Lovely, comfy, and cozy

What a lovely little place! It was clean and comfortable and easy access to everything. Neighbors were quiet and respectable. I had a couple questions which were answered promptly. I have no complaints and will most likely be back to this very spot.

Such a cut little studio!

Friendly people! Clean, neat adorable little studio…perfect for two (and the dog)! We had no internet the entire week, however, and that was the only negative. Techs tried for two days with no luck, but we did get a partial refund which certainly

Short Beach Vacation

Husband, daughter and I got away for a short beach stay. Plenty of room for the three of us. Clean, well kept, kitchen well supplied. Short walk to beach and next to pool which our daughter loved. It was perfect for what we needed. Management was quick to respond with a question. No problems or issues!!

Convenient/comfy/clean

This property was very conveniently located right across the street from the beach access. Beach access Also had a nice little bar and grill. Pools and amenities were nice. The pool closest to the condo is not heated and does not have hot tubs. However, there is a larger one just across the street that is heated with three hot tubs. My family of 4 had a great stay!

Beautiful Gated Condos w/ Beach Access

This condo was great for my husband and I. It was only the two of us so the pull-down bed was plenty of room, besides the bunk beds also in this room. We had not known about the gated community before booking and had no trouble being allowed in or finding the condo. The extra dose of security was very calming for anxiety. The beach access was less than a 5 minute walk away down a path, using a code at the gate and a convenient crosswalk button to cross the road. We were less than 10 mins away from all of the attractions and restaurants we wanted to check out, including a Mexican restaurant and bar nearby that had the best/nicest staff. This was the second time I have used vacasa and will continue to do so in the future.

Great location with a few setbacks

We really enjoyed our condo, it’s just across the street from the beach, which was nice. Everything was very clean and they had everything we needed. Biggest con was the air vent directly above the Murphy bed that would drip on us while we were sleeping. The faucet in the kitchen was also finicky as the handle seemed like it wasn’t screwed in very well. Overall we had a great stay, it was the perfect size for our little family of 3.
