Horrible Disrepair
The unit was gross. Comforters/shams were stained and old. Patio cushions were torn apart with filling spilling out. Can light in kitchen was hanging out of the ceiling. Baseboards in bathroom were chewed up. Bed lamp was broken. Outdoor light was broken (light bulb busted). When we checked in, the AC was set to 85. It smelled terrible of mold & mildew. Awful, disgusting unit.

Very disappointed I had planned to be there and had several days planned. When I got there the elevator was not working. I'm 82 and the unit was on floor 3. I called several times with different answers. Finally they canceled all my plans had to be rearranged

Elevators
Hello, the unit is lovely. I understand there is verbiage about the use of elevators. Though, no one communicated that the elevator was out and we were on the 3rd floor. I had to cancel my family the first night and move to a new condo for the next 2 nights. No refund or offer to move to other unit. I understand that things happen, though the office had said the elevator had been out for awhile. It should be communicated.

Good and bad
We booked this place quickly after our first Vacasa rental was damaged during the hurricane. When we arrived we were thankful for early check in and the elevator was working. Upon check in there was a note that the bathroom sink was broken and maintainers bring scheduled. Maintenance showed up unannounced and opened the door while our toddler was asking and accidentally woke her up; also scared me. The sink got fixed and it was fine. Was not his fault because no one told him we had early check in. The WiFi provided with name and password was not even an option to pick. We had to call guest services and wait for 30 min to get correct info. The place was not as clean as I prefer. You could tell no one had stayed here for awhile with dust everywhere. The master bed was so comfy but could use new sheets. There were parts of the couch that were dingy and need to be fixed , along with parts of the baseboards looked chewed up by a dog maybe? There was hair in the both bathrooms that was not ours which was gross. Lastly , the master bedroom got really hot even without opening balcony door and temp was low. They did provide a extra fan but it was so gross and looked like it had never been cleaned before. We loved the location and the view. We also loved the amenities of both pools. My daughter loved it and we rented a golf cart of easy access everywhere. The food and drinks were great also at the restaurant. Would recommend pointe west, but maybe a different condo or house, unless some things listed above were improved.

Beware of Vacasa Rentals
The only real problem with this stay was the fact that power was out one night then the elevator to the 3rd floor only worked intermittently. The local Vacasa manager was rude and would only communicate via text rather than returning a phone call. The manager told me that it was listed in the amenities section that the elevator didn't always work. This is not visible anywhere to a potential renter on VRBO or is you try to book directly on Vacasa. I tried to get moved because someone in my party has mobility issues and could not go up stairs to the 3rd floor from the parking garage. I was allowed to leave 4 nights early but only received $400 in credit when I only stayed one night in the unit.

Have experienced better accommodations at Pointe West
Have stayed at this condo development multiple times and have had excellent experiences. Unfortunately, this was a mediocre experience, at best. Condo shows signs of wear. Trim and cabinets look to have water damage. Walls, doors and handles were dirty. For the duration of our stay, the elevator was not working. Not pleasant, given that this was a 3rd floor unit. Also, check out time was 10am, which came as a surprise text message on our day of departure. After booking with VRBO, we began receiving communications with a company called Vacasa, which appears to be a property management company. Communication was cold and incomplete. There was not a list of what the condo did or didn't have. What was provided was minimal. Will avoid Vacasa and will look to book other privately managed units when returning to Pointe West.

Dirty, out of date and disgusting
The property looked NOTHING like the photos. It was disgustingly dirty. Took 15-20 photos in every single room to show the owner what it looked like. Lost over $600 on this rental as we left the next morning. They said they could have someone come in and clean it...why wasn't it cleaned before? By the amount of dirt and grime in the kitchen and on the floor, it was clear this hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I was in the middle of cancer treatment and didn't have any fight in me to write a review at the time. I explained to them I was sick and I just wanted a clean and comfortable place to relax and that I couldn't leave the property for 4-6 hours for cleaners to come in. ZERO compassion, zero accountability for the property being the way it was. Shame on you. If the property isn't as advertised, REFUND THE MONEY. ALL the money. Ridiculous I even have to write this. $600 + down the drain for staying less than 10 hours.

Fishing with Dad
We had a great time. Long weekend taking my Dad Fishing at San Luis Pass. This was a great location for that and he needed the elevator since he has a hard time with stairs. He also enjoyed the elevated bed. We all slept comfortably. I was happy to be able to bring our sog along and enjoyed taking long walks around pointe westcomplex. The walking and cart paths are expansive. We did not use the pools so I can't comment on that. This condo had everything we needed. T We definitely come again.

Great condo.. great location!
Beautiful condo on the bay side of pointe west. Was only a 3 minute drive to the beach club and beach access. Condo was beautifully decorated, with a nice big patio. It’s on the 3rd floor, but we had no problems being able to use the elevator. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, including a griddle for pancakes.

Nice Place - BUT better options exist for the cost.
The overall condo was nice. Views were beautiful and location was great. However, the cleanliness of the unit was subpar and the elevator broke multiple times over 7 days. There were 2 different type of medication found under the beds, one of which my dog almost ate. The linens to the beds did not actually fit and the towels were thin. We used our own beach towels for showers. The unit showed signs of wear and tear. The unit needs a deep clean. There are dust bunnies everywhere!!!
