Overall this is a good property. But we did find a few things that were frustrating.
Pros-
Great location! Just north of Belmont park so it’s quiet, but a very short walk to food and activities. It’s also very close to the beach! I wasn’t sure from looking at the map, but really, it’s like a 30-60 second walk to the beach.
All beds were comfortable and unit was well stocked and decorated beautifully. The only thing we wished we had was ziploc bags in the kitchen. But there was extra toilet paper, garbage bags, dishwasher soap and laundry soap.
Cons-
The biggest con was host communication. This unit is hosted by Vacasa and they were not responsive through VRBO. I sent them several messages (5 days prior to arrival, day of arrival and a few days after arrival) and they did not respond to any of those. I had to finally call the Vacasa number to get any help. I feel like if they list through VRBO then they should be able to manage their listings through there as well.
Parking. I feel like this was misleading in the listing. They give the dimension of the walkway you are supposed to park in, but I didn’t know the dimensions of the car we would be given by the rental agency. We had a mini van and had to back it in (which was challenging to say the least given the tiny alley), pull the mirrors in and climb out the back hatch because it was too tight to get out any door. If you had a compact car you would be ok. There isn’t any street parking available in the area due to the population congestion so this was very frustrating.
Ants. We did have ants on the kitchen counters, bathrooms and a few even made their way into the beds. If I could have gotten a hold of the host, I would have requested some ant traps. I do realize this is common near the beach.
Overall, this is a good, clean place in a great location!
