Short stay

Had a 3 night stay between Christmas and New Years and everything was great. The only negative was the number of restaurants within walking distance that were closed during this time but there were many great places to eat.

First Beach Trip

What a perfect experience all around!! We brought our 1yo and 3yo to the beach for the first time and this place was great!! The condo was clean, comfortable, great location, good amenities and easy to find. It’s located on the 18th of 19 floors and at the very end of the hall. Perfect! We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Condo

Arrived at Lighthouse condos and checked in at the second floor office. We have stayed at the Lighthouse several times and always has been a very easy check in process. Very nice lady made the process easy easy. Opened the door of the condo and was very surprised with how beautiful the condo was decorated. True beach decor!! Loved the whole condo and did enjoy the huge shower in main bath. This condo is high enough to see a lot of dolphins and sharks. We had a blue moon while we were there and it was truly beautiful. The only negative thing with the condo was the stove and microwave needed to be updated. We stayed seven nights and would definitely book this condo again.

No king sheets for king beds

All was pretty good except we had 2 king beds and only one set of king sheets. All other sheets DID NOT fit the beds, and there was no where near enough wash rags and towels for 6 bathers!

Two weeks on the beach

Great location. Condo was very comfortable and two king beds is great. Overall pretty clean upon arrival. Had two issues that required calling Vacasa. Very poor response. Broken deck chair reported day 2. Finally picked up for repair on our last day (13). Big leak from garbage disposal. Reported but they could not address before we checked out. Building security came to verify the leak but only reported what we had already. We’ll go back again but not through Vacasa

Smelly BAD

We have stayed at lighthouse several times... always had a good experience with our condos... unfortunately this one was a bust! It smelled horrible in this unit... strongest in the master and master bathroom. Smelled likes a mix of cigarette/cigar smoke and body odor. We tried everything... cleaning crew came twice, I used carpet deodorizer, scent plug-ins and candles... nothing helped. Not sure what the deal was but I would NOT suggest staying here unless it's fixed! Side note, Kaiser property management was kind and helpful as best they could be. They didn't have a place to move us but I feel they would have if it was available... they tried their best to accommodate, but this was just not resolvable.

Not impressed

Furniture in bedrooms was awful, one bedroom the dresser drawers had no tracks nor the night stands. The other bedroom the bed sounded like it was going to fall to the ground every time you move. The microwave looked like the inside might have caught fire at once or twice in its life. The dishwasher sounded like a airplane taking off when it started. The dryer had to have maintenance when we got there, cause it was not heating up. One bedroom also had the mirror closet doors, that were falling off the track the moment you opened them. Then to top it off, Fourth of July there was a alarm to evacuate building for fire safety an we didn't eve hear it from inside the condo at all, we found out from a friend who was downstairs BBQ'n if they would not have called to tell us we would have been in serious trouble if it were a real fire. Huge safety issue in my book, especially when you're on the 18th floor with more kids than you can pack down stairs.

The property and condo were tidy and clean. Owners were very responsive. Felt like home away from home.The walk to the beach was easy. Took around a minute or so but very convenient. Loved the shelter right as you walked through the gate. Made for a great shaded relaxing point or just to sit and gaze at the beach. The pool was literally right outside your door. Would definitely recommend this property.

Very comfortable, clean condo in great location!

The condo was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and had all we needed for an enjoyable stay. However, our last night there turned into a nightmare. The latch on the balcony sliding door was loose and latched shut while we were all on the balcony. Vacasa customer service were NO help! I called to report our dilemma to them at 10:30 p.m. and were told their maintenance man would be available to help us at 9:00 a.m., to call a locksmith or the fire dept. no locksmiths were open. The fire dept would not come. Fortunately, Lighthouse security/maintenance were vigilant and determined to not allow the 4 of us in our mid 60’s to spend the night on the balcony. After multiple attempts and with the assistance of the local police dept. we were “rescued” at 2:00 a.m. I notified Vacasa again at that time and expressed my disappointment with their lack of interest in our situation. A report was to be made and I was to be contacted the next day about possible compensation for our inconvenience. I never heard back from them and won’t be staying at any of their properties again!

Highly Recommend!

Beautiful Property, exactly like the pictures shown! Very clean. Beautiful view. Property staff, very friendly and helpful. Living room couch in desperate need of replacement. One corner of sectional completely broken down. Dish washer was a little tricky, broken inside door, but still operable. Nevertheless, we highly recommend and will be back!

We loved this unit! It was clean and beautiful. The balcony was so nice. We didn’t use the fold out couch so I can’t comment on that. The guest shower was leaking but the owner let us know and offered to fix it but we advised to wait until we left. It was fine. We had 4 adults and 1 child and had plenty of room. The pools and beach access were wonderful. Close to great restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again!
