    The condo itself was out of date the furniture. We were told we had reserved parking and couldn't find it. They need to work on the electrical in the unit. There were quite a few plugs that didn't work. Is the exhaust fan in the master bathroom didn't work. And we could get the TV to work in the bedroom either. And they could either change the blinds or get black out curtains in the bedroom.

    Liked the location and the beach. The convenience of shopping and restaurants.

    The unit needs support bars in showers, bathrooms, and a handicap ramp to the beach.

    The view was amazing! Absolutely gorgeous! Granddaughter loved the pool and bunkbeds! It was comfortable, homey, and clean. We watched dolphins play in the mornings! 🐬

    This is a caution for all future tenants who wish to stay at this property. I do not speak for every condo, only the one I can give my personal experience about. We reserved Gulf Dunes W #513 months in advance. We arrived late to find many issues, both inconvenient and dangerous. We were greatly inconvenienced by the main deck sliding door broken and unusable. All guests had to access the deck through the master bedroom only. The master bath had a severely clogged drain. We could not take a simple shower without stopping to let the water drain. The outdoor chairs on the deck were broken and stacked in separate places. The worst and most dangerous issue was the presence of mold throughout the unit. Within 2 hours of our late arrival all these complaints were reported to Vacasa and forwarded to the local personnel. Unfortunately, we were told it’s Sunday and no one was available to address our complaint. Early Monday I expected immediate action. We paid well over $5000 for a week rental. But first, I had to send photos of “proof” for these issues. I sent the photos and requested another unit. We were offered a condo overlooking a parking lot and another 15 miles away with no beachfront and without any compensation or assistance in transferring luggage, food, beach supplies for 2 families or for missing what is now our 2nd day of a beach vacation. Maintenance finally arrived late Monday to repair the clogged drain. The broken outdoor chairs were replaced. The sliding patio door, however, could not be repaired for lack of parts. So all guests (2 families with children) had to use the private master bedroom patio door. Here is where my biggest complaint begins…after the incomplete maintenance check of our unit, we were told the mold issue throughout the entire unit was our own fault because we turned the temperature (at the thermostat) down by 3 degrees. Thus, creating mold climbing out of the vents, up and down the walls.

    1st of all the big room is right by the elevator with the window that we've had a Mini bind destroyed that people could see right in the room all you heard was elevator ringing Had no privacy it was like he was right there with everybody coming up down the elevator.. The toilet ran all night it was supposed to be a 2 bedroom and it wasn't they put bunk beds in the wall in a hallway and it called it a 2 bedroom. I had a smoke detector go off all night one night so another night when they sleep. Then another morning woke up to somebody with a drill drill in the heck out of something loud and disturbing the hurt your ears so bad Then another morning woke up to somebody with a drill drill in the heck out of something loud and disturbing the hurt your ears so bad.. So the bid the capital was not at all you was right there by elevator elevator elevator ringing night.. The furniture in it was very old and rough.. The bathroom toilet was laced had tiles that was laced in the bathroom.. Condo needs a title overhaul because it is not a very nice one to stay in especially by elevator toilet running smack alarms going off people drill and waking up early morning it was no comfort at all.. You know if you're gonna put somebody in the room right by a elevator please sake put a window blind up that works how about a window that keeps the light all night out of your eyes.. I would a much rather have a more for a different room on the view on the ocean that didn't have so many problems the floors was absolutely filthy when I got there no broom don't even brush up saying it was just a very not pleasant

    As with most of the gulf hotels and condos we’ve stayed in, the pool was somewhat small. But wasn’t too busy most of the time so it wasn’t a problem.

    Great location, very nice room with plenty of space. Beautiful gulf view and super friendly staff.
