  : The location of the property is perfect and within walking distance of some great restaurants and Coligny Plaza for shopping, bike rentals, etc. However it was frustrating to learn on Thursday afternoon (arrival Saturday) that the entire building was undergoing construction and we could not use the balcony with the beautiful view of the ocean. Then when we arrive we find that the balcony furniture was placed in the living room of the condo unit and we had to work around it all week. Also, booking.com listed the property (and showed beautiful photos) as having walk-in showers and having two beds in the second bedroom. When we arrived we find that the bathrooms are NOT walk-in showers and the bathrooms are MUCH smaller and were NOT even the same photos from the listing. The second bedroom had only one bed and not the two as shown in photos. When I contacted Vacasa, the rental agent, we were told that "booking.com tends to show pictures representative of what's available. In other words, 'they're not specific'." The unit did have an adequate pull out in the living room but with the balcony furniture already in the living room everything was tight and we were not able to move around freely. Construction crews were there bright and early and at 8 AM work commenced. The pressure washing of the building was not quiet and scaffolding was placed all around as well as the parking blocked off in many areas. The kitchen is well equipped, we were given adequate toiletries and towels for four people, there was a hair dryer available, washer/dryer. There are outside grills on the premises and beautiful firepits/chairs for guests to use in the evenings (but fill up fast). FYI - 8 hangers between two bedrooms and no beach gear at all.
