The condo was perfect for me and my family. The views of the ocean were amazing. I highly recommend it. I would mention in the add for the condo had beach chairs and some laundry detergent and dishwashing soap and detergent. Those items were very helpful for our stay.

The convenience of location. The condo was perfect as far as size, and the decor was simply amazing!
ROGER L.Oct 2021
place was great for a family of five (two adults, teenager, two kids), location of condo is great, location on second floor is perfect, swimming pools were nice, right on the beach, i like the place only issue is cockroaches in master bath, but that might be expected with beachfront properties

I liked that we had three bathrooms and bedrooms! The kitchen was large and had plenty of used fry pans. (I really think that some should be thrown away). We couldn’t help but see dirt on several walls and ceilings from the air vents. Needs to be throughly cleaned and filters changed I would think. The outside metal furniture was rusted to the point of crumbling off the furniture.
Noeli L.Sep 2021
Spacious, organized and pretty, we six enjoyed our own suites and plenty of space. We were second floor and a close walk to the shore. Easy to call for any maintenance and good parking near our door.
Pamela P.Sep 2021
We loved the view and the color of the condo. The balcony furniture was very nice. The carpet in bedrooms filthy. Closet doors in two of the bedrooms broke of track. The furnishings in the den were worn and showed dirt. The bedding in one bedroom has spots on it. This condo was not professionally cleaned.
Manager response:
Hi, Pamela! We are scheduling a deep clean that will include a carpet cleaning, the closet doors are back on track, and we have suggested updated furnishings to the homeowner. Thank you so much for helping us improve. We hope to host you again!

We rented the condo not knowing Ida was going to hit. We made the most of our time.
Jennifer K.Aug 2021
Lots of room and very convenient to pool, beach and shopping.
Suzanne D.Aug 2021
The view was spectacular, and the condos were very clean with the exception of every ceiling vent in every room was filthy and black, including the bathrooms. Air quality is of the utmost importance.
Manager response:
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We will be sure to pass your suggestions along to our local manager who will work with our homeowner to make necessary upgrades. We look forward to hosting you again!
Beth Y.Jun 2021
We loved the condo and it was plenty big for 3 couples. There were some minor things that could use improvement but overall it was a nice place.
Ann S.Mar 2021
Furniture is worn to the point of holes in couch. Spreads on beds seemed dirty so I just put them in the closet for our entire stay. It’s a very nice unit but furniture and decorations need replacement. Beds were great.
Manager response:
Thank you for your feedback, Ann. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay despite finding the bedding and decorations not satisfactory. We have made the local staff aware of your feedback and want to thank you for bringing these items to our attention and allowing us to improve for our future guests. We look forward to hosting you again very soon.
Edgar N.Jan 2021
We loved this condo. Very spacious and excellent layout. Loved being able to park less than 20 feet from the entrance of the condo, and being able to go to the pool and or beach with one flight of stairs. The Vacasa folks provided fantastic customer service. They called regularly to make sure we were not having any problems with the condo, and they even brought us a box of Christmas cookies that my kids loved. Fantastic experience. Two thumbs up.
Carmen C.Jan 2021
This was one of the best condos we have ever stayed. We stayed over Christmas and New Years ....condo was spacious, complex amenities were awesome, and weather mostly cooperated. Love the 2nd floor - parking was wonderful. Only steps to beach.
Gena E.Nov 2020
Very happy with the location and the views. We had a handicapped parking space in our front door. This was wonderful for 5 older ladies with bad knees and backs. Loved the layout of the condo, it just needs to be updated. The colors are all really beachy but furniture needs new covers. Beds are comfortable and we had plenty of cooking equipment
Manager response:
Hi Gena, thank you for your feedback about the home. We hope to host you again soon.
Meredith M.Nov 2020
The colors and the interior. The patio balcony and it’s steps from the ocean
Phyllis D.Jul 2020
The layout was perfect and very spacious. The balcony was perfect except one chair was broken and stuck in corner. I would suggest it’s time to change the rug in living area as it very stained. The master bath has a big brown stain on the baseboard. I just thought for the price it would be in tip top condition.
Manager response:
Hi, Phyllis! We appreciate your review and are sorry to read you were not fully satisfied with the state of your accommodations. The broken chair has been removed, housekeeping will address any cleanliness oversights, and we will discuss the area rug with the owner during their next visit. Thank you!
Roxanne C.Jul 2020

This was our first time at The Lighthouse Unit 204. The unit is spacious, decorated so cute and has amazing views!
The building has amazing amenities and is right on the beach. This was our first vacation in two years. Since my husband's stroke and it was a great place to stay!
Lana H.Jul 2020
We had an issue with an item in the condo and when I called I was on hold for 40 minutes and they said someone would call me back right away but they didn’t. They did resolved the issue the next day. Otherwise everything was fine.
Manager response:
Thank you for staying with us! We are sorry that you had difficulty reaching our team and we offer our sincere apologies for the frustrations this has caused. Please know that we are experiencing a higher than normal call and email volume at this time. This is resulting in longer than normal wait times for our guests, and agents are working very hard to assist callers quickly and efficiently. We hope to have the chance to impress you in the future!
Robert K.Jun 2020
Loved the proximity to the parking lot, stairs, elevator, and everything else. Very spacious and comfy for 6 people!
Sarah D.May 2020
This condo was perfect. We had plenty of room and it was very nice to have the elevator and stair right next to our room. Parking was very close to the room as well. The bright colors of the bedrooms gave the most perfect beach vibes. The beach was not a far walk. The pool options were great as well. Traveling with younger children can be tough but the zero entry pool kept them entertained when we weren’t at the beach. I will definitely be booking this room again :)
Ron H.Oct 2019
Condo unit was clean and well decorated. Weather was perfect. Attractions and restaurants fantastic !
Jan M.Aug 2019
Not enough chairs on patio for 4 people. One of the chairs was totally broken, so we had one love seat to sit on. Had to bring our beach chairs so we could chat. No instructions how to turn TV on and off. Had to go to parking lot to use our phones. Zero cell service.
Manager response:
We're very sorry for the inconvenience during your stay. This issue occurred under a previous management company. Our local teams are working with that company to learn from feedback and fix any issues. We just started managing this unit and would love for you to try staying with Vacasa in the future to experience our world class service.

There were a couple minor issues with the condo (which were reported to the office early in our stay) but they were never resolved .

Jim H.Jul 2018
Overall, very nice facility. Just a couple minor things. Had to call for the internet password. One of the TV's was missing a smart card for the dish. Again, not big deals as we did not use them much, but, still an inconvenience to have to make calls to address.
