My family stayed for a lovely 7 days at the Bahia vista in OC. When we came in the property was just as described, it was open welcoming and we had a lovely little welcome gift for our stay. As we settled we did realize it didn’t seem as though the cleaning crew did much of the cleaning. We had thought it looked like the previous tenant had tidied up and the cleaning crew may have inspected and gave it a thumbs up, dishes were dirty and put away, counters were dirty with crumbs and food mess, floors had sand and pasta on them, one bathroom still had hair in the drain. so my family and I luckily had brought cleaning stuff and cleaned. We had to contact the building manager to get a broom, the cleaning crew had come back the following day (which was fine) and bleached the floor- with straight bleach. Stunk us out of the unit completely. We realized we just need to take care of things ourselves from there on out. That was the only disappointing thing about the stay, because it didn’t take the few of us long to do but you can’t check in until 3pm which seemed like a waste of a day and our vacation if we could have just cleaned ourselves and been settled, relaxed and started our vacation.
The unit is on the bay and although it’s labeled as obstructed view you can see a lovely view of the bayside and sunset from the balcony and living room which is our favorite part. The neighbors are lovely, the neighborhood is beautiful, the pool is wonderful and even has a bathroom in the pool area! So helpful when you have young kids. The street was quiet, fishing is almost out your back door, very close to some amazing restaurants.
My family and I have been going to OC for 18+ years, what I loved about this property is You’re off the boardwalk which is great, you’re away from the noise and yet so close to all the things you want to do. This is a great unit for a family & I do thank our Hosts.
