Cristin K.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I would sincerely not recommend this unit. My family and I have never once complained about a rental. This was appalling. The upstairs A/C was broken and never repaired. We learned it had been broken for at least three weeks. The Vacasa contact said they knew about two days prior to our arrival. They did offer to move us, but it was not comparable (bed rooms, location). It was a full day of battling about the A/C, and we asked for a reduced rate. They offered to return our Vacasa fees but the owner still wanted full rent. Eventually they gave us half-off, but it was a fight. We just cannot let this slide and have another family's vacation upended. This is what is in need of repair. 1) A/C2) The sliding porch doors will barely open. 3) underneath the sink is rotting.4) there are roaches in the beds. 5) the porches are rotting, as well as the spindles. 6) the kitchen is poorly stocked.7) the refrigerator needs to be replaced. It's leaking. The cleaning services were also poor. There were wet, dirty dishes in the cabinet when we arrived. The floor needs to be cleaned. Our feet were immediately black on the bottom walking around. Barrier Dunes is an awesome spot. Please rent another unit. Upon reading further into the reviews, this unit/owner has been terrible for years. I am stunned Vacasa/Vrbo continues to rent this property.

No Wi-Fi for 2 days. Was told I had to make the contact to fix issue.Tiles cracked throughout unit kitchen area.Area under kitchen sink was terrible.Master bedroom balcony spindles were loose. Advised Vacasa rep that this is a safety issue.Used soap dispenser in master bath.Electric grill on main deck would not work.Wasn’t pleased with the unit. I’ll never stay in this unit again and would advise others not to rent it until concerns are addressed.

The stay was awesome! I’m not sure if I missed it on the listing but we assumed the property would have beach towels. I would add that there’s no beach towels available. Also when we left it seemed like the maids were waiting for us to leave. We left at like 9:15 and there were sitting outside on the curb waiting for us to leave. It just seemed like we were rushed. All in all it was a great trip and we’ll definitely be back!

Needs major updates

The location was perfect however it was not a very clean or updated unit. Appliances were old and rusty, the fridge DID NOT cool. I lost 300 worth of groceries. Lighting was not good at all. Overall it was very disappointing and expensive for what it was. I would not recommend this unit until major updates on furniture and appliances are made.

Short Stay

It was for a wedding party. The refrigerator did not work and my diabetic medication was ruined. The grooms man cake was inedible. I was very highly disappointed! The technician said they knew about it before they were renting this condo out. Very disappointed!

Not as promised

Unfortunately, the rental did not live up to its listing. WiFi and TVs were out upon arrival and after troubleshooting (resetting router, etc) we contacted Vacasa and they could not get a technician to the property until 36 hours later - halfway through our stay. Separately, the lock on the sliding glass door was broken and a flimsy piece of wood in the track was the only way to secure the door. We had a toddler and dog with us otherwise it wouldn’t have bothered us - but kind of a safety issue. Vacasa was alerted but never did anything to remedy the door. Grill was out of propane but it wouldn’t have mattered because ignition switch was busted and it probably hasn’t been cooked on since the 90s. There were several exposed outlets and some mold on the walls likely from excess moisture. Lastly, there was no physical key in the property as promised. Had to call to get a lockbox code we were never provided. I’m not one to typically complain, but when a rental requests you to run the dish washer, strip the sheets, and take out the trash before you checkout - on top of paying a significant cleaning fee - you would expect basic amenities would be as promised. People don’t go on vacation to play IT technician.

Rent another unit. This one needs love. Spots on furniture. the fire detector wouldn't stop beeping. the dishes in the cabinet were dirty. Curtains do not cover the window in the master bedroom. Refrigerator is not even a basic size-it tiny with no ice cubes or trays and the place smelled of day old shrimp. Not to mention the Large palm tree right in the middle of the balcony which is in also need of being pressure washed because it is so moldy. It's a shame because I have stayed other places in this same complex and have loved it. The beach is always awesome, but of all the places I have rented on VRBO this has probably been the only disappointment.

Great location

The property is a great location in a gated community. Close proximity to beach and clubhouse pool. Pickleball courts are also nearby. The condo is basic and practical. We had an issue arise with hot water but was quickly resolved when we reported it - even on a Sunday. We would stay here again.

Great place - nice pool, close to beach

Very nice overall. You must be able to climb stairs. Nice amenities; we enjoyed reading in the sun by the pool, walking on the beach... Car-port was just about too narrow for our full-sized truck. An unexpected (but apparently planned) power outage of a few hours took us a bit by surprise. But no damage done. We would certainly come again ... but might seek "handicapped accessible"!

Nice, comfortable stay

I've stayed at this property before, and at other units in the Barrier Dunes Community. Barrier Dunes is great - I love the short walk to the beach and the proximity to the state park. As with my prior stay, I found the townhome to be comfortable and nice. I'm not sure why this place gets so many bad reviews. It's true that it shows more wear than other units in Barrier Dunes where I've stayed - but those units are also more expensive. Personally, I think the trade-off for a lower price for a place with a little wear to be reasonable. I did take 1 star off due to the floors being a bit dirty. I would still stay here again.

Avoid if you can

This house was disappointing. So many things were broken and didnt work. The customer service agents i spoke to were nice but did nothing. It took them 2 days to bring beach towels. There cracked tiles, all 3 patios were not treated so there was a fear of splinters. The patio furniture wasdirty, broken and not treated to name a few. Stay away. Other units in the complex were mich better.

Love Barrier Dunes, condo was mediocre.

We have stayed at Barrier Dunes for several years now and love our vacations there; however, this particular condo was nothing special at all. The location within the Barrier Dunes community was great, with short walks to the beach and both pools. The condo itself was pretty dated. The paint kind of faded/scuffed up, carpet was old, main sliding glass door was hard to operate, and the stove was horrible. The refrigerator was also comically small. We will definitely be going back to Barrier Dunes, but will try to get a different condo unit next time.

Overall good

The place was nice and very close to beach. There were some minor problems such as dishwasher does not clean and hand washed over. There was some sticky stuff under silverware drawer when opened and could use some new sheets in master bedroom they have fuzz knots. The upstairs air went out and was 86 degrees but the customer was very pleasant and had maintenance out within couple of hours. There was nothing major and overall experience was good.

Needs A LOT of work

The property is not as it is portrayed in the photographs on-line. There are multiple cracks in the tile floors and stains on the carpets. The entire unit needs to be painted. The microwave is still missing the top piece and has duct tape on the door. This issue was reported in the past and hasn’t been addressed. There is also a cover missing on one of the ceiling lights in the kitchen. This was also mentioned in the past and hasn’t been addressed. The grill was covered in cheese from a previous tenants use and we had to clean it before using it. The counters were dirty and we found multiple dirty utensils and dishes that we had to clean before using. In reading past reviews of this property, the issues noted appear to be ongoing. The owner(s)/management company either don’t care about the issues or don’t want to invest resources to remedy the issues. I would never stay in this property again.
