This is our second time staying at Sunset Island. Our party is two adult couples with our adult children 10 in total. VACASA check-in process is extremely unorganized and there is NO social distancing! They need to adapt to a touch less process with door codes and early check if units are ready. They made every rental in the area wait in a crowded parking lot with no parking until exactly 4 pm. Behind the closed window were plenty of units ready to be accessed but they ridiculously make you wait until 4 pm. The Sunset Island 5 bedroom 4 and a half units are huge with plenty of room (a lot of stairs not good for elderly or handicap). The resort facilities and amenities are convenient. We enjoy full beach days and come back for a swim, appetizers and drinks by the pool. A major downside was the bar manager not serving our legal twenty one and over guests due to our CT state license being vertical. (a huge financial loss to them but they insist its a MD regulation) The unit is due for a major spruce up! It looks like it was furnished with higher end items many years ago. Stained furniture and rugs and rusted vents, paint gouges on walls, old bathrooms broken faucets etc. Basically in need of a remodel. No hooks, towel bars or shower shelving for bath item necessities. The kitchen is in desperate need of an overhaul of housewares and appliances. We cook in a lot, everything was miss match and old with a non functioning toaster and no Keurig etc. No furniture on the front porch to sit and relax.
***Renters beware the unit is price gouged more that $3,000 dollars than what we paid for a summer week*** I have been renting and researching properties for well over 20 years. The price the owner and VACASA have this listed for now would be comparable to a luxury unit ocean side or ocean front. This property by far does not qualify for that price! We are a family of front line Covid workers that have been working since March 2020! We and so many others deserve a fair relaxing break without being taken advantage of.
