Great Location - Unit Needs Work

We really like the location of the Carousel, the view from the 16th floor is spectacular both on the ocean side and the bay side, the indoor and outdoor pools were very nice as was the whirlpool. The outdoor bar and seating was a lot of fun. The off season pricing was reasonable.

The mirrors were not clean in the living room. The front door was broke, which they fixed it quickly but not accurately. Their was a huge tv in the closet, in which they later took out. The closet doors in the master bedroom was broke. I understand things happen but they put the new ones in the other bedroom closet and they didn't have access to the closet. They removed them while we were their. No forks for 6 people, no pot holders either. I also understand people steal this stuff all the time. The building is old so we couldn;t run a toaster and a coffee machine at the same time for it tripped the breaker.

Very Dirty!

This condo was completely filthy and disgusting! There was dried pee on the bathroom Floor, the couch and chair cushions had stains all over them, the patio furniture has never been cleaned and the cushions are ripped. It was very disappointing! Visitors pay so much money and should have a CLEAN place to stay!

Reviews are pretty accurate

The earlier reviews are pretty accurate. The home is outdated, furniture is stained, the laundry door is missing a hinge, and there are limited spoons for some reason (lol). It seems like there are small things like new bedding, small fixes to broken things, and furniture covers could make an aesthetic difference, but that probably accounts for a lower price. On the other hand, the views are beautiful and the location is great. The Carousel has nice amenities and entertainment options that we used. Unfortunately, our biggest complaints are that two of the amenities didn't really work. The DVD player was broken and the internet barely worked. The unit uses the internet for the resort and so the signal was terrible when we were in the room. We would use Vacasa again and would stay at The Carousel, but not this unit.

Out of date condo with cleanliness issues. Great property though.

We booked this condo thinking it was in great shape but we were wrong. The condo is outdated and not at all well maintained. Twenty minutes prior to check in (after driving 5 hours) we get a call telling us we will have no linens for our stay due to a linen shortage. The beds are hard and my back hurt from just one night. We took pictures and went to the property company. We were promised a full refund but only received a partial refund. I honestly would not recommend this property until it has had the updates we as paying travelers deserve.

Come for the view, but bring extra sheets and cleaning products

This room had the most amazing views ever. Unfortunately, it really does stop there. I read the reviews saying the room is dated. I can handle dated. I can't handle furniture so filthy you can't sit on it without covering it with sheets. It's obvious no one really cares about this place - I'm not sure who owns it, but they clearly NEVER stay in it. I will give kudos to Vacasa for being responsive to all the issues. However, when we left, the screen door to the ocean balcony was still off and laying on the balcony, the microwave cover was still off and laying (filthy) on top of the refrigerator and I very unfortunately had to spend two of my three days asking to have someone fix the air conditioning. Overall a disappointing experience.

Trouble from the beginning

When we arrived we were given keys to another condo that was occupied. After 45 mins of getting it straight and obtaining the correct keys we finally make it to our condo only to find it absolutely disgusting. Human poop on the toilet seat...floors were flithy...trash under beds....hair on bed linens. I could continue this list of cleaning issues. We contacted the Mgr who did come to clean the bathroom and bring clean linens. But nothing else was cleaned. Once it was time to go to bed we had an outlet in the double bedroom blow out taking out the electric in that bedroom and the kitchen as well....sent a message the Mgr and heard back in the morning and a service man did come to repair it. The Mgr did say we would receive some sort of refund but nothing as of yet. The rest of the resort was fantastic. The location can't be beat.... Sadly though we won't rebook at this site....

Carousel

When you first walk in appears clean. Upon walking on floors your feet turn black, my son woke up with a bed bug crawling on him in the room with twin beds so he moved to couch and qould not sleep in the bed again. Dont blame him at all. I was sitting on master toilet to pee and the door to the washer room fell on my toe. Black and blue toenail will probably fall off. When my husband looked here u dont have a pin in the bottom of the door just hanging on there. We teied to make toast and toaster didnt work either. Just overall was not pleased for the money. Wouldnt recommend. The facilities was great.

Quick getaway

We enjoyed this location, it was very convenient with the kids and getting around. Staff was wonderful at carosel, all the amenties are perfect. We barely left the resort. Many activities for the kids. This condo has a beautiful view, my favorite part for sure. Would return but updates are needed, definitely made it work for our short stay!

Fun weekend getaway

The pros: We really enjoyed the ocean view and sitting out on the balcony. My kids enjoyed the resort amenities. The beach was nice and clean. It was very afordable and worth the money. They gave us a started pack of 2 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels and extra trash back sponge and little dish soap to start. It all lasted the weekend. The cons: the condo needs a deep cleaning. Furniture needs shampooed. I had to sleep next to a fake tree with dust fur growth all over it. Many of the dishes were dirty and needed rewashed before use. Refrigerator shelves are broken and have cracks but it works good. Walls are dirty/ scuffed up and need new paint.beds are uncomfortable with pressure points and could use replacing. The first night I was chilly and grabbed a spare blanket from the master bedroom closet that when opened looked like it had unwashed red blood all over it. I was horrified and tossed that back in the closet and quickly washed my hands. I saw another older review that complained about the lack of spoons which is still a problem. Only 1 teaspoon in the kitchen. The other spoons were the larger size that people don't eat with. We were washing and taking turns with our 1 spoon lol. I was almost tempted to go buy some for the condo. Such a dumb cheap item not to have.

Functional but Disappointing

We Love the Carousel and Vacasa is always great to work with. This unit was functional but a little disappointing. We booked based on pictures from the sight and chose it because it had carpet. We got there and floors had been updated. No matter how much we swept sand was impossible to get off the floor. They were pretty sandy the day we arrived. Only a see through blue shower curtain in one bathroom and both toilet seats need replaced as they have marks from the lid closing on it. Things that on their own are not a huge deal but collectively give the appearance of not caring. Several outlets did not hold plugs, light bulbs burnt out or on their way and a pin is missing from the hinge on the laundry room door. We did enjoy our stay and will be back to the Carousel again, just maybe not this unit.

End of summer stay

The place was grungy, chairs broken, missing hinges, broken patio items, generally outdated furniture and accommodations. A good paint job would have helped. We could not make any adjustments to the AC making us use multiple circular fans to stay somewhat comfortable. Lights were flickering off and on. We bought shower curtains/liners and bathroom rugs because the ones onsite were filthy. The worst experience we have had at OC and with any VRBO or Vacasa vacation. Totally disappointed! Will not becoming back and now I question these vacation websites as to their quality requirements.

This condo was overpriced, and not fit to be rented. Upon arrival it was not cleaned and all the prior renters linens were piled inside, they sat outside our door for our entire stay. The AC was bad, furniture stained, kitchen walls cover in grease and splattered food, microwave falls apart when you open the door, just to name a few. Multiple calls and texts to Vacasa got me 2 people with a broom and a Walmart bag to "clean" after we were there. Still waiting to hear from Vacasa on a partial refund for overpriced disaster.
