Beachfront villa w/ access to shared pool, beach, or golf, & w/shared gas grill

Was a nice property in a gated community. Short walk to beach and large swimming pool. Quiet area. Property was clean and well taken care of.

As advertised

The unit was very nice and cozy. Very clean and tidy. Nice view of the pool from the private balcony. It was an easy walk to the beautiful pool and to the beach as well.We had issues with the 10-digit entry code because it was very finicky with timing and cadence. Extremely frustrating. Then the lock from the inside was not working so we were constantly worried someone with the code might be able to get in. The icemaker didn't work. Then the outside rinse stations didn't work either. But we did have a wonderful time in spite of the inconveniences.

Everything but the check in process was good.

Our stay was significantly impacted by the poor service and lack of responsiveness from the management company when we experienced issues. On day 2 of our trip, the washing machine leaked water all over. I contacted their support line and was told someone would be sent out ASAP. I had to follow up multiple times via text, only to receive generic responses with no updates. Eventually, a tech arrived and informed us a part needed to be ordered. I asked to expedite the repair, as a functioning washer was essential for our family of four. Despite continued follow-ups, we received no meaningful assistance. We had to use all towels to clean up the water and repeatedly asked for fresh ones, which were finally delivered the next day. In the meantime, we spent a significant part of our vacation hand-washing clothes and driving 35 minutes to a laundromat—something I wouldn’t expect to deal with at this price point. To make matters worse, water continued leaking for 2 days, even though I notified the management company multiple times. The washer was ultimately replaced—on the last day of our stay, making the fix useless at that point. They offered a 20/day reimbursement, which I have yet to receive. The time, effort, and frustration spent trying to resolve these issues were unacceptable. I have many screenshots of text correspondence, plus numerous phone calls. Due to poor communication, delayed response, and lack of support, I can only give this stay 1 star.

No problems with checkin. Clean condo in a quiet location. The island can get crowded and traffic backs up at times during peak season. A little overpriced for a week rental in my opinion but enjoyed the stay for somewhere different.

Nice spot!

Location was excellent.

This is our second stay in this unit. Shipwatch is a great location (the reason for the three stars) but this unit is in desperate need of a few upgrades. Kitchen counter was broken off over dishwasher, couch needs replaced, some rust on the bathroom fixtures, to name a few.

Nice, basic unit looking out over the water. It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Vacasa is completely automated and does not respond to small requests. Luckily we did not have anything major that we needed, just a few small broken items like lightbulbs, batteries and the toaster.

The location is great and everything worked perfectly. The only drawback was the master bed was uncomfortable and lopsided; made for restless nights.
