Read the reviews, they’re accurate.
What did we love about it? The view. That’s about it.
We’d made our reservation when the most recent review from a stay in November appeared. Little late for us. I reached out to Vacasa asking if everything had been fixed since the previous renters review and was assured it had all been taken care of…
When we arrived the unit smelled heavily of the previous renters cooking. Pretty heavy fried food smells, like a fast food restaurant. We started putting our belongings on the kitchen counter and quickly found it to be covered with sand.
Every single ceiling vent has some sort of black “fungus” growing over the vent and in some rooms onto the ceiling.
Sofas and table chairs are stained.
One of the twin beds was still broken and resulting in sleeping at an angle.
The toilet in the front bathroom didn’t work. Water had been turned off, when we turned the water back on it just kept filling, no flushing.
Disposal didn’t work.
Every baseboard looks like they haven’t been cleaned in years.
Every lampshade, towel rod, picture and even the walls are layered in dust.
All ceiling lights fixtures show signs of rust.
Doors were dirty.
We were not provided with a WiFi password until the following day. A minor inconvenience in the big scheme of things, thankfully we had good cell reception.
I did have text messages with someone that evening and they did send out a cleaning crew the following morning. But even those nice ladies admitted the cleaning that needed to be done inside the unit was beyond them. They did what they could, which was basically wiping the vents with a wet rag. A maintenance guy came out to fix the toilet, but it still wasn’t working right.
Vacasa has since apologized via text for the “frustration and inconvenience” caused. We’re back home with congestion and coughing, can’t imagine why.
We have stayed at many vacation spots along the SC coast, renting through VRBO and various rental companies…we have never stayed at property so poorly represented in a listing.
Renter beware.
