Vail Vacation Rental condo

We have just spent 8 nights here and were very happy. There were just four of us but I can see how this could easily work for families. The photos accurately depict the decor but you will be pleasantly surprised by the sense of space created by the duplex/high ceilings.

A key benefit is the comprehensive stocking of the condo e.g. robes for the hot tub, some dvds and videos and the kitchen. If like us you like to do your own breakfasts and some dinners, you will be really happy with how well stocked the kitchen is, in both utensils and standard cooking ingredients/condiments. Safeways supermarket is only 5 mins west up the local road so it's easy to stock for the week (but take the supplied discount card and have a double check around the kitchen cupboards to avoid buying duplicate stuff).

Obviously the location makes this place better value than somewhere actually in Vail Village or Lionshead but in fact the inconvenience is not great. The bus service is good and parking is available a short walk form the lifts if you want the convenience of driving. We walked in for two evenings to Lionshead over the footbridge and its less than 15 mins (check out the Montauk fish restaurant - fabulous).

The heated garage is a bonus for the days when it snows. We rented a standard SUV which fitted with room to spare. The hot tubs are another plus but try to get in the one on the left which is much warmer than the other.

In summary, this is a very good, well maintained condo and you will be well looked after by the owner. Highly recommended.
