Please know that this condo is great! The view is phenomenal and the pool is fantastic. I would rent this unit again, no question- if a different property management group took over But, and it’s a big BUT, VACASA was an absolute nightmare with communication and answers to questions. I have traveled using VRBO for many years and I’ve never experienced this level of inept communication before. For example, I sent a message inquiring if there were beach towels available in the unit. A seemingly simple question—I thought. I received three different communications from three different agents. And, only one even answered the question! I also had a nightmarish experience when I asked if a late check out was a possibility. I got at least 8 different communications from multiple individuals and the answers varied from absolutely not, to we will let you know, and everything in between. The messages are fraught with broken English, spelling and grammar issues. I cannot understand why so many agents gave me so many various answers to relatively standard questions. Also, near the end of my stay I began getting numerous messages about how to check out and what to do-of course the messages were not consistent with detail. Some said do “this” others said don’t worry about “this!” Just a total incompetent management scenario. It’s a real shame too because the place is awesome. I will definitely NOT rent from VACASA again! Beware!

We have stayed in this condo for 11 years. It needs updating. The kitchen sink faucet needs to be repaired. Dishwasher racks were terribly rusted. Living room furniture is worn out. Master bed is uncomfortable. There was an open half eaten candy bar left in the refrigerator. Previous occupants underwear left in washer. Someone else’s bath loofa was left in second bathroom
Shower. For the price for the week things needed to be updated and not broken.

This condo is perfectly situated and we were able to get to great activities very easily. The view and beach access was incredible. We'll come this way again.

It was a really good location and from my balcony you could see the ocean and walkway to the beach I would recommend this location

This was our second stay at 508. It is a smaller condo but for the price the views are awesome. We like water's edge for the views, the pools, and the convenient parking garage (except for floor 2) The pools are large with plenty of room for lap swimmers and for children to play. We considered giving 4stars because we had issues with the wifi every day so if you plan to work online or have children that use streaming devices it doesn't stay connected. The dishwasher never worked but we let them know so it should be fixed for the next guest. We like the furniture in this unit and everyone slept well on the mattresses. We gave 5 stars because our issues with 508 are easily fixes and we would stay here again without hesitation. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle, lots of jellyfish, butterflies, and lizards. Great family memories.

This was such a quiet nice place. I loved the heated pool. It was un crowded. I put in my earphones and did water aerobics. The beach was right out of the condominium. It is so beautiful there. The beach chairs were very nice. Everything was clean. I always wipe everything down and mop before I set up anywhere, I did the same here, but I don’t think I really needed to. It was very clean. We loved the comfy recliners. The ONLY thing I would add if I were the owner would be tile in the bedroom instead of carpet. The rest of the condo was tile. . I would definitely stay here again. I hope you found us to be good renters, because we definitely want to come back.

The view from our condo was wonderful! The pool was super great also and having 2 very comfortable recliners made our stay even better. The refrigerator with ice and water in the door was fantastic!! We very much enjoyed our stay, we have nothing negative to say. We received telephone calls and text to make sure we didn't need anything and that our stay was going well. We would recommend Waters Edge 100%!! We will stay here again.

Loved this condo. Super clean, but didn’t have any washcloths. We had to leave to go buy some. Also didn’t realize 2 beachfront chairs and an umbrella was included. Wish I would have knows that before we brought all our chairs down with us. But overall, this is was nice clean unit.

Had a GREAT time and we loved our family vacation. The room pictures were accurate and this is a great place to bring a family. The only negative was the room next to us was smoking all week. The smoke from their balcony was blowing into our balcony. As non smokers, that was really frustrating not getting to enjoy the balcony, that is one of the best parts of staying on the beach. Really frustrating, I wish the entire facility was 100% non smoking.

Condo was just perfect size for 2 adults, but still worked very nicely for 4. Had one maintenance issue that was taken care of promptly. Text messages & phone calls from Vacasa during our stay to make sure we were happy was very much appreciated!

Not very impressive. Sinks in the bathroom stoppers are broke and stuck in the down position. Had to deal with finding a way to get them unstuck. Same drainage issue in the kitchen. Bugs were found in the beds. Incorrect gate codes provided and no response from Vacasa after nearly an hour on hold.

Breathtaking view! The home was exactly as advertised. Beds were comfortable and condo was nice and clean. The only 3 things : no blow dryer, the thermostat is locked a 70 but the place stayed very nice with the ceiling fans if needed, and the TV turned on by itself every morning which was kind of strange. But, I would stay there again.
