Vacasa cancelled our reservation out of the blue. And we got the notification the day before we were to leave! They said it was because the area of Florida we were staying in wasn’t opened yet ...but it was. After I informed her of that she said she would reinstate our original reservation. But at 10 pm that night I got another email stating they couldn’t Bc they had resold our room!!!so I waited for hours on hold to no avail. Finally made tihis reservation. Could not reach anyone for information. Stayed on hold for hours again. The agent answers after over an hour on hold but then he couldn’t reach anyone in the office for instructions on getting our parking pass etc in case it was after hours when we arrived. We ended up arriving prior to 4:30 pm and guess what. Office closed. I had to call the 800 vacasa number again Bc no parking passes. Nothing but A brochure in our room. Again I waited around an hour to get A person on the phone by the time we got out to the beach it was nearly dark. I have never had such an experience in my life and I’ve been coming to the northern Florida beaches for the past 44 years. ##### Robert O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W. 25 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location!
