Wonderful condo and property

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, and nicely finished. Everything was just as described. The only issue we had were Poor instructions on how to enter the condo initially. We were told it was a code on the door, but it was a code to a lock box with an actual key. And everyone must go to the office and register their license plate in order to enter the gate during daylight hours. This was not relayed to us either. Other than these minor issues, it’s a great place.

Vacasa 11/28-12/6

I was surprised when I got there to discover it was an Ocean view as opposed to ocean front. The view was a small space between two buildings that were ocean front. There wasn’t a picture on the site depicting the 21 very steep stairs to get in, & the 13 additional steps of high gloss hardwood stairs to get o the bedrooms. It was a downer to be soooo cautious every time we had to climb or descend the dangerous stairs. The other problem were the heavy dust bunnies under all the den furniture that blew around while the patio door was open to hear the ocean. We could barely see the ocean with the dunes, & stairs down to the beach between the two buildings. The kitchen is nothing like the posted photos….much smaller & barely room to open the refrigerator doors & freezer. I hope to return to that complex next year, but will NOT stay in that unit. I love that facility & have stayed there in the past, & was much happier with the last experience. All in all it was a beautiful week with amazing weather with gorgeous sunrises, & sunsets over the inter coastal waterways & ocean. I paid a premium for that unit, & expected a better scenario.

Lovely, but beach was closed during week

The place was really clean, cozy and in a great location. Part of the reason we chose it was because it was on the beach and we didn’t find out until we got there that the beach was closed all day during the week. Luckily there were many things to do nearby, so it wasn’t a huge issue for us.

From the moment we opened the door it felt clean. It felt safe in the times of Covid. The living room looked just like the picture posted in the Internet.
