Let me start with the awesome: the views of sunsets over the bay, the customer service, the proximity to the beach, the fact I couldn't hear neighbors through the walls, the storage unit downstairs for your surf and sand gear so you don't haul all the sand into the condo, proximity to the park and Back Bay, the Mexican restaurant next door, the Samsung TV that was so crisp I took a picture of the model number because I want one, the updated kitchen and enough space for the whole family...which for me was 4 boys and my in-laws, in addition to my wife and I.
However, the management team is either struggling to find good help, or isn't very attentive/doesn't visit units between turn arounds. Upon arrival, there was a puddle of water on the floor in the kitchen which was caused by the refrigerator shelving being inserted incorrectly and keeping the refrigerator from remaining sealed. If we had not caught that, we may have lost the majority of our food for our long weekend. The floors were visibly dirty, and there was a long hair in our tub...pretty easy things for a proper cleaning to take care of. Also, either the springs on the box springs are worn out, or the plastic they are wrapped in make the two king beds excessively noisy. My wife is a light sleeper, so that made for some rough sleeping...not a great thing for vacation when you're already dealing with small kids.
I'd recommend it with reservations. I'd love to say we'd be back for sure, but a good night's sleep is paramount to a successful vacation for our crew. And the cleaning was sub-par...so be prepared to do some cleaning yourself, if you don't want to feel like you're showering with the previous guests. It just stinks to have your first vacation task be cleaning up after someone else. And for paying $270 in Vacasa fees on top of nightly rate and VRBO's service fee, I expect better.
Lastly, I must point out that based on the responsiveness of the management team/owners, I'd say they need new cleaners, rather than ding the management on this one. They were polite, communicative, responsive, and prompt. With a good cleaning and some improved bedding, this place is a 5 for our family.
