We loved the space and the location
5.0
The house was really lovely! I rented the space for a few days for a chill girl's trip and it was perfect. The couches were comfortable for movie watching, the kitchen was spacious for group cooking, the space was spacious so we all had enough space and didn't feel cramped. Would definitely return!
4.0
House is in a great location for access to the beach. Easy walk in a couple different ways. House fit our group perfectly and we enjoyed the weekend.
5.0
We loved the location of the property, walking distance to the beach. The home was comfortable and spacious.
5.0
Nice place. Clean, bright, and close to beach. The entry code they gave us did not work on the front door. Called Vacasa and they gave me a lockbox code to a physical key. The physical key did not work either. Luckily the entry code worked on the garage door. Had to use it to get in and out the whole time.
If they replace the front door lock with one that worked it would be a great place to stay.
Nice, clean, great location.
5.0
Great location, able to walk to the beach. Family had next door unit so it worked well for a large family gathering. Loved the fire pit and comfy couches around it outside. Well equipped unit. Our group had 3 out of 4 of the units and we loved being able to go back and forth.
1.0
First, never-ever rent a Vacasa-managed property.
Second, don't waste your time or money on this one - it's one frustration after another and you get the privilege (for $850/night) of talking to a Vacasa rep in INDIA.
Pictures make it look light, airy & spacious - big stretch.
Sleeps 8 - so you'd think they'd have more than 4 Dollar-store forks in the kitchen? Or maybe 8 decent coffee mugs? Or perhaps a full set of glassware?...matching is clearly too much to ask. Oh, expect no more than salt & pepper in the cabinets.
Cleanliness - it was ok on the surface, except a) sand in the hot tub (it's only cleaned 1x/week, so too bad if you check in and get the last guest's mess), and then there was a weird smell upstairs. Took a few days, but finally traced it to the thick ring of black mildew on the inside of the front-loader washer.
Linens-wise - expect the striped-down bare minimum. Not a single extra blanket, not a throw-blanket on the couch. No extra pillows.
No extras (chairs, etc.) for the beach.
And then there's the internet - infuriating. Turns out they have rigged 4 units together to share one connection - CHEAP - so there's not enough band-width to run TVs without glitching every 5 min (don't plan on working). And it cuts out periodically, then permanently and needs to be reset by the property manager. Vacasa's brilliant answer on the phone had the guests digging up the modems and cables and trouble-shooting the system. SERIOUSLY?
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
4.0
Location for us (family of 4 w/adult children) was awesome. Easy walk down to quieter beach, quiet at night for sleeping, no through traffic, access to the beach path, etc. Loved the location a lot.
Place has nice space spread out through 3 floors and nice, useable outdoor space. Hot tub was big and there was a table out there to eat outside and lounge space around the fire pit.
While there our propane tank died and the door/lock to the garage broke so you couldn’t go in/out of garage. The management folks were reasonably responsive and got the fire pit working / extra propane in so no issues there.
Only feedback is that the place could use a refresh as some elements are feeling a bit worn. Carpets in the master, broken screen door leading outside, and just some overall wear and tear. Kitchen supplies were a bit lighter than usual but had enough. Also would love more comfortable chairs in the dining area but that may just be our preference.
Net-net it was a very good stay and I’d return/recommend. I value quiet and location highly and not overly fussed with the opportunity areas
2.0
Master shower would not drain and could not be used. Notified manager. Sent guy unannounced with Draino but no effect. Said if it didnt work they would get a plumber. Never heard from them again and had only the one shower that functioned the entire time. Numerous other small issues that were frustrating like TV downstairs has large dark spot, making it unusable for movies or video games. Downstairs chair only has 3 legs. Hot tub was full of sand the day we arrived. Outdoor tables were dirty and I sent photos to manager. No response to that.

Property was outstanding as advertised! We loved it and would stay there again!
2.0
Garage mostly fits 1 car. We didn’t use the extra but there was a wagon , chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. Furniture in the house was strange. Only one couch in the living room with random chair. The hot tub was nice. Limited cooking supplies. One small frying pan, stuff like that. In the master the curtain is not private. Would be nice to have a black out curtain so changing is not awkward.
The basement has a pull out bed but there is no bathroom down there and the stairs are steep and treacherous so using the bathroom on me main floor can be interesting depending on the age of person sleeping down there
Only suggestions as the price point for the amount of guests was good and the private outside area and hot tub were really appreciated
5.0
Great location, just 2 minutes from the beach. Updated, comfortable and well-equipped. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
5.0
I reserved this for my family of 4 Andy bestie and her kiddo. Thoroughly impressed with our experience. The property was clean, comfortable and big enough for everyone to have their space and spread out.
4.0
This was a perfect stay for my trip! The home was clean and well-maintained. The patio was great for relaxing. Having parking was great as well. House could use a few more cooking pans and bring your suitcase through the front door, as the spiral stairs from garage were a bit difficult. Downstairs family room is a great place to get away or watch a movie! So much space and beach nearby.
5.0
Fantastic location very short walk to beach. Spacious and clean with all the amenities would need. Easy access to highway for visiting other parts of Southern California. Quiet. Was a great space for family vacation
4.0
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this condo near the beach. Overall the condo is clean and well-equipped. However, the carpet in the primary bedroom was terribly stained and should probably be replaced.
5.0
Everything was great. The only issue we had was very slow WIFI/internet.

Getaway
We needed a place where our family could stay. We chose this condo for its close proximity to the beach and because we had a 5 month old and the condo allowed us to keep him on his sleep schedule and let the adults enjoy time away

Galina from IL
Great location: quiet and save neighborhood. Short and pleasant walk to the ocean. Must have a car. Luxurious apartment is upscale, elegant and huge ( 3 levels! ), clean, well lit; bedrums are spacious, with the ocean view from the window of 1 bedroom and from the balcony of the master bedroom. Very comfortable beds and beddings. Big closets with hangers and shelves. Washer and Dryer are next to all 3 bedrooms. Complementary detergent! Bring or buy your own softener. There is heater in the apartment.
Huge space downstairs. Great island in the kitchen. Brand new appliances. Huge kitchen sink. There is a filtered cold water faucet on the left wall inside of refrigerator, which I did not notice at first. Large shaded, totally private patio with fire pit, couch, armchairs, jacuzzi, dining table adds comfort to the guests.
I have only 2 recommendations to the management:
1. to replace the old dining chairs with collapsed sagging seats to the new chairs. We put the coach cushions on each chair to sit comfortable at the table. 2. Have an electrical teapot. We boiled water in a pot.
We were very happy with our stay. Thank you.

Great spot and quiet location
Walk to the ocean and beautiful beach trail. Neighborhood was quiet and the parking was a plus! Only downside is that the Wi-Fi was spotty at best and cell service was intermittent there as well. We worked around it and wasn’t a deal breaker, just annoying.
5.0
A great space in an amazing neighborhood
the 2-car garage is very helpful. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen is a great design. Could use a few more cooking items. The Patio is amazing. Hot tub was very nice to have. Proximity to Califia Beach is walkable, although the more premiere Family style beach is over at San Clemente, which is a short 7-minute drive away. Great freeway access. WiFi wasn't as strong as one might hope for, and it's needed since Cell coverage is a big spotty. Neighbors were nice, and the neighborhood is amazing.
5.0
Neat and tidy
We enjoyed this neat and tidy condo close to the beach. Super comfortable and convenient. Would definitely return.
