Overall Beautiful Condo and location!

Beautiful views and quiet location - there were 5 of us and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. The only thing you should know is there aren't many trash bags or toilet paper provided - so bring extra!

Nice condo

Enjoyed our stay. Had issues with getting enough hot water for showers. Sliding glass doors for bedroom with balcony didn’t lock. Also that same bedroom’s ensuite shower didn’t drain properly.

Not bad

We had a good stay. The condo needs a deep cleaning and some updating. The property is an older property. The view was outstanding. We had a few maintenance issues but Vacasa came and took care of them.

Great view; not uninhabitable

Great view. Quiet end of PCB. We were there in Spring Break and the beach crowd was not unbearable. Kids enjoyed the pool area. Beach and Pool area was clean. Note there are no beach chairs provided- bring your own or rent. The Property Manager needs to get a better cleaning crew. Thick dust on vents, light fixtures and Knick knacks. Stained living room furniture. Dirty silverware and silverware drawer was dirty. Long black hairs on towels and linen. I communicated this with them on arrival and hoped someone would come do some deeper cleaning but that never happened. I did not enjoy cleaning on arrival after a long drive. The condo in general needs deep cleaned and needs updates but was not uninhabitable. The bedrooms are nice sizes and there was plenty of room for our party of 6 to spread out and not feel on top of one another.

Nice enough…

Liked being on the beach and the big balcony. The cleaning wasn’t up to par when we arrived. I received a message asking how the place was, when I responded they said they couldn’t do anything about it because we checked in at 3PM and not 4PM, and they didn’t do the final inspection. They told us we could check in because it was cleaned and ready to go. There was dust everywhere, used bandaids on the balcony and one of the bathrooms. The ceiling fans and air vents were covered in dust. The garbage disposal didn’t work and there was ZERO wifi. There was blood stains on one of the sheets (thank goodness I brought my own sheets). It needed a really, really good deep clean. More than just in between tenants. We had 5 adults in this condo and all felt very cramped. If you have a better option on the beach, I suggest taking it instead of staying here. We also didn’t like that the gates between the beach and the pool were left open day and night so anyone could come and go as they pleased.

Beautiful view of ocean and the beach line going west on Thomas Drive was amazing, too. We guessed we could see more than 10 miles. Nice area of the beach. Large balcony to take it all in.

Location is great, very quiet on this end of the beach. Wish the pool had more lounge chairs around it and there should be free beach chairs and umbrella on the beach with this rental, I had to rent them. Beautiful view from balcony.

Nice clean condo and property. Beds were comfortable and unit was well equipped. Pool was clean and well heated. One small or big issue depending on what you came for…the WI-FI is not good so if you plan on staying in contact with work or the outside world it is a 50/50 bet. If that is addressed, put it on your short list.

Perfect for our blended family of 6

View of the ocean was breathtaking. It could have been a little cleaner. But…I’m a total clean freak..ceiling fans, under kitchen cabinets, toilet seat cracked…but overall a very comfortable stay. Felt very homey. The kids loved it.

Very nice, roomy condo. It was well cleaned and ready upon check in at 4:00 pm. The beds were comfortable and the patio is amazingly big. The only complaint I would have is not being able to access the patio from the king master bedroom due to the large TV armoire.
