This was our first time staying at this property and it was perfect for what we needed! The booking process was simple; the mgmt company Vacasa sent us conf email with stay instructions instantly although when we tried to message them back with some pre-arrival questions, they never responded which was disappointing. Be extra careful with the address! There's a 6th St N and S and this property is located on 6th St S. The check-in/arrival process was seamless Vacasa will send an email 2 days prior to arrival with everything you need including entry access and WiFi codes.
Cleanliness: Place initially appeared to be tidy and clean but upon closer look, we realized it was merely a quick turnaround minimum surface cleaning at best. We found caked up dust on fans, baseboards, doors, etc. and large stains on the comforter in one of the bedrooms, just to name a few. The grill looked like it had not been cleaned in months (caked up grease on the bottom and grease trap/tray was completely full) - we kept getting grease fires whenever we tried to use it.
Maintenance: The back exterior door to the pool would not close properly. It had an annoyingly loud alarm each time you open/close, making it a nuisance rather than an effective security measure. The closet door in one of the bedrooms upstairs had a broken knob and almost all of the door hinges needed to be greased as they all squeak badly. Futon needs a new mattress; bathrooms could use better lighting - no vanity lights at all; kitchen lacked some essentials. Truthfully, we were quite surprised by the amount of things that needed attention, especially for a place that's fairly new. We did share our concerns with Vacasa but once again, we never heard back.
Recommendations: Description and photos should be updated to reflect current offerings. For example, the place now includes a huge dining room table for 8 which is great but it no longer offers a patio table for al fresco dining on the deck. Place could use a foosball and/or ping pong table and a larger TV in the living room for added bonus.
Overall we loved our stay; fantastic location (5min walk to the beach and shopping); the 2nd fridge was a huge plus for us and we loved all the pool/beach toys, etc. that were provided. The place offered a comfortable stay for our party of 12 and all the negatives certainly did not detract from the fun we had!
We sincerely hope improvements will be made and we look forward to coming back again soon!
