The pros:
Comfortable beds (including the sofa bed in LR). Nicely updated and new kitchen and appliances. Cross ventilation (except in 2nd, darker bedroom). Baseball-throwing distance to the ocean and the lanais were practically directly above the pool. Beach umbrella, boogie boards, and snorkel gear provided (yay!) Condo is much more spacious than photos lead you to believe. Easy, free parking. Across the street from a health food store and a 2 block walk to a grocery store (among others) and a permanent stand of upscale food trucks for al fresco dining experiences.
Cons:
This unit was not very clean. Shag carpet in MBR is in serious need of a steam cleaning. Bathrooms have one small towel rod each (yet supposed to accommodate 6 guests?!). There are exactly 6 bowls, 6 salad and dinner plates, so be prepared to wash dishes a lot. Of the 3 plug-in fans provided, 1 did a very good job, a 2nd did an adequate job, and the 3rd was a joke. We visited in early August when heat and humidity were high, and so sweated it out a great deal: something for other renters to keep in mind. Oh, and there is a constant, high-pitched whine/hum from an electrical station/box that is almost directly below the 2nd bedroom window, so be prepared to listen to that if you have the levelor window open in that room.
Lastly, we rented this unit from Vacasa. BIG mistake. We went without (promised) beach towels and bath mats for the first 3 days, despite calling Vacasa. We also endured a broken, semi-working fan that blew chunks of dust and lint at us, for the first 3 days, until it was finally replaced. Vacasa was unresponsive, unhelpful, and once I drove to their local office, learned that they had never received my request for towels and a new fan. Tracking down those items is not how I wanted (or should have) spent my vacation. Boo on you, Vacasa.
