I have been going through Vacasa for years now . I travel several times a year with my grown kids, their Families and extended family and friends. We are always happy with our condos. They are always clean and have a lot of amenities! They are always in the locations we are traveling to. Once we had an issue where our paid condo was no longer available for some reason - Vacasa informed us quickly and offered us 3 other options and we picked an option that was more money than the original condo and there were no extra costs . Our vacation was not affected by this at all. I love the site also so easy to use . Love love love Vacasa!

I booked a 6 day vacation at the pelican beach resort for my family and I in Destin Florida through Vacasa. The good - the check in was easy, the location was good and the views were great. The bad - got to the room and there was black mold on the ceilings and walls I call vacasa and reported it and was told that they would move us to give them an hour or two to work out the details. At this point it is 5pm at around 7:30/8 pm someone from vacasa called and said they have found us a places at 2 different locations that would require us to sleep 2 nights at one place and the other 4 at another I told them that would be fine I was told to let them call me back with the details this is on a Friday night. Never got a call back Saturday rolls around nothing, Sunday comes and goes with me calling to no avail no return call, Monday morning at this point my son starts to have reaction to the mold so I call vacasa again I finally get someone that has no clue of the situation and said she would look into it and would call me back. We leave the room to get my son away from the mold while waiting for a call that never came. I go to the front desk and say something to them and was told to call vacasa that vacasa would have to handle it at this point I am very annoyed and frustrated. I go up to the room pack our bags and we cut our vacation short and went home. Just know this could be you and your family if you go through vacasa for your vacation.

We made a reservation in February of 2022 for the week of July 4th. The day before we are supposed to check in Vacasa tells us the home is no longer available due to a maintenance issue and gives us a refund. Okay, things happen, right? It’s not quite that simple though. We managed to find a place in the same area at the last minute through another provider. While we’re in town we notice that there are people staying at the home we had rented through Vacasa. Hmmmm, doesn’t sound like a maintenance issue to me. More like either Vacasa just decided to screw us, or the owner decided to lie about a maintenance issue so they could use the place over the 4th of July holiday. Either way, no concessions from Vacasa, just a refund and a ‘good luck saving your family vacation with less than 24 hours notice’. Long story short, don’t trust Vacasa with you major holiday vacation plans as they or their property owners can just yoink your reservation out from under you and you’ll be stuck with whatever you can find if you’re lucky enough to find anything at all.
