I have mixed feelings about this place. There is a lot to like:
1. Location is wonderful. Right on the beach!
2. Nice balconies
3. Well stocked kitchen with nice appliances
4. Plentiful, good quality towels
What I didn't like:
1. The building construction is so poor that you could hear everything the neighbors said, and I assume vice versa. Although this is a non-smoking unit, the neighbors smoked and the cigarette smell on the balcony and through the walls was really obnoxious. Obviously not the owner's fault, but it is something that should be considered if it is an issue. The tackiness of the construction is evident throughout.
2. The unit was cleaned but not great. I absolutely would NOT say it was dirty, but the cleaning could be stepped up.
3. Vacasa staff readily picks up the phone when you need to call but their help is marginal. When I asked how to turn up the air conditioning (unit was cold upon arrival) I was told to turn off the circuit that the AC is on. I didn't want NO air conditioning...just the ability to control it. Eventually I found the unit and fixed it. Then I called to ask where the advertised beach chairs and umbrellas were. When they weren't where the Vacasa people thought they should be, they told me that the beach stuff advertised on the site were not guaranteed! Really??? Didn't I pay for them? Eventually we did find them in a storage shed, on the balcony off the kitchen, but the door to the balcony was locked and we had to climb through a window to access the shed and then lift the chairs through the open window. I assume the locked door was an accident but the Vacasa staff response couldn't possibly demonstrate less caring. I guess they are "quiet quitting".
Finally, for those traveling with little children, this is not the house for you. The stairs are not suitable for little kids, who could really hurt themselves. This is not a criticism; rather a consideration for families with young ones.
