Great Owner!

We were on vacation in St Augustine when Hurricane Helene hit in WNC. We are from Hendersonville, NC. We had to change condos and then realized we needed to extend our stay. We had a hard time getting anyone at VACASA to help us. We contacted the owner. Explain the situation. He was on it immediately and adjusted our fees. We received a call from the property manager and everything was taken care of. We will definitely be back and thank you ** for all of your help!

Nice place

The condo was very nice and accurate to the listing. The only recommendation is to update the shower heads in the bathrooms. It was difficult to even be able to wash your hair in the showers.

Great place + Great Location

We were very happy with the accommodations. The cleaning crew did an excellent job. You could tell they took their time and really paid attention to details. There were even live plants in the apartment! The dishes/cook wear was updated. The master bedroom bed was very comfy. The walk to the beach was close by and the community pool was cleaned daily. The only complaint would be that the storm door was difficult to open. The handle needs to possibly be replaced and the tracks greased. We would stay here again!

Okay but we won’t rent here again

I was super disappointed when I received text messages at 8:30pm Saturday evening (our 2nd night) from the management agency stating that they received a noise complaint. Warning me that parties were strictly prohibited. My family (husband, 2 teen & 1 adult child, my elderly mother & myself) was playing a card game and laughing together, as families often do on vacation. I received a total of 3 messages within 5 minutes about a noise complaint. I called the management company and voiced my displeasure that my family could not play a card game at 8:30pm on a Saturday evening. The person that I spoke with had no details other than someone said we were too loud. We put the game away and did not utter a laugh for the remainder of our stay. The description says it is ocean view. It is not. The swimming pools in this complex close a 8:30pm. The automatic door lock does not work until the exact check in time, not one second before. The unit was small and was a bit close quarters for 6 people. The unit was clean and had abundant paper products. The cookware & utensils need to be replaced. Complex has “security guards” that ride around on golf carts all day & night while sometimes exhibiting less than professional behavior. We booked at a discounted rate and got what we paid for. I would not have been remotely happy if we would have paid normal price. Overall, I was disappointed and would not return.

Overall very nice

Emailed manager 3 days before we were to arrive and still no response and we left today. There arw haur dryers and beach towels, just a fyi. I called because no one answered rhe wmail and was told no to both items only to dind there was no reason to pack either. Beach towels take up a lot od space in your luggage when flying to not even need them. The key card is needed for the pool, the beach access and the front gate to get into the complex, would have been nice to know. The place was clean and in a very convenient spot to the pool and beach.

Spotless Property, Close to Beach

We loved this property. It was clean and well kept, and a very short walk to the beach. There are many restaurants and conveniences within a short drive. Check in was a little bit of a hassle, as I was given the wrong code to get into our gated community. We eventually sorted it out. Also, the kitchen knives were quite dull and hard to work with. Otherwise, we loved everything about this rental.

Florida :Holiday in the sun!

We stayed in R26 in Ocean Village at Butler beach St Augustine for 8 nights Location excellent close to pool and access to fantastic beach. Apartment was clean on arrival and facilities were very good We initially had a frustrating start in trying to get into the condo The door security instructions were vague The ten digit entry code did not repeatedly work even when we asked someone else staying close by.We then found the lock key (no instructions)and used the four digit code and found the door keys .The lock was very difficult to operate and defied attempts to unlock the door until we worked out the technique .Over complicated !!We informed Vacasa of this problem and our real concern about the vertical blinds on the patio window being insecure No response other than to acknowledge the e-mail Two days before we vacated , the oven door handle fell off and it was clear that a previous attempt had been made to repair the handle but this had clearly failed.We contacted the Vacasa assistant by e mail but had no response .The promise of 24/7 support claimed on the Vacasa webpage was non existent.. All things considered we would probably stay at Ocean village again due to its location

Very nice place!! Beautiful beach

The condo was exactly as described. Very comfortable and the amenities nice as well. The pool & beach were a short walk. We used the charcoal grill next to pool amd it did the job just fine. The only downside was the building across the grounds was being repaired. There was some construction noise but didn't wake us. It made the view from the balcony a little unpleasant. The pool closed at dusk so there wasn't anything to do after dark. The beach was beautiful with very nice sand, not crowded at all. Overall, it was a present experience and I would stay again if we're in the area.

Not again

The beds were very uncomfortable. The couch slants downward. The dehumidifier was loud and had to be emptied every two days or it alarms. Washer/ dryer was loud. Cable service was ridiculous! It cut out every minute or two. In the welcome guide they ask you to call AT&T and report the issue. Well I didn’t know the account number and I am not the account owner. So that was a waste of time calling. I was not left a parking pass in the unit and received a parking violation by the property manager. Also a truck caught on fire in the parking lot and quite a mess was left. Once the truck was hauled away, cones were placed by the property management and the burned mess was left there all week. I won’t return.
