The location is amazing, you can walk to beach and the main strip with lots of restaurants. The pool and gym was very nice. The only call out is that the unit we were in was across the street from the train tracks with frequent trains passing by. I'd go back to that complex, but I'd pick a different unit, although we did get used to the train. One other call out, no AC, but they did provide fans. Unfortunately we were they during a crazy heat spell so it was hot a couple of days.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the walkable location, the pool and the gym. We appreciate the feedback about the trains and the heat. Homes here don't have air conditioning, which is why we provide fans, and we'll make sure future guests know about the train noise when choosing a unit. We'd love to welcome you back to North Coast Village! Kind Regards, MakeMyVacation

Was the farthest unit from the beach. Out the back door was the road and a passenger train on the other side as well. There was lots of foliage between the deck area and the road so you could not see it. Overall was a great place.

Such a beautiful location and property! The entire check in and check out process was completely seamless and very efficient; communication was concise and flawless. The unit itself was cozy and comfortable, very well stocked and super clean. We especially loved that we were on the ground floor and could enjoy the back patio. The facility amenities were a huge hit with our three boys (12, 8, 5) and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous - almost felt like we were in a tropical destination! 5/5 would come back again!

No air conditioning was pretty rough to sleep in. It was really hot (August) so we had a hard time sleeping with only fans and windows open.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 25, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the condo felt too warm during your August stay and that it made sleeping difficult. Many condos at North Coast Village do not have air conditioning due to the coastal climate, but we understand that during hot summer periods, fans and open windows may not always be enough to keep the space comfortable. We’re sorry this affected your rest. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review the fan setup to see if anything can be improved for future guests. Thank you again for staying with MakeMyVacation. – MakeMyVacation Team

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Pros: The unit was clean and stocked well. The property was beautiful and fairly close to the ocean and harbor. Cons: No A/C, portable fans provided but due to the vegetation around unit no air was able to circulate. The screen doors have locks but the locks do not work, so you are unable to leave doors open. The pull out sofa is terrible, no other words needed. The master shower was extremely small and difficult to use due to the location of toilet. Back patio was unable to be used due to mosquitoes. Overall the unit is okay and the plants are pretty. However, I would not stay in that unit again. The property is great and I would definitely stay in another unit on the property.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the clean, well-stocked condo and beautiful grounds, but we’re sorry the unit’s comfort fell short. We understand how the limited airflow, nonworking screen door locks, uncomfortable sofa bed, and bathroom layout affected your stay, along with the mosquitoes preventing you from enjoying the patio. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. If you return to the property, we’d be happy to help you find a different unit that better suits your needs. Kind Regards, MakeMyVacation

As second time stay in same unit (summer 2025 & summer 2026) it was good with a few exceptions: mosquitoes a plenty and NO AC as so hot and humid this time. Fans helped a little. The recycle drawer was broken both stays so my grand son who lives near by mentioned hardware needs to be adjusted as he had to close it for me. The fridge should be replaced as freezer is rusty. We still like the unit as comfy with great kitchen. Think it was more expensive as compared to last summer. Had sticker shock when I saw the fees attached to the three day rental on my credit card, however, it was a family event including a funeral so had to accept what I believe to be HIDDEN fees. We think a unit closer to the ocean might work next time as resort is very nice, well maintained, great staff when needed, etc.Thanks for asking,Roberta

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback and for choosing to stay in the same unit again. We’re glad to hear you still enjoyed the comfort of the condo, the great kitchen, and the North Coast Village property overall. We’re sorry this stay had a few frustrations, especially during a hot and humid period. Many condos at North Coast Village do not have air conditioning due to the coastal climate, but we understand that fans may only help so much during unusually warm weather. We’re also sorry to hear mosquitoes were an issue during your visit. We appreciate you letting us know about the recycle drawer and refrigerator/freezer condition. Since this was noticed during both stays, we will be sure to review those items with our team and the owner so needed adjustments or improvements can be considered. Regarding pricing, rates and fees can vary by season, demand, length of stay, and platform requirements, but we understand how frustrating it can feel when the total is higher than expected. We’re sorry that part of the experience was disappointing, especially while traveling for a family event and funeral. Thank you again for your continued support and for taking the time to share helpful feedback. We’re glad you still enjoyed the resort and our team, and we would be happy to help you find a condo closer to the ocean for your next stay. – MakeMyVacation Team
