Disappointing is an Understatement
An older property that could use some upgrades, but our issue was with the condition of the condo itself. Kitchen floor & counters were not clean when we got there, but that was minor compared with other issues encountered. Primary bedroom door was barely hanging on the frame by 1 hinge, and was not able to be fully closed. Primary bathroom had no cold running water, so toilet tank was not filling post-flush. We had to bring pitchers of water from kitchen to fill the tank. Also, because there was no cold water, both the shower & sink were hot water only. That being said, you could only take a screaming hot shower. Oh yeah…and the shower water would only run if the bathroom sink was also running. So even though this is billed as a 2 bed/2 bath condo, one bathroom was unusable & primary bedroom had less than ideal privacy due to door issue.
Bed skirts on both beds were stained and dirty.
Chair in primary bedroom was broken and not able to be sat in.
Patio furniture was broken and dirty, so we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful ocean views.
No response from Vacasa regarding door or bathroom issue, although they did say they would send someone over to clean the floor (like that was the big problem). In fact, my inquiry regarding late check out was only responded to 2 days after we checked out (request was made in the weeks prior to our visit).
This “property management” company isn’t doing much “management” of the property.

Location versus cleanliness
The location of this 2 bedroom condo was excellent. The cleanliness not so much. Mgmt. staff was quick to try and remedy the situations, but the condo is in desperate need of an upgrade and a very good cleaning. We would not stay here again.

This place has a great view! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The late checkout was so helpful! Don’t like that they make you pay for parking.

Unethical property management cons
In my experience, the property group was asked specific questions well in advance, about the property amenities prior to booking. I specifically requested that they contacted the building manager or check to ensure we were receiving what we were paying for. We were assured that the rental would offer the amenities reflected in the listing. Upon arriving, after not receiving an email from the property manger until requesting it for the check in process, we were finally able to chase down our keys. Upon arrival, we made the property management team aware of our dissatisfaction of the property and our desire to remedy the circumstances via changing of properties were repeatedly ignored!
Upon insisting we receive communication, we were told they were resolving for us via a refund, by the person that came to the property, beating on our door frantically, demanding that I send a photo of my ID.
In addition, you will find the property to be far from “Modern” and more like frozen in 1990, with a time traveling couch from 2020. The fridge was literally rusted and unsanitary. The entire property had a bizarre porch locked in prison style jail cell, ours was decorated with dirt, trash, and another renter's dirty laundry bundled in a bag waiting to be picked up in the tiny walkway for us to struggle to get around all weekend.
It’s “ocean front”, if you disregard the two buildings DIRECTLY in front of it. They truly outdid themselves to misrepresent the property in an attempt to justify the cost and have repeatedly ignored our requests to resolve this matter. I’m disheartened that a visit to the area for a college visit for our daughter shifted towards begging “managers” to rectify the circumstances that our mistrust in them led us to.
Renters beware and if you own this property…you should be aware of the unethical practices of whom you have entrusted your property to.
