DO NOT STAY!! Green Pool, Disgusting Elevator and ROACHES!

Please stay elsewhere, this place is run down, and nasty! Too much money for what it is! The pool was closed all but 1 day of our week long stay, then reopened greener than grass and with a large floating patch of algae. The door keypad died on us the first day and we had to call Vacasa’s call center (overseas of course) and explain the situation multiple times before they were able to get us in the unit with the lock box code. This gave us a single key to get in with. We unfortunately locked ourselves out the next day when leaving for the beach, and it took almost 4 hours for someone to let us back in the unit. Not to mention you can’t talk to anyone local without a huge hassle. The door keypad battery was not fixed until the following day - way too long to just replace a battery. The place was kind of clean - but major neglect was evident - dusty, peeling walls and ceilings, dents, scuffs and mysterious stains on the walls, etc. we found a roach in our bathroom vanity drawer on the first day. The air barely kept up and never shut off and all the vents were choked with dust and grime. One shower was moldy and the other’s bar was broken. The freezer was nasty and rusted and the fridge did not work the first few days and leaked nasty water all over our food. The elevator smelled like urine and rotten fish, it banged on each floor and we could hear every time it went up or down in our room. I have more but don’t have enough characters. These sound picky but are just the facts!

Stay

The condo was clean but old. We stayed there 3 nights and we were on the 6th floor and the elevator did not work so we had to climb 6 flights of stairs every time we went out and came in. There was construction work going on right outside our window and it was very loud you could not even hear the tv. Loved the closeness and access to the beach. I think they should inform people about the construction work when booking so they will know before hand.

Needs a deep cleaning everywhere! And to be updated—worn out LR furniture.

Not very inviting. Front door just nasty! Whole unit/building needs a deep cleaning everywhere. Can’t see that in photos online. Very disappointed. Sofas worn out! Miserable to try and sit on them. Old, old, old!
