Surf 103

El Faro is a great place to stay...as we have stayed there number of times. However, Surf 103 and VACASA has unfortunately been the biggest disappointment. Think twice about renting this unit. It's way less than luxury and the management company will not do anything about concerns or requests. Thankfully we were only in our rooms to sleep and get out....

Home away from home

The staff were very helpful, sometimes going out of their way to help us with planning trips, attentive to a few things that needed fixing, etc. The photos are accurate, but the place is even more beautiful when you are there. We loved the location, the accommodations, but mostly the staff who helped in many ways.

Nice location decent place

It was clean but management wouldn’t let us check-in an hour early and there was no water in the water cooler. The unit is basic with really small bedrooms. The location is great but the property is dated and the boardwalk was damaged so it wasn’t safe to walk on. Overall decent place but not great.

Customer service rated zero

If you need any customer service avoid Isis, Pablo, or maria. These 3 fools take pleasure in wasting your time and DON'T help. Call regular customer service for help. Why? 1 I booked 11 months early and at 2 months, I needed to shift my days. Come a day later and stay a day later. Instead of canceling the first night and booking me for the 2nd night, they all wanted to charge me as if I was booking the entire reservation new and increase my reservation by almost 3 hundred. Battling through their incompetence for 2 days by email, I finally called customer service who canceled my 1st day and added an additional day and charged me the thirty dollar increased fee. 2. My husband tore a tendon Sunday and we arrived Tuesday with our 3 and 1 year old. I rented a wheel chair. We needed to rent a car to transport it and needed parking in the building. The closest lot was up a steep hill. I asked isis about renting a spot and she said no, they didn't have one. Instead of them calling in, I got the run around AGAIN by email. Thank God I had stayed in El Faro the past 2 years because I called the front desk myself and arranged for a spot at fifteen a day and the front desk woman was lovely to work with. 2. Due to the situation, we arrived a few hours early which would have been fine since we would have walked however we needed to check in early to receive the wheel chair. I asked for early check in. They were rude by email and not only unhelpful but telling me that "this isn't the only property they handle". All I asked for was to make a call to ask cleaning to do our apt 1st so we could check in. This aggravating email exchange took 3 hours. Finally they did it and we checked in 2 hours early. 4. Within 20 min of my 1 year old walking barefoot in the "newly cleaned apartment " his feet were filthy. I sent pictures. They said they'd send cleaning. They came Friday with no notice and left. They came Sunday and cleaned. For 5 days we had a dirty apt. 5. My reservation said 5 adults and we were 2 babies/ 2 adults. I tried to add 2 adult family to my reservation and isis and Maria made it miserable for 2 days saying no because the apt fit 5 and they were counting my 1 year old who was in a travel crib and not a bed. Also, the apt, according to the contract fits 6 anyway.Finally called customer service and they said my son was under 2 so didn't even count!! Wasted 2 days of my time AGAIN! El faro itself is wonderful and the staff is great. Vacasa is awful. Avoid!
