The location was perfect! We were able to see the sun rise and set from our balcony. Plenty of space for everyone.

Great place!
Great place for family vacation. The house was really cute and clean. When we arrived there was some issue with smoke detectors but it was fixed within 15 minutes of us reporting it to the staff. Great location- a walk away from the beach! We really enjoyed our stay there. We will be returning in the future.
I like the property as it was walking distance to the beach. They had many amenities to stay comfortably. My children love the place and plan on staying at the same place in the future.

Nice property but with several issues
The home has good proximity to the beach, is well-lit, including lots of natural light, and fits a large family like ours (a rare find).
Worked great for our family of 8. The condo had all that was stated in the listing, the pool is heated (not a lot, but just enough), and having a walk to the beach without having to contend with traffic was wonderful. Interacted with Vacasa about a missing item in the condo, and they worked out a solution quickly. Wonderful place to stay.

Great location but lots of stairs
Super great location!
Very few pots and pans.
Stove took a long time to boil water and oven was not as hot as dial indicated. Things took much longer to cook.
Unit has a LOT of stairs, we got our cardio workout.
Great location!!!!

Beach trip 2024
Walking distance to the beach so didn’t have to get a parking permit for the beach parking. The pool with the condo was nice the kids really enjoyed it. Especially the 2 year old in the shallow end. The 5 year old managed to lock the bedroom door and we couldn’t unlock it. Management people were quick to respond and get it unlocked. Overall it was a great vacation. Weather wasn’t the best but nobody can do anything about that.
This is probably the best location on the island we have stayed. Very short walk to the beach. Overall, we had a very nice experience. I would recommend leaving a garage door opener as it would be so much more convenient parking the golf cart/can-am vehicle. We had to enter the front door each time and walk up and down the stairs to enter the garage to open each time. Also the towel rack in one of the upstairs bathrooms is loosely installed and fell apart everytime a towel was placed or removed from the rack. The TVs were somewhat confusing to operate so we just used the wifi to connect to our personal devices. Overall, great stay and we would come again. Thank you.

Business Retreat
We booked this location and this home for a small business retreat. It was great to have a place for everyone to stay and meet. The island never disappoints.
Condo is large and spacious with lots of balconies and views. Super quick walk to the beach. Garage was a plus. Our family had a great time...close to everything on the island.

Close to the beach
But beware, the floors were filthy. The shower curtain rod fell as we were about to check out. The washer smelled. The ice maker was broken. You pay for proximity to the beach, not the amenities.

Very clean , beds comfy , really enjoyed place , problems closing, &opening door on living room to balcony , the handle came off , so we kept putting it back , one of the screw felt off , but we couldn’t find , needs to be screw back , couldn’t leave wrist bands for pool , bc we never got bands to return them back , but no problem had a grea time & enjoy our stayed .
We had a great experience. 11 in our group and we were very pleased. The location was great and close to a very nice beach area. Within good distance of shops and stores. It is a lot of stairs as expected but if worked out fine for our group. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for one of our party with disabilities, which made it very nice. Communication with property management was excellent. We had minor issue with access code, but within a couple minutes and a quick phone call it was resolved. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Overall it was a great experience and suited our needs perfectly. I would highly recommend it.

Check in door issue
Checking in, the code to the door was incorrect, had to call the help line, who also did not have the correct door codes either. When local service called me back the procedure for entry was completely different from what was listed. Other than that problem, the unit was great. Stairs get a bit much by end of the weekend, but still enjoyed the stay.
We booked this property, but got bait and switched to another property. We drove by the complex and saw that the whole property was under construction and they still have a long way to go. They should not have put this property up for booking. We had a choice to pick another property offered through Vacasa or cancel the whole thing. This was several weeks before the planned vacation date. We had taken time off and were ready to go. In the “windward drive”property we picked, there were ants in the living room. My husband just got bit several times, sitting on the couch. That night the kids told me there were ants in their bedrooms also. The area rug is very dirty with black smears everywhere. Something was left under the master bedroom and very dusty. Every dishes and utensils were dirty. It was hot upstairs. The furnitures were dirty and on their last legs. There were no soap, shampoos or conditioner in the master bedroom and upstairs. There were no batteries in the carbon monoxide detector. Not a lot of accommodations. One good thing, there were plenty of beach towels. It was not a memorable stay.

Good location, not so good of a house and host
It’s a great location and makes going to the beach so much easier. There were however some shortcomings that some of it was really serious:
Don’t expect any sort of support while you are staying here.. you are on your own! We had the smoke alarms go off (due to what we latter learned was humidity) and were trying to reach out for support. After calling the main line and talking to someone, the manager was supposed to come by, but never showed up. Thanks god we had a neighbor help us!
Water pressure was really low in the bathrooms and made some guests really uncomfortable.
The washer/dryer system was faulty and made cuts through some of the clothings!
Complimentary accommodations were low quality and minimal (for 3-4 people staying 2-3 days max)
To be fair and objective, we enjoyed our stay, but not because of the house; it was all about the location.
I have been renting and staying with various hosts (mostly through AirBB) and this one has been the worst experience.
If you are renting the place for the location, you are wining, but don’t expect much when it comes to today’s norm of hospitality.
This property is all about tricks. You are paying for 4 walls, a roof, and distance to the beach. Everything else is a nightmare. The house has a terrible smell throughout, the ground floor has a great amount of black mold throughout the entire bathroom. All of the TVs turn on, but that’s about it and if you try to watch something you will be happier to just turn it back off. The dishwasher falls apart as you try to use it, the freezer barley can open and the ice maker is good to make air but not ice. Most of the pictures of the kitchen area online are a dream, what you actually get is totally different. Leading up to the 3rd floor you walk over stairs that are falling apart and create a lovely trip hazard. You find 3 bedrooms on the top floor and 2 bathrooms. Getting water pressure that’s another question and hope. Beds were semi comfy, but beware of the ants and other critters that can find their way in. The patio door in the primary bedroom is nearly rusted shut and all patio furniture looks like it was used in a crime scene. Going to use the washer and dryer, well good luck as it’s really a mystery if it washes your clothes let alone dry them.
If you want a house really close to the beach, this one works. If you want an enjoyable stay, I’d look else where. Yes this place will keep you dry from the elements outside but you may catch something inside.
The water pressure in the master was very low. The convertible sofas were extremely uncomfortable. Not enough plates, or glasses for the quantity of the house. Not enough seating for the the quantity. This was our second time reserving this house and am very disappointed at some of the issues, but loved the location.
The house first of all was not very clean and the skillets were in horrible shape no large bowls
We had one small bar of soap for each upstairs bathroom and the half bath had none and none in the kitchen
All doors going out to decks were very hard to open
The middle bathroom upstairs would not drain and I had to pull a large amounts of hair out the drain so it would drain
The house for the price is not at all well equipped if you want to cook your meals
Also the request that the tenants start a load of towels before they leave is concerning because how to you know the are cleaned properly
I have rented many homes from VBRO and none have been like this one
It needs work
