bad experience because we have rented through VRBO on numerous occasions and have always loved them, gave them the highest ratings and recommended VRBO to all our family and friends. This time, however, this was the first with a Vacasa tag to go with it. I assure it it will be the first and last Vacasa stay we ever have.

I wouldn't stay again
It was not well cleaned. The communication was not as promised. The place is owned by a big property owner. My issues were treated as "trouble tickets". Broken chairs. Promised supplies not made available. I won't go back.

Beautiful quiet beach location
The condo location, size, & amenities were perfect. Condo needs a deep cleaning. Overall, it seemed cleaning staff made it look presentable. I re-cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen . Outer hallways need dusting had to knock down a couple of spider webs to get to the elevator. Again great location.

Cleaning problems
At check-in we were told the condo was not ready. 28 cleaners did not show and the apartment had not been cleaned. Thus, we were told, find a hotel. Can you help us? Answer: No. We stayed at the VACASA office for a while to figure out what to do. Then we were told we could in fact get into the condo that evening but we would need to do the cleaning and make the beds, etc. We did this. The rest of the stay was fine and we were told we would get some kind of discount.

Lovely Stay
The Sanctuary was perfect for the 3 of us. We had a great view of the bay and then only steps to ocean. 418A was perfect. As described!
Baja bar & restaurant across the road.
Beds were comfortable and we had all the amenities. We ate fresh seafood every day.
Very quiet area. A short drive to amazing malls for shopping. We will return.
The condo is very clean and spacious for families or large groups. However, you’re stuck on your own with the check in process, especially if you arrive after hours. We found our keys in a packet left in a shopping center 20 minutes away from the condo and one of the keys didn’t work! It was difficult navigating our way as the instructions were poor, buildings and parking garages were not labeled and no one responded to calls, texts and emails at all. During our stay we had additional questions and concerns but again no response. So if you don’t mind figuring things out completely on your own you’ll be okay. Otherwise it’s not a bad location, beach is across the street. The community is questionable as our food was stolen twice so nothing can be left outside!
