Fall Vacation

Very well kept unit. The condo was very clean when we arrived with nothing unexpected. Wonderful views of the beach, ocean, and pool area with plenty of activities to do within the unit while still being within reasonable driving distance of dining and activities. Will definitely look into staying at this unit for future vacations.

Beautiful, well stocked condo in the beach.

This condo was at a great location, beautiful quiet beach, and 2 large pools. We were there with our family and had the max number of people for the unit and would have been slightly more confortable with less people. The trundle beds were not very usable because the drawers couldn't be pulled out more than half way. I wouldn't suggest more than 4 adults and 6 kids with the sleeping arrangements. The rooms were nice and clean and there were 3 full bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. And there was closet of board games which our kids enjoyed. Overall, we really enjoyed!

Overall a great place to stay despite a broken washing machine.

We loved the location and the condo overall. The kids loved the zero-depth pool. We were all disappointed in how items were not kept up with or monitored in a timely fashion for other guests to use as the washing machine had likely been broken for a long time before we attempted to use it.

Blu 305

Condo was great. We had 2 families with 4 members each. Plenty of room, and very comfortable. Kitchen was nice with plenty of dishes. I would say if I had to pick thing that wasn’t great, it would be the pots and pans. They are dated, and not enough pots. Overall this is a great condo with plenty of space with one of the best views you can have. Would return to Blu 305.

Wonderful condo on the beach!

This is the second year in a row we've stayed in this unit. It is great! So well appointed with comfortable furniture, beds etc. The view is unmatched. Nice touches by the owner with great additional appliances (ie Keurig and Nespresso; blenders etc). Vacasa very responsive with minor situations, Would not hesitate to stay again!

Needs some maintenance & a good cleaning.

We have stayed in several Blu condos & have been very satisfied. As always the view & the beach were absolutely spectacular. This particular unit just needs a thorough cleaning. There was a lot of dust build up on dining room lights, around bed frames & food particles trapped on the back of bar stools. The kitchen trash can needs replaced as the lid is rusty & filthy. Bedroom lamps & barstools are also looking old as rust has formed. The back bathroom sink was so clogged that my friend had to get a toothpick in order to pull out a trapped ball of nasty hair. Mantenence was called regarding a clogged toilet in the master bathroom but it wasn't fixed until the following afternoon. Outlets in the master bath weren't working & the toilet paper holder fell off in the jack & jill bathroom. This was the first unit I've stayed where there weren't any dish cloths only towels. And no laundry soap. I hate to be too negative as it is a lovely unit. However, since it's not an inexpensive stay, i believe standards should be higher.

Great location and lots of space

This is one of the newest condo complexes on the beach so it is updated and great amenities. It’s also very large and could accommodate a lot of people. Right in the beach and 2 pools. The management is accommodating and quick to respond. The floors and area rugs were dirty. The floors had definitely not been mopped prior to our arrival in any of the rooms. The pots and pans were very worn out. That said I would stay here again I would just mop the floors.

Vacay!

Great location and access to the beach. We loved this stay because the layout of the home, location and access to the beach, but as guests we had to buy A LOT of supplies to make the kitchen functional. The house also didn’t supply beach towels or chairs so we had to buy our own.

Family Fall Break

The location and views were great. Enjoyed the beach and pool. The property managers were responsive and helpful. The one time we attempted to use the outdoor grill it did not work. You should advise renters to bring their own sharp knives for food prep and indicate the size for coffee maker filters as we had standard filters and they did not work. We would go back.

Great place for family

This unit is a great place for our family to gather. The beach is so close and the pool is nice also. It’s a quiet property with nice beach access. Blu 305 has good views from the balcony and is very comfortable for all.

Less than expected for the cost

We were very happy with Vacasa. Booking, check-in and customer service were all good. Blue Condo 305, not so much. Kitchen is ill equipped. We love to cook in on vacation and it was difficult with the lack of pots and pans and other general kitchen utensils. No large pot for pasta or a seafood boil. A single kitchen mitt does not suffice. The pantry right off of the kitchen was jammed full of beach toys and other items. Much sand in the closet. We had to relocate the items to another closet. The closet in the master bedroom was full of the owner's property. Not much space for us. Toilet seat was broken in one of the bathrooms, as well as a note taped over one of the switches advising us not to use. Not what I expected for the rate we paid for the unit. The condo building and area are nice with two pools and two outdoor grills for usage. In summary, I would not have rented this unit if I had known of the deficiencies at booking time.

Beautiful condo

Beautiful condo. Perfect for our family of 5, but definitely big enough to accommodate more people!! Fully stocked kitchen, other than a crockpot and measuring cup, which we bought and left. Winter time the balcony was perfect for sunrise and sunsets. Got to watch the Air Force practice a few times. Close to the “strip” of FUN! Pool was perfect for kids! Would stay there again and would highly recommend to others! I love that it was a gated parking lot, and gated from the beach area too!!!
