We arived later in the evening. Stopped by the office the next morning. Talked to a person regarding the temperature in the room. It had gone down to 65 degrees the first night. The beds only have a sheet and thin covering so it was rather uncomfortable sleeping. She said we weren't able to adjust the heat. I asked if they could provide some extra blankets. She said she would, took down the room number. That never happened but the next night the temperature did go up to 70 so it was better for sleeping. I paid for a parking pass which we never used because when we arrived at the airport, they didn't have a vehicle available. I asked in the office if I could get refund. She said she couldn't do it but would check on it. Never heard anything.

This condo needs some serious TLC. Cleaning crew must have been in a hurry this time. We found a sheet that appeared to have blood on it rolled up in the couch bed. There were no bars to use the shelves in the refrigerator door. Kitchen was BARELY stocked. There appears to be a mold stain on the ceiling in the living room. There were no extra blankets. However the lady managing it did check in and correct what could be corrected quickly. Props to her, but I would not stay here again.

Great location! Walking distance to all the places you want to be. Could use some updating and bare minimum supplies in the kitchen. We would definitely stay again based on location and pricing!

Best Beach Trip

Balcony with a view, spacious condo and the beach was right outside the building! Shopping, entertainment, drinks and food within walking distance! This was the best beach trip for 3 couples, from 57 to 72yrs.

RENTERS BEWARE

From the pictures on the website this would appear to be a very nice property. What you will step I to is not like the pictures. The house is very poorly maintained and the cleaning staff was not the best. There is black mold in the closet in the bedroom with the en suite. That is an extreme hazard and this unit should not be allowed to be rented out until that is taken care of. There are plenty of wonderful accommodations in the area stay away from this unit !!!!!

Nice space!

Access to the beach was easy and a Walmart was close for little things we forgot. We could see beach and bay from the balcony. Plenty of seating, towels and pillows, and the kitchen was fairly well stocked. But lighting in the living room and bedrooms was terrible and whole unit needed painting to cover up previous water damage and wall repairs.

Terrible experience.

Was assured by Vrbo parking for 2 vehicles was included with this rental, only one vehicle was allowed when we arrived. Had to park 2nd vehicle 3 blocks away. Had no internet or Wi-Fi entire time we were there. Water leak in the ceiling burned up the router. Internet company wouldn’t fix it until the water leak was repaired. Internet tech lied to me, told me he would get us password for adjacent units Wi-Fi but never heard from him again. Water damage repair man had 5 fans and a dehumidifier going in the unit. You ever tried watching tv with that much racket going? Impossible! Couldn’t use the pool last morning we were there. Sign says it opens at 7:00 am but it was locked. Complained about it, they sent someone to unlock it and he said we couldn’t use it until he cleaned it. We pointed to the sign, he just shrugged his shoulders and said wasn’t nothing he could do about it. This is the typical attitude of everyone associated with this place. They just don’t give a damn! I will not use Vrbo or Vacasa again and I will never stay at Island Winds East/West again. Just an overall terrible place to stay and terrible people to deal with.

Not terrible.

Overall we were pretty happy with the spot. My biggest gripes would be communication with Vacasa. I sent at least 2 messages and never got a response. Location is great and close to lots of awesome restaurants and fun places like The Hangout. Maybe a 6-7 minute walk.
