BluVista Vacation Rentals

“We stayed a weekend in off season. It started off with the electronic lock not working. I arrived and the screen on the pad wasn’t working. I was able to contact the host and they sent someone who opened it. They said it does automatically lock when you shut the door and that they did not have a physical key to give us. The person who let us in said someone would come the next day to fix it and that never happened. We couldn’t lock the main door when we left for the entire stay. There are also major brown stairs on the white carpet in one of the bedrooms as well as the air vents being extremely dirty and dusty. Overall the whole place needs a deep clean and gone over. Lots of little things like broken trim, broken blinds, outdoor furniture in rough shape etc. all throughout the house and property. The second day we also found a huge ant problem in the kitchen. They offered to spray but we declined while we were there and didn’t feel safe having spray near our kids. Not worth the money.”

“I had a few issues with this rental 1. Pet fees should be included in the list price once you say you are bringing pets. 2. The owner should stop trying to communicate outside airbnb, and don't ask for more money (for things like a pet fee) without going through air bnb 3. Even if there are additional fees, don't wait until your guests are probably driving or on their way there in some other manor to hold out the check in instructions until you get more money from them. It makes it very difficult and unsafe to put in a credit card number on the road. 4. The smart lock was a pain to use and inconveniently located on a door that is off to the side. All of that being said, the place was clean and the listed amenities were there. We still enjoyed our time but it started on a very very sour note.”

“Location is great however nothing in listing notes the location is in a flood area or bar being 50 ft from property. Downstairs neighbors blasted music every night till after 2 am we were there, literally vibrating items in the unit. No heat in unit and no blankets provided, temps were in the 50s. Property was not clean, mold in shower, shower curtain nasty, dust, dirt and hair everywhere. Blinds broken through out. Holes in interior walls, paper towels filling in holes to outside, dirty rugs, all furniture dirty, no mattress pads just plastic bed and sheets. Dishes all dirty, sink didn't drain. Property should be condemned not rented.”

“We booked Bluevista for Oceans Calling 2026. The festival was cancelled due to flooding from a nor’easter. Bluvista would not accommodate a cancellation even though all of south OC was under water and the roads were all closed.”

“I will do my best to describe this stay compared to other Airbnb stays. First, you pay for the location. Beautiful ocean front views with quick access to the beach. Grocery store, coffee shop and restaurants all walkable. That being said, Bluvista Vacations knows that, probably doesn’t expect to have you come back and has plenty of people that will try it once so they don’t need to go above and beyond. This location is marked as free parking on premise, that is not true and it was my fault but I missed it in the read more section, so have $50 cash on hand. People have been complaining about the air, let’s be honest, it’s always going to be 76 in that place and they know it. If you want to use the downstairs tv at night for a movie, bring your Walmart account info with you because that’s how you sign in and they have no interest in creating their own account for the tv. It was clean for the most part but still sand from previous people and updates have it not looking like photos”

“This house was in a nice, quiet location however there were several issues…Check in pad is extremely difficult to use and see if the sun is shining on it…. near impossible to see the numbers. the front door locking whenever you shut it was horrible. We messaged the company/owner asking for outside light bulbs (esp in the back yard) which is not safe and made it very hard to walk our dogs out at night esp w/a fox & they never came and put any in. husband actually had to take one from the living room lamp. Not even a pizza cutter here. shower/tub areas were not that clean, and there was no patio/deck furniture to sit on at all in the back. Lastly, the furniture inside was filthy. The 2 small loveseats and the large couch were so gross we had to use sheets in order to sit/lay on them. While i know it’s a rental house and someone’s second home, however, this home needs some serious updating! Most (not all) of the guests stated the beds were very uncomfortable as well. Wouldn’t stay again.”

“Great location, parking a bit difficult, but easy walk to beach. Had to make your own bedroom when you got there and strip the beds when you left.”

“Condo was not bad however the cleanliness was questionable. When we checked in there was a mattress protector on the bed that you could smell before you moved the blankets. When we took the quilt off there were various visible stains on the protector. When we told the host they said to take it off ourselves and sleep on the mattress itself. Luckily there was another zipped protector on it but that also had stains. We purchased our own protector to put on the bed. There were numerous questionable red/brown spots throughout the condo and on the pillows on the couch. The pull out bed in the couch has mold or black spots (90% sure it’s mold) on the underneath of it. Expensive rental for the cleanliness to be so lacking. The keypad for the door doesn’t like to work half the time and is very touchy”

“While it was cozy and close to the beach. The unit was not clean upon arrival, had very thin walls and ceilings so could hear every word said by neighbors and every footstep upstairs. We ran out of toilet paper due to the unit only giving 2 rolls. As well as the toilet being damaged upon arrival and breaking fully during our stay. We contacted support who advised that they would send maintenance out shortly but maintenance never showed up. We went 4 days with a broken toilet.”

“Needs deep cleaning. Stains on bathroom wall and couch covers. Stains from air conditioner vent residue. Beds are not made prior. TV did not work. Pool and hot tub had unknown yellow substance leaking around it. Bathroom outlet did not work. Balcony door does not seal.”
