Couldn’t be better!

Everything about the stay was amazing. The property is in the perfect location. I got to see a beautiful sunset right through the living room every night! Most necessities were provided for my stay. The only negative was not being able to park in the lot and having to pay for it either in a lot of on the street.

Perfect casual getaway

This place was beautiful! You honestly cannot beat the location and the water view was stunning! The place itself was spotless and extremely comfortable. Yes, the bedroom AC was loud as some other reviews have said, but completely manageable and didn’t bother us at all. Would high recommend staying here!

We loved the condo, the location and the view. We will definitely stay here again. I did read the description describing road construction out front. That is no longer the case.

Good over all experience

The location is fantastic, and the apartment is super cute. our only issue was with the general comfort of the place. The bed was not comfortable, there was only one very thin and hard blanket, and the AC unit is located two feet from the bed, inside the apartment and is exceptionally loud.

Good experience

The place was cute and in a great location. the main negatives of the place is that the AC unit is right beside the bed and it is loud. You have to park multiple blocks away and the price to park adds up quickly. Other than that the place was clean and nice.

Some issues

When we got there the ac had just been fixed and when we came back from dinner it was out again and 84°. Not a good night at all but in the morning they got the ac guy to fix it and everyone was very helpful. It was the Vacasa team. Good job.

Nice place but …

The condo itself met our expectations until the air conditioning stopped cooling on some of the hottest days of summer. VACASA was difficult to reach and they were unable to get the equipment running before our departure. We requested compensation but nothing happened.

Management extremely rude

I received a text from management accusing my dog of barking all night long. I was asked what I planned on doing to rectify the situation. We were in the condo with the dog from 6pm-8:30 am the next day. She didn’t even growl let alone bark. She didn’t bark when the couple in the street were fighting with a cop screaming over them at 2 am. She didn’t bark when they dumped 5000lbs of glass beer bottles in the parking lot at 4am. She also didn’t bark when the air kicked on and sounded like the space shuttle taking off in the bedroom. Asking before you accuse goes a long way. I have immediate family in Wilmington so I have to go back. I will not be dealing with this company again.

Total mess up

Our daughter and son-in-law checked in late. Somewhat awkward process, but they got in. NO air conditioning! This is Wilmington NC in June…NOT good. Then they got locked out with possessions inside because battery in electronic door lock died. No one from Managment was able to assist at midnight, so they had to sit in the parking garage while trying to find a room at midnight on a weekend in a tourist town…the 6th place finally had a room. Management very apologetic in the morning and said they will give me a refund…they said that multiple issues with equipment AND personnel collided to create a perfect storm that meant all “fail-safes” failed. But the fun weekend in Downtown Wilmington that we were trying to treat them to was a disaster. They cut the weekend short and went home that morning.
