Reason for rating:
Overall, the unit was very nice, and I would consider staying here again. However, about halfway through my stay, the AC went out. The host was as accomodating as possible, and it turned out to be an issue for the entire complex, so relocation options were limited. I do not believe this is representative of the unit as a whole, but it did have a significant impact on my visit. That said, Vacasa was very apologetic and did eventually get me to a unit with independent AC.
Things to know:
* Beach chairs - There are some "community" chairs and umbrellas available, and they are about what you would expect. If you have your own to bring, I would recommend it. Otherwise, there are some available that will do. Additionally, there are the standard rental units available if that's your thing.
* The kitchen is not particularly well appointed - no salt/pepper shakers, no tupperware if you cook and have leftovers, multiple pots but only a single sauce pan (plenty of plates and silverware, though). Not necessarily a con, just something of which to be aware.
Pros:
* The view obviously - it is at least as fabulous as the pictures indicate, and that's why you're here, right?
* The bed is reasonably comfortable.
* The patio furniture could use a fresh coat of paint, but is actually relatively comfortable.
Cons:
* AC went out (see above: not representative of the unit, but definitely impacted my visit)
* The bedroom faces the parking lot (not obvious from the pictures), and the lights are very bright at night. A set of blackout curtains would be very helpful here.
* No chain lock or other way to secure the front door at night beyond the deadbolt.
* I don't know if this just keeps happening to me or if it is endemic to the current state of housekeeping, but there was a hair on the shower wall. The rest of the bathroom (including the rest of the shower) was clean, but just ick.
