First VRBO stay was disgusting! Don’t stay here!
After a 15 hour drive we arrived to a major disappointment! Property manager was nasty! I have pics for proof but no way to post here. Bunk beds have a 100 lb weight limit and there was NO SPECIFIC notice of that in listing so my teens had to share beds. The expensive cleaning fee bought me… Dirty (not vacuumed or mopped) floors, soiled rugs, sofa & bedding, ants, chip crumbs falling out of air mattress and used blankets in closet, no cleaning supplies, broken stick vac and crusty broom & toilet brush in a grocery bag in laundry room. No salt, bug spray, hand soap, trash bags or beach towels! Says “towels provided” which meant a few bath towels, two wash cloths and hand towels for a family of 5. Only half my cleaning fee was refunded. Property manager and cleaning crew (which had children with them) should be fired! Not sure I will trust VRBO ever again. For a several thousand dollar trip, we were duped.

Great beach house
We loved staying at Calatrava! It was clean and in a nice neighborhood that was easy walking to a private beach or easy driving to several public beaches. The manager got back to us very quickly when we had questions. We will definitely consider coming back to this house in the future!

Calatrava
Beautiful property. Property listing is misleading regarding distance from beach. States that it is mere steps from the beach when in fact it's at least 1/2 mile. Trash was strewn around trash can upon arrival. Beach access was hard to find, suggest a map, and the access code did not work once we got there. Walked back to use the pool and access code did not work there either. Discussed these issues with on-site manager who was at first very argumentative and did not want to compensate us for these inconveniences. After lengthy conversations she finally agreed to refund 1 days rental. Beautiful place but Manager could be more customer oriented.
