Condo location was perfect for quick beach access, especially since we had our dog with us! Condo was neat and put together upon arrival and the rental company was easy to work with when a minor issue with the streaming services offered arose. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend!

Peace, quiet and the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this off-the-beaten-path location! The beach was a few minutes away, almost no traffic to speak of, and the neighbors were nice and welcoming. Would definitely recommend staying here and would definitely stay here in the future!

Location was great. Wifi was strong and stable. Furniture was nice and plush. Interior paint needed some attention. A pod coffee machine would have been nice, only had drip coffee maker. Bathroom tub had mold/mildew in it. Check in/out instructions from Vacasa were contradictory.

Peaceful Retreat

I stayed here a week! It was so quiet and peaceful. Short walk across the street to the beach. Very clean condo and had all the amenities needed. Great location! Not far from several great restaurants. Will be returning soon!

This condo was in a great location and very quiet. Everything was clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable. It was perfect for my husband, me and our precious fur baby. Would definitely recommend.

Check out confusion

Very dated condo. Quite uncomfortable bed… much too soft. Living room furniture has holes in it. Paid extra $25 for late checkout and received email stating we had to be out at 1000am, the original time.

Great location, no frills

The condo is as described. Furniture could use some upgrades as the cushions are sinking in and mattresses are lumpy.On first look place seemed pretty clean until we went to bed. When we pulled the comforters back there was black dog hair all over the sheets. I think the sheets were clean, I think the previous vacationers had a black dog whose hair was all over the comforters (or this is what I’m telling myself). Thankfully we had brought our own sheets and blankets (I couldn’t find in the description that they were provided), so I quickly changed the sheets and used our own blankets. The water doesn’t get very hot, so showers were luke warm and I guess the washer wouldn’t drain so a service man showed up w/o us knowing to drain the washer. The previous people must have reported this and nothing was communicated. The lock on the front door was tricky…could be user error but it took us several tries every time we unlocked the door. All in all, the condo served its purpose and we enjoyed a few days of R&R at the beach. (Just glad we had our own sheets as you can’t get in touch with anyone at Vacasa quickly).
