Will stay again
We have stayed here several times and always enjoy our stay. The condo has everything we need and is in a great location. It's just a few steps to the beach. Many restaurants are within walking distance. The\\
Pictures were very accurate. A very short walk to the beach. Everything was clean and ready for us. Plenty of towels. We had a nice, short stay.

Great location but filthy
The location of this property was great. However unless you’re comfortable sacrificing cleanliness or good air quality for location, I’d highly recommend staying elsewhere. The amount of dust had my well controlled asthma acting up and that’s rare. Hard to say nice things other than the location

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Good location. Dated property
We decided to go on a last minute quick weekend trip to the beach. It was a lovely family weekend. We had loads of fun but wished we stayed at a different location. We go to ocean city yearly minus during the pandemic. We decided to stay here because of the good reviews we saw. I normally don’t leave reviews but this place definitely needed an honest one. This location was the worst for our family. We would not stay at this location again.
Pros:
*The cleaning crew does a good job of keeping the property clean.
*Short walk to the beach which is good for families with grandparents and young kids.
*Good location away from the boardwalk for quite relaxation. But close enough to drive to the boardwalk for the evenings.
*Cute beach house decor.
Cons:
*Everything was extremely outdated except the bar stools which seemed to be the only new additions to the property.
*The shower was by far the worst part of the property. You could have a cold shower or a extremely low pressure hot shower. Forget trying to get a lukewarm decent pressure shower. The water hose outside of the property was better.
*The beds were terrible to sleep on.
*The couch was old and worn down.
*The kitchen wasn’t well equipped at all. Keep in mind we don’t cook much but need simple things to make sandwiches for the beach and instant coffee. The knifes to make sandwiches with were old dull and even chipped.
*We even lost power and all we used was the a/c on a medium setting, tv, and microwave.
Had a great stay. It was nicer than I expected. I think the photo's need to be updated as the photo's posted was not what we walked into. It was updated very nice and was very clean. Was a very convenient location and very close to the beach. Will stay again.

Great beach access
Barely a block off the beach
Walking distance to secrets
This place was ideal for a weekend getaway. The condo is definitely homey. If you are looking for clean and modern, this is not the place. However, for our purposes it was just fine.
We had a rough start upon checking in. We found dried up blood on the ladder in the bunk room. There were stains on the comforter and mold around the AC unit in the master bedroom. I made a call to the property manager and shortly afterwards someone came in and cleaned up the dried up blood. They also gave me a replacement blanket for the comforter. The location was far from the boardwalk but still close enough to other restaurants and things to do. The beach was right at the end of the block. Overall we still had a nice few days away.

Rough Start but Still Had a Good Time
When we first checked in, my kids went into the bunk bedroom. There was blood on the ladder of the bunk beds. I went u to the master bedroom and there was a stain on the comforter. I called Vacasa. They sent someone out with a new blanket and to clean the blood, but the blood is something that should not have been missed. The beds were very comfortable. Liked the fact that there were beach chairs and an umbrella left for our use. Parking spot could have been bigger, we had a neighbor that had a bigger truck so it overlapped into our space, but we made do. Even with the rough start, we still had a good time.
reasonable price/close to beach but basic accommodations
This in a great location (for me who had to work at the convention center a few days) and close to the beach. Very reasonable price for what it is. A few strange things like a washer, but no dryer and the check out instructions say to put the dishes in the dishwasher, but there is no dishwasher....and the fact that you had to fumble with an old lock box to get the keys in/out every time you had to leave the home (per the instructions).
I really expected so much more. Where to start? As a family we have vacationed in OC many times. We have never had to leave a rental due to cleanliness. Immediately upon entering, we regretted this pick. The carpet was the absolute worse with some very questionable things litered all over. Food substances caked around edges of door. Not just recent stains but things that accumulated for years. The sides of the fridge were marked up with all kinds of gunk and scratches. Not just a quick cosmetic wipe. The towel rod in the bathroom was cracked. The vents on the AC had caked on dust etc. Not just a quick wipe but looks as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. I also got stuck in the bathroom because the doorknob wouldn't catch a grip and kept spinning. Thankfully, my daughter was able to open it from the other side. We immediately contacted host (which at this point I have spoken to 5 different reps for this company), and sent photos. And a very few hours later told them that we were going somewhere else. We haven't had luck hearing from the local property manager yet and it's been 5 days. I wish I would have looked up the main property management name in Google to see the reviews there. We did not feel comfortable being there. I really don't understand the positive reviews on here. We are not extremely picky people. Expected a clean place though to feel comfortable for a couple nights. I've never felt like at any other place in OC.
