Everyone was so kind, the people around us, on the beach, and especially the grounds manager. The gated entrance made us feel extra secure. The walk to the beach is simple from anywhere on the grounds; we liked not driving to the beach. The pool, was clean and well maintained. We felt comfortable and at home. So why do I say you get what you pay for, well the place was clean and well decorated, but there are items that would’ve made the experience a bit better. The toaster didn't work, and they never brought in a new one. There was a salt and pepper shaker, but both were empty. We purchased prefilled salt and pepper shakers at the store and left them for the next guests. There were no coffee filters. We called, they explained that's something they don't provide which is fine, but it said fully equipped kitchen in the description? We assumed that included these small items. It would have been nice to have a broom and dustpan. The coffee maker was filthy, we had to clean it to use it. The living room furniture was uncomfortable, the sofa was worn out. There were damages we felt obligated to notify management about so didn't get charged for them. The wifi was bad to the point that we couldn't watch TV without constant buffering. There are a lot of stairs. If you struggle with stairs this is not for you. I know this sounds picky, but I want to offer a fully honest review. We loved our stay and would stay here again.

Location is good, walk from the unit to the beach. Near the pool, but pool has no lights on at night. Felt clean but kitchen could use better amenities. Beds just so-so. They are memory foam but on the firm side. Overall a cute, clean place.

Great location right by the pool with a short walk to the beach. The condo was super clean and had all the basic amenities we needed. Beach chairs and sand toys were a nice bonus. FYI there are two sets of steep stairs, one to enter the condo and one the go up to the bedrooms. Definitely not the best layout for small children or adults with mobility issues.

Not sure if it is a function of Vacasa and no on-site manager, but no one let us know that the beach at Sandcastle was closed for restoration. This was a major feature in our selection of the condo and extremely disappointing that we did not have beach access. We have two small children and had anticipated a relaxing vacation where we could walk to the beach, but instead we had to drive to other (very nice) beaches on the island. On the plus side, the condo is very clean and welcoming and the pool is lovely and very well taken care of.

Beautiful condo! The location was perfect and the pools were amazing (and warm!). Only down side was the bunk beds in the second bedroom, not practical for sleeping more than two people, the top bunk was squeaky, disturbing bottom bunk sleepers, and the trundle mattress was very uncomfortable. But the pros definitely outweighed the bunk beds, a great stay!
