Great location

Condo located right on the beach was as advertised. Well laid out and quiet on the end of the building next to the stairs. The included 2 beach chairs and umbrella was a great addition to the week! The rentals were very expensive and glad they were included with the rental. Vacasa was also great to work with as their communication with us was top notch. If we go to this area again, we would definitely stay at Island Echos again!

Very nice and clean place. The only thing I have to complain about is how loud the air conditioner was. I would wake up every time it turned.

Great spot!

Larger than I thought it would be and the kitchen was really equipped with everything you would need. Water pressure in the shower was WONDERFUL! Beach chairs and umbrella were a great additions. Someone needs to oil the sliding door to the balcony and I would also strongly suggest a screen door be added - you go to the beach to hear the waves and if we left the sliding door open we were inundated with gnats and flies. The A/C was really loud in the bedroom.

Nice place

Condo was nice and clean. The proximity to the beach was awesome! Such a short walk. The complimentary chairs and umbrella were a huge plus as well. Lobby bathrooms were extremely clean. Making the reservations and check in/out super smooth and easy. The only reasons for not leaving a 5 star review: The master bed was super comfortable except there is a dip in the center of the bed which would be no issue if just one person sleeping in the bed. With two people in the bed the dip makes it uncomfortable. And, the shower pressure was super strong which I loved (husband did not), but the water only stayed hot for a couple of minutes. We could have called maintenance about that, but didn’t want to fool with that so we managed.

Ok

I thought the condo was kind of smelly. And the patio door was really hard to open and close. We got there really early and asked to be let in but no dice. Not even 15 minutes. It’s so expensive to stay anywhere anymore with all the fees. It’s beginning to seem like it’s not worth it. I don’t think I should have to strip the sheets if I’m paying a cleaning fee.

Great views and beach. Misrepresented listing with multiple customer service issues

The property was adequate with a great balcony and lovely ocean view. Wonderful beach. The unit was outdated and had several issues that would have been over looked had not two specific issues tainted the stay. The two major issues were that the beach set up that is claimed to be included in the listing title and description, is not included. It is available for an additional fee or if you get lucky and get to the beach in time, you can snag a set up on a first come first serve basis. The other major issue was the noise disturbance detection and service. We were woken up every single night to texts claiming we had created a noise disturbance. The texts were constant and unfounded and very disruptive to our stay. I assume that the noise disturbance was set off by the very loud AC unit and the trash shot that’s right outside the door. After exhausting back and forth communication through several numbers regarding this, I was given no solution And the texts continued the entire stay. The unit had no ventilation and no fan in the bathroom and had a musty smell. It was very outdated, especially the bathroom. Beds were worn and uncomfortable with poor quality linens. Towels and paper products were also sparse and of low quality. The balcony was great with a beautiful view.

I loved the location right on the beach. The property was clean and well maintained with some minor things that need attention due to normal wear and tear. Perfect arrangement to access the property. Everything was emailed prior to our arrival including access codes. Very easy and convenient check in and check out. The condo has many great features and provided all we needed to make our trip excellent. Thank you.

It was ok

Overall was a nice but could have been cleaned better. Found crumbs in the bed sheets. Refrigerator had left over food crumbs all inside. Internet didn't work. I tried to reset it. Would have been nice to know there was no extra linen for the pull out sofa.
