Lake Vista 5/4 for 12+Jacuzzi-Pooltable-Kayak

Great place

Great Host, Great place with lots to do

This house is advertised as a 5 bedroom house with a bonus room. It is in fact a 4 bedroom house with 2 pullout couches and neither room with a pullout couch offers any sort of privacy such as a door to close, which a normal bedroom would offer. The first day the hot water was out after a single occupant showered. It took 2 hours and MANY calls to get someone to address this. We were informed the hot water was working as intended but that the house only has a 30 gallon tank and we would need to space out showering. Completely inadequate for a house advertised to sleep 11 occupants. This house is not ready for guests. The fit and finish on the house is very lacking with a dated interior and there was construction going on outside every day we stayed there. Upon returning to the house we always found different equipment left laying around outside on the back patio and deck ranging from ladders, scaffolding, and a pressure washer, along with a host of dirty cigarette butts littered around the exterior from the workers. The hot tub was left completely off and with no instructions for use. The starting temperature was 60 degrees so that it would have taken hours to heat before using and the pool table needs leveling before use. The icing on the cake was the final day the host mixed up the move out dates and changed the codes to the house. This took another half hour on the phone with management to get sorted out. I would never stay here again!

We had initial issues with the access code that was resolved after speaking with the online service. The worst issue we had was no hot water to take showers which is a basic service to be provided. We initially had hot water for one 8 minute shower then no hot water. We were told by owner we had to wait 30 minutes between showers...However, after the second shower waited 30 minutes there was no hot water after the shower. The worst came on Thursday night when we had NO HOT WATER... The Hot water issue was not fixed till Saturday the day before we left. This was totally unacceptable and I am expecting a refund due to the minimum service wasn't even provided to make the stay even tolerable.

Second time at this stay, perfect as always. Quiet place to rest and disconnect from the city.

Absolutely the best Lake view from upstairs of any home in Lake Placid !! The home feels really big & well done.

We had a FAMILY get together ages 70's thru 3 yo. This HOME was PERFECT, everyone thought it was Beautiful. The house, the view, the Lake, the yard, the location. We rented a boat for one day. We just had a WONDERFUL Family time. Also went on Airboat Ride. Thanks for sharing your home. We hope to come back.

House setup was perfect for family getaway with bedrooms on one side and entertainment area away from the kids sleeping. Close to grocery stores and other amenities. Big yard on the water and dock to sit out and have coffee and enjoy the sunrise. Grills were provided for cooking which was a big plus. Management company was great to work with!

The lake was quiet and very enjoyable. The only down fall was the hills. For someone with bad knees it was a little difficult getting up and down to the lake. But all in all great time.

-Pros: Beautiful Lake, big house, Publix across the street, Hot tub clean/warm, & House is well stocked with linens and starter products. -Cons: No hot water in Master Bath shower, loose handle in guest bathroom shower, ice dispenser on refrigerator makes ice but won’t dispense, upper deck leaks on lower house deck so all gets wet below, hurricane type shades on upper deck with metal bars & easy to hit head on. Caught my head & then screw grabbed my hair and I got stuck on it, painted upper deck & stairs very slippery when wet, MIL almost fell, uneven dock floor deck (hubby broke his toe on it), & unknown smell in garage apartment kinda like gas. —There are several cameras on the outside of this property. Makes you feel safe but also watched. One is right next to the hot tub and kept lighting up & moving all the time. Did not feel private. We did have an issue while there. Property manager called my cell phone to report our nephews were engaging in what they felt was unsafe behavior caught on camera. We worked it out & my nephew’s were disciplined immediately and there were no more incidents. We were appreciative to have this information & understand boys will be boys, lesson learned.—Be prepared to sign a 10 page contract when staying with Val Gals. You’ll be relinquishing all your rights. Never done this for a VRBO before. To be fair, we didn’t bring any of these house issue up to management while there. Wanted to make the best of our trip. Maintenance can come after.

Reviewer Comments: We found the perfect house for our stay in Lake Placid at the last minute. The house was very nice, inside was clean, outside was nicely maintained. There were a couple of issues, however. The hot tube had some sort of error regarding the filters, and the paddle boat had a hole somewhere on it. The water was nice according to my grandkids. It did get chilly while there, so surprised they even got in the water. It would have been nice to have a walkway from the side door down to the backyard.

Everything was clean and comfortable. There was a beautiful view overlooking the lake. The location was perfect being near all the important stores and a quick drive to see all the murals. Thanks for hosting us!
