We were on vacation in St Augustine when Hurricane Helene hit in WNC. We are from Hendersonville, NC. We had to change condos and then realized we needed to extend our stay. We had a hard time getting anyone at VACASA to help us. We contacted the owner. Explain the situation. He was on it immediately and adjusted our fees. We received a call from the property manager and everything was taken care of. We will definitely be back and thank you \*\* for all of your help! ##### Lisa N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren H. 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place + Great Location We were very happy with the accommodations. The cleaning crew did an excellent job. You could tell they took their time and really paid attention to details. There were even live plants in the apartment! The dishes/cook wear was updated. The master bedroom bed was very comfy. The walk to the beach was close by and the community pool was cleaned daily. The only complaint would be that the storm door was difficult to open. The handle needs to possibly be replaced and the tracks greased. We would stay here again! ##### Lauren H.

There arw haur dryers and beach towels, just a fyi. I called because no one answered rhe wmail and was told no to both items only to dind there was no reason to pack either. Beach towels take up a lot od space in your luggage when flying to not even need them. The key card is needed for the pool, the beach access and the front gate to get into the complex, would have been nice to know. The place was clean and in a very convenient spot to the pool and beach. ##### Brandi B.

Don’t think, just book it. ##### Randa P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric H. 21 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spotless Property, Close to Beach We loved this property. It was clean and well kept, and a very short walk to the beach. There are many restaurants and conveniences within a short drive. Check in was a little bit of a hassle, as I was given the wrong code to get into our gated community. We eventually sorted it out. Also, the kitchen knives were quite dull and hard to work with. Otherwise, we loved everything about this rental. ##### Eric H.

We stayed in R26 in Ocean Village at Butler beach St Augustine for 8 nights Location excellent close to pool and access to fantastic beach. Apartment was clean on arrival and facilities were very good We initially had a frustrating start in trying to get into the condo The door security instructions were vague The ten digit entry code did not repeatedly work even when we asked someone else staying close by.We then found the lock key (no instructions)and used the four digit code and found the door keys .The lock was very difficult to operate and defied attempts to unlock the door until we worked out the technique .Over complicated !!We informed Vacasa of this problem and our real concern about the vertical blinds on the patio window being insecure No response other than to acknowledge the e-mail Two days before we vacated , the oven door handle fell off and it was clear that a previous attempt had been made to repair the handle but this had clearly failed.We contacted the Vacasa assistant by e mail but had no response .The promise of 24/7 support claimed on the Vacasa webpage was non existent.. All things considered we would probably stay at Ocean village again due to its location ##### Paul B.

Beautiful beach The condo was exactly as described. Very comfortable and the amenities nice as well. The pool & beach were a short walk. We used the charcoal grill next to pool amd it did the job just fine. The only downside was the building across the grounds was being repaired. There was some construction noise but didn't wake us. It made the view from the balcony a little unpleasant. The pool closed at dusk so there wasn't anything to do after dark. The beach was beautiful with very nice sand, not crowded at all. Overall, it was a present experience and I would stay again if we're in the area. ##### Carolyn L.

Reviewer Comments: The condo was perfectly located within the complex to the pool and beach. The accommodations were superb! Would absolutely recommend this condo for anyone looking for a carefree, relaxing beautiful vacation. ##### Danielle H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer P. 20 Jun 2021 Liked: Location #### Not again The beds were very uncomfortable. The couch slants downward. The dehumidifier was loud and had to be emptied every two days or it alarms. Washer/ dryer was loud. Cable service was ridiculous! It cut out every minute or two. In the welcome guide they ask you to call AT&T and report the issue. Well I didn’t know the account number and I am not the account owner. So that was a waste of time calling. I was not left a parking pass in the unit and received a parking violation by the property manager. Also a truck caught on fire in the parking lot and quite a mess was left. Once the truck was hauled away, cones were placed by the property management and the burned mess was left there all week. I won’t return. ##### Jennifer P.
