Short stay

Had a 3 night stay between Christmas and New Years and everything was great. The only negative was the number of restaurants within walking distance that were closed during this time but there were many great places to eat.

First Beach Trip

What a perfect experience all around!! We brought our 1yo and 3yo to the beach for the first time and this place was great!! The condo was clean, comfortable, great location, good amenities and easy to find. It’s located on the 18th of 19 floors and at the very end of the hall. Perfect! We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Condo

Arrived at Lighthouse condos and checked in at the second floor office. We have stayed at the Lighthouse several times and always has been a very easy check in process. Very nice lady made the process easy easy. Opened the door of the condo and was very surprised with how beautiful the condo was decorated. True beach decor!! Loved the whole condo and did enjoy the huge shower in main bath. This condo is high enough to see a lot of dolphins and sharks. We had a blue moon while we were there and it was truly beautiful. The only negative thing with the condo was the stove and microwave needed to be updated. We stayed seven nights and would definitely book this condo again.

Highly Recommend!

Beautiful Property, exactly like the pictures shown! Very clean. Beautiful view. Property staff, very friendly and helpful. Living room couch in desperate need of replacement. One corner of sectional completely broken down. Dish washer was a little tricky, broken inside door, but still operable. Nevertheless, we highly recommend and will be back!

No king sheets for king beds

All was pretty good except we had 2 king beds and only one set of king sheets. All other sheets DID NOT fit the beds, and there was no where near enough wash rags and towels for 6 bathers!

Two weeks on the beach

Great location. Condo was very comfortable and two king beds is great. Overall pretty clean upon arrival. Had two issues that required calling Vacasa. Very poor response. Broken deck chair reported day 2. Finally picked up for repair on our last day (13). Big leak from garbage disposal. Reported but they could not address before we checked out. Building security came to verify the leak but only reported what we had already. We’ll go back again but not through Vacasa

Smelly BAD

We have stayed at lighthouse several times... always had a good experience with our condos... unfortunately this one was a bust! It smelled horrible in this unit... strongest in the master and master bathroom. Smelled likes a mix of cigarette/cigar smoke and body odor. We tried everything... cleaning crew came twice, I used carpet deodorizer, scent plug-ins and candles... nothing helped. Not sure what the deal was but I would NOT suggest staying here unless it's fixed! Side note, Kaiser property management was kind and helpful as best they could be. They didn't have a place to move us but I feel they would have if it was available... they tried their best to accommodate, but this was just not resolvable.

Very comfortable, clean condo in great location!

The condo was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and had all we needed for an enjoyable stay. However, our last night there turned into a nightmare. The latch on the balcony sliding door was loose and latched shut while we were all on the balcony. Vacasa customer service were NO help! I called to report our dilemma to them at 10:30 p.m. and were told their maintenance man would be available to help us at 9:00 a.m., to call a locksmith or the fire dept. no locksmiths were open. The fire dept would not come. Fortunately, Lighthouse security/maintenance were vigilant and determined to not allow the 4 of us in our mid 60’s to spend the night on the balcony. After multiple attempts and with the assistance of the local police dept. we were “rescued” at 2:00 a.m. I notified Vacasa again at that time and expressed my disappointment with their lack of interest in our situation. A report was to be made and I was to be contacted the next day about possible compensation for our inconvenience. I never heard back from them and won’t be staying at any of their properties again!

Not impressed

Furniture in bedrooms was awful, one bedroom the dresser drawers had no tracks nor the night stands. The other bedroom the bed sounded like it was going to fall to the ground every time you move. The microwave looked like the inside might have caught fire at once or twice in its life. The dishwasher sounded like a airplane taking off when it started. The dryer had to have maintenance when we got there, cause it was not heating up. One bedroom also had the mirror closet doors, that were falling off the track the moment you opened them. Then to top it off, Fourth of July there was a alarm to evacuate building for fire safety an we didn't eve hear it from inside the condo at all, we found out from a friend who was downstairs BBQ'n if they would not have called to tell us we would have been in serious trouble if it were a real fire. Huge safety issue in my book, especially when you're on the 18th floor with more kids than you can pack down stairs.

We loved this unit! It was clean and beautiful. The balcony was so nice. We didn’t use the fold out couch so I can’t comment on that. The guest shower was leaking but the owner let us know and offered to fix it but we advised to wait until we left. It was fine. We had 4 adults and 1 child and had plenty of room. The pools and beach access were wonderful. Close to great restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again!

Shabby, dirty, nice decor to distract you

Walking in the condo had a strong, mildew, musky odor. The top of the fridge (its a short fridge), shelves in the bathroom, decorative bottles on the wall are very dusty. Exhaust fan in the bathroom is filthy and there is black and gray dust on the surrounding ceiling and upper part of the bathroom door. Dirty hand prints on the primary bathroom door. The sink in the hall bath is not attached to the vanity, it's propped up with 2 pieces of wood! The whole sink shifts and wobbles because it's not attached to anything. Pillows on the primary bed are flat and hard as a rock, you can't fluff them, they just fold. Primary bed is hard and a very cheap mattress, pull up the sheets and look for yourself. This was mentioned in previous reviews as well. As mentioned by a guest review from August 2021 (one year ago!) The fridge door seal needs to be replaced. It is not attached to the door and the door doesn't close and seal unless you really push on it. Don't count on small-medium kids closing it adequately so your food doesn't spoil. The unit's HVAC is terrible. Also mentioned by other guests in previous reviews. None of the rooms get cool, but the bunk room had almost no air flow and there is not a fan. The decor is as depicted in the photos. We love this condo complex (vrbo rules don't allow reviews to include the name /unit) and have stayed here 3x however I do NOT recommend this particular unit. Also of note, but not taken into consideration of my review, the unit above us experienced a problem with their in unit hottub. We were making supper and water began running out of the smoke detector, recessed light and emergency speaker in the ceiling. My husband ran upstairs to speak with the occupants of that unit while I reported the issue to Vacasa. The on-site maintaince responded promptly and confirmed the hot tub issue was the source. The occupant of the unit on the floor above us showed us a photo he took of standing water behind the access panel of the hot tub. There was an electrical outlet (not GFI) laying face up in the water. Thankfully the leak into our unit prompted the occupants to remove the children from.the hot tub.

Needs DEEP cleaning!

When we arrived condo was almost exactly as described in listing! Adorable decor! The balcny was amazing! We were so excited to have arrived! Noticed immediately the room that was to have 2 twin bunks is not actually twins. Our 17 year was able to squeeze in lower bunk tho so she could have privacy. A few things we began to notice: Old food caked in lid of garbage can Half drank water bottle left on night stand Dust caked on base boards Mold spots on ceiling in master bath 1 Lamp didn’t work in master Then when we pulled out pull out couch before bed and there were Cheerios and what appears to be dried up food or vomit on mattress pad!!! I let property management know through text and follow up call! They agreed this was completely unacceptable and they would contact me in the morning as to plan. My son ended up just sleeping on couch as we put pull out away. No one should have to sleep on that. I got some blankets out of master closet that appeared to be dirty or stained. Pillows also appears to be heavily stained. They never contacted me again but while down at beach the next day someone came in and appeared to attempt to clean garbage can and left pile of sheets on kitchen counter. I made it clear on prev phone call I should not have to change bedding and someone should take care of that for us which property manager agreed to but did not happen. The pull out bed was untouched and we obviously were expected to change bedding which we did not. My adult son ended up sleeping on couch the rest of the week. Overall the condo was a great location just extremely disappointed in cleanliness and follow up to concerns! To pay the money we paid to stay there for a week, dirty condo and bedding and lack of follow up was completely acceptable!!!
