Sophisticated top-floor end condo with mountain views - ski & hike nearby

We went for VRBO for the kitchen which is one of the biggest disappointments. Admittingly, I have no clue what it cost to maintain a rental property in Vail, but this was an investment property getting as much $ out without putting too much in. Be prepared for a tight/steep staircase to the unit. The keyless entry did not work but given a maintenance key to come/go. The TVs were big but required using your own streaming service. Otherwise, no clue what you would watch. Kitchen had old frying pans, one lonely 10qt pot, and a single deep cast iron skillet for the oven. Most kitchenware looked like leftovers/unwanted items from the owners’ kitchen. There was a grill rusted out, the house held it upright, and no propane tank. Replace the poor thing! There was one pod for dishwasher, one small (hotel-size) soap for washing hands/bathing, and the toilet paper could be substitute for sandpaper. The mattresses in the bunkbeds were cheap where you could feel individual coils. If you go that cheap, at least put a foam topper over it. Important recommendations… please do not assume your guest will have access to a computer or use their phones for all info. It would help to post info about the house, where to park (map) extra vehicles, departing instructions, and possibly a city bus map/schedule. The website says extra vehicle(s) will be parked down the street but doesn’t say where. Closest public parking is .6 miles if slots are available. Positive... super clean place.

This is a cozy place with great access to the bus route that takes you directly into Vail Village! Everything was as described and the communication worked well. It might be important to note that there are two parking spaces assigned to the unit and that one of them is no where near the unit - but we had only one car, so it worked for us! Great time - and the snow was fantastic, especially for the beginning of April!

Due to airport delays, we arrived very late. Parking was a little rough the first night due to the snow and that it was dark. We figured it out the next day. It would be helpful to have a map of where to park. Also - this unit does not have a washer/dryer. I completely missed that when I booked. Having one is essential to me when traveling on a ski trip. It was not easy finding a laundry mat. But - that was my fault for not reading the listing better.

We enjoyed our stay here. Very cozy but enough room for the four of us. Close to the bus stop. Plenty of towels and extra bedding. Would definitely come back.
