Couch is uncomfortable, does not have a closet, the cable in bedroom only works 1/4 of the time, and despite the listing saying they had a heated pool OPEN on the property was wrong. The renovations are still going on and will be for a long time. The resort once renovations are complete might be nice, but the room itself was not satisfying.
The view is spectacular, best view I have had on the beach. The room is spacious for 2 but no more than that. The rollout bed/couch is very dated and uncomfortable. The bed has the middle post broke underneath so it keep sounding like it was going to break. The only big problem was all but 1 light bulb worked in each bathroom and only 1 person can be on WIFI or everything shuts down.
The views from the 18th floor were amazing!
Other than some noise during the day, the construction was not an issue. We were able to get around the property easily. We enjoyed the view of the beach which included dolphins and stingrays.
Everything was stocked and had what we needed! Great view of the ocean.
Our first impression walking into Room 1809 was the strong smell of mold, which immediately set a negative tone for the stay. The building is under renovation, so the elevators were cluttered with construction equipment and had an unpleasant odor as well. The room itself was poorly maintained: • The king bed was broken and sagged toward the middle, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. • There was a paint bucket left in the bathroom, which felt careless. • A mirror was hanging loosely on the electrical box cover with a wire. • The trim around the unit had visible holes, dirt, and damage. • The floors were covered in sand, and we had to spend time cleaning right after we arrived. On top of all this, there was a water outage one morning, which meant we couldn’t even get ready and had to leave the property early that day. Our last impression was clear: we would not rent through Vacasa again. For future visits, we’d prefer to book directly with an owner-operator who takes better care of their property and guest experience.
