Stay Elsewhere Great location with easy beach access. We walked everywhere. However... Whatever you do, DO NOT rent unit #213. Both of us are US Army, one active and one retired. It is the worst place we've ever rented. Cleanliness: Where do I begin? The stove top, oven, dishes, pots and pans, shower curtain, hair covered plunger, water stained wall décor… Fortunately, all we did in the unit was sleep, shower and get dressed for the next adventure. The “Amenities”: The refrigerator is older than me. It was white; now is it cracking and yellow. The door frame in between the bedroom to kitchen and living room is all around cracked. Hinges are missing screws and are pulling away from the wall. Just a matter of time before it all falls down. The shower handle has now officially broken off. The first two days, it was a struggle to turn the water on and off. Maintenance arrived and validated our various complaints, but could not act without the owner's approval. To take a shower on our last day, we asked one of the maintenance men for a pair of Vice Grips. That's how we were able to turn the water on and off. Maintenance was able to fix the sliding closet doors; which were both off track. Not really a necessity. Can't truly use the closet. There is too much junk stored in it. Vacasa guest services did the best they could. But in the end, we were stuck with a crap unit. This review is primarily the owner's fault. It is clear they take the money and spend it on themselves. They don't reinvest in the property. But as a “full service” property management company, Vacasa also bears some responsibility. As one who has owned several properties and fired two property management companies, it is a "full service" property management company’s responsibility to ensure rentals are up to standard. Lesson learned, review the management company prior to booking a rental with them. If Vacasa is the property management company, look elsewhere.

Harbor Beach Resort Daytona Unit #302 Reviewing Unit 302 listed in Airbnb by Monica as "*NEW*Gorgeous Ocean Front Studio in Daytona Beach! Well it's far from that as amenities listed are incorrect and basically the owner stretches the truth about her unit. No "smart lock" as stated, entry with a lockbox and only one resort & room key is given. Bathroom has mold growth on ceiling, when you shower the tub doesn't drain so you stand in 4" of water. Closet doors are heavy and off the tracks, poor lighting in the unit (none in kitchen) The refridgerator didn't work until our 3rd day there even after notifying the host she never responded. The AC coils were impacted with dust so I had to clean them myself to get some cool air. No small couch to sit in as shown in pictures, just 2 old bar stools that are uncomfortable. Everything is outdated and needs a facelift. The only good thing is the oceanfront view from the balcony. Beware of the $20.00 a day resort fee she slips in at the last moment adding to your bill.

Be sure NOT to leave anything of Value when you check out!! It won't be returned! All was well, except when I left, I realized I had left approximately $200 worth of computer accessories in the room. The evening when I arrived home and discovered it, I called. The next day, Aimee called me back to inform me they had my DVD, Electical 7 Hub port, and various cables. I was instructed to get a printed Post Office label for them to return them to me. I physically mailed the Click-N-Ship label. After maybe 2 weeks it had not arrived. John Anderson said he would check at the post office as to why I had not received it. When I look at the tracking number on the USPS website it says it has not received the package. I called several times but no one called me back as to why I have not received my equipment. I finally sent a registered Certified letter so someone would have to sign for it, on December 18, 2023. I requested a payment for the things I had to replace, with a receipt of what I paid for it. After no response from them, I sent another Certified letter to Westgate Resorts, the Resort company that owns them, on January 29, 2024. I have not heard from them either. At this point, The cost of the Click-N-Ship label,$10.95, will not be refunded, because the post office is still awaiting the package. The cost of the Certified letters, $5.25 and $7.40, equalling $12.65, and the equipment. This ordeal has cost me $23.50, to try to get my computer equipment that was left in my hotel room, that was according to Aimee, and John Anderson received and going to ship back to me. I have no other way of looking at this situation, but to believe someone at this resort decided to keep my computer equipment for their own use.

Very disappointing, falsely advertised This place is not what their website advertises. I have seen prison halls that were cleaner (in an employment aspect, not as a resident). It looked ok until the elevator doors opened on the floor for our room. We didn’t stay. We are requesting a refund. I was so disappointed as this room was booked for my husband’s birthday getaway.

yeah - it worked at the time Our room was on the disappointing side (Room 107). The decor for the most part was OK but the unit lacked maintenance. The shower drain cover wouldn't stay on and their was no drain plug for the jetted tub. Cleaning: we wished there was access to a broom and dustpan so we could sweep up the floors a bit and regarding housecleaning - don't want to guess what was on top of the fridge in the layers of dust. Liked that small samples of shampoo/conditioner/soap were provided, they smelt nice and there was enough to last the time we were there. It was easy access to the nice pool/hot tub and had a good patio area. Looking at some other patios it would have been nice to have cushions on the seats as to be more comfortable. Also we wished that we knew it was our responsibility to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap and pool towels. The bed was ok but the cheap dowels used as curtain rods did not allow the curtains to close all the way, gaps that made us feel a lack of privacy (especially with being on main floor). Beach access is blocked directly from hotel but there is park right next door so that worked out (can't help seawall damaged from storm but this location was one of the few that had a working pool on that portion of the beach). All in all it worked out for the time we were there but will not be adding this as a future vacation destination. Just wish a little more TLC was put into the unit itself.
