Pros:
- Furnishings (beds, chairs, couches) comfortable & kitchen well-equipped.
- Location w/canal behind & view of golf course provided alligator, deer & bird sightings.
- Easy check-in/-out & communication was prompt.
Cons:
- We were waiting at 4pm to enter, but cleaning staff did not leave until about 4:10. Originally gave 5 stars for cleanliness, but later found trash, toys & opened Pringles can under couch/bed.
- One BR & the back porch area in this condo seem to have been add-ons to the original unit, since both areas had separate AC units in addition to the central air that cooled the main areas. Those units are older, noisy & the one in the BR gave out mid-stay. Maintenance tried to fix, but finally determined that it needed to be replaced, which didn't happen before we left. Vacasa did compensate us for this.
- All throw & area rugs need to be replaced, especially the 2 round ones in the bathrooms - old, dirty & stained.
- Sliding screen doors to decks need to be replaced or fixed so that they slide properly. Maintenance tried to fix, but they were still difficult to open/close.
You should know if you rent:
- Walk to beach could be 5 min. if you walk quickly & don't have little ones or anything to pull/carry. Otherwise, it's closer to 10 min. There are 2 ways to get there, one through the Mariott resort lots & delivery areas; the other to Islander Beach Park through the neighborhood. Use the gate by the parking area which puts you right out on the street & you don't have to walk through the condo complex.
Bottom Line:
Could be a great choice if needed updates/repairs are addressed.
