Deeply disappointing stay/terrible customer service

What was meant to be a meaningful, celebratory weekend for our family turned into a series of frustrations that left us feeling ignored, disrespected, and thoroughly disheartened. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone, especially not when there are far better-run hotels and Airbnbs in the area that care about their guests’ experience.1. Inflexible and Unaccommodating Staff:We had requested an early check-in, as our daughters were flying in from opposite coasts for a rare and precious family reunion to celebrate both my husband’s and my daughter’s boyfriends’ birthdays. Given that we were also required to check out four hours earlier than usual, we hoped for even the smallest gesture of flexibility. Instead, we were met with robotic, unsympathetic rigidity. No effort was made to work with us or even acknowledge the nature of our request. It felt cold, impersonal, and frankly out of touch with the spirit of hospitality.2. Misleading Listing – No Central Air Conditioning:The listing does not mention that the home lacks central air conditioning. In a region known for warm weather, this is a basic amenity guests reasonably expect, especially when the price point suggests a level of comfort and convenience that simply wasn’t delivered.3. Power Outage – Zero Support or Contingency Plan: This was by far the most disappointing vacation rental experience we’ve encountered—and we travel often.

Short distance to ocean!

This had great location. Amenities in the house were limited (ie pans, cups/glasses, conditioner). Was disappointed with having to pay for laundry which was in the garage. Also, the garage was very tight especially when sharing with other unit.

Beach Condo

Overall the condo was a good place to lay your head and is very close to the beach which was nice. However, the cleanliness of the place was something left to be desired. Check-in was good except one thing, it wasn't stated which condo was which. The units are one on top of the other and the condos themselves are not numbered. There was an issue with the dishwasher, however when I contacted the company, they were very helpful and very responsive. Overall, it was a good place.

Cozy beach house close to the beach and restaurants

Close to the beach, nice updated place with separate entrance in the master bedroom. The queen size mattress bows in the middle and we almost ran out of toilet paper.

Lovely family spot

This beach house is cute, clean, and spacious. We espacially appreciated the easy access to the beach. However, it is hot as hellfire, especailly at night when were were trying to sleep. Fans were proivided but we bought more.

Great week with family!

Beautiful location, close to the sand. Be prepared. When we booked it listed with air conditioning but upon arrival AC was not working and when texted for help we were told the unit does NOT have AC. Great home away from home though!

Property was disappointing

This property needs a good cleaning and needs some maintenance. It's a nice location and we enjoyed the area but the property was only superficially clean and there are a number of maintenance items that need attention, such as towel hooks that are coming off the doors to light assemblies that are coming apart to refrigerator water filter that needs to be replaced. We also had to unplug the dishwasher and disposal drain as they were plugged up and not draining when we arrived at the property. The house was also very hot and it was hard to get it to cool off even with all windows and doors open and every available fan running.

The location was great, having no A/C was a little tough in the middle of the day, but luckily the ocean was right there for a quick plunge.

Great location!

The home was great! Location was spectacular! We had some difficulty with the code to enter but a Vacasa rep was there and very helpful. We also had a challenge with the downstairs guests parking too far over but Vacasa handled that right away. As mentioned in other reviews, the queen bed slopes to the middle so with two people, it would not have been comfortable. Fortunately only one person was in the room. The kitchen had what we needed, the beach is steps away, the house was clean and there were extra fans in each of the bedrooms to keep it cool. There were enough towels including beach towels. Would stay again.

Good location, decent amenities.

We were pleased with the bedrooms and size of the home. There could have been more kitchen and bath towels, more blankets, a larger cooking pan, lighter or matches for bday candles, and change for the washer and dryer. We also noticed the heater does not work in the back master bedroom. A key to the front door or latch when closing the door would have been much easier than remembering a long key code. The beach toys were great for kids.

So close to the beach!

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything you need and just steps from the bay side of Newport Beach. The beach seemed less busy and much less windy than south of the Pier. Coffee shop and liquor store 3-5 minute walk. Would highly recommended and would stay again. My only critiques are, the queen bed is very soft and sunk bad in the middle even for a small person, and the garage parking is shared and incredibly tight. We had a small suv and the other had a van and we were 12 inches from eachother and did get a scratch. A full sized suv would not fit in my opinion.
