The condo was very dated. We thought it was clean, until the longer we stayed we realized it wasn’t. And when we had to take off the sheets and all at the end of our stay, we saw horrible stains on the mattress covers. And the walls seemed to be paper thin as we could hear the people next to us. The one good thing was that we watched the Christmas parade from the balcony. The view of the beach was very good!

The home needs major updates. Walls need painting, furniture needs updating, linens are so old we slept on top of them instead of under. Pillows are flat and different shapes. Kitchen was updated. I have pictures if requested included a scared toilet seat which should have been replaced long ago. We requested a postponement from the VASCAS agency due to large winter storm and was refused. Left a full day before we should due to the storm and the disappointing condo

The views from the beach balcony and the highway balcony were wonderful. The Carousel is a great place to stay and we have stayed there numerous times. The living area had updated floor and nice furniture. They should have replaced all the tile area in the condo. Honestly, it was disgusting. Some rooms badly need repainting - the entry hall, master bath, especially.

Great Location - Unit Needs Work

We really like the location of the Carousel, the view from the 16th floor is spectacular both on the ocean side and the bay side, the indoor and outdoor pools were very nice as was the whirlpool. The outdoor bar and seating was a lot of fun. The off season pricing was reasonable.

Great views and location!

The views are worth it! You have ocean views and bay views! The complex was great and lots to do with kids. The furniture in the living room could use a deep cleaning, but other than that it was good. Dryer had some issues. We would totally stay here again!

Good location but little outdated property

Property requires renovation. All the things in the house are old and need to be updated. I had to go to property manager thrice during my stay as the keys stopped working or the doors getting jammed. The pros are the location, nice ocean view from the property, secluded beach and the play area inside the property.

The mirrors were not clean in the living room. The front door was broke, which they fixed it quickly but not accurately. Their was a huge tv in the closet, in which they later took out. The closet doors in the master bedroom was broke. I understand things happen but they put the new ones in the other bedroom closet and they didn't have access to the closet. They removed them while we were their. No forks for 6 people, no pot holders either. I also understand people steal this stuff all the time. The building is old so we couldn;t run a toaster and a coffee machine at the same time for it tripped the breaker.

Carousel

When you first walk in appears clean. Upon walking on floors your feet turn black, my son woke up with a bed bug crawling on him in the room with twin beds so he moved to couch and qould not sleep in the bed again. Dont blame him at all. I was sitting on master toilet to pee and the door to the washer room fell on my toe. Black and blue toenail will probably fall off. When my husband looked here u dont have a pin in the bottom of the door just hanging on there. We teied to make toast and toaster didnt work either. Just overall was not pleased for the money. Wouldnt recommend. The facilities was great.

This condo was overpriced, and not fit to be rented. Upon arrival it was not cleaned and all the prior renters linens were piled inside, they sat outside our door for our entire stay. The AC was bad, furniture stained, kitchen walls cover in grease and splattered food, microwave falls apart when you open the door, just to name a few. Multiple calls and texts to Vacasa got me 2 people with a broom and a Walmart bag to "clean" after we were there. Still waiting to hear from Vacasa on a partial refund for overpriced disaster.

End of summer stay

The place was grungy, chairs broken, missing hinges, broken patio items, generally outdated furniture and accommodations. A good paint job would have helped. We could not make any adjustments to the AC making us use multiple circular fans to stay somewhat comfortable. Lights were flickering off and on. We bought shower curtains/liners and bathroom rugs because the ones onsite were filthy. The worst experience we have had at OC and with any VRBO or Vacasa vacation. Totally disappointed! Will not becoming back and now I question these vacation websites as to their quality requirements.

Reviews are pretty accurate

The earlier reviews are pretty accurate. The home is outdated, furniture is stained, the laundry door is missing a hinge, and there are limited spoons for some reason (lol). It seems like there are small things like new bedding, small fixes to broken things, and furniture covers could make an aesthetic difference, but that probably accounts for a lower price. On the other hand, the views are beautiful and the location is great. The Carousel has nice amenities and entertainment options that we used. Unfortunately, our biggest complaints are that two of the amenities didn't really work. The DVD player was broken and the internet barely worked. The unit uses the internet for the resort and so the signal was terrible when we were in the room. We would use Vacasa again and would stay at The Carousel, but not this unit.
