Great location
The location was perfect, beach just across the street, with gorgeous views to the beach. Kitchen was adequate, furniture OK. Communication via text only with VACASA was the worst, when they did return my text concerning a problem, I was told, "I'm off the clock", then when they did respond they wanted to send someone in our unit when we were not there, I would not approve. The unit while nice is an old apartment complex, the elevator has not been inspected since 2014, I know that because we were stuck in the elevator for just at 2 hours. I will never stay in another VACASA unit, wish I had checked their reviews on Google, horrible reviews.

Great home
I loved everything about this trip, modern fixtures, as advertised, ocean view and quiet. Now I have exception complaint. The Property Management company managing it is called VACASA. In the future, I will avoid booking properties that are managed by VACASA. We needed assistance for the Gate Code I sent notifications via VRBO twice and called into the customer service line and they simply told me they are making a "Ticket" and a team member would contact us back. No contact back to us. Thank heavens we had a local resident living in the same complex that assisted us getting into the gate. We had an enjoyable stay. The owner should reconsider using VACASA as there property management. I still rate the property 5 stars.

This condo is located facing the beach, and is in walking distance to many attractions nearby. The management company is very attentive, and answered all of my text messages within a few minutes.

Nice location but no a/c and not quiet
Pros: 1. The unit was clean and well equipped. 2. Location is fantastic. Cons: 1. There is no a/c. I didn't think this would be such an issue with breeze from the ocean, but it was a huge issue because the unit does not get any cross-breeze. 2. Because there is a parking lot between the unit and the ocean, it is very loud. With a/c this would not be a problem, but having to sleep with the windows open and having all of the parking lot noise made sleeping virtually impossible. 3. Entry directions need to be better. The parking spot is on one end of the building and the entrance with the key code is on the other end of the unit even though there are two other entry points in between there. It took us a ridiculous amount of time to figure out how to gain access when it could have been easily explained in the check-in instructions. Even a call to the property manager did not help us.

Noisy, less than stunning Balboa retreat
We were pleased with the overall cleanliness of the property and the layout was quite good, but we’re disappointed that no laundry detergent and no cleaning spray were available! We did not expect to have to grocery shop for these items after traveling from the east coast, this made it difficult to launder a few necessities and to wipe down countertops. The large slider with the “money view “ could use a good cleaning and one of the kitchen drawers had a broken track rendering it unusable. The parking lot between the property and the ocean was incredibly noisy from before dawn until very late at night and the windows needed to remain open to keep the temperature comfortable, so you can not block out some of this noise. A previous review had mentioned the need for a curtain on the living room slider which we feel is a must for some semblance of privacy , and several chairs are wobbly and could use some Maintenance. The location is convenient but we would not return to this particular location.
