Overall okay experience.
Pros: interior of condo as described and accurate photos, great proximity to beach and easy walking distance to many restaurants, shops, etc.
Cons: pool in the shade all day, hot tub only fits 3 people, building very dated and in need of repairs, elevator very sketchy, pool and elevator permits expired (on display in building but expired in 2020), parking garage inaccessible for low-clearance cars. A big reason we booked this condo is the reserved parking spot. When we arrived at the condo with our rental car we were pretty shocked to see how steep the grade (incline) down into the garage was, our car bottomed out and started to scrape along the bottom between the front and rear wheels before we aborted mission of parking there. We contacted VACASA for help/an alternative and were basically told “sorry try for street parking” which was extremely limited. We ended up having to return our rental car early and pay to Uber places. Also we were never told the code for the front door of the building or given a lockbox number at check-in. Thankfully another guest let us in and we were able to get the building key from our unit, but check-in details could have been better. Also, there were homeless people yelling at each other outside our window in the middle of the night and sleeping on the grass in front of the building.
I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs and have never left a negative review. This place just left a lot to be desired for the cost.
