Room was good. Clean. Washer stops after it fills, but just lift lid and drop it back down and it works. The dryer is terrible. Be ready to restart it alot to get clothes dry. Lint filter was clean. Love the easy beach access. Only one elevator working, but at least we went during non peak time. Would stay here again

We love this location, the condo room itself is perfect for our family. The beach is gorgeous and we love how close we are to some great restaurants, attractions, and the airport. The staff is friendly as well! The downsides… The day we arrived, only two of the three elevators were working. By day 3 of our week long stay, that narrowed down to ONE working elevator. And guess what. That one operational elevator would randomly quit. So we had to walk up and down 17 flights of steps with a toddler and an infant. My friend who was staying with us has a bad knee, she could barely walk by the time we went home. I reached out to the rental company, but apparently the elevators are run by the HOA, and there was nothing they could do to help. It was incredibly frustrating, made me never want to go back. The cooking pots/pans in 1702 are very outdated, one of the pans was so warped that it couldn’t even lay flat on the stovetop. The DVD player in the living room wasn’t connected to the TV. My husband got it all working, only to realize that it needed a remote to actually play DVDs. We searched that entire condo and couldn’t find the remote. Honestly the elevators are the biggest problem we had with this place. I truly wish it wasn’t such an issue because the place itself is beautiful and we love staying there.

Dirty place, needs renovations.

I'm surprised this property had 5 stars when I rented. The building is tall and very nice looking from the outside. I like the fact that your parking space is marked so don't matter what time of the day you go out in your car your space is never taken. My room, in particular, was very dirty, ceilings, fans, curtain, the plates were all scratch and chipped even the texture on the ceiling is coming off. After you flush the toilets, you have to play with the handle a couple of times because the chain is too long and if is on the way, the tank will never filled up again and wil make a noise all day. The refrigerator works but not at its full potential. Freezer don't freeze and refrigerator don't refrigerate. I didn't contact Vacasa during my stay, because I didn't want to lose a day of my vacation nor have them clean the room with all my stuff in there and have all that dust go on my stuff. The room was supposed to be ready before my arrival anyway. Some of the furniture is broken or loose like the dinner table. Definitely they need to invest a little on this property. No point on having many properties and have them abandoned. Because at the end they don't rented for a dolar or two. I paid a lot of money for 5 days. The building have 3 elevators (no AC) and 1 was out my entire stay then a nightmare to go in any of the other 2. One day the elevators were completely out so you have to go down the stairs if you want to. I'm not blaming the company for the elevators.

It was pretty nice except for the elevator situation with only one out of 3 that worked and the master bedroom television had no remote or any kind of cable or satellite or anything to hook up to it to watch tv. Other than that it was a nice stay with a nice beach front view with pretty much anything else you needed for a few nights stay.

Beautiful views of the Gulf and nice patio. I will never rent it again wasted a lot of time waiting on elevators. Three elevators and one was broke down, and permit for elevators expired a year ago. Fire Department had to come and get kids out that was stuck on elevator. Horrible would not recommend this place .

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO..

I typically strive to give good reviews but that’s not happening here. Very dirty and dingy. When we arrived, I was baffled at how gross the place was. Thick dust literally everywhere, gross brown and green liquid in the fridge, disgusting bath tubs with hair in them, sand from previous people on the couch, holes in the walls, chipped paint… just not what you want to walk into starting your vacation. Customer service is a nightmare but they said they came back and cleaned but we still had the stuff in the fridge, dust on the doorways, etc. We spent 3 days back and forth until finally a property supervisor called me and still hasn’t finalized anything with me based on the complaints. At one point they tried to say I was refusing services which makes no sense because why would I continuously call if I was refusing for things to be handled? The elevators were down at least once a day sometimes up to a 30 min wait. You are not allowed to use their amenities if you arrive early or your assigned parking spot. Few good things: good location close to all the things, nice kitchen, they have some beach chairs if you need them, and the beautiful view of the beach. But….Overall, maybe skip this one. I don’t feel like anything is taken seriously here whatsoever and I’ll probably never hear back or have things fully rectified which is very disappointing.

Beach access was great. Elevators didn’t work most of the week.

We loved being close to the beach , having a washer and dryer, a lot of space and having a parking spot. I wish the safety issue of the elevators could have been rectified.

Great views from the 17th floor!!!

Pros: Extremely clean, spacious, wonderful amenities, everything my family needed. Location was awesome you can walk to tons of entertainment. You have your personal parking spot. Hot tub was heavenly... Heated indoor pool and a out door pool!!!Cons: The electric stove front 2 burners did not work. Making it extremely difficult for my wife to feed 2 kids and a husband. I notified the building management and they told me they were going to swap out the stove. For me to "HOLD" 3 days later nothing was done.FYI: For a 5 day stay we only got 2 garbage bags and 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. Need to purchase extra bags and toilets paper. Also 2 rolls of paper towels.

Great view and location

Condo was not bad given the view of the gulf and the location. It is an older condominium building but not terrible. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars completely is due to the fact the company had someone call me while I was out with my family on vacation telling me there would be patio furniture delivered during our stay. The woman who called was very rude and acted as if my questioning this event while we are staying there was not a bother to her. Needless to say she acted as if my concerns was no issue to her and didn’t give me an option to refuse. After talking to my husband about the issue. I reached out to guest services and I’m thankful to them for listening and making sure the delivery didn’t happen. I was very upset on this matter. We have used many condos through this company and VRBO and never had this issue. The part that made it upsetting is that my family and I were only staying 3 nights and I thought to myself surly this can be done while customers are not in the condo and to add this was our first time visiting PCB. Honestly me and my husband are not going to let one rude person working for this company ruin us using them again. I just appreciate them making it right. But overall the stay was nice and excess to the condo was very easy and someone did call the next day making sure everything was going smoothly. We loved PCB and can’t wait to come back.

Great Stay...Very Clean

This was the cleanest condo we have stayed in on the beach. The condo had a big balcony and plenty of room. The furniture is starting to get a little tired. We loved the size of the resort. We usually stay in larger resorts. We also like the security. Overall a great stay.

Overall good stay

All around great stay. Very clean condo. We did run out of toilet paper the day before we left. We also had issues when we came home one day after being out and the entire condo smelled like Marijuana and none of us smoke anything. We had to deal with this odor the rest of our stay. Another issue was not having cable, so we were not able to watch TV. This was an issue seeing how we are avid football watchers. Also the TV's in the bedrooms are useless. There is absolutely nothing hooked up to them. I'm not even sure why they are even available if you can't use them.
