We rented this through VRBO for 10 nights. We were informed by a resident upon arrival that they would be ripping down the seawall. Next morning we woke up to jackhammering. We expressed our frustration to Vacasa. They said they would move us to a different property (not oceanfront which is specifically why we booked this place) or we could stay for free on jackhammer days. It continued all day from Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
For the next seven days, there was construction noises (circular saws, pumps, hammers, etc) all day everyday including the weekend.
After going back and forth with multiple Vacasa people for a week, we FINALLY got what we were told (well they say it's processing, we'll see). Prior we were told that it's not their fault they didn't know. As a property management company, I strongly disagree. It's not my job to know what's going on at the property and if we'd know what we would experience, we never would have booked the place. We thought it was going to be jack hammering that would be it. We didn't realize it was going to continue for the next week. Then we didn't realize we'd have to fight so hard to get back what we were told at the beginning.
We paid a lot of money to stay there. We are really disappointed and frustrated with our stay. Not only was the construction an issue but so was trying to find the key upon arrival, all the drinking water being gone and having to immediately go get a new bottle, and the ants that are all over the kitchen.
