The room was roomy and comfortable. The bedrooms were large and bathrooms nice.
We loved the spacious bedrooms and living area. The living area was large enough for 8 persons to sit and enjoy being together. I loved having three bedrooms and three baths. The ocean view from the balcony was beautiful.
The condo and property were wonderful. The view from the balcony was BEAUTIFUL! The property had wonderful accommodations, and everything was great. We did have one issue with unbearable construction noise from another unit that totally derailed our plans for a stay-at-home day. However, after talking with local HOA and the local Vacasa rep we were able to work out a solution for that day. Would stay here again as everything was great.

Needs an update
The location is good and view amazing. This condo needs and update. The furniture and carpet are dirty and the ceiling is peeling. The fake plants need a good cleaning too. Overall it was ok.
This place has a lot of potential since it’s in a great location and has a beautiful view. However, it’s not fun staying in a place with a lot of items, not quite working or broken. The first thing we noticed was the remote it had corroded batteries in it as well as the other remotes, had missing batteries in them for the TVs, next the middle bathroom toilet would run all the time and we had to keep fixing it so it would flush. The shower door in the master bathroom was difficult to open and close constantly where we were hurting ourselves just to get it open or shut it. The curtains in the front room should be black out curtains so people can sleep when the sun starts to come up. What is there now does not serve any purpose at all to protect the light from coming in to the room the chairs on the balcony had broken arms, etc. to them. The front bedroom closest to the water has a hump in the center of the mattress where this mattress probably needs to be flipped or turned. It would be nice if this unit has some beach chairs, toys, etc. for the tenants staying in it as well as beach towels. This place works for the view is awesome… However, it is dated an aged. It needs a bit of a facelift inside.
The condo is lovely! We LOVED the location, decor, view, and spaciousness of this unit. We were disappointed in the scarcity of blankets, linens, and paper products. Each of the three beds had sheets and a very thin bedspread. There was not a blanket of any sort in the entire condo. There were 18 extra pillows, but 0 extra pillowcases.
The Condo was perfect!
It was just as advertised and we will definitely book it again in the future!
