Recent Forest Beach guest reviews

This corner unit offers ocean and sky views that will take your breath away. Sunrise over the ocean and sunset colors provide twice daily spectacular events.
Robert and Mary Lee O. | Mar 2026
The condo itself was great. Super location, clean, close to restaurants and shopping, easy access to the beach, and great ocean views from the living room. Be wary of off season rentals though. Two of the last 3 years we have run into issues at Shorewood in February. 3 years ago we rented a unit on the 4th floor only to find out upon arrival that the elevator was being repaired. Vacasa never said a word to us. We found out when we pulled into the parking lot. This year the beach was being replenished which meant 2 days of the constant rumble of bulldozers when they moved forward and the beep, beep, beep as they backed up. It would have been tolerable except for the fact that they worked 24 hours per day! Again, no notification from Vacasa just another vacation surprise. We love Shorewood but it would be nice if Vacasa would advise customers in advance when major disruptions are going to occur.

Loved everything about the house- all of it! Weekend was great and will rent from Vacasa HHI again!
